Solve the Equation

Tutors In Standard

New 02 Nov 2022 Asked by lylethebloody 26 Comments

I wanted to ask about something that doesn't seem to jive with what you've said on this blog and on other WotC channels. Fauna Shaman is back in standard, a Black tutor is back... Blue got Solve the Equation shortly ago.... you've been printing quite a few tutors in Standard-Legal sets. I'm not complaining... it just seems odd since you've said that tutors are bad (variance concerns) and that you guys don't like shuffling (which got Yorion banned in a roundabout way). What's changed?


We do make tutors from time to time. I’ve said we’ve shied away from tutor mechanics for repetition of gameplay issues.

Solve The Equation Naming

Why isn't solve the equation a tutor in name like idyllic tutor or grim tutor?


Not all tutors have to have the word “tutor” in their name.

Choosing Card Rarity

New 04 Apr 2021 Asked by scarecrowit94 47 Comments

I know that rarity/power level is not your field, but I’m not sure interested in knowing why 3 mana value tutor for specific cars type like fabbricate and now solve the equation ended up being uncommon while Idyllic tutor is a rare?


There are numerous factors beyond complexity why a card might sit at a certain rarity. Maybe the card impacted limited n a way that was problematic. Maybe it got pushed out of uncommon due to the need for the slots to fill over roles. Maybe it did more, but got rolled back late in the process. I wasn’t on that set design team, so I don’t know specifically why that card ended up at rare.
