From Beyond

Defining Modern Horror

Hey Mark, some people (myself included) seem a bit confused by the term “80’s/modern” horror, especially when Innistrad has already had references to that time period with Delver of Secrets/The Fly and Meathook Massacre/Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Can you be any more specific in regards to the media or tropes you’re taking inspiration from beyond the term “modern horror”? Thanks!

Imagine a set where those cards, creatively, are the norm, and not the exception.

Opinion on Devoid Mechanic

I will point out that From Beyond is another colorless enchantment, and the fact that people forget that it is says a lot about the playerbase's feelings about the Devoid mechanic.

The question specifically said ignoring devoid cards.

Color Shift for Howl

Is Howl From Beyond still a black effect, or is it more likely in red now?

It’s more likely red now.

White Card Draw

You have mentioned before that you don’t want white to be able to draw all its answers. Commander players want white card draw so we can play and keep up with the other players. Would a card effect like Murmurs from Beyond work to fulfill both groups? In 1v1 games it would allow the opponent to remove the card most damaging to that deck’s strategy and allow the opponent to play around the other cards. In Commander it would allow a player to get more cards into their hand.

No. The solution to Commander isn’t “find a way to justify letting white draw cards”. The key is finding tools that are white that help.

Exile Zone Concerns

What's wrong with Warden of the Beyond? I thought it was getting cards out of exile that was the problem (e.g. Misthollow Griffin and the processors)

I don’t have a problem with Warden from Beyond. My issue is that exiled cards are supposed to stay exiled. I don’t want the exile zone becoming a second graveyard.

Kaladesh Expectations

Mark, not gonna lie, I'm Eldrazied out. Can you grant me the faintest glimmer of hope that Kaladesh will be free of abominations from beyond the stars?

Saying Kaladesh will be different is an understatement.

Band Name Choices

My death metal band is Hymn To Tourach. Seems cool, but I was secretly hoping for Howl From Beyond...

: )

Black Power Boosts

Is Black allowed to do stuff like Howl from Beyond anymore?

The ability was moved many years ago from black to red. Black does still get small power boosts but nothing with an X in its cost.
