For the potential design idea of a card that could understandably have both Crew and Saddle, it wouldn’t really work. In order to Saddle it, it has to be a creature and if it’s a creature then it doesn’t need Crew. And then going through the trouble to first Crew it and then to Saddle it also doesn’t seem like it’d have a lot of design space for why you’d want to do it other than to simply say We did it. And as the first Tibalt proved, doing something just to say you did is often bad design.

For such a big new world why did we get little to no lore for OTJ? Seems like A Planswalkers Guide or a full Legends Of article would have been prudent after introducing a new plane such as this.

If when on getting Land Tokens in a set? I know there were Forest Dryad tokens at one point, but I mean just, say, a Swamp land token. Are there any particular issues that’d make you avoid doing it entirely, or is it on the table if it makes sense for the set?

Is there any chance for the Future Sight border to be used again?

If when: A draftable set with an intentional imbalance of colors of cards printed? Say, 30% white cards.

Have you ever thought about doing a sixth color in an un-set, or in the play test cards?

I’m sorry for your loss, Mark.

Where could I find the DtWs as a playlist?

Also I want to say, props to the team for the Spree mechanic I really hope it makes a return. Even if it’s just kicker again , it’s far and away the coolest kicker to date. Cards with options are always fun to use, and Spree offers so many in a very clear way. Being able to use the various modes multiple times as needed is the cherry on top.

Mark, why doesn’t plot grant haste to plotted creatures the way suspend does? It feels like the two mechanics would run into similar issues there.

Could a Green-Red-Black creature get a fight deathtouch card?

podcast request Miscuts(also misprints like summer magic) How happen? Feature or Bug? Does WotC have a stance on them? Do you have any opinions about them?

Can a green black hybrid give a creature death touch and have it fight bite?

Hey Mark, could you have a clone outside of blue if it could only copy creatures of a certain type or batch of types? Like a green creature that could enter as a copy of an elf, or a rakdos creature that could copy an outlaw.

Still early days, but a lot of us feel the OTJ limited environment is far too rare-driven. Between the play boosters, the bonus sheet, and the power level we find the luck of the pack dramatically outshines the experience of deckbuilding.

I am sorry to hear of your father’s passing, Mark; my grandfather passed this August after a long period of Alzheimer’s. I fully understand what you mean about grief being spread out and feeling a sense of relief in spite of the sadness of a final passing. I am glad he knew how much joy and creativity his son brought into the world. God bless your family.

We are. We lost him to Alzheimer’s, so the grief of losing him has been stretched out over time. My first thought in hearing that he died was relief as his last few months were not how he wanted to live. Still very sad though. I completely understand, Mark. I lost my Grandma to Alzheimer’s years ago, and I felt the exact same way. I’m so happy to read that you have plenty of fond memories of him, and I’m looking forward to reading your article about his influence.

I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your father, Mark. Is there a cause he cared about that interested Question Marks could donate to in his honor?

Condolences on your loss. Also, and possibly a bit jarring, have a happy Passover. (If you follow the traditional rules for sitting shiva, the holiday cuts it short.)
