Hi Mark, I’m studying for my AP Physics exam, and we were going over variables in class. I noticed that the letter phi looks like the Phyrexian O, and I wondered if that was intentional (Phi-rexian?). Thanks
   It wasn’t an accident. :

Has there ever been internal talk about coining a term that combines instants and sorceries, like how Permanent combines the other card types?
   We’ve talked about it, but decided it wasn’t necessary.

Hi Mark, Any chance for some Dwarves in MH3?
   There is a chance.

is an extra combat step in mono whites color pie?
   We’re trying to keep it in red. There’s a hybrid card if you’re playing any non Commander format.

Hey Mark, I started off as a modern player and later converted to commander. I REALLY like building decks. I find myself starting to build MANY decks but never finishing them. I used to try and optimize every deck until I realized that doing it that way was actually less fun. I have now discovered that it is MORE DIFFICULT to design a deck to be fun that it is to simply optimize it. Based on your podcasts, I know fun has a lot to do with variance, epic comebacks, and other stuff as well. I would like to learn more on how to design a deck that is more fun
   It might be best to get a guest to do this topic in a podcast. My heavy Johnny deck building days are a bit behind me.

Mark, thank you so much for sharing your recent podcast about your dad. As you’ve said many times, Magic is more than a game to all of us it’s a way of seeing the world, of connecting with people and you drove that home today with a very impactful and vulnerable episode. Thank you again, and thank you Gene.
   I’m glad you liked it.

Are Selesnya colors allowed to have two mana instants that can kill creatures?
   Artifact creatures. :

I invoke the right of birthday trivia. My favorite deck in commander is GW Enchantress. Any particular trivia on anything related to Enchantress?
   Enchantresses have become pretty tied to drawing cards for playing enchantments. Both monogreen and monowhite have issues doing it alone, so we’ve been pushing more enchantresses into green white. Happy Birthday

Hi Mark, Since many planeswalkers got desparked after March of the machines, does the chances of us getting a new Aminatou at least as a legendary creature improved?
   The chances are improved.

Hey Mark, I just finished #1131: Magic Stories about My Dad. Thank you very much for sharing these beautiful stories about your dad. Before your listeners knew these stories, we knew you bring an emotion and a love bigger than just yours alone to the game of Magic. I’m sorry for your loss, Mark, but I’m really grateful for Gene Rosewater and the relationship you shared.
   Thanks.

What role does the concept of enemy allied color serve during design now, if any?
   A much smaller role than it once did. We lean in on occasion when it fits a set’s theme, but we do it infrequently.

Condolences on your father. I never met the man, but I know he must have been great, because he sired you
   Thanks.
    23h26
Thank you for sharing stories about your dad and thank you for all your efforts for this small pond.
   I’m happy you enjoyed it. I wanted to do it, but it was a tough podcast to do.

If When Heckbent being made an ability word (probably with a new name)
   If. It’s best chance is if it gets used as a faction keyword.

Drive to Work #1131 - Magic Stories About My Dad
   Drive to Work Magic Stories About My Dad : As I posted last week, my father Gene Rosewater died. This podcast is a tribute to him sharing many Magic related stories. Warning: it’s a bit of a tear jerker.

Hi Mark, Forgive me but I’m a little confused on which comes first between creative and design. Take mkm for example - did design make a creature called proft and an etrata cars, and creative saw these and decided to build the story around them? Or did creative say we’re doing a story about etrata and a guy named proft, please make cards for them ? Or is it a mix of both? Cheers and have a nice weekend.
   Creative tells design the main characters in the story and design makes the cards for them.

You said Black Green could exile target permanent but would White not be able to get it at a high enough mana value?
   White doesn’t do pinpoint land destruction which the question required.

I am making a custom set that has a lot of witches in it. I know witch isn’t a creature type so I was wondering which creature type is your go to when representing witches.
   Probably Warlock.
