Regardless of individual power level of the cards involved, no card with a unique name and rules text should be considered part of a booster set unless it is actually available *inside* the booster. Please stop making buy-a-box promos that are otherwise unobtainable.

Market research shows the majority of players (that buy booster boxes) prefer the Buy-a-Box being unique.

Is there a place (or perhaps a survey) where I can express my insactisfaction with the announced Supreme Verdict promo for the next qualifier season? I'm sure there's a public for this sort of card treatment, but surely tournament players largely prefer promos that look more like traditional cards, no?

I think we’re trying different things to see what players enjoy most.How do the rest of you feel about the Supreme Verdict promo?

Mark, reading the comments, 9 out of ten Question Marks prefer the way retro frame colored artifacts were done with the promo Bolas' Citadel. That also lines up with my impression talking about it with retro frame fans in person and on the internet. Could you please pass along the feedback that many retro frame fans would hugely prefer "artifact frame with colored text box" variant? Please?

I will pass the note along.

If you ever make some more attractions in a promo set or something, can I request one or two that do something good on a 1? Knowing that no matter how many attractions I stack there is still a chance they do nothing is kinda off putting for making me want to play with them

The always miss on a 1 and always hit on a 6 was built into Attractions to guarantee that good and bad rolls can happen, and also to simplify figuring out what’s going on.

I don't like the argument that because original Oko is at a higher rarity on a bonus sheet, it's impact in Limited is minimal so it's fine.

Not everyone plays on Magic Arena and does Limited events dozens of times. Some people only play Limited in paper a couple times or at a pre-release and it's extremely discouraging when the one or two times you play limited, you get bodied by a notoriously OP card that isn't even a mechanically new card.

Magic makes numerous different products, various products where they can reprint cards that aren't also used for Limited (i.e. collector boosters, FNM promos, Secret Lair, pre-constructed Commander decks) or even high powered reprint Masters sets that can be drafted.

I don't see why Oko needed to be in the Play Boosters and I thought the same about Ragavan in March of the Machine. If it's thematically important to release the reprint associated with the set, then why not just do it in collector boosters?

One thing I don't like about all of these bonus sheets is it means in nearly every limited environment with them, the best and most powerful cards are oftentimes old cards that I'd played with or against rather than the new cards I want to be excited for.

Let’s see what the Question Mark’s think about this specific topic.

Should Oko, Thief of Crowns be on the Outlaws of Thunder Junction Breaking News bonus sheet?YesNoDon’t careSee Results

Hey Mark! Somewhat of a silly question. I really enjoy Magic’s current direction, and I feel like so many of the online (vocal) communities around it are determined to be in a swirl of negativity that just doesn’t bring me joy. I have an awesome LGS and a great community there, but I do rely on Magic Twitter to keep up with upcoming releases, promos, etc. If I was looking to try to cut some of these negative communities out but wanted to keep up to date, what would you recommend to keep up?

You can look at the cards on Reddit and not read the comments. : )

I think I've given this message before, but labeling the promo that you can't play in the prerelease with the word "prerelease" seems counterintuitive.

Here’s the challenge. We want you all to have the promos because it encourages you to come to the prerelease. If we let you play with the promos, it warps the prerelease, making it less fun. A lot of prereleases aren’t held through a place where we can deliver the cards in a way that guarantees the players get them if we don’t put them in the prerelease boxes.So what are are options? We can not have the promos, but then you all don’t get them. We can make the promos playable in the prerelease, but that dictates the kind of promos we can do, or forces us to do something a lot more random (a stamped card from the set, for example). That means you might not get promos that excite you as much.We can try giving the promos through other means, but then a large chunk of players don’t get them. I know it’s easy to just say “why does Wizards keep doing this obviously dumb thing?”, but the reality is it’s not as simple a problem to solve as you might think.That doesn’t mean there isn’t a solution, but it’s not an obvious one.

I just want to voice that I really enjoyed the 3 pre release exclusive mythics and I am excited to see which one I'll open. I don't mind they not being playable on pre release, as long as it's communicated clearly.

Let’s test the waters.

Could Gleemox ever see print as a physical card? I don't imagine a card that's banned by its own rules text could fit in a pack, but as a promo or bonus or something?

The rules don’t stop its printing as much as having a 1,000,000 mana cost causes play design issues.

With Pyroblast being a Promo at Local Game Stores with the release of Wilds of Eldraine can we expect the card to be in the set? I am asking this because it is a colour pie break, isn't it?

It is a color pie break. Our rule is we don’t introduce color pie breaks, through reprints, to formats that don’t have the card.
