Thopter Foundry

Speaking Mana Costs

How does R&D say hybrid costs when speaking mana costs? Especially the weirder ones like the Mutate ability on the Apexes from Ikoria and things like Thopter Foundry from Alara? What about twobrid like Beseech the Queen and Reaper King?

Let’s say a cost is 2(b/r), we’d say “two hybrid - black/red”. If a card was 2(2/w), we’d say “two hybrid - two/white”’

Hybrid Mana Complexity

Hey Mark! I'm really glad to see so much hybrid in last sets, but can't help to think that it only looks so elegant when hybrid is the only colored mana in mana cost. What is the current Storm Scale rating of mana costs (A/B) (D), like we could see on Alara? (i.e. Thopter Foundry)

I’d call it a 9. Unlikely. It confuses too many players.

Hybrid Mana Pairing

By different hybrid mana, do you mean Thopter Foundry and friends, or something else?

No, I meant two different hybrid mana next to each other. For instance (red/green) next to (green/blue).
