Sins of the Past

Counterspell Power Level

Given how strong answers and threats are in Standard is Counterspell / Mana Leak still considered too strong? Or is it just negative connotations from sins of the past?

Power level is not my forte.

Character Name Concerns

So maybe this is a question for Creative, but were there any concerns about putting characters named Jaya, Jodah, and Jhoira all in the same set, especially with overlapping colors?

It’s called suffering for the sins of the past. : ) We joked about it, but it’s the characters the story needed.

Planeswalkers and Mana Costs

“Why don’t planeswalkers have cards that let us avoid mana costs like every other permanent? Um, because we’ve gotten smarter.” Well aren’t Planeswalkers thematically creatures that have ascended such that they should be able to be reanimated the way creatures are. Besides, you could always make a Planeswalker reanimation spell cost 6 mana so that it would never be played (like Sins of the Past).

You do understand that the flavor of a planeswalker leaving play isn’t that he or she died, but that they have decided to no longer help you. Their loyalty, not their life, has faded.
