Art Request

New • 20 Sep 2022 • Asked by mrmoustachemm • 37 Comments

I'd like to request reprints of Glacial Fortress, Hallowed Fountain, and Flooded Strand, all with Jace wandering around in the art please! (So I can have some decent mana fixing when I add the new Jace to my all-Jace deck, in which every card has Jace in the art)

I’ll pass the request along. : )

Dual Lands in Storm Scale

New • 22 Mar 2022 • Asked by honor-basquiat • 42 Comments

Where are dual lands with basic land types on the Storm Scale (i.e. Hallowed Fountain, Prairie Stream, Irrigated Farmland)?

They’re a 3. We do them from time to time.

Possibility of Paper Arena-Only Cards

New • 28 Feb 2022 • Asked by sackface • 37 Comments

Will we ever get the Arena-only cards in paper? Specifically Hallowed Priest and Inspiring Commander? They would fit so nicely in my flavourful tribal deck. Thanks!

I assume we’ll find a home for Hallowed Priest one day. Inspiring Commander isn’t in white color pie. A version that restricted you to once per turn is a possibility.

Fetch Lands in Standard

New • 04 Aug 2019 • Asked by phyrexiathings • 42 Comments

In a standard environment with no basic type duals (ie., glacial fortress instead of hallowed fountain), fetch lands would not lead to 4/5 color decks right?

It doesn’t solve the shuffling issue though.

All Hallow's Eve Trivia

New • 29 May 2019 • Asked by coatsville • 40 Comments

My birthday was the day after Maro Day and I think my ask may have gotten lost in the pile. I’d love trivia on one of my favorites from “back in the day” - All Hallow’s Eve! As a modern-only player, I’m loving the MH1 set so far!

All’s Hallow Eve is the only sorcery (that I’m aware of) to be errataed to be an enchantment for a while. Happy Belated Birthday!

"meitneri asked: Hey Mark, as it is both my birthday and, more importantly, Halloween, I was wondering if you had any good Halloween-related MTG or WotC trivia." "Thanks and hope you're having a happy All Hallows' Eve with your family!The card All Hallow’s Eve is the only card printed as a Sorcery to be errataed into an Enchantment.Happy Birthday!" Actually on Gatherer it's still a sorcery and has been updated to work like Suspend cards, without the Suspend keyword that is.

Oh, it was errataed to an Enchantment for many years.

Color Pie Adjustments

New • 19 Jun 2018 • Asked by cmbr021-blog • 45 Comments

Seeing Mistcaller made me wonder: Is this effect (as last seen in Containment Priest and Hallowed Moonlight) now in blue's color pie in addition to white's or instead of?

We’re trying it in both.

Colorshift to Blue

New • 19 Jun 2018 • Asked by barooky • 34 Comments

"Exile when not cast" is a white effect (Containment Priest, Hallowed Moonlight). What was the reason to colorshift it with Mist Caller and why it had to blue out of all colors, which already has plenty of combo hate?

Certain effects get to be in more than one color. Think of Moonmist as a counterspell variant.

Red Reanimation Spell

Wouldn't it be a Shallow Grave in Red? Or is Buyback actually returning someday?

I was talking about the effect of temporarily reanimating a creature.

Graveyard Order Cards

New • 12 Apr 2016 • Asked by mydrel-kyenshi • 21 Comments

Are we ever going to see "graveyard order matters" cards again like we did with Shallow Grave back in Mirage (among other examples)?

No. We’ve made the conscious decision not to make graveyard order anymore so that players can rearrange their graveyard if they want to. That allows us to be more aggressive when making things that are graveyard relevant.

Favorite Card Trivia

New • 12 Oct 2015 • Asked by atenciontumbl • 43 Comments

Hey maro, it's my birthday and I was wondering if I could get some trivia on one or both of my favorite cards, puppeteer clique and phyrexian metamorph

We designed Puppeteer Clique by putting a cool black ETB (enter the battlefield) trigger on a creature with persist. This is an ability we in R&D call Shallow Grave after a card in Magic that did it. We have talked about possibly this ability also making sense in Red. Happy Birthday!

Origins of Suspend

New • 11 Sep 2015 • Asked by lowbeyonder • 14 Comments

Was Suspend inspired by All Hallow's Eve or is it just coincidence?

It pre-existed so it could have influenced it, but not directly.

Reserved List Comparison

New • 02 Nov 2013 • Asked by themastah • 5 Comments

So wait, RE: reserved list, how is Living End not too close to All Hallow's Eve?

Living End is Living Death (from Tempest) with suspend. The difference is All Hallow’s Eve doesn’t kill the creatures in play.
