Why didn't Wizards put Griffin tokens (for Griffin Aerie) in Wilds of Eldraine boosters? They come up more often than Ashiok's Nightmare tokens.

I assume it was a space issue.

Following on from your question about Misthollow Griffin, I remember you saying in the past that you are careful not to turn the exile zone into "graveyard #2". Is that still the case?

I’m trying my best.

Mark what’s your favorite card art?

Original Maro art by Stuart Griffin. The art was not commissioned for a Magic card, so it’s much bigger than much Magic art. Note that we had to crop it for the card. The original name for the art was “The Green Man”. Art Director Sue Ann Harkey saw the art at a show and bought the rights to it. We later found a card for it.

You don't like cards returning things from exile they didn't put there as it turns exile just into a second graveyard. But you've stated you're okay with cards like Squee the Immortal and Misthollow Griffin that can bring themselves back from exile. Where do you fall on effects like the Buy a Box Athreos or Kaya's Ghostform? Does the immediacy of the return make it okay?

For all intents and purposes, it’s sending the card somewhere else instead of to exile, and I’m fine with that.

Am I wrong in assuming that the Adventures are mechanically akin to the card 'Richard Garfield, PhD'? A Misthollow Griffin is only Misthollow Griffin in all zones, with the sole exception of when it's on the stack as Pull from the Deep.

Correct.

"On behalf of all my friends and fellow Magic players named Griffon, could we get a maybe on a Legendary Griffon sometime in the future?" "I took my time machine back to 1996 and made it happen. Zuberi, Golden Feather from Mirage is a legendary Griffin. Perhaps one day we’ll make a second one." Does this mark a departure from the policy of not messing with the past? Dangerous precedent, Mr. Rosewater.

What could one legendary Griffin hurt?

Since our article yesterday was about the importance of art, what is your favourite black-border art in Magic?

The original Maro by Stuart Griffin.

can we get a maybe on ever getting a Luxodon legendary creature? Nagas, Minotaurs, Leonin, Minotaurs and even Griffins have gotten legendaries but our good ole elephant folk still have no representative at the commander table

I assume it will happen one day.

What's wrong with Warden of the Beyond? I thought it was getting cards out of exile that was the problem (e.g. Misthollow Griffin and the processors)

I don’t have a problem with Warden from Beyond. My issue is that exiled cards are supposed to stay exiled. I don’t want the exile zone becoming a second graveyard.

Can you please quickly make another basic land that produces colorless? I understand "wastes" isn't the basic land type for colorless (Thank You!), but until we get a different colorless basic land I'm still going to struggle with the flavor if things like Alchemist's Refuge, Griffin Canyon, and Shivan Reef produce the equivalent of "Wastes".

The flavor is that there are many different reasons mana might be colorless. The Eldrazi strip color out of mana, but that’s just one way it occurs.
