Gruesome Encore

Gruesome Encore Origins

The card Gruesome Encore feels a a lot more Innistrad that Scars of Mirrodin. Is it a card that was first designed for Innistrad/DKA then bumped into Mirrodin Besieged? Does it happen frequently?

One of the problems with having Scars of Mirrodin bump up against Innistrad was that both were using horror tropes as a core underlying feature. (We tried to separate them but other factors prevented us.) We ended up letting Scars of Mirrodin have science fiction horror and Innistrad have gothic horror but even then yes, there were plenty of overlapping cards that could have gone either way.
