Bloomburrow Teaser Mechanics

New 11 Jul 2024 Asked by shahrathestoryteller 2 Comments

Hi Mark! Unless there's more spoilers we're missing, what are the "two mechanics that came out in the same set return each part of a different two-color archetype" in the Bloomburrow teaser?


Flashback and threshold.

About Bloomburrow's Animal Diversity

New 01 Jul 2024 Asked by j-waffles 11 Comments

I just want to make sure I understand. Bloomburrow has its 10 animals for each color pair, but there ARE other animals on the plane, right? I’m asking for my friends archelos, anara, Rin&Seri, falthis, Ayula, arahbo, comet, keleth, doc aurlock, Roxanne, Roon, beau, kudo, and phelia.


My teaser today lists other animal types.

Interpreting Bloomburrow Teaser

New 01 Jul 2024 Asked by dwaginfodder 5 Comments

In the Bloomburrow teaser, for "Two mechanics that came out in the same set return each part of a different two-color archetype", do you mean that the mechanics appear in two different archetypes from each other or that the mechanics both appear in different color pairs from their previous iterations? Thanks!


The two archetypes I’m talking about are two two-color archetypes built around an animal from Bloomburrow.

Critique on Teaser Decisions

New 01 Jul 2024 Asked by j-waffles 6 Comments

Hey mark, I wanted to say that I thought it was an odd decision to have your teaser include stuff that has already been spoiled (the cycle of uncommon lands that each reference four creature types)


There are a lot of moving parts to a preview season. I try my best to not hint at things already known, but sometimes it doesn’t work out.

Bloomburrow Pre-Set Teaser Preferences

New 30 Jun 2024 Asked by tsukaistarburst 5 Comments

Just wanted to put this in your inbox on the very slim chance you might miss it if it was just in a comment: I love your pre-set teaser every time Mark. I feel as if it's an essential part of every Magic release. So I'm super happy to hear Bloomburrow's is coming up tomorrow. Please don't ever stop writing them!


Glad to hear you enjoy them.

Seeking Information on Death Race

New 30 Jun 2024 Asked by myheartgoesoontz 1 Comments

This might seem like an odd ask considering we have people complaining about Duskmourne encroaching on Bloomburrow, but when are we going to get any more info about "Death Race"? It releases in 6-7 months and we don't even have a name publicly known for it, or any information besides the very brief teaser at GenCon last year. We're about to start the Magic year that includes it and we know barely anything.


I promise more info is coming. I can’t tell you exactly when though.

Appreciation for New Templates

New 29 Jun 2024 Asked by daveclarkeart 4 Comments

Just want to mention that all the duskmourn and bloomburrow teasers using the new enters template look very nice :)


Happy to hear that.

Previews Schedules Consequences

New 29 Jun 2024 Asked by duskguard 3 Comments

In hindsight, do you think showing so much Duskmourn right before Bloomburrow got the spotlight could have been a mistake?


As I explained above. We have to give stores an idea of how much to buy, which requires us making sure the players understand what it is, so they can express their desire to the stories adequately.Monday, I’m posting my Bloomburrow teaser, and previews are never too far behind. I promise, if you’re excited about Bloomburrow, previews will suck you in.

Bloomburrow Teaser Release

Mark when can we expect your Bloomburrow teaser?


A week before previews begins usually.

Article 'Elegance' Availability

New 30 May 2024 Asked by carvedocean 49 Comments

Hi Mark! This is an odd one but I'm desperately trying to locate a complete form of your Article "Elegance". The polarised responses you show in "An Elegant Response" along with your mentioning it in Drive to Work #44 (I'm a only *a little* behind) have me ravenous to read it. I've found the base 50 words (through the wayback machine) but the hyperlinks don't work and the teaser has only gotten me more excited, do you have any suggestions as to where I might find more of this article?


“Elegance” has been lost to time. It’s a huge amount of work to fix all the links, and is considered not worth the investment of time. I can look at home and see if I can track down the original version on my computer.EDIT: I had it on my work computer. See above.

Teaser Impact

New 11 May 2024 Asked by honor-basquiat 27 Comments

"I have you officially run my teaser by internal people, and right now they’re saying “no teaser”. How do others feel?" Can you please poll your question marks about this? I find it difficult to believe there would be a significant number of people who wouldn't want a teaser, even if someone looked at all of the leaks I don't know why they still would explicitly not want a teaser to be created.


One of the key functions of the teaser is to create online conversation. If every tease is just followed by “It’s blah”, it loses a lot of its impact.

Leak Consequences

New 11 May 2024 Asked by honor-basquiat 0 Comments

"I’m not sure I’m doing a teaser. The leaks make it hard to do it in a way that will lead to the effect I aim for when making the teaser."

I hope you reconsider this. There are players that deliberately go out of their way to avoid unofficial leaks (which can be challenging from a will power perspective) so it would be unfortunate to also lose out on your teaser for such an interesting and dynamic set.

For what it's worth, I'd imagine there's enough stuff that wasn't leaked so you could make a teaser that includes several hints that are are still a surprise to even those who saw the leaks.

Teaser Uncertainty

New 11 May 2024 Asked by lordmohses 19 Comments

Hi Mark,Really excited for MH3 around the corner, when does your teaser come out for it?


I’m not sure I’m doing a teaser. The leaks make it hard to do it in a way that will lead to the effect I aim for when making the teaser.

Elspeth's Return Teaser

New 15 Apr 2024 Asked by azetsu222 44 Comments

When will we see Elspeth again?


I can’t say when, but I can say we will.

Typing Teaser Error

New 29 Mar 2024 Asked by lemonyfresh 39 Comments

Hi Mark, On the teaser list was 'Creature - Rhino Brawler' and today we saw a Rhino Warrior with 'Brawler' in the name. Was there a last minute change in typing?


It was me messing up when I was making my teaser.

Creature Type Error

New 28 Mar 2024 Asked by pikachugirltits 27 Comments

Hey Mark, your teaser listed a Rhino Brawler as one of the creatures types in the set, but the card Railway Brawler was just spoiled as a Rhino Warrior. Was this an error in your teaser or is Brawler a new creature type?


It was an error in the teaser.

Duelist-Style Teaser Reprints

New 22 Mar 2024 Asked by butttaco7 26 Comments

In your Duelist-style teasers, have you/would you ever tease a reprint without calling it out as such?


Not on purpose.

Teaser on Today's Work

New 20 Mar 2024 Asked by thetitan555 43 Comments

Can I request a nonsensical teaser about something you worked on today?


I took a mechanic I thought was too broad and made a narrower, more flavorful version of it (a la devotion) for an exploratory design playtest.
