Zombie Apocalypse

Zombie Apocalypse Query

New 21 Nov 2023 Asked by krinstranger 26 Comments

Wasn't Zombie Apocalypse basically the resolution of Eldritch Moon's story? Haven't you done it already, just from the zombie master's POV?


Part of a traditional Zombie Apocalypse setting is the apocalypse part. Zombies have destroyed the society and only a small handful of non-Zombies remain.

Zombie Dance Card

In the hypothetical zombie apocalypse set, what are the chances we get a card that represents a giant synchronized zombie dance?


An enchantment called Thriller? : )

Future Zombie Theme

New 20 Nov 2023 Asked by tescrin 38 Comments

"Zombie feels like a when," - I think Amonkhet was your Zombie set -> every color had access to zombies via Embalm and Eternalize; with most being White/Green/Blue (and black of course having normal zombies.)


Zombie Apocalypse seems such a staple of pop culture, that I assume one day we’ll do our spin on it.

Zombie Apocalypse Setting

New 24 Dec 2022 Asked by doopboopdoop 52 Comments

Do you feel players would assume zombie apocalypse world would be set on Innistrad?


I imagine it would be a stylized world where the zombies would be of a lot more things than just humans.

Zombie Types Discussion

New 24 Dec 2022 Asked by fehtc 54 Comments

Zombies are a big part of pop culture and i see two mainstream storylines that explain them: the dead people reanimated, and the people infected by some sort of virus.In mtg, the tribe is very well established both mechanically and flavorwise as the first type. Is there space to explore zombies in the second type? Or is this a fungus niche?


We’ve talked about a zombie apocalypse world, which would probably be the latter.

Zombie Apocalypse Plane

New 01 Nov 2022 Asked by trifas 30 Comments

Do you think a zombie apocalypse set should take place on Innistrad or on a different plane?


Probably a different plane.

Blame for a Zombie Apocalypse

New 19 Nov 2021 Asked by dlhochy 25 Comments

You're going to make the zombie apocalypse difficult! "I hear a lot of groaning sounds! Are they coming, or did MaRo post another TftP put?!"


I’m sure if there’s a Zombie apocalypse, I’ll get blamed for it. : )

Magic's Future

New 04 Mar 2017 Asked by willstimson-blog 27 Comments

What do you think (barring nuclear warfare or the zombie apocalypse) the life span of Magic is? 10 years? 20? Always wondered what R&D thinks about that. Also, big fan! Would love to work at WOTC some day and I appreciate everything you do for this game i love!


I fully expect Magic to outlive me. And I’m planning to live a long time.

Hershel's Color Identity

New 20 Aug 2015 Asked by ahzoh 20 Comments

I've never been able to find a realistic pop culture character that I felt really embodied the green philosophy, but now, on season 2 of the walking dead, I've met Hershel, and he strikes me as mono-green in every aspect. He works on a farm, is a man of medicine, he sees the zombie apocalypse as nature's way of restoring balance, and he has not desire to change their current arrangements. Based on these facts, is him being mono-green a fair assumption?


I’d argue he’s Green/White.

Zombie Apocalypse vs Angel

New 05 Jun 2015 Asked by frogmite 23 Comments

Given Zombie Apocalypse is your favorite card from Dark Ascension, what are your thoughts on Angel of Glory's Rise (aka Angel of Zombie Anti-Apocalypse)?


We’ll find out when I do my “Avacyn Restored” podcasts. (Already recorded.) : )

Hypothetical Banana Scenario

Mark if you had the choice to eat a banana to save the world from the zombie apocalypse would you do it?


Let’s just hope it never comes to that.

Zombie Deck Choices

New 13 Feb 2012 Asked by ketermuls 2 Comments

I have a choice between Zombie apocolypse and Army of the damned in my zombie deck. Which one should I choose?


It depends on what your deck does. Army of the Damned is a stronger card powerwise but Zombie Apocalypse is, well called Zombie Apocalypse so it wins on the flavor front. I found room for both in my zombie deck.

Gratitude and DKA Names

New 27 Jan 2012 Asked by byop-blog-blog 11 Comments

Hey Mark, just wanted to thank you for still taking answering people, when most of the questions you get asked are asked by people who clearly don't know what your job at WotC is. I also wanted to thank you for the great sets you've been producing recently (Innistrad - best draft format ever?). So yeah, thanks. Since I'm here, what was your favourite playtest name from DKA?


Zombie Apocalypse. I’m really excited it actually made it to print. Most of my design name favorites don’t do that.

Zombie Apocalypse Inspiration

New 10 Jan 2012 Asked by ghostdaddotcx-deactivated201212 5 Comments

Did Zombie Apocalypse have a top-down origin based in how fun it would be to say "Destroy all humans?"


There’s a story coming up in my column in a few weeks about this card’s design. It involves a design card called Kill All Humans.
