I was checking out the previews for Bloomburrow and people were raising concerns about Ygra turning every creature into an artifact creature (since Foods are inherently artifacts). Someone raised the point that those tokens (Clues, Treasure, Food, Maps, Blood Junk, etc) could have been given a unique type to avoid unwanted artifact-related issues. Was that ever considered/discussed?(loving the cards so far and I already love "Hop/bounce" as a mechanic for frogs and foraging for squirrels! Also looking forward to the pay/gain life for bats since Orzhov is my favorite pair. My compliments to the chefs! Great cooking!)

We consider artifact synergy a feature, not a bug.

I definitely have a feel good MTG story. I was a military brat growing up and so was always on the move. I was taught to play MTG while in high school in Germany with original Innistrad and in turn taught all my friends there. The friend group drifted apart as we moved and got older, but then Covid hit and playing magic online became the norm. Me and these old friends from high school all started playing magic together online in that time, and it managed to bring the entire friend group back together. People that hadn't played since high school started joining in, and it's now a weekly tradition to hop online and play commander together despite being spread out all over the country, and brought the friend group back together together even though many of us haven't seen each other in person in 12 years.
Thank you so much for giving us this wonderful game that has kept our group together, and have a happy birthday! You deserve it!

Thanks for sharing your story.

If I'm playing planechase on a Ravnica plane, and I cast murder on my opponent's enemy of the guildpact, that wouldn't be a crime, right? (murdering the guildless is legal on Ravnica)

Murder is targeted, so casting it on an opponent’s creature is committing a crime. By the way, it’s not legal to kill the guildless.

If/when another "multiplayer innovation" product a la Planechase/Archenemy? With Commander being the most popular format I think it'd be fun to experiment with different ways to shake up the gameplay.Introducing an optional new gameplay variant with one Commander product a year might be a fun way to try different things.

It’s happening right now. That’s what the Clue product is. It’s a multiplayer innovation product.

Re: A hypothetical planeschase matters planeswalker card. Where is "Planechase matters" in the color pie?

Probably any color could get away with it. The first place I’d consider is blue.

re an earlier question (what they probably menat). If/when a planeswalker card that interacts with the planechase planeswalking mechanic? Like the dice rolling or the chaos or plane effect or whatever

Oh, I missed that. I would imagine a Planechase product would be the one to do it, if any one did.

If or When: A standalone Planechase supplemental product, not tied to either a premiere or UB set?

If.

We've gotten two Planechase Commander sets recently. What are the chances of an Archenemy Commander set?

It’s a possibility.

Does the success of the Planechase products this year help the chances of more Archenemy cards?

It doesn’t hurt.

I love planechase and Doctor Who, and thus plan to make a First Doctor and Susan deck as such. Question: does Vedalken Squirrel-Whacker interact with the planar die at all? It doesn't specify numbers (I know cards that say "ignore the lowest" and such ignore planar die rolls), but I can only assume it won't allow you to "store" a planeswalk symbol or a chaos symbol as its power or toughness. (though, in an acorn game, maybe it could?)

From the Unfinity FAQ: If an ability triggers “whenever you roll a die,” it will trigger whenever you roll any die, including the planar die. This is a change from previous Un- rules. Some abilities use the result to determine part of the effect. If you get a non-numerical result (currently just the planar die, but the future is long), that part of the effect won’t do anything.What this means is rolling a planar die for Vedalken Squirrel-Whacker won’t do anything as it has no numbers.
