Rysorian Badger

Wyverns & Badgers Trivia

Hey Mark, hope you and your family are enjoying the weekend. I had a birthday trivia request - can I get some trivia on either wyverns or badgers in Magic?

Rysorian Badger, a book promo card, was named after former Wizards employee Rhias Hall. My guess is she liked badgers. Rhias was a Goth and worked in what was at the time called Events but we now refer to as Organized Play. Happy Birthday!

Hello! It's my birthday AND I just landed my job at WotC UK! Please may I have some trivia about my favourite creatures, badgers?

Rysorian Badger is one of a handful of cards named after a (former) Wizards employee. That employee is Rhias Hall and she used to work in our Organized Play department back in the early days of Magic. Happy Birthday and Congrats on the job!

Badger and Wolverine Cards

Is there a possibility that we will ever see a badger or wolverine printed? I think they would be awesome in green, and would be a very flavorful place to stick a Fight related ability.

Magic already has Giant Badger, Rock Badger and Rysorian Badger for badger and Deepwood Wolverine, Grizzled Wolverine, Karplussan Wolverine, Rabid Wolverine, Spurred Wolverine and Wolverine Pack for wolverines.
