Tell us the truth, Mark! Was Duskmourn: House of Horror inspired by Fred Astaire's Estate? :-)

Maybe. : )

As the year is nearly over, is there anything in particular you’re really excited to see in terms of release next year? A new plane, a new mechanic or creature type, a monored legendary phoenix finally? Anything specific or general you can share?

I am excited for a bunch of things. As for the premier sets, the things I’m most excited for:Murders at Karlov Manor: We built a giant puzzle woven into the set (and accompanying elements). The whole project was overseen by Mark Gottlieb, who’s an excellent puzzle builder. I was excited to be on the puzzle building team.Outlaws of Thunder Junction: I’ve started forming a new design philosophy that starts showing up in next year’s sets. While it first shows up in Murders at Karlov Manor, Outlaws of Thunder Junction is a bigger execution of the philosophy.Bloomburrow: This might be the cutest set we’ve ever made. I’m very happy with how the design captures the tone of the world.Duskmourn: House of Horror: I like how we’re pushing our in-universes sets in new directions. The set tackles modernity in a way few sets do. This was a complex challenge, but I like how we found a way to make a horror set that is it’s own thing and not just a redo of Innistrad.
