Parhelion II

Commander Specific Wording Query

Out of curiosity, why do you have this stance that commander specific words can't be on cards outside of supplemental sets? It literally doesn't affect the card in any other format if, say, Parhelion II had had the words "This card can be your commander" on it.Is it literally *just* to avoid confusion for newer players?

History has taught us that players think cards don’t apply to them if there is text that doesn’t apply to them. For example, if we made a 5/5 for 2G with “if you control five artifacts, CARDNAME has trample”, players wouldn’t play it because there deck doesn’t have enough artifacts.

Sprinkling Vehicles in Sets

Are we still gonna see vehicles sprinkled into sets from time to time when they make sense, like the weatherlight, parhelion II, and enchanted carriage?

Yes, Vehicles are deciduous.

Improvements for RW Commanders

Mark, I just want you to know that when you said that you were working on ways to make good new cards for RW Commander players we couldn't imagine how cool it would be. Feather is totally amazing, Solar Blaze is awesome and Parhelion II will be totally awesome alongside Depala Commanders. Thank you again for your attention and work for making a better game for all!

You’re welcome. I’m happy you’re happy.

Parhelion II's Quick Cardification

Parhelion II is the fastest turnover ever from "Wow I hope that gets a card" to "Wow that got a card!" I absolutely love the card. I was somewhat skeptic of the non-guild ravnica set but this and the other days of spoilers have cleared my doubts, the set is looking amazing.

Thank you.

Colored Artifacts Concern

Greetings Mark! We're seeing the awesome new vehicles that utilize colored mana in #MTGWAR with Parhelion II and Mizzium Tank so far. I was wondering, what are your thoughts on how well card framing currently represents the color of colored artifacts? We only have two examples so far but I feel like the White framing on Parhelion II is almost indistinguishable from colorless vehicles. The legendary header helps a bit, but for most colored artifacts their mana identity doesn't pop immediately.

It’s something we’re going to look at.
