Aeromancy's Elemental Affinity

In a lot of pop culture the element of air usually falls in more with red's philosophy than blue's. Could we possibly see some aeromancy in red in the future? (Tibor and Lumia barely counts)

How is air more Red than Blue? It is often connected to mental acuity and associated in symbology with blue.

Legendary Criteria

"[In Dissension] We didn’t make anything legendary unless we feel we had to." Why did, say, Tibor and Lumia have to be legendary? Mechanically they're as tame as it gets. Certainly tamer than the Nephilim.

Because the card specifically referenced characters.

Magic Couples Red Connection

Hi Mark! My wife and I both play Magic and today is are our ninth wedding anniversary. That got me thinking... Is it any coincidence that the three creature cards that represent married couples (Tibor and Lumia, Anax and Cymede, and Pia and Kiran Nalaar) all have red in their color identities?

Red is the color of emotion which includes Love. : )

Dual Legends Future

There are 2 "dual legends" (correct me if I'm wrong) that have ever been printed: Anax and Cymede, Tibor and Lumia. Is there a reason there aren't more of those? Is there any chance we'll see more of those in the future?

It’s something the creative team likes to do sparingly. I’m pretty sure though we’ll see more in the future.

Guilds and Four-Color Cards

Re: 4-color design (Nephilim). Could a blend of two Ravnica guilds be conceived us as four-color design? Like a WUBR "Odd Couple" (think Tibor and Lumia) that represents a team of an Azorius arbiter and a Rakdos cackler?

Two guilds banding together is the best idea I’ve come up with to make a flavorful four-color card.

Flashback Mechanic Return

Hey MaRo, about how long can we expect to wait before we see flashback again? I know that you guys don't like to quickly repeat (non evergreen) mechanics, but I really want more cards for my Tibor and Lumia EDH graveyard deck.

R&D really likes flashback so it will be back quicker than most returning keywords.

Booster Pack Timing

I assume you personally hand-packed the booster with both a Dracogenius and a foil Steam Vents for me; you'll be glad to hear I opened it just in time to shuffle up my Tibor and Lumia EDH deck tonight. Thank you. Speaking of - was a split-card sort of mechanic ever considered for creatures? Maybe as some offshoot of DFC? (Okay, maybe I'm just holding out impossible hope for a Tibor OR Lumia deck...)

I was hoping you’d like it. Getting the timing just right was tricky.
