As this set is top-down, that meant that a majority of the noncreature cards were using the tribal card type. The end result was that the cards were getting wordier but it seldom mattered. Most tribal theme cards cared about creatures and so weren't applicable to be tribal type cards. The one big exception was Zombies as there are multiple ways to get Zombie cards out of the graveyard, thus I believe the reason that I keep getting asked the question on this card. We playtested with tribal, and I kept getting the same note that it seldom seemed to matter.
In the end, we made the call that it wasn't adding enough to the game play to offset its inclusion, which both made the cards wordier and caused more confusion. One of the challenges of designing Innistrad was making the tribal component relevant without making it mandatory. I didn't want this set to be like Lorwyn , where you were forced to pick a tribe, but at the same time I wanted someone who wanted to draft a tribe to have some ability to do that.
One of the keys to doing this was to keep the tribal cards out of common. We designed some very strong tribal cards and then put them at uncommon, the idea being that if you open them, they might lead you down a tribal path. I decided that I did want to do a little tribal at common, but I wanted to make sure the cards had uses beyond their tribal component. This card came about because we were trying to find a way to help the Werewolves.
I'm not sure exactly how the pieces all came together, but I needed a Fog variant, and it dawned on me that when the fog comes out it's a lot like night in that it gets very dark. I had wanted the Werewolf enabler in green, so everything worked out perfectly. Most of my teaser clues about Innistrad have been solved, but one still seems to be causing discussion. Which card was inspired by a white Un- card? The answer is that Nevermore was inspired by this card:.
I eventually removed the card from Innistrad because we decided at one point that to play up the plight of the humans against the monsters that we'd keep the "evil" parts of the design out of white. Several months later, Erik Lauer is telling me that he wants to find a way to do in white what Cranial Extraction does in black. Cards like this are good safety valves to make sure that there are answers to environments if a particular card ends up too strong.
I tell him that I have already made the card and that it's a 99 in the Innistrad file. Cards that have been kicked out a file get their codes changed to 99 so that we can see what's been removed in case we want to put it back in. Erik, as lead developer of Innistrad , put the card back in the set, but turned it from an enchant player as all the curses are to a general enchantment.
This card came about because we were trying to make awesome mythic cards for each monster type. This card was created because we were trying to capture the "feed on them or turn them" dilemma that vampires constantly face. There was a lot of debate on this card, but I'm happy with how it ended up. Some people seem confused about the art of this card. Olivia is grabbing a piece of her dress and pulling it up with her fingers. The confusion is that you can't see the back fingers holding the cloth.
The artist kept the visible fingers straightened, as a balled fist holding the fabric would not have been elegant. That's all that's going on. For many years I worked at the Pro Tour running the feature match area. Often pro players would come up and ask me trivia questions I used to run a trivia game show at the Pro Tour.
I learned quickly that any time the answer to a trivia question was a pro player, the answer was always the person asking the question. On an unrelated note, what was the first double-faced card to be designed?
While we knew we wanted Werewolves on double-faced cards, it took a while to figure out how exactly they would change back and forth.
More on this in two weeks. As such, the first trope I made a double-faced card out of was the "vampire turns into a bat" trope. The key to the design was making sure that each side had something you wanted, because the card could change at will. The cleanest answer was to have one side be bigger but the other to have evasion.
Originally the card could change at instant speed, but that ended up making very complex game play as you had to always factor in what it could change into. This card is Tiago Chan's prize for winning the last Magic Invitational. That event was held back in October of ; what happened? Why did it take so long to make it to print? There are a number of reasons.
First, Tiago's original card submission didn't turn out to be printable:. Denying Channel Land T: Add 1 to your mana pool. It turns out an uncounterable counterspell that also doubles as a land is not even close to something we could make. We originally tried to get a variation of this land into Zendikar.
We figured a cool new land would be right at home in the land block, but we never could get anything to work. Tiago then moved to China for a while, where he was out of contact. When he returned we contacted him, and developer Zac Hill and I helped him come up with a new card idea. That card went through various changes, but at one point allowed you to cast an instant or sorcery from your graveyard.
Realizing that we could accomplish this through flashback I put the card into Innistrad. We try to make the Invitational cards good enough to see tournament play, so the card went through various changes in development Tom might one day tell this story , but it made it out and finally has seen it to print.
