Request for More Hybrid Dragons

I'd like to request some more dragons that are crossed with other fantasy creatures. My top 3: Dragon Unicorn, Dragon Lammasu, Dragon Phelddagrif. Thanks!

We’ve been making more Dragons that are also other creature types over the last few years, so I think more will happen.

Grey Ogre Linguistics

In your view, why are 3-mana 2/2s Grey Ogres and not Pearled Unicorns or Scathe Zombies?

Ah, the power of language. Use terminology for a while and it just becomes vocabulary. My guess is it was the shortest of the three.

Unicorn Strength Constraints

Hi Mark, thank you for taking the time to run this blog! Today's my birthday so may I ask for trivia on one of my favorite legendary creatures, Lathiel the Bounteous Dawn, or unicorns in general?

There was a time in the early days where the brand team asked us to not make strong unicorns because it fought the “bad-ass” quality they wanted the game to have. Happy Birthday!

Culprit Unicorn Speculation

I know the puzzle hasn't started yet, but I swear if the unicorn turns out to be a culprit, I will cry.

No comment.

Unicorns and Pegasuses

When will unicorn and Pegasus cards get horsemanship like they rightfully deserve?

I think they are more likely to get batched with Horses than anything else.

Horse Subtype Addition

With Naga now getting subtype Snake on a scale of 1 (Never going to happen) to 10 (happening soon) when are pegasus & unicorns getting subtype horse?

I don’t have a scale for possible creature variations. I don’t think it’s currently super likely.

Unicorn Pegasus Type

If there were ever to be a creature that is flavorfully a unicorn and a pegasus, would it get typed as an Alicorn or just be a Pegasus Unicorn?

Most likely the latter.

Reprinting Policies

Are cards originally printed in supplemental sets like Modern Horizons or Commander sets strictly off limits for reprinting in Standard-legal sets? (Assuming the power-level/mechanics/flavor are all correct)
There's some lower powered cards from Modern Horizons (like Prophetic Titan, Good-Fortune Unicorn, King of the Pride) that aren't quite good enough for Constructed Modern, but I would love to play in Standard and/or Pioneer.

They’re not off limits (again, provided they fit the constraints of the set, which includes power level).

Unicorn Tribal Potential

Hi Mark! Apologies if this has already been asked before, but what's the possibility of Unicorn tribal becoming a thing?

It’s a possibility.

Kindred / Typal Unicorn

Creature Type Errata

Could we get errata to change all unicorns and pegasus to horse? Or add the horse type in addition to their types?

There is no current plan to do that.

Tribal Deck Potential

Will pegasi, unicorns, and horses ever get some batching cards to make a functional tribal deck?

I assume it will.

Creature Type Errata Bar

With Shadowfax, Lord of Horses, have you thought about errata typing unicorns & pegasi to be "Creature - Horse (Unicorn/Pegasus)" To allow for more viability of a pony tribal?

The topic has come up, but we have a high bar for errata-ing creature types.

May I request a Shark Unicorn?

You may.

Token Station Concept

Seeing a lot of J22 token questions. I maintain the stance that a Token Station, in the same vein as a Land Station, would be a strongly appreciated product and a perfect way to address missing tokens like Bananas and 2/2 Unicorns.

Everyone needs the same five basic lands. I’m not sure there’s enough audience for a token station.

Requested Tribal Batches

With the absolute home run of ninja/rogue, samurai/warrior, and even cards like "Runo stromkirk/ Krothuss, lord of the deep", may I request the following batch tribals:Naga,snake, serpentOx, minotaur, goatSquirrel, rat, raccoon Horse, unicorn, pegasus Goblin, kobold, gremlinFrog, turtle, lizard

Any other creature type batching suggestions?

Request for Zombie Unicorn

May I request a Zombie Unicorn?

You may.

Unicorn Support in Commander

May I request a Bant Unicorn commander that actually cares about unicorns (and Pegasi and horses too, that would be awesome), and also blinking things? Also, just more unicorn support in general would be cool. The new shapeshifters definitely help though, so thank you for that.

It seems like you have the desire for a very specific card. : )

Unicorns and Pegasus as Horses

Is there a precedence for making Unicorns and Pegasus creatures count as horses? This is still riding the change of the Hound/Dog ruling. Mainly because the amount of Horses, Pegasus, and Unicorns combined is still collectively under 80 in total. Just thought this would be an interesting thing to point out as Unicorns and Pegasus are basically horses, but with a horn or wings. What is your take on this and other subtypes that could use revision?

How much does a legendary creature that mechanically cares about all three solve?

Hound Rule Change Inquiry

So, I was wondering: If since there was a need for the ruling of the hound rules change into counting as dogs, does this mean there is a sufficient understanding to make a precedence for things like Unicorns / Pegasus / any other horse related sub-creature type to count as horses? I ask because the game only has 37 creatures that have the type horse. This restriction makes cards like Crested Sunmare very limited in playability and synergy creation. I feel after hounds, this is relevant. Thanks!

All we did with dogs was change the word “hound” to the word “dog”. The subset of canines didn’t get any bigger. It’s not a parallel situation.

Jumpstart Box Variety

Hi, Mark. I just got my Jumpstart box! While I got some incredible pulls (2 Teferi, 1 Liliana and 1 Unicorn, among other packs I wanted) I got a single red-themed booster. I was expecting more variety, in the same line the common cards of a booster pack. Is it possible to control the as-fan of booster packs in a box?

I’m not sure we have the technology to do that. To the best of my knowledge, we can’t collate packs like we do cards.
