Gang of Elk

Elk Versus Deer Dilemma

New • 02 Jul 2024 • Asked by pantswithoutlegholes • 4 Comments

RE: elk vs. deer. i feel like the first appearance of a creature type often sets the precedent. the first elk card (originally beast) was gang of elk. so when somebody went to update that card it made sense to make it an elk. similarly, a lot of early dog cards were called "hounds" which is probably what started that whole debacle (snow hound, ghost hounds, warhounds).

Early precedence holds a lot of weight.

My birthday was last week, any chance I could get some trivia on elks? And also request a legendary elk that mechanically cares about elks?

It turns out I did the card concepting for the very first Elk, Gang of Elk in Urza’s Legacy. The Elk creature type wasn’t in use yet. Happy Birthday!
