May I request more centaur typal support?


You may.

Centaurs' Color Logic

New 04 Aug 2023 Asked by fantasticterrarium 61 Comments

Do you know why they choose centaurs to be primarily green? Horses don't tend to live in forest so it feels like a weird pick. Wouldn't plains or mountains have made more sense?


While Horses don’t live in the forest Centaurs often do.

Diverse Centaurs

New 06 Jul 2023 Asked by themartiangeek 63 Comments

Could we see more centaurs with their lower half something other than a horse? A zebra would be cool, or a giraffe or deer. Maybe even a non-hooved animal like a big cat.


It’s possible.

Quadrupedal Intelligence Rarity

New 13 Jun 2023 Asked by j-waffles 69 Comments

Is there a reason we don’t see any quadrupedal intelligent species? Every sentient race we’ve seen in magic are Humanoid. The only exceptions are SOME dragons, and the intelligent dragons we see are almost always depicted standing bipedally. What gives?


I assume it has something to do with the bipedal-ness of the audience. I should note that we have seen sentient races (like Sphinxes and Centaurs) that aren’t bipedal.

Die Rolling Mechanic

New 24 Feb 2023 Asked by itsdavid 22 Comments

Your dice rolling episode couldn't have had better timing! I just finished building a Vrondiss Dice Rolling deck for EDH. My Question:When dice rolling makes it's return outside of Un-Sets, will it be able to support "storing" the dice (a la Centaur of Attention) for additional effects?I know Centaur of Attention is eternal legal, but that doesn't necessarily mean the mechanic will be found in a more traditional set in that exact state. Thanks in advance for the answer!
If you feel like answering this part:What new ways would you like stored dice to be used?


A set with die rolling will have access to die storing. It depends how the set is using its die rolling.

Future Sight Challenges

New 19 Jan 2023 Asked by admiralsmash-blog 44 Comments

A lot of Future Sight "throw-forward" cards end up having sets where they *almost* work, but not quite (no centaurs on Kaldheim, poisonous being a trigger isn't ideal with digital, etc) and people end up dissatisfied that it wasn't used. In retrospect, do you think Future Sight could have done anything differently to avoid this?


There’s no way to actually know the future.

Alliteration Rule

New 24 Sep 2022 Asked by inferno390 28 Comments

Regarding Treacherous Trapezist, the definition of alliterative don't fully match the definition of alliteration, which is based on sound, not letter. So "Centaur Courser" is alliterative but doesn't actually have alliteration, but "Kiddie Coaster" isn't an alliterative permanent even though the name does have alliteration. What was the reason for that change? An issue of language compatibility? Was referring to the sound of a word too complex? Or something else?


We chose to prioritize something that was easy to monitor over perfectly matching the English definition. There is one spell in the set that is alliterative by the English defintion, but not by the Treacherous Trapezist.

Preferred Batch Preferences

New 04 Apr 2022 Asked by dlhochy 78 Comments

I know it's a big one, but my preferred batch would be Centaur, Ally, Fractal, Mystic, Yeti, Owl, Octopus, even though the sound of it is something quite precocious.

Request for Centaur Lord

New 28 Feb 2022 Asked by thatguyovertherewiththething 36 Comments

Can I request a Centaur Lord? Loads of them in Magic but barely, if any, care about the tribe.


I can stick it on the short list.

Combination Creature Creation

New 16 Dec 2021 Asked by girathon 34 Comments

"My issue is that to become a creature which is a combination of two different creatures, you can’t just sew two parts together." Host/Augment would seem to disagree :)


A Ninja Pony is not the same thing as a Centaur. Host/Augment is on my side of the argument.

Opinion on Grusilda's Centaurs

New 16 Dec 2021 Asked by minoke5618 23 Comments

Grusilda disagrees with your assessment of the creation of centaurs.


They are centauresque.

Centaur Origin Question

New 15 Dec 2021 Asked by deyuil 55 Comments

How was there a first centaur if you need two centaurs to make a centaur? Or has there just always been two centaurs, from the beginning? It's like a chicken or the egg question.


The philosophers continue to argue. My issue is that to become a creature which is a combination of two different creatures, you can’t just sew two parts together.

Humor on Centaur Creation

New 15 Dec 2021 Asked by ned-of-the-net 109 Comments

Sewing a man to a horse does make a centaur!


If a mommy centaur and a daddy centaur aren’t involved, it’s not a centaur. : )

Cobbled Lancer's Typing

New 13 Dec 2021 Asked by spyrohawk 80 Comments

I know they don't really fit the plane, but is there a reason Cobbled Lancer was not typed as a centaur? It would have been a cool way to show how familiar things can come out in different forms on different planes.


Sewing a man to a horse does not make a Centaur.

Possibility of Centaur Planeswalker

New 29 Nov 2021 Asked by viridianvanguard 39 Comments

Hi there, first time questioner. I wanted to know if it's possible and/or how likely we might ever get a centaur planeswalker? If one already exists and I'm just not aware then I'm happy to learn.


I think it’s the kind of thing that would happen with time.

Issues with Future-shifting

New 22 Mar 2021 Asked by admiralsmash-blog 49 Comments

You've had a lot of trouble printing future-shifted cards into sets where they seem like they belong because they don't line up with Creative: Tombstalker doesn't fit the delve set because at the time Creative said no demons, Ghostfire doesn't fit the Devoid set because Ghostfire is Ugin-themed, Centaur Omenreader doesn't fit Kalhdeim because Creative said no centaurs... looking back, is there anything about future-shifting you wish you'd done differently?


Designing cards for potential futures is just very difficult. There’s not really an easy answer even with hindsight.

Centaur Omenreader in Kaldheim

New 22 Jan 2021 Asked by pantswithoutlegholes 35 Comments

do you know if centaur omenreader was ever in the file for kaldheim? the word "omen" and the snow creature type make it seem like a perfect fit. i realize that centaurs aren't big in norse mythology but i'm pretty sure neither are pegasi, and there is definitely a pegasus in the set.


I don’t think there are Centaurs in Kaldheim (as they are part of Greek mythology and not Norse mythology).

Reprint of Centaur Omenreader

New 16 Jan 2021 Asked by himynameisdavidwhatsup-blog 28 Comments

Was Centaur Omenreader considered for a reprint in Kaldheim? If an omen reading snow creature isn't here, what are the odds it ever is? I love seeing future shifted cards get reprints.


I’m not sure there are Centaurs in Kaldheim.

Horse-Human and Centaur Classification

New 15 Dec 2020 Asked by getoutofthistownpod 44 Comments

Would a creature with a horse head and human lower body in magic be typed as a Horse Human or as a Centaur


A Horse humanoid would be a Horse much as a Leonin is a Cat.
