Horror of the Dim

Black Toughness Shift

Do the recent printings of commons like Catacomb Slug and Horror of the Dim indicate a shift in the previous policy that forbade black from having creatures that are tough to kill in combat?

We decided a while ago to start giving black more toughness (it basically swapped with green as to its power/toughness relationship) to help separate black more from red.

Design Origins

Three things: Did you design Dinova Horror? Can have a wallpaper/hi-res image of Horror of the Dim? And third: "The Gateless have risen. The Ten shall fall." OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

I made Recoil on which this card is based. I’m not sure but I don’t think I designed Dinrova Horror.
