The Great Aurora

All DFC Set Feasibility

New • 20 Jun 2023 • Asked by littleorlock • 59 Comments

In a world where wizards still did gimmick sets, do you think there's any meat on the bone for an all double faced set? Flavorful could take place during the great aurora or on tarkir split between timelines, etc

It would be logistically too unwieldy to track.

Lorwyn Plane Inquiry

New • 31 Mar 2023 • Asked by corhydraeuniverse-blog • 40 Comments

The most recent "Invasion of Lorwyn" confuses me, because it is not "Invasion of Lorwyn-Shadowmoor". Can we please get any official confirmation on how the plane functions after the events of that block? Is the great aurora still happening? Are the two versions of the plane still distinct or is it unified now? Or are those details you intentionally leave blank until you're planning a concrete return to the plane?

The invasion happened on Lorwyn.

Artifact and Enchantment in Future Story

New • 25 Apr 2020 • Asked by calituco-blog • 36 Comments

Hi Mark, hope you and your family are safe these days. Gotta little questoin about magic story. Most of the time, planes feature important Artifacts of great power, that are relevant to the overarching story of magic, liker the Helvault, the Immortal Sun, the Planar Bridge, or the Chain Veil. May I request more important Enchantment (like Calix or The Great Aurora) for future magic stories?

You may.

Great Aurora Explanation

New • 26 Jul 2019 • Asked by papillon94 • 45 Comments

On the subject of Lorwyn/Shadowmoor and the Great Aurora, if I'm remembering correctly Oona was the one controlling the Aurora and making it happen every 300 years, but her control over it was broken at the end of the story. So if anyone complains "BUT YOU'RE BREAKING YOUR OWN RUUUUULES!" you've already covered your butt on that front, so go wild. ; )

Birthday Trivia

Mark, my birthday was on the fifth, can I have some trivia on cards like the great aurora or regal force?

Regal Force was created as part of our push to encourage monocolored decks in Shadowmoor block. Happy Belated Birthday!

Summon/Shuffle Gameplay

New • 15 Dec 2017 • Asked by anotherfandom • 20 Comments

Another quick unquestion, sorry. If I Summon the Pack and someone casts something like, The Great Aurora that shuffles it all in my deck, do I do so? They're nontokens, so they can't vanish, but I'll admit I don't usually have extra sleeves.

They shuffle in and do the best you can.

Mini-Blocks Possibility

New • 15 May 2016 • Asked by fuukaleaiactaest • 27 Comments

Is is possible for us to get two mini-blocks again if we ever go back to Lorwyn? With the Gatewatch being established, I'm now hoping for a Return to Shadowmoor/Nighttide (in which the Gatewatch somehow revert the Great Aurora) and then New Lorwyn/Sunrise mini-blocks.

Now, *every* year is two mini-blocks. : )

Supplemental Product Query

New • 21 Mar 2016 • Asked by shinike • 30 Comments

'"Can we get cards in supplemental products with previous story moments?" We already had at least one, The Great Aurora, in Magic Origins.' Probably someone has already pointed out, but Magic Origins is not a supplemental product.

Fair enough.

A fine point.

The Great Aurora

New • 01 Aug 2015 • Asked by manacharged • 22 Comments

Am I the only one who thinks The Great Aurora feels like a red card? Maybe R/G since it (technically) interacts with lands?

The card in a vacuum would probably be Red/Green, but we stretched a little because the overall flavor was so good.

Great Aurora Query

New • 08 Jul 2015 • Asked by tanknspank • 28 Comments

Hey Mark, was the Great Aurora in today's UR the same one as the one from the Lorwyn-Shadowmoor block?

There isn’t only one Great Aurora. I have no idea though if this is the same one as the Lorwyn block one. My guess is no but you’ll have to ask Doug.
