Due to database maintenances, there will be a downtime om Saturday, 2025-05-17, probably a couple of hours.

Is there a list out there of which Planeswalkers kept their Sparks and which ones lost them outside of the cards spoiled for Aftermath?

No.

Possibly in something like a Modern Horizons set.

Hi Mark, I was wondering if you could put an end to a long standing issue I’ve been having with my friends: About how old is Ajani? I’ve read that he’s anywhere from 30 to a thousand, and nobody seems sure

Not a question, but I’d like to suggest stopping with the vanilla matters questions for a while. I think you’ve explained why it would be a bad set theme in every way you possibly could.

I agree. We’ll hiatus the topic for now.

I think WOTC needs to acknowledge another Player Archtype, other than Johnny, Timmy, and Spike. This player’s name is Nick. Nick is a contrarian. Who only likes things other players dislike. Classic Nick cards: Shahrazad Humility Armageddon Stasis Nick loves banding, and flanking, and regenerates. I think R&D needs to make more Nick cards

I know that Alice in wonderland is neither fairy tale nor Camelot, but if any plane were to have cards that were top down themed from that it would eldraine, right?

We specifically talked about that and ruled they were out of bounds as it was a different source material.

No. Kaldheim had them. They got extended through the multiverse during the Phyrexian co-opting of the World Tree.

If you had the time to do such, would you prefer being more involved than you are now in having more input in the story side of things, as you once did? Or are you pretty happy to let someone else worry about story? I know as I grow older, I find I surprise myself in what I’d rather do in my job functions, as opposed to what I back-burner. Ten years ago, I would never have guessed what duties I’d decided I preferred over others.

My previous professional life was writing, so it’s something that interests me, but being head designer is a full-time job, which I adore, so I’m not looking for extra things to do. : )

“A big part of the problem is Magic does knights all the time.” I feel like another issue was that the Camelot stuff was just less obvious, especially when it’s right next to the very obvious fairy tale themes. For example, Circle of Loyalty did not read as “oh, this is Magic’s version of the Round Table”. Sometimes it pays not to be too subtle.

I agree that Circle of Loyalty could be less subtle, but there were lots of less subtle Camelot-inspired cards in the set. For example, the Questing Beast is the same actual name it had in the Camelot stories, and most players had no idea it was Camelot-related, because again, most players knowledge of Camelot is shockingly low.

I just recorded a podcast on card advantage with former pro player Brian Weissman (who was the first person to build a deck, called simply “The Deck”, around the concept). I’m really happy with how it turned out.
