+1 on more Gorgons! I tried making a Damia Commander deck, and there are some truly amazing and flavorful Gorgons (like Sisters of Stone Death), worth playing even if they’re not the strongest, but there are a few (like Masked Gorgon) that haven’t aged quite as well… It’s an amazing creature type and I hope we see more!

We will see more.

Can we eventually get: squirrel warrior, squirrel merfolk, squirrel gorgon, squirrel goblin, squirrel hydra?

We’re waiting. - 🐿

What are the chances of black border turning things to stone?

There are many black-bordered Gorgons.

If/When: Gorgon tribal?

Little if. We don’t often do Gorgons in enough volume to support tribal, but maybe the right world.

I'd like a piece of birthday trivia about Vraska please!

This was real concern when we first made Vraska that the players just wouldn’t like a Gorgon Planeswalker.Happy Birthday!

Could Gorgons be White, with 'destroy target attacking creature' effect or Oblivion Ring effects?

Neither of those matches the flavor of a Gogon.

Planeswalkers having the same outfits; as a fun fact, in each of Vraska's appearances she wears a different outfit. the average viewer doesn't have a hard time identifying her due to her gorgon features. i do hope we see more of these in the future as the story permits, as i find it fun to see different outfits reflecting a character's situation.

We do tend to change the outfit of the main character to reflect the world. For instance, to show the mystery of Shadows over Innistrad, Jace got a trench coat.

I've seen you field the question a fair amount of times recently and you state market research supports the that most players like humanoid PW characters more. I don't doubt the notion, but isn't it an unnecessary slight to a seemingly-vocal subset of fans to not make a crazier, fantasy-monster PW once in a while? Throw us a bone (please)! I know these things take time and you might already be on it, but I also know some fans would be over the moon for an odd monster smart enough to be a PW.

We make crazy fantasy monsters all the time and occasionally even make them legendary creatures so they can be things like commanders. If players want to bond with crazy fantasy monsters, we have you covered.Planeswalkers are our story conduit. Things that we can make main characters in our stories, not just in the trading card game, but through other expressions like the Netflix series. We have a limited number of slots, so we need to be careful with how we use that resource. And note we have two Dragon planeswalkers, a hybrid Dryad/Treefolk planeswalker, a Golem planeswalker, a Demon planeswalker, a Minotaur planeswalker, a Merfolk planeswalker, a Goblin planeswalker, a Gorgon planeswalker, an Elf planeswalker, a Vampire planeswalker, a Werewolf planeswalker, a Leonin planeswalker, a Vedalken planeswalker, a Kor planeswalker, a Moonfolk planeswalker, a Cyborg planeswalker, a Satyr planeswalker, a Devil planeswalker and whatever the hell Ashiok is. We’re not shying away from doing crazy fantasy things, but yes we lean towards humanoids because that’s what best fills the function of what we need planeswalkers to do.And while I respond to questions like this all the time making it seem like a large pool of players wants non-humanoid planeswalkers, our data actually shows it’s a very tiny percentage. So they don’t work all that well for how we need to use them and statistically speaking they’re unpopular. We still just made Wrenn and Six. We’re not saying we’ll never do weirder stuff, but it’s something that has to come organically out of a need we have rather than just doing something to say we did it. And trust me, I know the message that most people don’t want the thing you want is frustrating to hear, but I’m trying to use this blog to be honest with all of you and explain business realities. Most players want something, we’ll make it. Some players want something, we’ll do it where we can. A few players want something, we’ll fit it in if we find a place where it makes sense, but we’re not going to force it. That’s how a multi-million dollar brand works. I’m just being brutally straight-forward.

Hi, Maro! How does Vraska rank on the planeswalker popularity list? First below the gatewatch? Lower?

Vraska is the top ranked planeswalker according to our latest poll run by Gorgon Monthly. The biggest write-in comment was “more snakes”.

Of the planeswalkers in league with Bolas, only Ral (any version) and Vraska (Scheming Gorgon, mono-black, from the Planeswalker deck) can be played in a Bolas-commanded Comander deck. Any chance of a mono-blue Dovin, mono-red Domri, and/or mono-Black Kaya in any kid of future products?

I’d say possible, but not probable.
