Karn, Scion of Urza

Trivia on Character Karn

New 04 Aug 2021 Asked by thesilvernoble 46 Comments

Hello Mark! My birthday was Sunday, August 1, and I turned 39. (26 years of playing magic now!) My middle name is Karn, and I was wondering if you had any trivia on Karn from your untold weatherlight saga, or if you had any design trivia about my favorite card ever, Karn, Scion of Urza?


Karn was named after the word “cairn”, a heap of stones set up as a monument. During the first year of the Weatherlight Saga, each character was given to a single writer who wrote all their flavor text to give them a voice. I wrote Karn (and Ertai). We included him on the crew because we wanted artifacts represented.Happy Birthday!
