Commander Draft Praise

I just wanted to praise the people responsible for the changes to MTGO Commander draft format (1 game instead of 3, shorter clock) as well as the people responsible for the Commander Masters set design. This felt like a real game of Commander. I was able to ramp into Maelstrom Wanderer on turn 4, but the rest of the table was able to adjust, and there were enough powerful plays to keep it compelling and enough evasion and card draw to prevent it from dragging. Excellent job!

I’ll pass along the kind words.

Stackable Keywords Explained

in regards to black border caring about multiple instances of a keyword (like "double haste" etc) cavalry master from *cough*time spiral*cough* grants double flanking to creatures with flanking. maelstrom wanderer also has double cascade.

Certain keywords like flanking are stackable.

Art Quality Opinion

I feel the art of the game is getting worse as time goes on. Compare original art maelstrom wanderer to eternal masters reprint. Beautiful hand drawn piece compared to what looks like a video game screenshot. I realize you have no control over this, but what are your thoughts on the matter?

I couldn’t disagree with you more. I believe the art is the best it’s ever been. As far as I’m concerned, our art directors and artists are hitting it out of the park set after set.

Samut's Haste Ability

Why does Samut (the creature one) have haste but also give all your other creatures haste? Older creatures with similar abilities (like Maelstrom Wanderer) just say "Creatures you controlhave haste". I know this is might seem like a very boring question, but - why the change? What prompted it?

Confusion over whether the creature grated itself the ability.

Birthday Trivia

Ahh! Maro! It's my birthday! I've been following you here for about 11 months now, watching so many people get birthday trivia, and now I get my turn! ^_^ Can I get some trivia on my new favourite commander, Maelstrom Wanderer? :D Failing that, if you were to ever play commander, who do you think you'd want to build a commander deck for (and why)? :D

There are very few cards which have the same keyword twice on them. We’ve done it with Scry, but I can’t think of any others. (The ones I forgot are listed below.) Commander products let us do some designs we wouldn’t do in normal sets. Happy Birthday!

Errata Possibility

Maelstrom Wanderer says "Cascade, cascade." Couldn't Contagion Engine be errated to "Proliferate, proliferate?"

Probably, probably. : )
