Storm Crow

Storm Crow Without Storm

Why doesn’t storm crow have storm.

Because it was designed seven years before the storm mechanic existed. Crow Storm has storm.

Vorthos and Casting Cost

Un-rules question:If I have a Vorthos, Steward of Myth naming Storm Crow (bear with me here), and a Fist of Suns on the battlefield, can I then cast Mindstorm Crown for 0 mana under the interpretation that it “contains the chosen character in its name”?

A noble attempt, but no. : )Vorthos actually cares it’s referencing the character.

Mana Cost Rules

Hi Mark,Do the rules allow cards to care about the *actual* mana cost of cards (including colour & quantity of each kind of mana - not sure how hybrid would fit in there)?
(For example, caring that Storm Crow costs 1 blue mana + 1 generic mana)

It can care about many aspects of mana costs, most that you can come up with.

Reprinting Black Border Joke Cards

Could you reprint black border “joke” cards (storm crow, one with nothing, etc) in un-sets?

Silver Border and Black Border

If Silver Border sets had always allowed black-border cards, do you think cards like Target Minotaur and Amateur Auteur would've been black border? What about Crow Storm?

Yes. Storm Crow could have been black border, but we would have most likely raised the cost.

Battlefield Raptor Vs. Storm Crow

Mark, stop trying to kill magic. Battlefield Raptor is a strictly better storm crow, and I’m not sure the game can take it.

I absolutely love the new art for Colossal Dreadmaw in Dominaria. Is that a Storm Crow picking food from in between the Dreadmaw’s teeth?

Storm Crow's Limited Play

For the record Storm Crow was pretty reasonable in limited in tenth edition because of the low power level and lack of flying. That second toughness was good against pingers too. Not a top pick but playable.

I’ll go out on a limb and say Masters 25 has a higher power level in limited than Tenth Edition. : )
