How likely will we get remakes of the rest of the Weatherlight crew? Specifically Starke, Orim, Rofellos, Crovax (pre-curse/Evincar), and/or Takara?

I assume it will happen eventually.

Hello Mark!I am Vorthos player and a big fan of lore. Do you think the following characters could receive a card one day? - Kakkazan and their 3 fellow Kami - The “arabian” wizard depicted in “cryptic command” by Jason Rainville - The Unluckiest planeswalker - Azor (planeswalker) - Leonos II (azorius arbiter) - the Prahv (land) - Ludmilla from the “Sisters of stone death” - Archangel Maladola and the other members of the Orzhov triumvirate - a new version of Tsabo Tavoc (before or after being phyrexianised) - alternate reality characters like Orim, Samite InquisitorCan I have a maybe? :)

Maybe. : )

Why don't cards like Silence and Orim's Chant exile the stack? Could a new version in Modern Horizons 2 (or 3) add that functionality?

Because white is proactive not reactive.

When Orim gets a new card will she still be mono white?

She’d be monowhite, white/blue or green/white.

Is karn and orim named after you?

Karn is not. It’s based on the word “cairn”. Orim was originally Oram, Maro backwards, but we changed the spelling to make it clearer how to say her name.

Which of the Weatherlight Saga character cards (the original cards up through Apocalypse) were you very happy with?

Squee was the one I liked the most. Sissy was good. Hanna was good. Karn was good. Tahngarth was okay. Orim was okay, Mirri was okay. Crovax was okay. Starke was quirky, but I liked it. Gerrard sucked.

Re: healer white Planeswalker. I think the frustration is that having armor and carrying an axe isn't the standard for other colors but appears to be for White. I understand that the armor-wearing soldier type is an important part of White, but I think characters like Orim prove that there are other important parts of White that characters can demonstrate.

I think people are missing my point. We made a healer planeswalker. It’s Ajani. Could we make a second one? Possibly, but there are many other archetypes that have no representation that I think we’d rather do those first. The better ask is - could the healer planeswalker please stop carrying an axe?

Started playing with Tempest when a new friend (still close after all these years) brought some decks over to my house. First rare: Orim, Samite Healer. After a year or two, we discovered there was a "tournament style" (i.e., "rules"), and--design lightbulb!--this was a much more satisfying way to play. Now I'm just waiting for my 16-month-old to grow up a bit so I can have someone close-by to play with again!

: )

Who comprised the crew of the Weatherlight (including past crew members like Jhoira)?

Characters who at one time or another were on the Weatherlight crew: Gerrard
Sisay
Tahngarth
Karn
Hanna
Squee
Crovax
Mirri
Orim
Ertai
Starke
Rofellos Jhoira was apparently a former captain but that was something done outside of my work on the story. Teferi also, it seems, was on the crew at one point.

Hi Mark, I just got up at 4am in order to fly overseas and judge a GP. It's also my birthday :D Any chance i could l get some trivia on either the Masques Rebel searching mechanic, or on my favorite Legend, Lin Sivvi, Defiant Hero?

When we made the Weatherlight crew, we made a few characters that we anticipated would be more background characters. One of them was Orim, the ship’s healer. Then in the Mercadian Masques story she starts dating Lin Sivvi, the rebel leader and got a much bigger role. Lin Sivvi is also one of a small handful of legendary creatures to ever get banned.
