Gatewatch Sets Trivia Request

Mark!I invoke the sacred rite of Borthday Trivia!Can I get trivia you haven't shared before about the gatewatch sets (BFZ-WAR) please?

Haven’t shared is tough as I produce a lot of content. I pitched an early version of the story where Jace appears to everyone, including the audience, to be killed by Bolas in Hour of Devastation. He then shows up with amnesia on Ixalan. The idea was the audience would assume Jace was dead for three months.Happy Birthday!

Character Naming Coincidence

Do you know if it was accidental or intentional that Loot is actually the second character in Magic with that name? The first was the main character in two short stories written by Michael A Stackpole, a planeswalker with amnesia (this was a loooong while ago, so he was an Oldwalker, technically).

My gut was it wasn’t intentional, but I had nothing to do with it, so I don’t definitively know.

Breaking Scales Possibility

Hi Mark,Out of the scales (Beebles, Storm, Venser, Rabiah) which is the most likely to be broken (need a new name).

Here’s my guess from most likely to least likely show up in a premier set: (note that doesn’t make any of them likely):Venser (because we occasionally go to the past)Beeble (R&D’s warmed up to Squirrels and Raccoons) Rabiah (if we ever do to the plane what we did to Kamigawa)Storm (play design could all get amnesia) One last note - I don’t plan to change the scale names if any of the above happens.

Blue Discard Cards Examples

Dear Mark Note Blue has Amnesia, Dismal Failure, Forget Minamos Meddling, Piracy Charm, (my favorite)Probe with Kicker, Riptide Pilferer. Venarian Glimmer potentially Apathy, Coral Net, Mind Bomb and Trapfinder's Trick are all examples of Blue Discard so, no Black does not have a monopoly on Discard.

You can do the same with non-blue counterspells. Note both lists lean pretty heavily on early Magic.
