The Unspeakable

Trample on Mono-blue Card

New • 07 Feb 2022 • Asked by grumgully • 84 Comments

I noticed that Behold the Unspeakable//Vision of the Unspeakable is the first card with a mono-blue color identity to have ever been printed with Trample. Seems like a big color pie break to me, so what's up with that? I can't stop thinking about why it was decided to print trample on a mono-blue card, so I hoped you could enlighten me a bit!

It’s the *seventeenth* card of a monoblue color identity to be printed with trample. Trample is tertiary in blue.

Naming Monstrous Entities

New • 17 Jun 2017 • Asked by abelzumi • 200 Comments

With "The Scorpion God," "The Gitrog Monster," and previous cards like "The Unspeakable" and "The Mimeoplasm," will we see a trend going forwards of cards that use this naming convention for an alien or monstrous purpose?

The Yes.

Constructed Card Tuning

Most cards that reference other cards are made almost solely for limited (with the exception of Kaldra, The Unspeakable, and Spirit of the Night). Why aren't these cards tuned more for Constructed, where the likelyhoodof having the pieces is higher?

Constructed players really isn’t the target audience for most of these kinds of cards.

Card Summoning Mechanics

New • 07 Oct 2012 • Asked by veloxiraptor • 10 Comments

How likely are we to see more cards that are specifically called out/summoned by other cards? Like Spirit of the Night, or the Kaldra equipment, or The Unspeakable, or even the mythic cycle from Shards of Alara. I like that feeling of "assembling the pieces."

We do them every once in a while. It’s not something we consciously decided to stop.
