Underworld Dreams Trivia

Good morning Mark,Today is my birthday! Could you provide me with some trivia on my favorite pet card Underworld Dreams? I know the original card features Dante and Virgil somewhere in the hell of Dante's inferno.Much appreciated.

Underworld Dreams got banned in early Magic because there was so much card drawing. We later learned we could reprint it because the card drawing had been lowered and the effect wasn’t as problematic. Happy Birthday!

Divine Intervention and Tournament Issues

Divine Intervention was only banned from August 1994 till October 1999. Same time frame as Mirror Universe and Underworld Dreams, one of which was recently reprinted in Standard the other that while not able to be reprinted has had similar effects printed. There were some real special cards on that list like Ali from Cairo, Sword of the Ages and Dingus Egg. So saying a card was banned as one point in time is really not a relevant argument for it being unfun.

I didn’t say it was unfun. I said it caused problems in tournaments. That said, I do believe drawing games is not particularly fun. That just wasn’t what I argued.

Underworld Dreams Reprint

Wow underworld dreams was a reprint? Well done. Fits so well that was a surprise. Love it when that happens.

It’s not just a reprint, but an *old* reprint. It was originally in Legends, released in the summer of 1994. It was also once on the banned and restricted list.

Underworld Dreams Reprint

I don’t know if it has been said already, but thanks for the Underworld Dreams reprint. That’s a really cool card and I’m glad it’s more accessible now. Also a great fit for THB. Was it ever in the file for original Theros block?

No, but we specifically didn’t do a lot with the underworld.

Underworld Dreams Surprise

Why would "nobody see [Underworld Dreams] coming" in Magic 2010? It had been printed in 8th edition, 9th edition, and 10th edition (the three immediately-preceding core sets).

Oops. I meant in 8th Edition. The first time we brought it back.

Favorite Card Trivia

Tomorrow is my birthday, and i was wondering if I could get any trivia on either Underworld Dreams, or my favorite Lorwyn giants Boldwyr Heavyweights.

One of my favorite things to do is reprint a card that no one sees coming. I remember on Magic 2010, talking about whether we could reprint Underworld Dreams as it had been problematic in the past. But we got the go ahead from development and I was quite giddy. Happy Birthday!
