Moonfolk to Rabbit Errata

New 13 Jun 2024 Asked by hobblinharry-blog 4 Comments

Are there any plans to errata Moonfolk to Rabbit, considering they are inspired by the east asian "moon rabbit" mythology?


There are no current plans to do that.

Return to Hand Theme

New 07 Sep 2023 Asked by cursedereaper 29 Comments

I really love cards in Azorius that return your own permanents to hand and even reward you for it.
I love the design of Tameshi to tie that theme which fits to og Moonfolks in with the new Moonfolk theme of artifacts.

When or if the "return to your own hand" as a bigger theme in a product? (icluding jump start, commander and standard)


It’s a theme we do on occasion, usually as part of a draft archetype.

Creature Type Traits

New 31 Aug 2023 Asked by andalon-historian 36 Comments

Pedantic terminology question: Could you say that individual planes have their own characteristic creature types? e.g. that fox, moonfolk, rat, goblin, and snake are the characteristic creature types on Kamigawa, or that Kor is the white characteristic creature type on Zendikar?


You could say that.

Set Diversity Possibility

New 05 Aug 2023 Asked by cheesedurian2 26 Comments

With Omenpaths existing, is it possible to have a set with Satyrs, Aetherborn, Myr, Inkling, Demigod, Moonfolk, etc?


It makes such a thing possible.

Race Adaptability

New 13 Feb 2023 Asked by noir-raven 41 Comments

One of my favourite things in MTG is seeing new takes on old favourites. So my question is : What are the odds of a plane-specific race appearing in other planes in a completely different flavour? Aetherborn off of Kaladesh, Myr off of Mirrodin, Moonfolk off Kamigawa, or something similar?


When making new worlds, we look for opportunities to use Magic creature types known for one world.

Rabbits Request

I’ll see what I can do.

World with Varied Factions

New 31 May 2022 Asked by cheesedurian-deactivated2023010 34 Comments

If/When? A plane with Satyrs, Myrs, Moonfolk, Aetherborns, Nephilims, Strixhaven Pests.


All on the same world? If.

Potential Blue Rabbits

New 26 Mar 2022 Asked by popcornbunni 45 Comments

Rabbits wouldn't be Blue? They're famous in mythology as trickster characters and in many cultures are associated with the moon which has obvious ties to the tides and with scholarship. Kamigawa's moonfolk embody that association, being based on the moon rabbit with their long ears.


If we played up that aspect, they could be blue, but that’s a little more bunny people than bunny rabbits.

Moonfolk Mechanic Insights

New 05 Mar 2022 Asked by dude1818 31 Comments

I just listened to your Champions of Kamigawa mechanics podcast. One mechanic you didn't mention was the unnamed moonfolk mechanic ({N}, Return lands to your hand: Effect.) Do you have any design comments on that one?


It’s just very hard to design with.

Placement on Beeble Scale

New 21 Feb 2022 Asked by exclusionmage 29 Comments

Where are samurai, ninjas, and moonfolk on the beeble scale, particularly outside of kamigawa?


It’s tricky. They have to be in a world where those concepts feel at home.

Absence of 'Soratami' in NEO

New 21 Feb 2022 Asked by serpens 35 Comments

I noticed there's no mention of the word "soratami" in NEO. Has this term for the moonfolk been retired? Kitsune, nezumi, orochi, etc are all still used


I asked. It wasn’t on purpose. Just happenstance.

Expectations on Moonfolk

New 28 Jan 2022 Asked by paladin8000 40 Comments

mark, can i expect a lot of moonfolk?


It depends how you define “a lot”. I’d used the term “a bunch”.

Races in Neon Dynasty

New 04 Dec 2021 Asked by jillescas87 56 Comments

Since Neon Dinasty is set in the future, can we expect to still see beloved races, as Orochi, Moonfolk, Oni, Rats... My concern is not to see them anymore, being replaced by a lot of constructs.


I can’t go into details, but Kamigawa is still Kamigawa.

Kamigawa's Original Races

New 26 Aug 2021 Asked by jurrasicoresposts 62 Comments

Will we see the original races of Kamigawa in neon dynasty? the kitsune, moonfolk and orochi?


I would look at other returns to see how we handle creature types on planes.

About Moonfolk

New 25 Aug 2021 Asked by paladinofthelosthour 48 Comments

I invoke birthday trivia to ask about moonfolk


Moonfolk are from Japanese mythology. In the original Kamigawa block, they were all monoblue and had activations that require bouncing your lands. Tamiyo is a Moonfolk. Happy Birthday!

Changing Creature Types Possibility

New 15 May 2021 Asked by cairnwanderer 43 Comments

Would the creative team ever consider having an in-story event that changed what creature types were available to R&D? I.E., would they ever be willing to wipe out the Kor or the Elves or the Moonfolk, etc?


That would significantly more people sad than happy, especially if the tribe has tribal cards (the theme, not the card type).

Popularity of Samurai & Moonfolk Tribes

New 19 Nov 2020 Asked by shinoby8shobbies 65 Comments

Amoung all tribes from Kamigawa, samurai and moonfolk (if we exclude Tamiyo) are the only tribes that haven't got new cards since that block. Were those tribes that unpopular?


No.

Moonfolk on Other Planes?

New 30 Apr 2020 Asked by obazervazi 35 Comments

What are the chances we could see Moonfolk (besides Tamiyo) on a plane other than Kamigawa? Like how we saw the Kor again on Zendikar?


Kor are a bad example. Their home plane was Zendikar and some of them were kidnapped and taken to Rath. There are a lot of examples though of races appearing on multiple planes. Moonfolk are tricky as they aren’t quite as well known of a creature (outside of Japan), but if the right world came along.

Unique Magic Races

New 30 Dec 2019 Asked by abzanhouseguest 46 Comments

Could we get a world without any characteristic races but instead races created for magic like aetherborn and moonfolk


We tend to mix new with old. It’s possible a world with Magic invented races we’ve used a bunch. Even then, it’s a big world building challenge.

Moonfolk Mechanics

New 31 Oct 2019 Asked by trifas 32 Comments

Mark, you said an eventual return of Moonfolk wouldn't necessarily be tied to the "return a land to your hand" mechanic. But would them be tied to the "have many cards in hand" theme from Saviors of Kamigawa?


Probably not.
