trailofpapers asked: As one of those people who liked Time Spiral, could you create an "expert level" product for those of us who enjoy comprehension complexity? Maybe an alternate core set (Master's edition V?) drawing from all of magic's history, with an emphasis on limited play. Or is the payoff too low for that much effort?

fangfabio asked: From today's column: "I didn't talk about the exile zone because I thought (and mostly still do) that it's only a zone for things to go to, not from." What do you think of Runic Repetition, then? Do you like it? Or is it another card you fought against, like Hornet Sting?
