Today's #mtgtrivia question:
What Mirrodin card was designed by pro player Gary Wise?
#WotCStaff
Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia question:
Mindslaver. It was originally the card Helm of Possession, but was changed at the last minute due to rules issues. When working on Mirrodin, I asked the current Rules Manager if it could work and they said yes.
#WotCStaff
Oh, I meant a different card than Soul Foundry. It happened twice.

Today's #mtgtrivia question:
What creature type had over ten cards in the Mirrodin design handoff, but ended up with just one card in the printed set?
#WotCStaff
Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia question:
Soul Foundry. The design, named Clone Machine, was originally in Tempest, but the Rules Manager couldn't template it. I would bring it back in Mirrodin. When I pulled energy out of the set, I put imprint in, inspired by Clone Machine.

Today's #mtgtrivia question:
What card with imprint in Mirrodin was the card whose design inspired the mechanic?
#WotCStaff
Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia question:
Entwine. I came up with it in a dream, realized I was dreaming, woke up, and wrote it down.
#WotCStaff
Today's #mtgtrivia question:
The entwine mechanic from original Mirrodin has a unique quality to how it was created. What is it?
#WotCStaff
Sorry, it's Scourge week. The question is about a Scourge card, not Legions.

Today's #mtgtrivia question:
What Legions card is an anagram of the words "I am <a superhero>" (<a superhero> is a filler for the name of an actual superhero.)?
#WotCStaff
Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia question:
Six (Bladewing's Thrall, Bladewing the Risen, Day of the Dragons, Dragonspeaker Shaman, Dragonstalker & Dragonstorm). The set did have a handful of other cards with Dragon in their names.

Today’s #mtgtrivia question:
Scourge was sold as a set with a Dragon theme. How many cards in the set mechanically reference Dragons in their rules text?
#WotCStaff
Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia question:
Rock Jockey inspired us try to using a land drop as a resource. When that failed, we turned it on its head and rewarded you for using a land drop, thus creating landfall.
#WotCStaff
Today's #mtgtrivia question:
There was a Scourge card that inspired a mechanic in another set. It was super unfun, so we tried an opposite version and it ended up being an all-time popular mechanic. What is the Scourge card and what mechanic did it sort of inspire?
#WotCStaff
Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia question:
Form of the Dragon (designed by Brian Tinsman). Form of the Squirrel showed up in Unhinged, Form of the Dragon in Rivals of Ixalan, and Form of the Approach of the Second Sun in Unfinity.

Oops, a typo. It was Mr. Babycakes.

Today's #mtgtrivia question:
What Scourge card's design would inspire three more cards, one in Unhinged, one in Rivals of Ixalan, and one in Unfinity?

Answer to yesterday's trivia question:
Mr. Babcakes. Forgotten Ancient was the result of the first "You Design The Card" promotion and the design name was made by the person who made the winning rules text submission.

Today's #mtgtrivia question:
What was Forgotten Ancient's design name?
