Nymphs Rating on Beeble Scale

New • 20 Dec 2020 • Asked by themartiangeek • 38 Comments

Where are nymphs on the Beeble scale? Do they get different ratings depending on whether or not they're on Theros?

Theros has Nymphs, so every visit to Theros will have Nymphs. I can see other worlds having them. That makes them a 5.

Hello Mark, why is Dryad of the Ilysian Grove a Nymph but not a Dryad?

It’s an oversight. We missed it.

Dryad Classification Issue

New • 01 Mar 2020 • Asked by crazychucky • 52 Comments

Why isn't Dryad of the Ilysian Grove a Dryad? Previous Therosian dryads were type "Nymph Dryad", but this one is only a Nymph.

It was a miss on our end.

Why is Dryad of the Ilysian Grove a nymph and not a dryad?

I’ve been told it was an oversight. It should have been a Dryad Nymph.

Dryad vs Druid

New • 17 Jul 2016 • Asked by vgglasses • 37 Comments

I just wanted to correct the other person who said that "dryad" is the feminine form of "druid." This is untrue. Druid and dryad stem from two different roots, though the confusion may be that both roots are related to trees. Dryads are tree nymphs/spirits, while druids, as the collective consciousness knows them, are magicians/sorcerers/diviners.

FYI

Unique Card Titles

"What other simple words have never been used in a Magic card title?" — Afternoon, Doctor (doctoring is used), Mister, Fantasy, Monster (monstrous is used), Horse (closest is Horseshoe Crab), Nymph (creature type but never a name), Dog (but Dogpile), Mouse, Pants, Shirt.

I’m not sure all of those are true. For example, Phantom Monster is a card.

Enchantment Creature Type

You said that you wish that Theros block would've introduced an enchantment-exclusive creature type. It did: Nymphs. (Well, there was Shanodin Dryads from 7th Edition.)

The problem is nymphs only make sense as enchantment creatures in the context of Theros. Imagine if we had never done illusions before and they were introduced as enchantment creatures. That’s what I was talking about.

It's not my birthday, but I'm working early on a Saturday. Can we have some trivia about my favorite card, Riku of Two Reflections?

Many of the bestow creatures in Theros were nymphs.

Enchantment Creature Query

New • 20 Sep 2013 • Asked by undeadirishman-blog • 9 Comments

How come Boon Satyr is an enchantment when all the other satyrs in Theros are just regular creatures? The other bestow creatures make some flavor sense, since they're all nymphs, spirits or emissaries of the gods, but Boon Satyr doesn't have any of that going for him.

The gods make their versions of creatures. Those are enchantment creatures.

As a tribal player, I'm mad at you! Between Merfolk, Minotaurs, Nymphs, Noston, Satyrs and Gorgons how in the world am I supposed to choose a single tribal deck to play at a time? You're just being cruel! : )

Sorry, our myth-stake.

Nymphs in Theros?

New • 24 Jul 2013 • Asked by ricardolongo • 15 Comments

Can we expect Nymphs in Theros? There are many different nymphs that could suit each color - dryads for green, limnades for blue, eleionids for black, leimakids for white, oreads for red.

At this point, all I can say is you can expect Greek mythology inspired creatures in Theros. Speculate as you wish.
