Value in Weak Cards

"“Bad cards” are really “cards aimed at someone other than me”." - Counterpoint - Wood Elemental

I’ve known four different people (one of them being me) who built a Wood Elemental deck because we all wanted the challenge of winning with one. I don’t believe we should necessarily make purposefully horrible creatures all that often, but my point is there’s even an audience who has fun with truly weak cards.

Fungus Elemental Trivia

Happy holidays Mark! It's my birthday today and if possible I would love some trivia on one of my favourite cards of all time, Weatherlight's Fungus Elemental, please!

Fungus Elemental was a redesign of the card Wood Elemental from Legends. I believe the design name was Woodier Elemental. Happy Birthday!

Mana Costs Frequency

"We very infrequently make mana costs with more than three of the same mana symbol." Specifically, 24 times, not including Un-cards. Almost all of those were four of the same symbol; the only exceptions are Rushwood Elemental (GGG GG), Primalcrux (GGG GGG), and Khalni Hydra (GGG GGG GG).

Judging Morph and Manifest

Was the judges need to make calls in an environment with both Whisperwood Elemental and creatures with morph taken under consideration during development?

It was. Pretty extensively actually. In the end, we decided the game play of manifest was worth the impact it was going to have on organized play.

Burn Spells Logic

Why don't more burn spells say Non-Elemental creature?

Because elementals in Magic are of many different elements. Sure a Fire Elemental should laugh off a Fireball but a Wood Elemental shouldn’t.
