Was Ponder designed as a "fixed" Brainstorm?

I think so.

Format Staples Rotation

New • 16 Mar 2024 • Asked by yuleooze • 47 Comments

In the interest of Wotc playing attention to non-commander formats, has there ever been talk of taking away format staples for a brief period of time? As long its communucated effectively that the cards are not banned forever I'd like to see what legacy looks like without Daze for like 3 months, or modern without Force of Negation for a season or so. I like that vintage saw the unrestriction of Ponder as a way to shake up the format, and want that for other formats as well.

I have pitched the idea of a “penalty box” where cards get sidelined for a specific amount of time, but it’s never gained traction.

Potential for Alternate Reality Set

"I am curious about one thing. Would you all like us to do an alternate reality set where we show you other possibilities of characters, but all in color pie mechanically?" - Only if the trailer is narrated by you. "I am the Maro. I am your guide through these vast new realities. Follow me, and ponder the question... What if?"

Not off the table. : )

Cycle Design Clarification

New • 05 Jun 2019 • Asked by codenamejd • 33 Comments

Having a discussion on twitter that I hope you can settle; some people were expecting Cabal Therpist and Pondering Mage to be part of a full cycle of spells on creatures. Was this considered a cycle by design, or just players noticing something some cards in the set had in common? If it was a cycle, what was the rest of it?

They were not designed to be a cycle.
