Red vs Blue Traits

New 17 Apr 2018 Asked by keith-cancel 45 Comments

I find interesting you say red and blue have the least mechanical overlap. Both like to mess with the stack, both like spells, both like to use artifacts. Blue has card draw, red has impulsive draw. Blue has mind control effects, red has act treason effects. When it comes to filtering blue has draw then discard and red has discard then draw. Both have a form of free spells Cloud of Faeries vs Priest of Urabrask. I just thought of those quickly too.


I said the least, not none.

Untapping Mechanics Fate

New 07 May 2015 Asked by creepydentures 27 Comments

Is there any chance of the untapping mechanic from Urza block?(Cloud of Faeries, Frantic Search, etc.)


The “free mechanic”? It’s almost as broken as storm. : )

Favorite Mechanics

New 10 Aug 2011 Asked by philosophersandpatriots-blo-blog 3 Comments

What has been your most favourite card mechanic that you designed? Least favourite?


My favorite mechanic is probably a tie between split cards and hybrid mana. If you don’t count those as mechanics (and technically they’re probably more tools than mechanics) then I’d say flashback is my favorite mechanic I’ve designed.  My least favorite mechanic I’ve designed is probably the “free” mechanic from Urza’s Saga (on cards such as Cloud of Faeries) as it was a mechanically fundamentally flawed at the design level. Suspend didn’t work out the way I’d hoped and I don’t like how we executed splice although I believe done differently it could work.
