Recurring Nightmare Reprint Query

Your article today mentions Set Design tried putting a straight Recurring Nightmare reprint into Modern, then removed it when it playtested too strong... Recurring Nightmare is on the Reserved List, which your article didn't mention. Did it not come up until after the playtests?

It’s possible they put it in and then remembered they couldn’t. I just know it was in the file for a short blip. Maybe they were getting a sense of it knowing they’d tweak it later.

Gold Bordered Cards Rule

I have a gold bordered copy of Recurring Nightmare from the World Championship decks. Can I put it into my hand with Spike's ability?

No, because it has an illegal back.

Card Creation Frequency

I know there's a "Days since we've heard Maro" board to reflect how loud you can get. Is there a "Days since Maro created a fixed version of an older card" board to track how often you create hilariously busted cards like Tinker and Recurring Nightmare?

There’s only so much white space room. : )

Birthday Trivia Request

Finally time for birthday trivia. I started my collection in Exodus so I would like trivia on either of my favorite cards from the set, Hatred or Recurring Nightmare.

I designed Recurring Nightmare as a redone version of one of my favorite cards of all time Hell’s Caretaker from Legends. My new version was a non creature version just to be a little different. Happy Birthday!

Term 187 Explanation

To further clarify, the term "187" started being used around the era of the Survival of the Fittest/Recurring Nightmare standard deck, when many of the creatures with ETB abilities used were those that killed something upon entering play, like Nekrataal and Ukatabi Orangatang.

That is correct. I should stress that while I am trying to help explain Magic slang, I want to point out that this particularly slang is upsetting to some people and something like ETB (for “enter the battlefield”) is probably a better choice.
