Rashmi Trivia

Hey Maro! It's my birthday today! I was hoping to get some trivia about my favorite commander Rashmi! Thanks for all you do!

Rashmi was the creator of the Planar Portal, so we wanted to capture the sense of her doing wonderful things. I think we were told that she was green/blue and built the card trying to match her flavor in those colors. I think the final card is close to the first attempt at the design (with a bunch of number tweaking).Happy Birthday!

Changelings and Planar Portals

Couldn't we do what Comics do any use story to explain bigger changes in the future? Like, if we need Changelings in every tribal block, make a story about them escaping through the planar portal and getting scattered on every plane or something.

1) Planar portals are no longer really a thing. The Planar Bridge, the only existing planar portal, can’t transport living materials. Bolas had to raise a zombie army covered in lazotep to use it.2) While changeling is an answer for heaby tribal sets, it’s far from the only answer mechanically.3) Worlds need creative integrity. We try to avoid using things that conflict against the nature of the world.

Ulgrotha Portal Trivia

It's finally time for my birthday trivia! Could I get some trivia on the Dwarven planar portal at Ulgrotha?

There’s not much to tell. We don’t know where the portal went. Note that the Mending shut down all interplanar portals, so it’s a moot point.Happy Birthday!

Kaladesh Trading Network

What are the chances of Kaladesh setting up a trading network with other planes using the planar portal technology? Even if they can't send organic material through, they could probably still find a way to communicate.

Note that very few people on Kaladesh are aware of the true meaning of the Planar Bridge.

Elder Dragons Mystery

Ugin, Bolas and the other Elder Dragons don't yet have a stated plane of origin. We do know that they all made their way to Dominaria at some point, but due to the nature of the Multiverse pre-mending, this could have happened with use of a planar portal. M19's story has been very careful not to tell us the birthplane of Bolas, only saying, "a world that is not Tarkir, although there is no name for it in the language of the windfolk."

I keep getting different feedback on this. I’m going to have to ask the creative team when I’m back in the office.

Eldrazi Planeswalker Status

If the Eldrazi travel from plane to plane, does that make Emrakul a planeswalker?

Not technically. Planeswalker got is a particular way to travel between planes. Using a planar portal to travel between planes doesn’t, for example, make you a planeswalker.

If Phyrexians can't ever planeswalk, what happened during the invasion?

They used a planar portal. Hey, I knew a story question. : )
