Briarpack Alpha

Character Development Origins

Mark, in Odds and Ends: Eldritch Moon, Part 3 you said Hal and Alena were created by Kimberly Kreines for "Under the Silver Moon". But they're actually from the flavour text of a few Dark Ascension and Avacyn Restored cards such as Briarpack Alpha, Grim Flowering and Grounded. Does R&D look at the flavour text and story articles or books when returning to a world to see if there are characters worth fleshing out into cards? Were they considered too unimportant until Kreines used them?

Until Kimberly fleshed out the character, it was basically just a name attribution. So yes, technically she didn’t make the character but practically she did.
