“Q) If zones of the game such as hands, graveyards, libraries, ect were considered by the rules to be a little bit more like objects and thus be able to be targeted directly do you think that would that open up design space for y’all or limit it? A) It doesn’t open up much design space.”Interestingly, a library could be targeted for a time (See - Circu, Dimir Lobotomist), but the ability has since been errata’d to “target player’s library” on every card that did except Nerf War.

Un-cards definitely can (and have) targeted libraries. The main rules have moved away from it.

Is there any hope for future support for Silver-Border Commander? I really want a Silver commander I can use Nerf War with since I realized that my dream of running it with Grimlock won't work because the big dino boy isn't Blue.

If I get to make another Un-set, I’ll definitely make more legendary creatures.

In regards to Nerf War, what all counts as a Nerf Blaster? Am I limited to Mavericks and other semi-auto Nerf guns or can I just mill someone to death with a full-auto 25 dart Rampage?

If it’s made by Nerf and it’s a blaster (something that shoots darts, discs or pellets), you’re good.

I heard Ken Nagle designed Hescon promo Grimlock. Little while ago, you said you designed one of the Hecon promos. Is Nerf War is the card you designed?

I had a hand in designing Sword of Dungeons & Dragons. It was created in Unstable design.

I'm very sad I'll never get to cast Nerf war as it is a special promo that I don't have access to. Are there any future plans to make these promos in Un4?

These promos (with the exception of Sword of Dungeons & Dragons that was actually designed for Unstable) are a lot like the holiday cards. They are designed to be more entertaining to read than to play because we know that the vast majority of the audience will experience them through that lens.

Both Nerf War and Grimlock feels narrow. I own neither any Transformers nor any Nerf things. how would you respond to people living in a country where those things aren't widely available? The D&D sword at least work regardless of people playing D&D. but the others are going to be pointless to lots of people, demanding that people bring unrelated toys with them or cards won't work is stupid.

They’re promotional cards showing up only in a special box. The only one showing up in an actual booster product is the one you admit plays the best in isolation.

Does Nerf War allow for use of disc-based Nerf-brand launchers, or are only dart-based Nerf-brand launchers allowed?

Only dart based.

How often did/does an impromptu Nerf shootout break out at R&D?

Not enough. : ) (Once every other year.) It used to happen about once a month (and often more frequent than that) back in the day. We even had Nerf War days.
