Card Placements: Emrakul vs Squirrels

New 26 Jun 2024 Asked by godkingjinping 5 Comments

Does no one at wotc think it's silly how you can put an emrakul or griselbrand into play turn 1 but making a bunch of squirrels with earthcraft is too far?


I think it’s not far enough. : )

I’ll go with degeneracy.

Earthcraft Impact

New 29 Aug 2013 Asked by ceta-maelstrom 26 Comments

Who in the world thought Earthcraft was ok? I mean, I love it to pieces, but seriously, the things I do with it are not ok.


That was another example of me making what I thought was a fun Johnny card that was a little better than we realized. : )

Earthcraft Design

New 06 Aug 2013 Asked by yamijoey 5 Comments

RE: Earthcraft. In a recent Article, someone said 'Originally Mark Rosewater designed it so that it wouldn't work with Nest, but could untap Gaea's Cradle.'. (ie. Could untap non-basic lands, but not basics, or Legendary, or something else) what was the difference?


I honestly don’t remember. I’d have to look up the original.

Designing Earthcraft

New 06 Aug 2013 Asked by agahin 7 Comments

how was Earthcraft originally designed by you?


I came up with the idea, turned it into a card and then put it into a set whose design I was leading (Tempest). I feel like I’m missing the actual question.
