Dethrone

Ravnica Color Pair References

Do you think the Ravnica guild names will ever be dethroned as the de facto way to refer to color pairs?

I don’t know. We’re not actively trying to dethrone them.

Dethrone's Odds

Odds of Dethrone making a return for ELD?

I’m sad to say the chances of Dethrone of Eldraine is low.

Dethrone Mechanic Context

Could Dethrone appear in a non-conspiracy set?

As it requires multiplayer play to work properly, it would require a design different multiplayer product. Yes, it can technically work in two-player play, but is confusing without the larger multiplayer context.

Dethrone in Standard

Why can't dethrone be printed in a non-commander set? It makes a great catch-up mechanic and will also thrive in shockland-plentiful formats

There is a higher threshold for mechanics in Standard-legal sets than “can be played in two- player”. Dethrone loses a lot when taken out of multiplayer.

Conspiracy Mechanics in Sets

It doesn't make sense to put commander-mechanics into non-commander sets, but could you say, put conspiracy mechanics like Dethrone or the Monarch into a non-conspiracy (but still multiplayer) sets on new cards (we've already seen reprints)?

Multiplayer sets can have relevant multiplayer mechanics/reprints.

Conspiracy Release Story

Mark, I'd like to share my Conspiracy release story with you. My plan was to play multiple Infectious Horrors, names with Secrets of Paradise. I then used these to ramp into Scourge of the Throne and Phage the Untouchable. Then, I would cast multiple Wrap in Flames, named with Brago's Favor, making my opponents unable to block. Finally, I would attack with Scourge of the Throne and trigger its dethrone, hitting somebody with Phage and somebody else with damage, then doing it again. Had a blast!

Dethrone Mechanic Query

Mark, I love the new space that's being explored within the Conspiracy set, I'm curious though. Mechanically do you think we could ever see the ability Dethrone in a Standard legal set? It feels like such an unique mechanic to be only relegated to a supplemental product.

The problem with dethrone is we make our normal sets such that the mechanics work in a two-player game. Yes, dethrone technically works but is very confusing outside of multiplayer play.
