Hooting Mandrills

Monkey Type Updates

I don't understand the Monkey type updates. Sure, it would be nice to have the monkey and ape type line up with actual taxonomy, but I would imagine gameplay trumps that. Why are cards like Monkey Cage and Ravenous Baboons being changed away from their printed wordings, when they have never been printed with monkey? If you change Ravenous Baboons just because baboons are actually monkeys, shouldn't Hooting Mandrills get changed too, because mandrills are actually monkeys?

The intent is all actual Monkeys should be Monkeys.

Delve Mechanic Return

The Khans prerelease was an absolute joy to be part of :') Hooting Mandrills were a personal favourite for me the whole event and I'd like to ask, who suggested to bring delve back for this set?

A bunch of the design team, including myself, realized it was a perfect fit for Sultai.
