Possibility of Return to Chronicles

New 27 Jul 2024 Asked by godkingjinping 3 Comments

Do you anticipate a return to Chronicles?


Chronicles was a product that printed black border cards that hadn’t been printed in black border in that native language (back when first printings were black border and reprints were white border). I don’t know how to return to that.

Green's Monopoly on Ramp

New 24 Jul 2024 Asked by wk-vylion 6 Comments

I was just talking with a friend about how card draw, despite being "Blue's thing", all colors need it because having cards in hand is a resource that all decks need, and thus Blue card draw is the only unconditional one, but every color has been getting some form of conditional card draw that ties it to its color philosophies.This begs the question, why does Green have such a monopoly on ramp? Can't the same thing be done for that? The closest thing is White's catch up mechanics


All colors get the ability to fetch their own basic land type. Red has some ramp, but more one-shot than repeatable. And white does some catch-up ramp. In addition, we make a bunch of colorless cards that can help.

Blue Removal Effects

New 24 Jul 2024 Asked by khordreblogs 5 Comments

May I ask for an update on the state of blue removal effects like Ravenform?


Blue no longer destroys/exiles creatures and gives the opponent a creature token. That’s solely a white thing. Blue can temporarily change the stats on a creature or enchant it changing the creature as long as it’s enchanted.

Black Angels vs White Demons

New 23 Jul 2024 Asked by dissociativehusky 7 Comments

Wizards has introduced almost 30 black angels, even though they're usually described as manifestations of white mana. I don't have a problem with this except yall have only made 5 white demons, 3 of which are from New Capenna! Any thoughts on why, and can I get a maybe on more white angels in the future?


I can promise more white Angels.

White Cards With Flying Ability

New 22 Jul 2024 Asked by blorpityblorpboop 3 Comments

Bloomburrow birds made me think if from now on White will have more cards with "Give flying to a creature without flying"


We’ll have to see how that theme goes over.

Dividing Set Themes in Drafts

New 21 Jul 2024 Asked by zackdes44 4 Comments

When/if: a single set split into two draftable packs. There is some overlap (land cycles, equipment, colorless artifacts, etc) but one pack is Team X (Bolas let's say) which is 3 different archetypes in his colors and the other packs are Team Y (Ugin let's say) which are 3 archetypes in colorless, white, black. All the cards together make a single set, but you would draft Ugin packs with Ugin packs, and then only play against players who drafted Bolas packs.


We did this in Mirrodin Besieged. The set was split in Mirran and Phyrexian, and you chose which side to play when you played in the prerelease.

Color Pie Break/Bend

New 19 Jul 2024 Asked by quantext 3 Comments

Would Finest Hour be considered a color pie break/bend today?


I think white is secondary in extra combat steps, but we do the effect so infrequently that’s it’s tough for secondary to get many cards.

Animal Colors Representation

New 19 Jul 2024 Asked by blind42-blog 9 Comments

On the topic of animal colors, why do we keep getting creatures of the night in Gruul colors? Most recently we had werewolves and raccoons show up in RG. Which one of these colors is supposed to be resonating with their affinity amongst the darkness? Red? Because it's closest to black? I feel like it's having a plant show up in Blue/White


Nocturnal animals don’t have to show up in black. Raccoons got red for their trickster nature.

Squirrels Color Associations

New 19 Jul 2024 Asked by gridnack 3 Comments

Black green squirrels work for Bloomburrow but I feel like squirrels could also lean white green for the community aspects.


We have made one white Squirrel, but I’m not sure how communal Squirrels are.

Battle Removal Colors

New 18 Jul 2024 Asked by elderaktis 10 Comments

"Which color(s) are the main one(s) for battle removal?Red and white usually have slightly more “combat tricks”. Green also always has a Giant Growth like effect that’s good in combat."I think this ask was about removing battles (the card type).


Red has direct damage, which removes battles. We haven’t chosen a color to destroy them.

Red and Game Restrictions

New 16 Jul 2024 Asked by szwanger 2 Comments

Since white likes to make restrictions such as "cast only one spell per turn," is there any design space in red for the ability to ignore such restrictions?


Breaking rules set up to protect game balance is risky.

If. Vampires are so core black, it’s hard to imagine a color combination without black.

Al-Ghuls' Color Alignment

New 15 Jul 2024 Asked by gloryofdawn 7 Comments

My friend and I can't figure out why you think the Al-Ghuls are Black/Green instead of Black/White. Can you elaborate?


They are very much about controlling the natural order of the world. I will say their third color is white.

Spiderman's Colors and Marvel Partnership

New 13 Jul 2024 Asked by winteristhebestship 8 Comments

What colors would Spiderman be? I'm curious. (Also please convince Disney to do a Marvel UB 🙏)


I think base Spider-Man is green/white with some blue. Also, I have some good news for you. We’ve already announced a multi-set Universes Beyond partnership with Marvel.

Color Coding in UB Cards

New 13 Jul 2024 Asked by theadonalsium 12 Comments

How much does in-universe coloring affect design of UB cards? For example, someone like Green Lantern is likely red or white due to their determination and willpower. However, their in-universe theme is very green, for obvious reasons. How do you reconcile these differences?


Green Lantern is a bad example. The character *is* green/white. (Willpower is green, not red, plus the ring chooses you.) Spider-man is a better example. He’s not blue/red. Characters in Universes Beyond don’t have to match the color of their outfit.
