Modular Monstrosity Keywords

New 22 Aug 2019 Asked by popcornbunni 18 Comments

Can different iterations of printed keywords be used for Modular Monstrocity? For example, {3}{W}{G}: Monstrosity 1 (Fleecemane Lion) and {6}{G}: Monstrosity 4 (Nessian Asp)


You have to pick one printed version of it, but once you have one version of the mechanic, it’s considered chosen and you can’t select other versions (well, at least for the day).

Fleecemane vs Watchwolf

New 07 Aug 2014 Asked by junjacques-deactivated20160417 26 Comments

I love Fleecemane Lion (for its elegant design, beautiful art), but it's almost strictly-better of Watchwolf. How often does it happen to make such a strictly-better card?


Strictly betters happen all the time. It comes part and parcel with doing a trading card game.

Auras Mechanics

New 31 Dec 2013 Asked by sheth 19 Comments

Do you consider auras only being targeted on cast a bug? A new player was baffled that I could use sun titan to place a pariah on *his* hexproof fleecemane lion.


I wish we could find a way to get “target” onto auras.

More Cats in Theros?

New 06 Sep 2013 Asked by austine567 9 Comments

Theros is looking great so far, all the cards look amazing and super fun to play with. With the recent spoiler Fleecemane Lion is there any chance that there may be more cats to come? Some of the creatures in my cats tribal EDH deck could definitely use some upgrading :)


There are leonin in the block so yes, there are more cats.

Concerns About Powercreep

New 05 Sep 2013 Asked by roflcthulhu 42 Comments

Could you guys please not push out blatant powercreep of already-good cards (watchwolf->fleecemane lion) in future? It's very offputting, especially when it's in the form of near-total interaction-killing. I am trying to phrase this in as positive a way as possible, but such cards HEAVILY reduce my urge to buy cards/try to play in the format.


Watchwolf was a tournament-level card for its day. Since that time creatures have gotten better. For example, Call of the Conclave in Return to Ravnica was a GW sorcery that put a 3/3 token onto the battlefield (in colors with the populate mechanic) and it saw no real high level play. Our development team works very hard to make Magic a fun and balanced game. Just because something might appear “blatant powercreep” doesn’t mean it actually is going to cause problems in tournament play.
