Pearled Unicorn

First Rare Card Story

I first encountered Magic in a game review in Dragon Magazine just around the time that Revised came out, and shortly thereafter some other kids on the Debate team were playing on the bus (I remember a Pearled Unicorn). Do be careful when playing outside: my very first Rare (Sleight of Mind) blew a way in a park. Thankfully when I wrote to WotC Customer Service about it, they sent me another one! I still have the letter they sent back.

Alpha Cards Modern Potential

Following cards from alpha are not modern legal and have no reserve list, color pie, complexity or power level concerns, think you could see if any can get fit into a set?: Dwarven Warriors, Hurloon Minotaur, Copper Tablet, Conservator, Burrowing, Celestial Prism, Castle, Animate Artifact, Ironclaw Orcs, Ironroot Treefolk, Lance, Living Wall, Obsianus Golem, Orcish Oriflamme, Pearled Unicorn, Plague Rats, Phantom Monster, Phantasmal Forces, Scavenging Ghoul

Interestingly, most of those cards we’ve made better versions of them.

Split Card Challenges

"I think mixing existing cards into split cards could be pretty cool." It might breathe life into cards that have become (due to power creep) undesirable. Do you think you could play creatures as 'split' cards. By this I mean unrelated double-faced cards with no 'transform' option just two different faces. That could allow/encourage reprinting of older, less-favoured creatures like Pearled Unicorn or Squire where the card would be prized for its flexibility -do you want the 1/2 or the 1/1 flyer?

The problem with permanent split cards (where each side is a permanent) is that there’s no easy way to track which one is on the battlefield. Not to mention, I’m not sure the rules allow one to be on the battlefield and not the other.
