Colossal Dreadmaw

Addressing Power Creep

When do we admit there's a power creep issue in today's Magic? You're telling me with a straight face that we're getting Colossal Dreadmaw for 4 mana, and that's not a problem?

Power creep means that the overall power level of a set is, on average, more powerful than the sets leading up to it, and then continually trending upwards. That isn’t the case.Note that individual card effects will rise and lower in power level over time as the pendulum swings.

Bloomburrow's Magical Nature

Hi Mark! When planeswalkers enter Bloomburrow, they turn into animals. Conversely, when animals from other planes enter Bloomburrow, do they become sentient and anthropomorphic (e.g. a Colossal Dreadmaw that wanders into Bloomburrow can act and talk like a Pirate)?

No, denizens of Bloomburrow remain animals when they travel to other planes.

Colossal Dreadmaw Elusiveness

I can't find Colossal Dreadmaw in the The Lost Caverns of Ixalan spoilers yet. Is it hiding someplace? But how could something so colossal hide so well????

Colossal Dreadmaw is sneaky.

Colossal Dreadmaw Reprint

Can I get a maybe on colossal dreadmaw reprint in Ixalan? Or is that kind of raw, format-warping power not appropriate for a premier set anymore?

I’m not sure we could stop Colossal Dreadmaw if it wants to be in the set.

Colossal Dreadmaw Mechanics

Is Colossal Dreadmaw clearing the bar in Bar Entry intentional?

I don’t have a Bar Entry card at hand, but as long as his head, not his neck, clears it, you’re good.

Cycle for Dreadmaws Possibility

Regarding the question about a cycle for dreadmaws, are there any colors where it would be a break instead of a bend to do one?

Here’s all the colors to have a common 6/6:Blue - 6Red - 2 (one a backside of a DFC)Green - 12 (One a backside of a DFC)Black/Green hybrid - 1Green/Blue hybrid - 1What this means is maybe we could do a Colossal Dreadmaw in red as it can have a common 6/6 and gets trample. Black is a stretch as the only black card to get a common 6/6 was a hybrid card and it doesn’t get trample at common. White is the furthest away from getting it.

Probability of a Dreadmaw Cycle

Hey Mark, since we had colossal dreadmaw and phantasmal dreadmaw, do you think it's possible for that to become a cycle or am I just wishfully thinking?

The problem is not all colors get that big a common creature.

Colossal Dreadmaw Joke's Emergence

The Colossal Dreadmaw joke started from the fact that three of the next four sets after it was originally printed also had it.

Yes, I think so too.

Understanding Colossal Dreadmaw Joke

Can you explain to me why making fun of Colossal Dreadmaw or sarcastically calling it the strongest card ever made is a running joke in the community? Haha

I don’t know what makes the meme tick, but it’s funny. Okay, maybe I do know. Funny gets you pretty far.

Reprint Scale Query

Could the scale about reprinting creatures be named the Colossal Dreadmaw Scale?

1) I don’t think we need a scale for this.
2) The scales are normally named after something at the end of the scale which is very unlikely to ever happen.

Colossal Dreadmaw Guild Watermark

So is Colossal Dreadmaw going to get a Gruul guild logo in Ravinca?

No. To get a guild watermark, you have to be two-color, optimized with two colors or use the guild keyword.
