Segovia Trivia

Hi Maro :) I'd like to trade in my survived-another-trip-round-the-sun token for some trivia about Xerex or Segovia pls

I love the planes that have some oddness to them like that, and I know that oddness is exactly why we'll probably never get to see them star in their own sets, so they definitely need more blogatog info to compensate

Segovia came about as basically a joke. This card got printed in Legends:
The Leviathan was obviously huge as evidenced by the whales in the art. But the card was a 3/3. How could that be? This prompted someone, on what was then called the continuity team, to invent a special world where everything is tiny. And as Magic works, once you invent something, it finds ways to get used.Happy Birthday!

Commander Archetype Delays

Is there a reason certain highly desired or very clear archetypes don't get commanders built for them? For example, abzan lifegain is something a ton of people want and it's the perfect colors for it, yet we haven't seen a dedicated commander for it. Additionally there's mardu spellslinger that can combine the burn from boros with the drain from black. A personal desire of mine is to get a creature "force feed" commander to give opponents a bunch of tokens and hit em with massacre wurm. Jund pls

Two issues:
There are a lot of moving parts when making Commander decks (aka different needs that have to be addressed).
There are a lot of different Commanders players want.
We will eventually get to the ones that a lot of players are asking for, but it can take some time.

Magic Novels Shift

Can I ask why the Magic novels were discontinued and the format changed to short stories online? While I am excited and enjoying the Dominaria United storyline, I just recently re-read Invasion, Planeshift, and Apocalypse, and I felt the novel format far more satisfying.

Sadly, the novel fans were a tiny minority.

Urza and Barrin's Potential Objection

If Urza and Barrin were still alive and they heard that Strixhaven was considered the best magic school in the universe, would they planeshift over there and object to that claim?

Tolarian Academy is pretty good for a Dominarian Magic school. : )🐿 - Strixhaven has a tree in its library. Just saying.

Request for More Minotaurs

I’ll see what we can do.

Return of Gating

Why has gating not been brought back since Planeshift? It seemed like one of the few drawback mechanics that worked really well.

We’ve talked about bringing it back.

Planeshift Set Possibility

Is it more likely we won’t ever see another set like Planeshift (where the color pie was really broken/ bent) or it’ll be a supplemental set (outside of any current product we know of). I really like the look of the cards going through them, though I can see how making more “powerful” bends/breaks today could break Mtg in general.

I consider Planar Chaos a failed experiment that we have no plans of repeating. I do think we could one day do a set that color washes to the proper color for old cards out of color pie. Also, I could see us pushing flavor to untraditional colors (such as creature types in colors they aren’t normally in).

Alternate Reality Card Confusion

Did you mean the alternate reality of Planar Chaos, not Planeshift?

Oops yes, Planar Chaos I’ll go fix it.

Future of the Weatherlight

Mark, I would love for you to do continue the adventures of the Weatherlight! Allow it to planeshift again and be the base of operations for our Gatewatch!

We’re trying to avoid non-Planeswalker things planeswalking.

Ikoria Land Cycle Design

Hello Mark! Design question, for Ikoria did you take in consideration finishing the Lair cycle of lands from Planeshift? Maybe not the most popular but they seem to fit both colours and theme of the set?

The tricycle lands were in early in set design.

Tips on Cube Building

Mark, I gonna build a cube with cards from all un-sets, future sight cards (i'm lovin those potential future mechanics), maybe some planar chaos cards and mystery playtest cards. Give me pls some advise how to build such cube? Maybe I should put some blackborder cards? I worry my result would be un-playable.

Pick a theme and build around it with both silver-border and black-border cards.

Dominaria Loxodon Error

Since when does Dominaria have Loxodons? They don't appear in DOM, TSP, CS, or any set prior to 8th edition, they're never mentioned in the art book, the Planeshift: Dominaria D&D supplement, or any of the Dominarian story material from any era.

I was incorrect on that. Just Ravnica, Mirrodin/New Phyrexia & Tarkir.

Weatherlight Planeshift Idea

Just make Weatherlight able to planeshift with the help of Teferi or Karn. Problem solved. We just want to be able to see the new crew, who are awesome characters, on adventures across multiple worlds like the old crew.

We want the ability to move between planes to be exclusively a planeswalker thing.

Planeshift Bablovia Idea

Hey Mark, could i ask for a "Planeshift - Bablovia" supplement? I personally think that'd be amazing for a humor/joke campaign.

That’s a big ask for a pretty niche product:

Domain Errata Explained

If you don't errata for non-evergreen keywords why are multiple cards from planeshift errata'd with domain?

Domain is not a keyword but an ability word. Ability words can’t be mechanically referenced and so adding them to errata does nothing to mechanically change the card.

Planeshift Ability Future

Hello Mark, do you know why the "planeshift" ability like in Horned Kavu never got a name and never came back ?

We called it “gating”. It could come back one day. If it does, we’d most likely keyword it.

Planeshift Series Uncertainty

Do you have any information about the future of Planeshift series?

I do not.

Planeshift Ravnica Possibility

Will we ever see Planeshift: Ravnica?

I think there’s a good chance of it happening next time we go there.
