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.
#WotCStaff
It’s so incredibly metal 🤘 love his design

The Augmenter is even more Ambitious than previously believed. #WotCstaff
Looks like I made an error in the #MTGStrixhaven release notes, specifically on Ambitious Augmenter. In the Anointed Procession case, both tokens should receive the counters, as indicated by CR 122.8. I’m working on getting the document corrected. Thanks to those who mentioned it! #wotcstaff
Moseo was the brain child of Laurel Pratt the support Narrative Designer for #MTGStrixhaven.
When we were brainstorming new deans she suggested “what if someone excised all their flesh to stop phyresis”. And from there she created one of my favorite characters in the set.

AHAH!
My push for my local library system to get digital & audiobook copies through Libby worked!
And I’ll read it from the library too! Then I’ll listen to it!!
It’s what Lorehold would want, I just know it. #WOTCStaff
Off the top of my head, I’d expect it to be simultaneous, though looking at the devour rules, there may be some ambiguity that needs to be cleaned up. #WotCstaff
Game design made the mechanics on these cards parallels of each other, and we took it as an opportunity to tell a small two card story of rivals to... I mean I like to think they are dating now :D

Card art of Blech, Loafin Pest from Secrets of Strixhaven. Card art shows a large pudgy pest creature lounging on a branch. Blech has green skin with magenta stripe down his back and many spike and claws. He is surrounded by other critters including a spider, bats and a snake.
Blex was tragically one of the many casualties of the Phyrexian invasion. But at least he left some offspring to carry on his memory.

Because all replacement effects need to exist before the event occurs (in this case the event is entering), it doesn’t count creatures that will be devoured as that creature is entering. #WotCstaff

Answer to previous #mtgtrivia question:
They were creatures that flipped into legendary enchantments.
#WotCStaff
It refers to the first card you draw during the draw step, whether that's the one provided by the turn-based action or one that happens due to a replacement effect. You'll end up drawing three. Thought Reflection applies to the initial draw, then Ageless Insight applies to the 2nd one. #WotCstaff
Owl see you there? #MCVegas #WotCstaff
It is expressly not the intent. The card doesn’t have to stay in exile. In some unusual cases (mostly, you’re playing Oathbreaker), the card doesn’t have to go to exile at all. #WotCstaff

Nope. The delayed triggered ability is not contingent on the card staying in exile (or, as we've seen, even making it to exile in the first place). #WotCstaff
