Hi Mark, yesterday was my birthday! For my birthday trivia, do you have anything about Vorel of the Hulk Clade, one of my favorite commanders at the moment?

Vorel of the Hull Clade was me indulging my love of doubling things. In particular, it’s very synergistic with the Simic Guild. Happy Birthday!

Guild Legendary Creatures

"I'd suggest making "creature type exceptions" for the guilds legendary creatures - a simic centaur, for example, who left the Gruul to seek bigger sizes and greater power, or something - legendary status makes it clear that this is Remarkable" been there, done that, just backwards and not with a centaur- Vorel of the Hull Clade is a human who left the Gruul, and the Simic aren't a human-major guild.

I think people don’t respect the power of absence enough. Everybody doing everything a little is far less cool than things being exclusive to certain groups.

Human Typing Exceptions

About the human typing, is Vorel of the Hull Clade an exception?

There are exceptions. I was just pointing out that we tend to gloss over Human when other things are mixed in. Zombie Humans are usually just Zombies for instance.

Simic Typing Oversight

"You only get the Human creature type of you're 100% human and alive." You just made Vorel of the Hull Clade and the other Simic sad.

Ooh, I forgot experiments. You’re right.

Atraxa Deck Victory

New • 17 Nov 2016 • Asked by nevofthewilds • 75 Comments

MARO! I DID IT! 2 hours into an (super fun) yet drawn out game of commander I (with my Atraxa deck): played Corpsejack Menace, doubled the 8 counters on Kalonian Hydra with Vorel of the Hull Clade (8+16=32), then Deepglow Skated it (32+64=96), then attacked (96+192=) for 288 points of damage for the win!!! Double bubble toil and trample, I love Magic :-)

Card Effect Wording

New • 07 Mar 2014 • Asked by thesnacken • 12 Comments

Was there a reasoning to the difference in wording between Vorel of the Hull Clade's effect and Proliferate?

One targets and doubles a subset of permanent types. The other adds one to all card types and players. They’re worded different because they’re pretty different.

Autograph Request Process

New • 21 Feb 2014 • Asked by verumnihil • 32 Comments

I was wondering where I would find the address to send cards to sign was because I didn't see it in the notes or anywhere. I want to get a single doubling season signed because it is my favourite green card and inspired me to make a vorel of the hull clade edh deck. Also, have you been involved with any other counter/token propagation cards?

The address is: Mark Rosewater
c/o Wizards of the Coast
1600 Lind Ave. SW
Renton, WA 98057 I have been responsible for many, many (many) token making cards. If you send stuff in to get signed, please include a self-addressed stamped envelope. Required trivia question for everyone else: What was the only Standard legal set where the lead designer and the lead developer were the same person?

Excluding Planeswalkers

New • 09 Apr 2013 • Asked by l2i0n0k7 • 9 Comments

Okay, I don't like to be "that guy" that complains about things the minute they're spoiled, and thus far, I haven't been. But why couldn't Vorel of the Hull Clade say "permanents" instead of "artifact, creature, or land?"

Because we didn’t want it affecting planeswalkers.
