Godsend

Godsend Name Pun

New 04 Aug 2023 Asked by mistymountainsgay 107 Comments

I was today years old when I realized "Godsend" (as in, Elspeth's spear) is a pun.It's a literal godsend, as in it was sent by a god, but it's also a god's end.Very nicely done.

Elspeth's Weapon Choice

New 26 Mar 2023 Asked by blaze-1013 51 Comments

To answer why Elspeth has a sword again, it's because it's probably the weapon she's most comfortable with. She used Godsend for most of her life and when she became an angel and forged a new weapon for herself she modeled it after the one she knew best.


Sounds right.

A Player's Magic Journey

New 07 Jan 2022 Asked by harukami 35 Comments

Mark, since you're talking about the number of questions answered -- I want to thank you for all your hard work in this area! I recently (july 2021) got back into magic after many years 'out' -- I think the previous set I played was Visions! I played pretty constantly from 1993 to 1997, attended tournaments and so on, but stopped when my card binders got sold in a family garage sale lol (It still stings when I think about the number of alpha and beta cards I had).Jumping back in to paper magic after that huge a gap in both story and the sheer number of mechanics and sets was interesting -- given that I had last played *seven years* before we even got Planeswalkers, and had almost entirely spent my play time on Dominaria! Part of it was like riding a bicycle, while part was a huge challenge -- I wasn't just learning a new game, I was unlearning old terminology or mechanics that were long obsolete. While I was googling some answers to some keywords I came across blogatog. Instant follow. Spending the last 6 months reading your answers to questions has helped a lot in so many ways in making me feel grounded as part of the game community and making up for lost time in understanding the history of changes and how they intersected with the community. Gatherer's rulings sections on various cards is also a godsend -- please pass on high fives there! -- but while that can help me from a mechanical play side, blogatog helped way more in just making me feel able to be involved in the Magic community.Just wanted to let you know it really makes a difference!


Thank you. That’s nice to hear. Welcome back.

Correction of Godsend Classification

A previous Question Mark was mistaken. Godsend is not an enchantment. There have not yet been any enchantment artifact equipments.

We've seen enchantment artifact - equipment before on Theros. Godsend is an example.


Yes.

Godsend's Colour Decision

New 02 Nov 2021 Asked by the-darklorous 39 Comments

I'm loving the shift in design towards making equipment that actually use the colours of mana for their design, and to me it seems like a change that should have been made a long time ago. But I have to ask: What led to the decision to make Godsend white when coloured equipment was so rare at the time?


It was a flavor decision.

Just an FYI, if you preordered Godsend part 2 from Amazon, there's a chance the weird release date from a while back has broken your order. You should just be able to cancel your preorder and reorder the book and get it immediately.
