Slime Against Humanity

Card Words Addition Discussion

It's just a slippery slope to putting a lot of extra words on cards for minimal mechanical gain.Putting it on specifically slime against humanity would actually decrease the amount of words on it but whatever. (Scince “Kindred Ooze” is only two words but “Or are named Slime Against Humanity” is six)

Decisions like this tend to be decided more big picture. One card might benefit, but the larger game as a whole wouldn’t when thinking about the change across many cards.

Card Ability Request

I would like to request a white card with the rat colony / slime against humanity / dragons approach / persistent petitioners ability.

It will happen eventually.

Designing Synergistic Cards

So, with the release of Slime Against Humanity, obscure cards like Nantuko Shrine got way, way more popular because of the synergy betweet the two. Does R&D ever develop new cards in order to bolster more older obscure cards, or is it usually just a coincidence?

We make open-ended designs aware of things that exist in the past.

Tribal to Kindred Shift

Why isn’t slime against humanity kindred when that would make the card text much cleaner and make sens flavor vise.

Us changing Tribal to Kindred hasn’t changed our stance on how much we want to use the card type, which is very infrequently.

Prelease Deck Showcase

At the prerelease one player had 7 Slime against Humanity (2 were foil) it was really impressive watch their opponant just unable to really manage it, kind of reminded me of Pack Rat. But the two most egregious deck was the ultimate winner with 4 mythics and 4 rares with 2 copies of Aurelia's Vindicator, Incinerator of the Guilty and Argus Kos, then double Elegant Parlor, Wojek Investigator and Krenko, with 3 copies of Lighting Helix to really round out the deck. While my first round opponant got dual lands for 5 rares, Reenact the Crime and Archdruids Charm, they had only 4 removal and only 2 flyers in their whole pull. Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes Oko shows up and steals all your playable rares. Overall the games were some of the most fun nearly every player I spoke with had in years. Great job.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Exile vs Graveyard

Hi Mark, you often comment on not wanting the exile zone to function as a second graveyard but isn't caring about the number of specific cards (slime against humanity) in that zone a bit that?

The reason for caring about the graveyard *and* exile is so there isn’t tension removing cards from the graveyard (something that happens frequently due to collect evidence).

Printing Rates Question

Do you know if Slime Against Humanity appears more often on print sheets than other commons? I don't imagine it being limited-viable, but there is very heavy demand for the card already

I believe it is printed at the same rate as every common.

Slime Against Humanity Mechanics

Hey Mark!
Do you know how the new card Slime Against Humanity would work with facedown copies of the card in exile? (Say, if the owner was unaware of them.)
Thanks.

Cards can’t count the properties of face down cards in exile. Interestingly, it can care that it’s a card, so it will count it if the effect specifically cares about just cards in exile. In short, Slime Against Humanity won’t care about face down Oozes/other Slime Against Humanity cards

Was Slime Against Humanity ever a Creature card?

Not that I know of.

Card Availability

Hi Mark! When you make a card like Slime Against Humanity, do you print more of it compared to the other commons in the set? The reduced availability due to the amount needed for decks has made it difficult for me to collect cards with the "any number" effect in the past.

They’re printed at the same level as every other card of the same rarity.

Renaming Kindred

Hey Mark, alongside the return of wither and poison as one-offs in MKM, did you consider making slime against humanity a kindred - ooze card ?

Renaming kindred doesn’t change our feelings about kindred.

Slime Against Humanity Deck

I have already brewed a deck for Slime Against Humanity. Bravo!

I was so tempted to put that name in my teaser, but all the rest were all top-down murder mystery names, so I didn’t. Happy you’re happy.
