You’ll find a myriad of combo decks featuring tribes like Slivers and Elementals, but you’ll also find everything from Zuberas to Mercenaries. For examples of this just scroll through some Morophon decks on Moxfield. While it is undeniably a powerful card, it also supports weaker themes that are likely to never get any direct support from WotC. Morophon represents the middle of the scale here. ![]() Take our first of the three cards we’ll discus today for example Pet cards, unusual strategies, and completely janky themes are an integral part of what makes EDH the special beast that it is! But this is also where the duality of utility and intention comes into play. It’s an aspect of the game somewhat lost in more competitive, meta-driven, formats but something that thrives in EDH. This is an important part of Magic as a game, the concept of decks representing their pilots. Magic players are wild people who will make decks whether or not there is any official support for them. To start, let's get the framework established. These three cards are Morophon, Golos and Sisay from Modern Horizons To do this, let’s take a look at three different cards that are all meant to fill similar roles, and while each succeeds, they do so to varying degrees that change their reception and usage to insane degrees. This article will be using EDH as its reference point, but the lessons apply to all formats. This month I want to discuss two of the subtler parts of Magic design that highlight the tricky balance we have to strike as designers Utility and Player Intention. I hope you’ll all stick with us through that change. I’ll still write the occasional lore or general topic article, but CCC will mainly now be about design. I want to focus more on the design aspects of Magic, concepts and ideas that will help us all in our journey to create the best Magic cards we can. Before getting into this month’s article I want to quickly discuss a small change to CCC.įor most of CCC’s time it’s sort of been my place to write about whatever MTG thing caught my fancy that month, but I’d like to give it a more consistent tone starting from here forward. As always I’m East2West, and this is Coast to Coast Casual.
