So far, for Baldur’s Gate, most of the adventurer cards I’ve seen are monsters (hag, dragon, etc.). While it might make for fine play design, I feel like the creative/flavor side of “going on an adventure” is more appropriate for creatures that could conceivably be player characters. What do you think — is this something the design teams consider?

The flavor of the adventure cards in CLB is you’re going on the adventure and the creatures/artifacts are the things you encounter.

Out of curiosity, what would be a high level approach for a return to Lorwyn/Shadowmoor? Integrating Shadowmoor doesn't seem to be too much of an issue with just using a bit more hybrid and adding Scarecrows as a tribe. However, Eventide seems a bit harder. It has notable amounts of Dwarves, Noggles, Hags and Spirits as half the creatures aren't the eight Lorwyn tribes. Would they just go the way of the Surrakar even they take up a notable amount of one set?

I have a real cool idea how to return to Lorwyn/Shadowmoor, but I don’t want to share it here because I hope to actually do it one day and want you guys to be surprised if I manage to pull it off.

Hi Mark! Today is finally my birthday, so I wanted to check if you have any unheard trivia about my favorite character Phage the Untouchable. If not, then maybe some secret about New Phyrexia?

It’s my birthday too! I designed Phage before the character existed. I just liked the idea of a creature that killed you if it hit you. My plan was to find a home for the design, so I was very excited when I learned there was a character that killed anything she touched in the current set. I took my design, added deathtouch and made it legendary. Happy Birthday!

Was a sorcery or instant or effect that mutates two non human creatures to combine them ever considered? Would have loved to combine Phage the Untouchable with a 1/1 squirrel to make the perfect squirrel assassin...

Combining any two creatures leads to a bunch of rules issues. It’s why Grusilda is silver-bordered.

What about the Hag creature type? Wasnt that the black spellcaster creature type?

Hag is not inherently tied to spellcasting.

Hey MaRo can I get trivia about either of my favourite cards, Phage the Untouchable or Progenitus, for my birthday?

I designed Phage a while before Legions but didn’t know what to do with the design. When I learned about the character of Phage, I was like, “I got this.”Happy Birthday!

Hi Mark, with regard to the whole Witch creature type discussion, would it be better to use Hag which is already an existing type? (albeit with only like 10 cards) That seems like it gets across witchiness pretty well.

Witch conveys more and is more resonant, with less baggage, than Hag.

I have out Over My Dead Bodies and attack with Phage the Untouchable. As she is in a graveyard, would it still cause game loss, or is the ability only relevant on the field?

Her ability still works.

It's my boyfriends birthday today! Could he get some trivia about the hag creature type?

The only monocolor deck that can’t play a Hag is Red. Happy Birthday to your boyfriend!

If Yet Another Aether Vortex flips over Phage the Untouchable, do you lose?

You do not because “enter the battlefield” triggers aren’t triggered.
