Would most Looney Tunes character be primary or secondary Red? Most of them are pretty impulsive and very emotional, even the more measured characters like Bugs Bunny and Marvin the Martian throw a fit and attack people regularly.

Certain genres lean toward a certain color like horror and black.

Can I get a maybe on a 1/2 red and blue fish? :)

One day. : )

What do you think foghorn leghorn's color identity would be (sorry if this has been already asked)

Primary red, secondary green.

Does Bloomburrow’s lighter emphasis on more creature types set a precedent for how sets with more typal themes will be treated in the future? I think I remember you claiming that Lorwyn’s typal density created balance and draft issues, which Bloomburrow’s lighter focus seems to solve.

The big lesson of Bloomburrow is Innistrad is a better model for typal sets than Lorwyn.

Would a black spell or effect that lets you take control of a permanent be an acceptable bend? I know taking control is usually blue or red, but it doesn't feel like a break because black can already cast other players' spells.

We let black mess with other people’s stuff, but more often from the graveyard or their library.

There doesn't seem to be any dogs in Bloomburrow. I'm sad.

In my first preview column for Bloomburrow, I talked about the two takes we could do for the anthropomorphic animal genre. Take #1 involved working around a biome, so it was limited to creatures of that biome. Take #2 allowed any animals we wanted as it wasn’t built around a biome. We obviously went with Take #1 which greatly shaped the animal selection options. Had we done Take #2, there probably would have been Dogs, but probably very little typal.

I was just talking with a friend about how card draw, despite being "Blue's thing", all colors need it because having cards in hand is a resource that all decks need, and thus Blue card draw is the only unconditional one, but every color has been getting some form of conditional card draw that ties it to its color philosophies.This begs the question, why does Green have such a monopoly on ramp? Can't the same thing be done for that? The closest thing is White's catch up mechanics

All colors get the ability to fetch their own basic land type. Red has some ramp, but more one-shot than repeatable. And white does some catch-up ramp. In addition, we make a bunch of colorless cards that can help.

Wazzzaaaaap, Mark da Shark,Just wanted to send kudos and share my excitement about so much of Bloomburrow! It's gonna be my first prerelease in a long while, since M20, I think, as well as there's so many things to love about it. I've been a big fan of Doug Beyer since Kaladesh, glad he was the lead designer on this set. Also super pumped to be getting both a revisit to the Heroic mechanic in Valiant, one of my favorite mechanics from Theros, and the amount of rabbit typal support. My Cadira commander deck is gonna go through a major redesign when the set is properly out. Hope you have a lovely day!

I’m glad you’re so excited. I can’t wait to hear all the prerelease stories.

Do you worry that Bloomburrow archetypes might create player expectations for a specific mechanical identity for each creature type? For example, players might be dissapointed that future frogs don't play into bouncing/flickering, or that future mice don't synergize with valiant.

That’s not how other creature types work, even ones that have had dedicated typal themes.

Given that there's nothing inherently magical about otters (as opposed to some of the other archetypes in Bloomburrw), I got to thinking. Did otters ultimately become UR spellslingers in Bloomburrw because Lutri just happened to be an otter? Meaning if whoever was responsible for deciding Lutri's typeline during Ikoria's design - presumably a mostly arbitrary choice - just happened to decide he was a different animal, you likely never would have gotten to otters as spellslingers?

Otters are spellslingers because they’re the blue/red archetype.
