Origins of MDFCs

Would you consider the “Khans vs Dragons” cards from DTK a precursor to MDFCs?

I think Primal Clay wins the honor.

Primal Clay Trivia

Is the answer to that trivia question Primal Clay?

It is. The first time you play it, it’s a 3/3 or 2/2 flier. The second time, it’s a 0/6 Wall and Thicket Basilisk doesn’t destroy Walls.

My birthday trivia fell through the, so I'm giving it another shot! Anything interesting to say on Primal Clay, or its alternate cousin, Primal Plasma?

When Alpha first came out, Primal Clay was the only creature that could both die to and not die to blocking Thicket Basilisk depending on what form it took. Happy Belated Birthday!

In honor of Henry Clay's birthday, could we get some trivia on Primal Clay?

Primal Clay is special in that it is a creature that dies to Thicket Basilisk only some of the time.  Happy Birthday Henry Clay!

Memory Issues with Split

Split permanents being a memory issue is about as much of a problem as cards like Primal Clay being a memory issue, and you reprinted that,

But Primal Clay doesn’t have all its versions as cards on the battlefield.

Rakdos Mechanic Insight

New • 02 Sep 2012 • Asked by stephenmilner • 6 Comments

Man I am going to open a /lot/ of RTR. I don't really like the Rakdos mechanic. Their mechanic is essentially "can't block" but you've been sneaky with it to make it seem like it's not all downside. Unless at times it's better to not use the mechanic - but then why make a mechanic that people don't want to use?

Think of the mechanic as a Primal Clay mechanic. You can choose N/N or N+1/N+1 cannot block. You have total control over the choice and will pick what you need at the time.
