Elephant Trivia Request

New • 15 Mar 2024 • Asked by grosguerrier • 33 Comments

Hello Mark! I humbly request the birthday trivia: my favourite PW is Quintorius Kand (hf for your teams btw), have you got any Boros-elephant data related thing for me? Thanks~

The first creature to be printed with the creature type Elephant wasn’t in Alpha (War Mammoth was a Mammoth), but Arabian Nights with War Elephant. The second card printed with the Elephant subtype wasn’t until 1996 (three years in) in Mirage. (There were three: Iron Tusk Elephant, Noble Elephant, and Wild Elephant.)Happy Birthday!

Origin of Trample

Do you have any idea how trample was first conceived?

I don’t definitively know, but I’m guessing Richard made something like War Mammoth and said, “You know what this should do?” and made the ability top down from the concept of an animal trampling a blocking creature.
