Cone of Flame

Mechanic Timing Issue

Did you know Stun Counters were coming when you put Cone of Cold into Baldur's Gate? It seems like you missed a chance to make it mirror Cone of Flame now that you have a way to do a 3/2/1 spread of the freeze effect...

Sets work with what mechanics exist at the time it’s being made.

Humorous Card Suggestion

You have Cone of Flame and Silence, now you have to make Cone of Silence!

We’ll make it with Agent 86. : )

Variant Mechanic Recognition

"Have you tried making Cone of Flame/Bestial Menace variants in any of the other colors?" Does Cryptic Annelid (etb scry 1, scry 2, scry 3) count as a Blue variant?

I’d count it.

Color Variants

Have you tried making Cone of Flame/Bestial Menace variants in any of the other colors?

I have. One came out in black.

Gruesome Menagerie Oversight

In your article today, when you're talking about Gruesome Menagerie, you forgot two cards in the Cone of Flame cycle, Incremental Growth (from Lorwyn) and Incremental Blight (from Shadowmoor), so Gruesome Menagerie is actually the second black card in the cycle.

That’s correct. I forgot those two from the “Cone Club”.

Future Cones Possibility

We've had a cone of damage (Cone of Flame), a cone of -1/-1 counters (Incremental Blight), a cone of creatures (Bestial Menace), and now a cone of +1/+1 counters (Incremental Growth). Can we expect any more cones in our future? : )

Most likely.
