#WotCStaff

It means "A rumbling or gurgling noise made by the movement of fluid and gas in the intestines."

Today's #mtgtrivia question:

Borborygmos is a legendary creature in Guildpact. But his name is also an English word. What does it mean?

#WotCStaff

Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia question:

The Dark. It was the original home to both Elves of Deep Shadow and Dark Heart of the Wood, both reprints in Ravnica.

#WotCStaff

Today's #mtgtrivia question:

Ravnica had two (non-basic land) reprints that originally appeared in the same set. What set was it?

#WotCStaff

Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia question:

I messed up, so there is no answer. I had intended the answer to be Copy Enchantment, but forgot about the "except it's an enchantment rider". Sorry. I loved Copy Artifact and was surprised we never made Copy Enchantment, so I made it.

Today's #mtgtrivia question:

There's a card is Ravnica that has the exact same name and text as a card in Alpha (well, the Oracle text) except one word on the card is changed twice to another word. What card am I talking about?

#WotCStaff

Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia question:

Doubling Season. I needed a monogreen card that would work with Selesnya's creature tokens and Golgari's counters, and, well, I really like doubling things. It just seemed like the perfect place to make my dream doubling card. Luckily, I was not alone.

Today's #mtgtrivia question:

Every once in a while a designer gets to design what I call "a personal design" something they're making because they just want it to exist as a card. What was my personal design in original Ravnica?

#WotCStaff

Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia questions:

There are two answers, the Hunted cycle (creatures that create creature tokens for your opponent) and the common aura cycle with enters effects.

Today's #mtgtrivia question:

What five card cycle in original Ravnica was designed by Richard Garfield?

#WotCStaff

Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia question:

Hex was #1 (purposefully six words long) and Helldozer was #2 (I wrote it as a joke, mimicking a trailer voice over, not thinking it would be used).

#WotCStaff

Today's #mtgtrivia question:

I wrote only two pieces of flavor texts for Ravnica. In the market study, they were the top two favorites. (A feat I will never be able to do again.) What two cards were they?

#WotCStaff

Answer to #mtgtrivia question:

Agrus Kos.

Today's #mtgtrivia question:

Who was the protagonist of the original Ravnica novel? (Hint: They have a card in the set.)

#WotCStaff

Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia question:

The subname "City of Guilds" was added. Both Brady Dommermuth, the creative lead, and I felt the extra name wasn't necessary, that the cards would sell the concept of the guilds. Then we both went on vacation during the same week.

There was something I didn't feel was necessary for original Ravnica. It was changed while I was out on vacation. What am I referring to?

#WotCStaff

Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia question:

Twincast. I was a huge fan of Fork from Alpha and wanted to have a blue version, so I made one.

#WotCStaff

Today's #mtgtrivia question:

What Saviors of Kamigawa card did I design because I wanted an Alpha card I adored in another color?

#WotCStaff

Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia question:

One with Nothing. Brain Tinsman designed the card to spark conversations, and oh, how it did, especially in R&D.
