Is Urza still a 9 on the Venser Scale?

I’d call him an 8 now.

Venser Scale Name

New • 14 May 2024 • Asked by leliisabunny • 14 Comments

Have you given any thought to renaming the Venser Scale the Jaya Scale, now that we've seen Venser as a card again (albeit not a planeswalker)

I’ve decided I’m not renaming scales. 10’s can happen (as evidenced by dice rolling).

Grist's Venser Scale

New • 19 Aug 2023 • Asked by mythial-blog • 43 Comments

Hi Mark. Could we get a Venser Scale rating for Grist? I'm crossing my fingers we might see her in Bloomburrow.

I’d give Grist a 6, provided she still has her spark.

Planeswalker Reappearance Odds

New • 12 Aug 2023 • Asked by jericuboritox • 44 Comments

I assume a planeswalker losing their spark means they're not covered by the Venser Scale anymore, but with Omenpaths still allowing interplanar travel, would you put a character's likelihood to reappear in a future set equal to their former Venser Scale rating?

No.

Future of Insect Cards

New • 11 Aug 2023 • Asked by mythial-blog • 30 Comments

Hi Mark, I'm a big fan of Insects as a creature type have been getting the last 2 years. So I have a pair of bug themed question questions regarding the future of magic:1. Can we get a Venser Scale rating for the Planeswalker Grist? She's my favourite! 2. During the GenCon Panel, it was mentioned that the animals will play center role with, down to the Squirrels, Rabbits and Birds. Are Insects included under this umbrella? Or are they still just silly little guys?

I wasn’t specifically referring to Insects, but we are making more of them in the upcoming years.

Basri Trivia

New • 25 May 2023 • Asked by jillescas87 • 39 Comments

Happy birthday Mark! As every year I get the honor of asking my own birthday trivia on the same day as you!I wanted to know more about my broh Basri. Can you give us a trivia about him and maybe even his position in the Venser's scale?

I believe Basri came about because all the other monowhite planeswalkers either couldn’t be used for story reasons (things like being dead, or trapped in the underworld) or having been in recent sets. The creative team came up with this cool idea for a character from Amonkhet. With all the desparking, the Venser Scale is in a weird place, so it’s tricky to use right now. Happy Birthday! Glad we share birthdays.

You go up quite a bit.

Planeswalkers & Omenpaths

New • 03 May 2023 • Asked by arachnigamer-blog • 50 Comments

Since anyone who can find an Omenpath can travel between planes should there be a new scale for legendary creatures showing up in a standard set?
Also how does most planeswalkers being desparked affect the Venser scale?

It’s a hard thing to make a scale out of. Characters will show up where the fit flavorfully, thematically, and mechanically.The Venser Scale will be for planeswalker versions of the characters, so desparked planeswalkers will definitely go up on the scale. : )

Estrid Trivia Birthday

New • 13 Mar 2023 • Asked by bdiasf • 31 Comments

Hey, Mark! It's my birthday! Yaaay! Can you tell me some very obscure trivia about Estrid and if she's still a 7 on the Venser scale? Or maybe some obscure trivia about GWU themes on sets. Thanks for beeing awesome and teaching us so much!

The card was designed first, and Estrid was designed top-down to match her mechanics. Happy Birthday!

Hello Mark! Can you tell us where Oko is on the Venser scale ? Sorry to ask you again but I think my question was burried under many other. Wish you a nice day!

Oko is a 4. I think we’ll see him again.

Planeswalker Rating Scale

New • 26 Feb 2023 • Asked by mjschooley • 53 Comments

If you were to make a scale for Planeswalkers a la the Rabiah and Storm Scales, what would you call it? I'd call it the "Taysir Scale," myself.

It’s called the Venser Scale.

Venser Scale Renaming

New • 05 Feb 2023 • Asked by calagar40000 • 56 Comments

Do we need to rename the Venser scale now that he’s appearing in a new standard-legal set?

The Venser scale is about planeswalkers. When he appears in a Standard-legal set as a planeswalker card, I’ll change the name of the scale.

Nicol Bolas Future

New • 24 Dec 2022 • Asked by bicolnolas • 45 Comments

Hello Mark! Is Nicol Bolas (also known as the nameless one) entry on the Venser scale still up to date? Last entry made him a 3 or would you say his position shifted. Where would you put him now?

I’m confident we’ll see Nicol Bolas again, but most likely not as a planeswalker (due to the events of the Bolas Saga), so yes that raises his Venser Scale rating. I’ll call him a 9 (not 10 because he’s so sneaky).

Venser Scale Explanation

New • 21 Dec 2022 • Asked by snoozyrobin • 44 Comments

Hey Mark, I just did a report for a business class on Magic the Gathering, and after looking into the Storm and Rabiah scales I was wondering if Legendary Creatures and/or Planeswalkers had something akin to that, like how we've seen Anje and Edward jump from Commander Precons to Crimson Vow while Jeleva from the 2013 Precons didn't.

The Venser Scale is for planeswalkers.

Wrenn Trivia Shared

New • 15 Dec 2022 • Asked by krogania • 48 Comments

Hey Maro for my birthday trivia I was wondering about any fun facts for Wrenn (or her treefolk).And after she first came out she was a 6 on the venser scale, would you now say she's a 7? :P

Wrenn was originally created in a brainstorming of making planeswalkers that we’re more untraditional. We liked her so much, we stuck her in Modern Horizons. I think Wrenn dropped to a 5, so it’s not tree related.Happy Birthday!

Do we need to revision the Venser scale now? Should it be the Gideon Scale?

The Venser Scale measures the likelihood of a character getting printed as a planeswalker in a future premier set. If Venser ever shows up as a planeswalker in a premier set, I’ll change the name of the scale. : )

This is the first I’m hearing of the Venser scale; is it in relation to the reappearances of characters in story, on cards, and/or both?

It’s about particular planeswalkers showing up as a planeswalker card in a premier set.
