• Question: Hi Maro! I'm doing NaNoWriMo this year and I just wanted to say thank you for sharing so much about color philosophy and what colors pop culture characters are. It's helped me figure out my main character's motivations and how he would act in certain situations. He's Blue. : ) - ajohnnygoldmain
• Answer:

  markrosewater:

  Happy to help. Keep up the writing.

  My main is Black/Red but he’s being forced into a situation where the Black is turning White

• Question: What is the more likely way for us to get a 4-colour commander? A true 4 colour legend like a nephilim or a 2 or 3 colour legend with an activated ability that gives it a 4-colour identity (ie a boros legend with a simic ability or abzan legend with a red ability)? - asw122
• Answer:

  markrosewater:

  Which would you all prefer?

  They should be like transguild couriers: artifacts with no color mana costs and then color indicators for the four colors. Then have an ability that hates on the missing color. Or they can just continue to not exist because really 4 colors is not enough different from 5 to justify support.

• Question: Hello sir, my name is Drake. Yesterday was my birthday and I didn't get to ask any questions because I sleep most of the day, due to working nights. Could you give some trivia on drakes? It just seems appropriate. - ryuuza

  We once asked an artist to draw a picture of a lightning bolt hitting a drake and he drew a lightning bolt hitting a male duck. : )

  Happy Birthday!

  Well, he’s not wrong

• Question: If you were an Eldrazi with your eating habits, what plane would you want to eat the most and least? - aaronlovesmtg

Every once in a while, I like to do a little poll to see what worlds you all would enjoy seeing. Note that this poll is about brand new worlds and not going back to worlds we’ve been to before.

1. Norse 2. Dinosaur 3. Native American 4. Steampunk 5. Pirate 6. Egyptian 7. A new take on sci-fi horror such as Alien or lovecraft

markrosewater:

This poll is about worlds you’d like to return to. You can list as many as you like but please put them in order of preference so that your number one choice is where you may want to return.

1. Kamigawa 2. Innistrad

• Question: Hi! How are you? What are you up to? How's Lori doing with the pregnancy? Are you guys still making your tiny house? I read your last thing and was appropriately disturbed! Miss you :) - jajs
• Answer:

  I’m pretty good! Have a comic I wrote coming out in an anthology. Otherwise trying to get ready for babby and get more crazy shit written.

  Tiny house is still a plan, but progress is pretty stunted since Lori’s so pregger.

  Glad you read it! Hopefully I’ll put some more up soon! I miss you too! When are you coming back to Mittenland?
