![]() ![]() Yet Another Æther Vortex is my personal favorite card from Unhinged. In the case of Masterful Ninja, its predecessor was this card: We did something successful in a previous Un- set, so I made something new in Unstable that was similar but with a twist. You'll see a recurring theme in a lot of these stories. (We do it on rare occasions, but usually when legendary matters in some larger way in the set.) I went back and forth and finally decided the rarity mattered more than the awkwardness of having an uncommon legendary card. The one other issue with this card was that I wanted it to be at a low enough rarity that it could matter in Limited, but if it was going to be Krark's Other Thumb, it had to be legendary. ![]() Two seconds later, it hit me and I started yelling, "Krark's Other Thumb! Krark's Other Thumb!" We were in a meeting when I said I wanted something like Krark's Thumb but for dice rolls. We'd decided to have a dice-rolling theme and I wanted to add some cards to help manipulate dice rolls. We actually considered letting you have two, and only two, on the battlefield at a time, but it made coin flipping a little too consistent and we weren't interested in coin flips deciding games, so we went with it being a normal legendary artifact.įast-forward to Unstable's design. It led to a lot of jokes internally about what happened to Krark's other thumb. So it went from Goblin Thumb to Krark's Thumb. Development was worried about it in multiples, so they asked if we could make it legendary.
