Q

readerat2046 asked:

I know you've said a number of times that the issue with a return to Kamigawa is that so much would have to change to make a viable set that it would really be a return in name only. Which do you think is the better idea: a return to Kamigawa with you being given the freedom to change as much as you need to change to make a viable set, or an entirely new Japanese-themed plane, built from the ground up incorporating everything you've learned in the past years?

A

markrosewater:

Okay, Question Marks. Which would you prefer and why:

a) a return to Kamigawa where R&D is given the freedom to change as much as we need to make a viable set

or

b) an entirely new Japanese-themed plane, built from the ground up incorporating everything R&D has learned in the past years

The original Kamigawa took place, what hundreds of years in the past? That is a narrative reason A) is the perfect option.

Amonkhet Invocations (Masterpieces)

markrosewater:

Share with me your thoughts on the new Masterpieces in Amonkhet.

The frames are too busy and distract from the art, something I think masterpieces should highlight like BFZ did with full art lands. It’s really the pillars directly next to the art. Hieroglyphs cluttering the name and type line don’t help either, especially since the words are centered to the card, not the text box leaving them slightly to the right in the text box. All this combination to make it real hard to focus on any single element of the card. My eyes end up drifting to something else. I do like the centered rules text. And I really enjoy the quality of cards reprinted.

discoviolenza asked:

Honestly, as far as commaders go red black is equally as bad as boros. i feel like blue green or blue green x get by far the best commanders which is a problem because they are the best colors in the format by a pretty wide margin.

A

markrosewater:

Okay, let me know what kind of commander you’d like to see for different two-color combinations.

RW instants matter. A commander that is worthy of equipping Sunforger.

Follow-up Question

markrosewater:

I asked earlier today, how you all felt about our current product line. The top answer was “too many products” followed closely by “the right number” .

This question is for those that said we had too many products. Which product would you pick for us to eliminate and why?

From the Vault. Like others have said spacing Conspiracy and Masters out a bit more would help as well. It just so happened money was tight this summer due to some medical bills so I missed out on both. If one had been released after Aether Revolt that wouldn’t be the case.

I was going with ‘wildfire’, but ‘forest fire’ might be better.
