Can Black still turn creatures into 0/2s like Sudden Spoiling or Sorceress Queen?

It’s not in black’s slice of color pie, but more bend than break.

would it be in pie for blue to permanently remove a creatures abilities with an instant/sorcery? or is that too close to removing and replacing it?

Unlikely. If an instant or sorcery, it would be temporary. For a permanent effect, we’d use an aura.

Is there a rules reason Omo cannot give all creature types to land creatures? Was that too confusing? Did it break something on arena? I’ve been pondering this and can’t figure it out.

You can’t give a subtype of a specific card type to a different type (with the exception that instants and sorceries share subtypes).

I'd like to point out that if Chatterfang, Squirrel General is now from Bloomburrow, that would be a retcon, because his bio in "The New Legends of Modern Horizons 2" mentions him fighting drakes and orcs, which apparently don't exist in Bloomburrow.

I do not know where Chatterfang is from.

The recently spoiled Brave-Kin Duo having both a mana cost and a sorcery restriction on its ability seems unnecessarily cautious.Some of my all-time favorite cards are the cheap combat-tricks on a body like Angelic Page, Ghost Warden, Infantry Veteran, Anointer of Champions, etc. Is there a reason we don't see those much anymore? They make for super interesting combat. As they're not really competitively viable cards these days, it would be cool to see a more pushed version (like a 1MV Ghost Warden).Or if it has to have a mana cost, why not a +1/+1 *counter* like a Cenn's Tactician that can target any creature? That would be super fun.

This is a common card designed for limited. The power level is adjusted to that goal.

As someone who plays mostly CEDH there are a few staples that are not reserve list that tend to just be generally hard to find even though they are not expensive, while secret lairs have introduced new arts and inventory for some of these cards certain cards like demonic consultation, tarnished citadel, and orcish lumberjack are still hard to comeby in good condition. i know you guys can't reprint everything all the time but maybe expressing CEDH meta cards in reprint sets helps people enter into this growing sub-sect of a fun and exciting format; Cheers and Looking forward to MTGxMarvel and FF

I can pass along the request.

While I'm not a fan of sneakers in Magic, I do appreciate your responses to some of the recent questions. I think back to how kooky stuff has always been a part of magic. From Arabian Nights, to cards like Orcish Lumberjack, magic _has_ always been weird. Recently its just the core fantasy is taking a back seat to corny tropes and pandering. We got UB, were told its not for everyone, and then immediately got UB-esque content in premier sets, repeatedly. Excited for the pendulum to swing back.

Bloomburrow is the pendulum swinging back on that front. It is core high fantasy.

Someone asked for "instant that becomes stronger or gains an additional effect when cast at a time you could cast a sorcery" and you've made those already in Born of the Gods with the Fated cycle.

Yes.

Ever since Mill was made an official keyword action in M21, have there been any other Magic colloquialisms/slang you've also wanted to the same for? (For example, writing "Force" as a keyword on cards instead of "rather than pay this spell's mana cost.")

I have never heard people use the term “Force” outside of the specific card Force of Will, and even then, quite rarely. Is this commonly used?

Mark - first off, I wanted to thank you for all you do for the game and its players. I’ve been playing Magic since Revised, and while I keep drifting in and out, you’ve been the anchor that keeps me involved with the game.Second - I request birthday trivia. Specifically, do you have any interesting trivia on the centerpieces of my first FNM deck, Primal Forcemage or Timbermare?

Timbermare was a nod to “Mare”, the wife of a Magic writer named Jamie Wakefield, who died of cancer. Happy Birthday!
