Suture Priest

Possibility of White Life Loss

Could white get life loss again? There were some white cards in New Phyrexia that got it like Inquisitor Exarch and Suture Priest.

It’s a bend we did specifically for New Phyrexia, and is something we could consider in the right set. It’s not a normal part of white though.

Suture Priest Color Bend

Does Suture Priest bend the color pie?

Yes, White does not normally make the opponent lose life (okay, other than attacking them).

Creature Type Opinions

How do you feel about class-only creature types, like Etched Champion (Creature - Soldier) or Suture Priest (Creature - Cleric)? Personally, I think they're a big flavor fail.

If the race isn’t clear or not supported, sometimes it’s the only option.

Multiplayer Card Design

Over the past few years we've been seeing a lot more cards designed explicitly with multiplayer in mind: the summer multiplayer products, Blood Tyrant, Exanguinate, etc. To what degree do you think cards that may be played primarily in duels (i.e. Suture Priest in NMS limited) should be worded to be better in multiplayer? Is there a downside?

The downside is that sometimes wording cards for multiplayer makes them more confusing in two-player play. Many players don’t even think of the idea of there being more than two players so cards or wordings that don’t make sense in two-player play confuse them. We do want to support multiplayer play when we can but there are issues such as basic comprehension that keep us from always maximizing cards in multiplayer play.
