White's Potential for Doomskar

New • 24 Jan 2021 • Asked by jonpaulcardenas • 103 Comments

Doomskar is one of the strongest wrath effects we have ever seen. And is the best one seen in standard in a very very long time. Last year White got Shatter the Sky and that was a big deal. Doomskar is much much stronger. Can you tell us anything about the thought process in why now giving White this strong of a sweeper? People talk about white not getting good cards, and this is a massive deal for standard, and other formats too honestly. So why now?

“This white card is weak. Explain yourself.”“This white is strong. Explain yourself.” : )Mass creature removal is primary white and it was a cool foretell card both mechanically and flavorfully, so we were willing to make it one of the best white cards.

Why does Shatter the Sky care about "big" creatures in a positive way? Shouldn't white care more about having small creatures?

Part of making white better is pushing the boundaries a little about what white can care about. EDIT: (shakes hand at sky) Typo!

Mark, as someone who come here a lot to ask about White I must say that some things made me really happy in Theros Beyond Death. Elspeth Conquers Death was amazing (and I hope to see more of these effects in White cards :) ) and Taranika, Shatter the Sky, the pegasus archon and Heliod were pretty amazing cards. Congratulations to all the team!

We are working on white.
