Design Space for 13

New 25 Oct 2015 Asked by pijytfdea-deactivated20180308 46 Comments

I really adore cards that deal with the number 13 (Tragic Slip, Archive Trap, Blasphemous Act, Shivan Meteor, etc). Is there still design space for them, or has it been dried up?


There’s a little but not tons. Note that it was a theme we did because of the horror theme of Innistrad.

Archive Trap's Number Choice

New 04 May 2013 Asked by veenilla 10 Comments

Any insights as to why Archive Trap mills 13 cards? It seems like such an arbitrary number, especially in Zendikar.


It was us warming up to the 13 theme that was to come in Innistrad. : ) My guess was the number felt like “bad luck”.
