Five-Color Card Trivia

New 12 Jul 2022 Asked by trifas 53 Comments

Hi, Mark! Another birthday around here. Could you share any trivia on my first commander, Scion of the Ur-Dragon, or any 5 color card?


The first five-color card, Sliver Queen, came about because we wanted a card that tied all the Slivers together, and they were all five colors, so it seemed fun and splashy to make the Sliver Queen five color. We made her legendary because Michael and I put her into the story. Happy Birthday!

Why don't Scion of Darkness and Scion of the Ur-Dragon have the Scion creature type?


Scion isn’t a creature type. It just means “descendant”.

Commander Damage Rules

New 06 Sep 2015 Asked by ihadapetwolf 34 Comments

If Scion of the Ur-Dragon transforms into another dragon such as Dragonlord Ojutai, does he deal commander damage as Scion or Ojutai?


I don’t know where to send people for Commander rules questions. Do any Question Marks know the answer?

Dragon Commander Trivia

New 24 Jul 2015 Asked by level12bard 52 Comments

Hello, MaRo! Yesterday was my birthday, could I get some belated trivia about my favorite Commander, Scion of the Ur-Dragon?


I have no idea what got us to make this card. It predates Commander being a thing (or at least a big thing) so that didn’t influence us. I guess we were just trying to make a Dragon lord that you can play with every Dragon from Magic’s past. The tutor a Dragon from your library to your graveyard and copy it sounds like the kind of thing I’d do although I have no memory of making this card. I was on the Time Spiral design team though.Happy Birthday!

Are there any popular dragons that you designed? I'm making Scion of the Ur-Dragon EDH and if one of the dragons I have was designed by you, I don't care what It's called, I'm renaming it Maro's Dragon


I have designed many dragons. List some of your favorites.

Dragon Lord Details

New 02 Jul 2012 Asked by themastah 7 Comments

I can't find the dragon lord. Are you sure there is one? Karrthus would probably count but he's legendary.


There’s a bunch: Bladewing the Risen, Crucible of Fire (okay, not a creature),  Dragonmaster Outcast, Dragonspeaker Shaman, Dragonstorm (okay, another noncreature), Imperial Hellkite, Kaalia of the Vast (lord to angels and demons as well), Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund, Scion of the Ur-Dragon and Zirlan of the Claw. I might have forgotten one or two.
