Any chance for more starfish creatures? Niche though they may be, I have a soft spot for them.

I expect we’ll make more Starfish.

Some more extinct suggestions, as I was told off for not naming any invertebrates. No prehistoric sea would be complete without skittering eurypterids ('sea scorpions'), long-stalked feathery crinoids ('sea lillies', cousins of starfish), tentacled ammonoids in coiled shells (altho 'heteromorphs' became insane living knots, like Nipponites), hordes of trilobites (perhaps one with a trident ala Walliserops), and other oddities, like claw-snouted Tully Monster or the giant-eyed Dollocaris.

Thanks for the list.

@RoboBlogatog Could we see Sigiled Starfish's ability on an owl?

I am not a developer. Ask Doug.

>"Besides Goblin, what race of walker are you looking forward to designing?All of them. : )". So, when you expect to have a Starfish planeswalker?

We’re probably sticking with sapient planeswalkers.

First the second Starfish, then the second Nautilus, now the second Sheep. The entire Creative team that worked on Journey into Nyx deserves a high five.

I’ll see what I can do. : )

You are acting all pro-Starfish all of a sudden, but when I asked you for some more Starfish in Magic back in 2011 you responded with, and I quote, "Starfish can suck it." (I can't link to the question here, but googling that phrase will get you there.)

Called out! Here’s the original post with my answer: tehpoker asked: Firstly, let me say how refreshing it is to finally see a block that DOESN’T feature elves and goblins for the umpteenth time. As for my actual question, before inquiring what creature types Magic should have that doesn’t yet (btw, Walrus and Platypus, wholeheartedly), shouldn’t some spotlight be given to the “forgotten” creature types Magic DOES have? Jellyfish, Goat, Pegasus, Turtle, Scorpion, Harpy, Hippo, Whale, Satyr, Starfish, all of these and more are cool types that deserve some love. I am very pro-goat, pro-hippo and pro-turtle. I believe pegasus, scorpions, harpies and satyrs each make perfect sense in the right block.  I acknowledge that jellyfsh have a popular following for purely nostalgic reasons (Man O’ War). Starfish can suck it. :) You got me. I’m a starfish bandwagoner, only hopping on once they got a ground swell of support.  Please don’t think less of me.

First the second Starfish ever, and now the second Nautilus ever! What a great set for sea creatures and the players who love them (like me)! Thanks!

You’re welcome. Note that this was all the creative team’s doing.

Why Starfish as a creature type? Wouldn't it be better simplified to simply Fish?

I think you’re not aware of the starfish lobbyists. : )

Like many out there, I'm a huge fan of the the physical tokens Wizards has been printing for sets, and have been collecting them. How possible would it be for R&D to start consciously thinking about getting physical tokens printed for token types that don't have cards yet by reprinting cards that make those tokens in sets or special products, or by printing cards that make previously used tokens? I need to be able to tell the difference between my Deserters and my Starfish in style, you know?

It’s something we’ve talked about.
