Fertile Ground

Supplemental Set Scale

I'm sure this has been asked before, but for the hard of remembering like me: Is there a Storm Scale for mechanics appearing in supplemental sets? I.E., suspend is an 8 or 9 depending on the day but has proven fertile ground for cards in supplemental sets. Or is that too hard to do, given that supsets have much wider tools available?

Almost anything can appear in a supplemental set, so it wouldn’t be much of a scale.

Future Un-set Worlds

If/When you begin work on the next Un-set, do you think we'll return to Bablovia, or would you use it as an opportunity to explore a different style of comedy world? I'd personally prefer the latter, as jokes don't tend to improve much with repeat telling and as fun as Bablovia is, I think there's more fertile ground elsewhere at this point.

I assume we’d make a brand new world.

New Phyrexia's Return?

Is there any reason why New Phyrexia is not very likely to see a return? Was the block not well received? Or do you just feel like there's no fertile ground left?

The Phyrexians are best when they are invading a new world. Seeing the world they’ve already invaded is just less compelling.EDIT: We very well could go back to New Phyrexia. I didn’t mean to imply that it’s off the table.

Green's Mana Philosophy

Would "fast mana" be secondary in green?

Red has fast mana (temporary one shots) and green gets permanent additional mana (things like Llanowar Elves and Fertile Ground).

Mana Acceleration Methods

With the departure of efficient land destruction, and the clunkiness of repeated shuffling, why do you not gravitate more towards Fertile Ground type effects, rather than Rampant Growths? They both result in colour fixing and mana acceleration.

We have been doing more to lessen shuffling in land searching. Note more Mulch-like effects.
