Hey Maro, can I share that I dont like flavour words because they feel condescending? It feels, like, "and this cawd has a twagic backstowy," I can put together the flavour, and it comes off very unconfident and smug. I might be alone though, so can this post serve as a chance for people to share thoughts on flavour words?

I have a request. Please, please, please, when the new Strixhaven set comes out, don't allow Learn to let you get Lessons from outside the game in commander. It is clear that you all let Spacecraft and Vehicles be commanders for EoE to sell more of it, please don't do this with Strixhaven.

Just want to crank up the volume as part of the vocal minority that mutate is a phenomenal mechanic and I think it’s perfect the way it is.

Hi Mark! A couple of times you've mentioned that flying is a key part of the game, such that certain world concepts (in-multiverse and UB) become much more difficult because of the lack of flying. How big of a challenge do you think it would be to come up with an evasion mechanic that serves the same general purpose of flying in the same colors while still being distinct enough to justify using a new word? I could see Underwater World, for example, as potentially needing a tool like that.

If/when, a mechanic that functions nearly identical to banding, but easier to understand.

If Lorwyn is a hit and overperforms expectations, would that plus Kamigawa's success constitute a clear signal that a big segment of the playerbase likes it when you return and re-do a classic old Magic plane, but do it right this time with modern design, and that should be a regular thing? And would that increase the odds of a set taking place on Rabiah that 'fixes' it (1,001 versions of Rabiah = different version this time = no more real-world references showing up)? Or is that too different?

"Can we request travellog sets? or more specifically, specific batches of planes to appear combined in travellog sets?

What does purple theoretically offer that capital-C Colorless doesn't?

Mark, as a (Timmy) kid, I longed for Magic to add Purple. A whole new color in Magic?! awesome!! As I got older and tried many other TCGs, I began to appreciate the restraint and elegance of five flexible yet distinct colors. TCGs with more 'colors' often feel much more siloed in terms of design space available for each, often rooting their colors in parasitic concepts that'd be better off as set mechanics. And Magic's faction sets keep finding fresh takes on the 5C, w/o constraining the future.

Where is Mercadia on the Rabiah scale now? We've gotten Kamigawa and Lorwyn/Shadowmoor now, which were only 1 and 2 lower on the scale respectively as of the original post. Is there a chance we see a facelift for Mercadia with some familiarities but many differences like we did for the other 2 I mentioned?

I am requesting a Kamigawa vs Ikoria set that ties into "over the top heroes and mecha fighting kaiju" tropespace. Has this been requested before?
