Experimenting with Dwarves

Hey Mark, With the recent discussion about Kaladesh, dwarf support, and female dwarves in Magic, I wanted to give a shoutout to Kaldheim, which I felt did a great job bringing some much needed love to the tribe. The runes were a cool idea and cards that care about runes, like Runeforge Champion, are design space I think could be part of a unique identity for dwarves. On the subject of female dwarves, the card "Magda, Brazen Outlaw" seemed like a complete homerun mechanically, thematically, and aesthetically. I hope the design and creative teams continue experimenting with dwarves like that and the tribe can be an even richer experience for players in the future :-)

There will be more Dwarves in the future. They are a staple fantasy race. They’ve just been more challenging to optimize (to make them the most beloved by their fans) than other creature types.
