Splinterfright

Green Mill Mechanisms

Green also gets mill since golgari works out of the graveyard, like Splinterfright and deadbridge chant.

Green did get milling within dredge. Green will also look at cards from top of library and pick done with the rest going to graveyard (a la Mulch).

Green's Graveyard Mechanics

It seems to me that graveyard-related effects are becoming relevant on green cards...What is the reason for that? I'm talking about cards like Nemesis of Mortals, Boneyard Wurm, Ghoultree, Splinterfright, Kessig Cagebreakers, etc. etc., I always considered graveyard effects to be part of black's color pie

Green has always cared about the graveyard. Lhurhoyf, for example, was back in Ice Age.

Handling Silly Queries

How do you stay so patient when people ask you silly things? Someone recently asked for more "*/* not tied to hand size". This person apparently isn't aware of Wayfaring Temple, Voice of Resurgence, Splinterfright, Rubblehulk, Pack Rat, Malignus, Geist-Honored Monk, Crusader of Odric, Consuming Aberration, or Boneyard Wurm. Exactly how many */*'s do they want? And how do you stay so calm?

After years of doing this, I can get in a meditative zone while answering. : )

Graveyard Interaction

I've heard people say that after Black, Green is actually the secondary color for graveyard interaction. Is this true, and if so, do you usually use it in the Vengevine "care about specific cards in graveyard" sense, or the Splinterfright or Ghoultree "It's the quantity that matters" sense?

Black is clearly number one when it comes to graveyard interaction. Green is number two with white a close third. Green’s graveyard interaction comes from its cycle of life feel where it gets life from death (aka returning cards from the graveyard to the hand). Green does a little of creatures in graveyard coming back into play but if that’s the part you’re studying the color pie for, white is ahead of it.

Splinterfright's Creator

Who designed Splinterfright? I think it will be a really fun card to try.

Splinterfright was designed by Richard Garfield. And yes, it is quite fun.
