Do you have a favorite draft environment?

I really enjoyed Shadowmoor/Shadowmoor/Shadowmoor.

Perhaps a question for the readers: when people ask you for a return to Lorwyn, do they typically mean Lorwyn, Shadowmoor, or both?

Readers?

Can I please request that we replace Ravnica with Bloomburrow as the go to two-color plane. I don't think I've been this excited for a magic set since the end of the weatherlight saga? Maybe Shadowmoor/Eventide?

I know its fleeting and we have a lot I'm going to dislike next year so I'm going to enjoy the heck out of this set. But PLEASE consider making this a soon return.

Success breeds repetition.

Does the way hybrid works in Commander makes you unlikely to do another set heavy on hybrid cards? (But probably not as heavy as Shadowmoor.) I ask a fan of hybrid, hoping that's still possible.

We’re going to use hybrid how we need to use it. Commander will use it how it wants to use it.

Not fully educated about bloomburrow but under the impression it's just/similar to lorwyn/shadowmoor, so I must ask, are noggles coming back?

They’re pretty different. Bloomburrow is full of anthropomorphic animals. Lorwyn/Shadowmoor is not that.

If/when, an all-hybrid set?

If. Shadowmoor was fifty percent hybrid and it proved to be too much.

Hybrid cards are supposed to be effects that could work in either color individually, since they can be cast with either color individually. But I’ve noticed recently that a lot of hybrid cards aren’t really in pie for all of their colors. Spitting image, augery adept, several of the companions, and many others all are hybrid cards that aren’t actually in pie for one of their colors.

Let’s talk them through. Spitting Image - Green normally only copies its own creatures, but it is tertiary in copying creatures, often in token form, so it’s a bend, but not a break. Augery Adept - White normally doesn’t get curiosity (saboteur draw), but it can jump through a hoop once a turn to draw a card, so this is a bend. The life gain is the more serious issue. Blue doesn’t normally get to gain life, but we let it do so on rare occasion (there are two blue cards that make Food), so I’ll call it a strong bend. No part of the card is a clean break though. Have we ever made mistakes with hybrid? Sure. Shadowmoor block pushed hybrid a bit more than it should as almost half the cards were hybrid. That said, the percentage of color pie breaks among hybrid cards is below monocolor cards, so it’s not an increased threat of a color pie break.

I think I missed that detail during the presentation, is the return to Lorwyn an actual "sequel" to Lorwyn (and maybe Shadowmoor) block? Or is it more of a backdrop set?

It’s a return, not a backdrop set.

What other worlds besides Eldraine have a big enough mono color theme where Adamant could be a fit?

Shadowmoor. : )

There’s a question I’ve had about planeswalkers for a while now that is only more prevalent because of omenpaths. How come nobody is ever confused by the races?!? Cat people are only native to some planes; but Ajani has been to innistrad, kaladesh, kamigawa, lorwyn//shadowmoor, and Zendikar, all of which are planes that do not have any cat people. How come nobody is ever shocked or terrified of this hulking 6’6” cat person? Daretti has been to kaladesh, Dovin has been to regatha, all 5 of the original planeswalker cards were on lorwyn which has no humans, and nobody is ever shocked or confused!

Just because the stories don’t focus on that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.
