I think that restricting addition of hybrid cards in edh games based on colour is really important to the health of the game. You always say restriction breeds creativity. (And the last thing Zur needs is access to is Privileged Position).

By why can’t a monoblack Commander play cards that can be cast in a monoblack deck? That’s my problem. I want cards to have consistency in use across formats.

Hello, I have a question about the Invisible Stalker creature, which I'm sure you get asked about often. I like hexproof, it is interesting as a mechanic interchangeable between Green and White/Green going back to enchantments like Privileged Position or the creature Silhana Ledgewalker. But why give it to a blue creature? Blue has the shroud mechanic and shroud on an unblockable 1/1 for 1U isn't unreasonable. Hexproof alone was a very undercost mechanic,, but that creature was crazy!

We’ve decided that shroud and hexproof can’t coexist actively in sets because we don’t want two different vocabulary words meaning basically the same thing. Blue originally had shroud and green had hexproof. When we condensed them both blue and green got what we condensed to. At first that meant green got shroud and then blue got hexproof. Blue is the one most in need of creature keywords so I’m not about to start taking ones away from it.
