Helix Pinnacle

Playable Black-Border Cards

I know there's been discussion around cards like "Krark's Other Thumb" being considered black-border playable, do you think "As Luck Would Have It" could also be in that same group? It doesn't seem that crazy, when cards like "Vexxing Puzzlebox" and "Helix Pinnacle" exist.

My biggest worry was As Luck Would Have It was designed around six-sided dice, not twenty-sided dice.

Helix Pinnacle Creation

Helix Pinnacle: You design it?

I had a hand in it. If memory serves, it was designed by Ken Nagle and I put it in the file and added shroud to it.

Hexproof Enchantments and Lands

Could we ever one day see Enchantments (not counting Enchantment Creatures) or Lands that have Hexproof? Or a spell that could grant noncreature permanents Hexproof til end of turn or something?

You made Helix Pinnacle (from Eventide) cry. I hope you’re happy with yourself.

Three-Digit Numbers in Cards

"I think Ajani, Mentor of Heroes is only the third time a 3-digit number ever appeared in Magic outside of flavor text and silver border. Am I wrong? And also, trivia question for your readers: find the other two." Battle of Wits and Helix Pinnacle : )

That’s the two I had. Did anyone come up with another one?

Alternate Win Conditions

Given your love of alternate win conditions, how much involvement did you have in the creation of the (absurdly awesome) Helix Pinnacle?

I believe it was mine. If not, it was Ken Nagle’s.
