Stroke of Genius

Gush Fairness Assessment

Is gush fair? It's just stroke of genius for 2

Gush is restricted in Vintage and banned in Legacy. So, I’ll call it “not fair”. : )

Vorthos Cost Reduction

Hi Mark! My last Vorthos question (I promise): Does Vorthos reduce the costs of cards that don't directly depict the named character, but *depict a depiction* of them? For example, if I choose Karn, do I get a discount on Stroke of Genius (you can see a drawing of him on the wall beside Urza)? Or, if I choose Jaya, will my Comic Con promo Chandra, Torch of Defiance cost {R} less (there's a stained glass window with Jaya's portrait in the art)?

I think a clear depiction in art of the character in question would count.

Custom Wedding Card Saga

I am attending a wedding between two of my friends in my playgroup. I wanted to make a personalized greeting card for them as something special. I was trying to work out what to put on the card, when a stroke of genius hit.I'll put them *on* a card.So I made custom card for both the bride and groom, then I designed a saga for the front of the card that represents the wedding. Each of the four chapters are a mechanical representation of someting old, something new, something bowwowed, and sonething blue. The bride's card is green, the groom's is blue, and the saga ended up blue-green (this was coincidence). All were top-down designs.Thank you for all of your design articles and all you do. It helped me create something I am sure they will cherish.

Thanks for sharing. That sounds both cool and sweet.

Positive Feedback for Zendikar Rising

I wanted to say Zendikar Rising, first impression is that it's my favorite Limited format of the year. Slam dunk! The MDFCs rule and there's so many good and exciting "glue" card that enable different synergies. I also really like the colorless Relic artifact cycle, I think that's a stroke of genius.

Happy to hear you enjoy it.

Braingeyser Confusion

So confused. In the morningtide podcast you said you designed (broken, targeted) braingeyser. But that card was in alpha, last printed in revised. So maybe you’re thinking of another broken targeted draw spell?

I was thinking of Stroke of Genius.

Creativity Colors

Is creativity Red, Blue, or both? I liked the idea of Purphoros being the God of Artistry, but I don't see why Blue couldn't have a Stroke of Genius (pun intended).

Creativity is a red/blue thing.
