  • Draftsim ranks all 8 Selesnya Planeswalkers in Magic—handy knowledge for evaluating the next windmill slam bomb rare in your green/white draft piles. Source

  • Mark Rosewater weighed in on the most influential Magic designers outside of himself and Richard Garfield, naming Bill Rose, Erik Lauer, and Aaron Forsythe as his leading contenders. Source
  • A player asked if they could write their own rules text for R&D's Secret Lair like they can flavor text for Plot Armor. MaRo firmly shut that down. Source
  • Ever wanted to cast a Dungeon? MaRo explained that R&D needs a compelling design reason to make normally uncastable card types into spells, not just doing it for the sake of novelty. Source
  • Good Time Society played through the new Mood Swings Secret Lair from Mark Rosewater himself. Source

Is it at all possible to print black border and silver border cards on the same sheet or in the same set? I really liked Unfinity, but I wasn’t a huge fan of the acorn symbol versus the traditional silver border. It would be cool to see both styles of cards in the same packs. Plus it would be really fun to open silver and black border cards out of the same booster.

Does Learn/Lesson have roughly the same issue as Partner, where each new Lesson makes Learn cards more powerful because there’s more cards they can get, and each new Learn card makes Lessons more powerful because there’s more cards that can get them?
