Trivia on 'Squirrel Nest' Card

New 13 Mar 2020 Asked by peteyvonwho 45 Comments

Hi Mark, Happy Friday the 13th! I wish to invoke the sacred right of birthday trivia. Can you tell us anything about my favorite card Squirrel Nest? Thanks


After the popularity in tournaments of Deranged Hermit, the brand team expressed concern that Squirrels weren’t “bad ass” enough for Magic (it was a different time), so I promised we’d make our Squirrels more “bad ass” which is how we got the origibal art for Squirrel Nest.How are we not bad ass? - 🐿

Squirrel Nest Reprint

New 01 Feb 2020 Asked by ardarian 27 Comments

'If squirrel cards make it back to black boarder' And you didn't talk about squirrel nest being reprinted last year?


I meant a new card and not a reprint. Squirrel reprints we occasionally do.

Squirrel Nest Origins

Did you have anything to do with Squirrel Nest?


I did. There was a point in time that I had a hand in every Squirrel card in existence. My hero. - 🐿

Black Squirrels Controversy

New 05 Nov 2019 Asked by khunjund-blog 62 Comments

Have you said why Squirrels could no longer be black bordered from now on? Overrunning my opponent with 1/1 squirrels doesn't sound any sillier than doing the same with 1/1 mice or bats. Maybe Chatter of the Squirrel is a bit too goofy a card name, but Squirrel Nest seems reasonable to me, especially since Hornet Nest was printed in M15.


I don’t get it, and I’ve been having this fight for many years.

Squirrel Tales

while walking my dog this morning i saw a squirrel eating a cicada. you'll be happy to know it made me think of you. i've still never seen a squirrel eating an eyeball tho (as depicted in the original squirrel nest art).


I get people sending me Squirrel stories and articles all the time. : )

Squirrel Cards Prospect

New 28 Jun 2019 Asked by quinton-the-hurricane-mccain 47 Comments

I've built a white/gree Squirrels & Elves EDH deck recently with Trostani, Selesnya's Voice as the commander. I was elated that Modern Horizons reprinted Squirrel Nest and had a few other Squirrel cards as well. However, in the future, for funsies I wanted to make a squirrel tribal deck, but there just aren't enough (commander legal, RIP Earl of Squirrel) squirrel cards to justify this. Could there be a potential for more new squirrels in the future or even a legendary squirrel?


If you want a Squirrel deck, you might need to be willing to use silver border cards. I’m hoping for more black-bordered Squirrel cards in the future, but even if successful, we’re a long way from a deckful of Squirrels.

Enchant Lands Vulnerability

New 27 Aug 2018 Asked by turnonethoughtseize 27 Comments

Are enchant lands like Squirrel Nest just secretly enchantments with tap effects?


They have the vulnerability that they essentially can be destroyed by land destruction.

Squirrel Trivia Fact

New 21 Jun 2017 Asked by levi-lottinville-blog 67 Comments

Today is my birthday! Can I have some Legendary and/or Squirrel Trivia for my gift today?


The brand team was worried that Squirrels weren’t “bad ass” enough for Magic so we made Squirrel Nest with the Squirrel holding a human eye instead of a nut.Happy Birthday!

Fiora's Squirrels

New 17 Aug 2016 Asked by donated-warroir-9 35 Comments

If reprints aren't canonical on fiora, does that mean the squirrels of squirrel nest aren't there either!? Say it ain't so, mark; I need my squirrels!


Only cards made specifically for Conspiracy appear on Fiora.

Squirrel Nest Credit

New 24 Feb 2016 Asked by sinecwid 34 Comments

Are you the reason squirrel nest was in the first conspiracy?


I would like to take credit but it was the work of a different Squirrel fan.

Squirrel Combo Fun

New 14 Jun 2014 Asked by mindfalls 70 Comments

I drafted Conspiracy last night and managed to get 2 copies of Squirrel Nest and 2 copies of Muzzio's Preparations naming "Squirrel", so every turn I could pop off 2 3/3 squirrels. After the first game my friends decided I needed to go and I was the first one killed in game 2, but it was a blast anyway. I'm definitely converted into the "Squirrels are awesome" camp.


One step closer… : )
