Just a few questions. 1) If you guys were going to redesign blue for a more or less contemporary Magic environment, what aspects of its color pie would you guys push/weaken in order to ensure that it's both powerful, but also not boring like CMU Blue was? 2) What are your thoughts on the Disney/Marvel merger? Not Magic related, but I know BDM and Flores are pretty big comic people so… 3) Why do you think Magic has lasted so long? I’m Paul from California.

Just a few questions.

Just a few questions. 1) If you guys were going to redo blue, in a way that's both fun but still not completely devoid of funness, what aspects of blue would you guys push/weaken? 2) What are your thoughts on the Disney/Marvel merger? Not Magic related, but I know BDM and Flores are pretty big comic people so... 3) Why do you guys think Magic has been so enduring? I’m Paul from California.

While Baneslayer Angel fits this bill, it unfortunately became one of the best creatures in the T2 format and became a sought after rare at an exorbitant price. As someone who is somewhat closely affiliated with WotC (but not involved in their departments), I would like to ask what are your opinions on WotC printing utility Mythic Rares (i.e. Lotus Cobra, Mindbreak Trap, etc)? Are WotC breaking their promise that Mythics should never be a 'staple' card (i.e. Dual lands, Utility like Maelstrom Pulse, etc)? As a MtG fan, I was very dissapointed that Lotus Cobra was printed at Mythic Rare and I believe I am not the only one who feels this way. 2) This may sound cliche, but what cards from Zendikar do you consider "sleeper hits" (i.e. Tarmogoyf, Windbrisk Heights, etc from previous sets)? ;) Hi, I’m Alif Cheng from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and I have a couple of questions.

I know people across the world must be experiencing the same thing. Do you think wizards might be taking the success of EDH into consideration from a future card design perspective? Or even more perhaps one day sanctioning EDH? Also whats been your craziest EDH play? Alex, Albuquerque NM
