I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. White is the only mono-color to not have an extra turn spell, and I think it should get one. Especially when Seedtime (the only mono-green extra turn spell) is more in white’s part of the color pie than green’s. I know that extra turns are a powerful effect that you try to do in moderation, but I would still really like to request a mono-white extra turn spell. And just to be clear, I’m not asking for “time warp but white”, I still want to follow the color pie.

Box checking is a bad reason to push abilities into new colors.

My birthday is just ending and I finally remembered to ask you a question! My favorite cards are “take an extra turn” cards. Is time warp back in standard an if or when?

An if. Happy Birthday!

Cheers Mark. I remember somedy asked you if we have seen the last about Saffi Eriksdotter, and your answer was very clear that she was devoured by the Lhurgoyf. But today I found out that she wasn't devoured. She stepped into a time rift. So is she probably alive after Time Spiral block?

Unless she took a vow of silence, I believe the time warp stuck her back where she came from.

If I recur Time Warp am I required to do the dance from Rocky Horror, or is it just good form?

It’s just good form. : )

If you were teaching a smart adult to play Magic, what's the most complex card you would include? I know you recommend decks of only sorceries and French vanilla creatures, but I'm considering adding a couple of splashy rares too (Spawn of Thraxes or Time Warp, for example). What do you think?

The most important thing is the the person learning have fun and enjoy themselves. If adding a few rares you feel will do that, then add them. Just remember, they don’t have to learn all the rules by the end of their first game.
