Title: Set code names.
Post by: JakeyWakey on January 03, 2012, 03:03:22 PM
So mtg r and d make code names for all there sets in advance to releasing them, the innastrad block code names are "shake" "rattle" and "roll". Has anyone ever talked to an mtg developer and asked about the explanation of these code names? I'm so curious!

When you're talking about a "Control" deck, are you talking about permission decks

When you're talking about a "Control" deck, are you talking about permission decks or Ravnica decks?

"Friends" "Romans" "Countrymen" is possibly the sweetest name possible. That's amazing.
