Talruum Champion

Throat Wolf References

"We’ve made numerous Throat Wolf nods over the years and Unstabie has a creature that can attack on the opponent’s turn. Also, it’s not a reference many Magic players get." Most notably, Talruum Champion is a reference to Throat Wolf. (I'm sad it doesn't push *all* first strike-time attack damage back, including double strike, but I imagine doing that with existing rules is a pain.)

That was one of our Throat Wolf designs.

Art Coincidence?

Is the similarity between the art of the new Llanowar Elves and Visions’ Talruum Champion just a coincidence?

They’re actually the same art if you look very close.

Strike Abilities Complexity

You've mentioned a couple times about how you'd like to have a First-First Strike ability (like Talruum Champion), and a Last Strike ability but it's technically difficult. Why couldn't these work with triggered abilities, a la Ashmouth Hound?

The issue isn’t the game can’t do them. It’s that it can’t do them simply and elegantly.

Is there anything I can credit you for doing in Visions or 7th Edition?
