Suggestion for Universes Beyond

Just FYI my wife (the one who once called you "the Taylor Swift of game design") is requesting a "Court of Thorns and Roses" Universes Beyond. She says lots of women would play. I'm just the messenger!

I’ll pass it along. It’s the first time I’ve been compared to Taylor Swift. : )

Card Compatibility with Force of Will

One with Nothing is the strongest card in the game, but it has a huge problem: it can't be pitched to Force of Will! Can we have a version of that effect that costs U/B (hybrid)?

I don’t believe every card needs to be pitched to Force of Will. : )

Proudest Set Design

out of all the sets that you have designed, which one are you the most proud of?

Diversity in Playerbase and Styles

Magic is for everyone. I really like how varied the playerbase is, anyone can find what is fun individually in such a large and flexible history of cards. Even recently, comparing the tone and demographic for ONE/MOM compared to Bloomburrow shows that many players enjoy very different styles

Bloomburrow and Duskmourn do that. And that’s just a slice of a few months. : )

Hopes for a Red-Blue Fish

Consideration on Gifting Fish

Was it considered that "gift a tapped fish" makes it more difficult if design wants to eventually gift someone a 2/2 green fish? Or is that so unlikely to be necessary for a future set as to be not worth thinking about?

It’s pretty unlikely.It does prevent the following card for a potential Dr. Seuss Secret Lair:Gift a 1/1 Fish.Gift a 2/2 Fish.Gift a red Fish.Gift a blue Fish.: )

Outlaws of Thunder Junction Drafting

When you were creating Outlaws of Thunder Junction, where you ever concerned that when people talked about drafting OTJ that some older players might be worried about seeing UG madness?

: )For those non-old timers out there. Blocks were often nicknamed with the first letter of each set in the block. So Odyssey/Torment/Judgment draft was often called OTJ. One its major draft archetype was green/blue madness.

Drawing Beyond Cards

Many cards allow you to draw conclusions. : )

Blogatog's Universe Beyond Product

Given how many questions you get and answer every day, it's not surprising that some random people would see some of your posts, where the algorithm tries to find what kinds of other communities or interests align with your page. If this trend continues, your blog may end up actually eating another blog. Does increased attention improve the chance of a Magic Community/Tumblr/Blogatog Universe Beyond product? There's a lot of Tumblr in-jokes to jump on.

Well it is called Blogatog. : )While I adore all my Question Marks, you all are a tiny portion of the Magic audience. Most players would not get the references.

Reprinting 'Ali from Cairo' Joke

Since Ali from Cairo is on the Reserved List, and looks like a clear color pie break, and references a real-world city, I'm guessing that its odds of being reprinted in "Cairo" are slim, to say the least. But has anyone joked about putting it in the file?

Not yet, but I didn’t think of it. : )

Enjoyment from Marvel Sets

Gooday sir! I call upon the sacred right of birthday trivia to ask you about your favorite set to open packs from. I only really started playing when UB LOTR released and since then I've had some fun pulls including Ulamog showcase from MH3. I would love to see what luck brings from your favorite set to rip into.

I’ve been enjoying opening packs from upcoming Marvel sets. : )

I too have had a Maro dream. You were very excited about getting in the car, which seems in-character for you

Should I be concerned about how many of you have Maro dreams? : )
