Hi mark I saw you respond to a request for future eldrazi sets so i wanted to make one too, if possible please bring back eldrazi processors they were awesome! we so rarely see cards that interact with exile and as more cast from exile etc mechanics get created id just love to see a viable effect like that again. Shout out to wasteland strangler in particular!

Processors weren’t super popular. What did you all think of them (from Battle for Zendikar).

Regarding snow basics not causing any balance issues - Arcum's Astrolabe had to be banned in both Modern and Legacy, as it made it too easy to have a manabase that could play any color of spell while not being vulnerable to cards like Blood Moon or Wasteland that traditionally punish "greedy" manabases.

I’m aware.

Hi Mark,
How many players ask for more stuff to be set on existing (or different) planes, but the stuff is different to what the hat of that plane is?
Like the wild wasteland/crime set could have been possibly retooled to fit on New Capenna outside the city.
I really enjoyed that Caverns expanded the world of Ixalan. I would also like to see one of the other continents/new locations on Innistrad, or Ixalan, or Arcavios, or some ancient ruins outside the (former) Hekma on Amonkhet.

We’re experimenting with new mechanical themes on old worlds. It worked well with The Lost Caverns of Ixalan and less well in Murders at Karlov Manor. We’ll do more.

With omenpaths being a thing could previously depopulated wasteland planes (maybe through Eldrazi attacks) be repopulated? Maybe similar to how Karn made Mirrodin but with a base instead of creating it out of this air made from metal?

It’s possible.

Was Dust Bowl also an attempt to fix Strip Mine after Wasteland? Or just an unrelated design that used some of the same elements?

No, it was another of my lovely “fixes”.

If/when: 1a) Wastes being added as a land type? 1b) adding the type to lands such as - Adarkar Wastes, Encroaching Wastes, Llanowar Wastes, and/or Wasteland?

If. I’m skeptical that will happen.

"I simply wouldn’t have made them. I think Magic would be better off overall if they were never part of the game. Same for the original dual lands. I think the game would be improved if there was more of a cost stretching into extra colors." Just responding to this, as in older formats, there is a very great cost for playing nonbasic lands - Wasteland. The very existence of a card like Wasteland changes games to be more fair and cautious on average, and generally increases diversity in gameplay.

The problem exists, so we’ve designed cards to help address it. That doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be better if the problem never happened in the first place.

I LOVE UNSANCTIONED! Especially Flavor Judge (aka Vorthos's UnCard) since I invented a Format like it during Onslaught! I felt that Remove Soul shouldn't counter Soulless One, Akroma's Vengeance shouldn't destroy her or Ixidor, Lay Waste shouldn't destroy Wasteland, etc. You can choose to play Flavor(or flip a coin)before any game. You all must agree on something making sense(Like Borborygmos wielding Chariot Of Victory as a fist weapon)or it happens normally. Try it, all my play groups love it!

Happy to hear that.

are there any cards that you designed by yourself that you regret making?

I’ve made my share of broken cards. Has Wasteland resulted in net positive fun in its existence? I’m not sure.
