Vedalken Orrery Trivia

New 03 Sep 2022 Asked by anyguy 42 Comments

Hi mark my birthday request was probably lost in the Mail, so here I go again:Can you tell me a trivia about vedalken orrery. As a kid this card blew my mind, since it allowed a completely different playstyle (such as flashing in creatures etc.)Thanks for all you do. :)


One of the things I like doing in artifact sets is designing build around artifacts, so I encouraged that in all three Mirrodin sets. I don’t remember whether or or someone else on my team made this card, but I’m pretty sure it got made in design. If we’d made it now, it have some cutesy design name like Flash Light. : )Happy Birthday!

Thank you MaRo for all that you do. I have really enjoyed the seven deadly sins discussion recently, and hate to interrupt, but can I get some birthday trivia on one of my favorite cards vedalken orrery or leyline of anticipation?


Vedalken Orrery was designed because the goal of Fifth Dawn design was to make a very Johhny/Jenny-ish artifact set as the previous two sets had spun out of control power levelwise. To support the feel, we made a lot of “build around me” artifacts to inspire a lot of fun deck building. Vedalken Orrery came out of that desire.Happy Birthday!
