Favorite Cards Inquiry

Love your blog! It's all... insightful and fantastic and things. Since you've been getting a lot of "who designed this" questions lately, do you know who designed Hellrider, Myr Battlesphere and Hellkite Charger? Those are my three favorite cards. And, um, a more substantial question of what your opinions of them are as well? Hellkite Charger and Bear Umbra are from the same block, and I'm curious, was that combo planned or often used in testing? sorry for all the questions, stay awesome!!

Hellrider was probably made by myself or someone on my Dark Ascension design team (Jenna Helland, Zac Hill, Graeme Hopkins & Matt Tabak), Myr Battlesphere was made by Aaron Forsythe and Hellkite Charger was made by Ken Nagle or someone on his Archenemy design team (Kelly Digges, Aaron Forsythe, Dave Guskin & Mons Johnson). My favorite of them is the Myr Battlesphere but the other two seem like fun cards. I don’t think the combo was planned.
