I found your comic a bit ago and it's really something special. Ive decided to start contributing to more of my favorites on Patreon, and this comic definitely qualifies. Because Im adding several new comics, Im not sure I have the budget to contribute around $4/mo for each of them, so Im trying to start around $1/mo and increase it later if I can. White Noise's patreon is per-page tho so I cant figure out how to contribute an amount less than 1/pg. Have any ideas on a way for me to help anyway?

Hey thank you! It’s funny you ask this now: starting with January, I’m going to move the Patreon over to be per-month instead of per-page. This was in response to Patreon’s plan to implement a new bad fee structure, but they’ve walked that back so now I’m just...doing it. So please check back then!

For everyone else: I don’t plug it very often, but my Patreon is right here. If you like the comic and wanna support it, consider taking a look!

What happens when there's a card whose design you're really proud of ends up being mostly disliked by the community for reasons somewhat unrelated to its design (e.g. they don't like its Development)? How do you try to revive the great design in a well-liked way without evoking players dissatisfaction with the last iteration?

I've tweaked and rereleased designs many, many times.

Can I have some birthday trivia on my favorite Magic card, which is "Thalia, Guardian of Thraben"?

I believe the cards existed as a normal White card before it got turned into Thalia. It was problematic in multiples so making it legendary helped solve that problem. My memory is the card went from a 2W 2/2 to a 1W 2/1 when we switched it to legendary.

Happy Birthday!

Derived information (e.g. how big is your Tarmogoyf) is not necessary to provide in competitive REL, but there's some bits of information that you could track meticulously like "what's in your graveyard." Why isn't "what's in your graveyard" or "how many card are in your hand?" considered derived information even though it's something you could have kept track of from the game's starting position?

Because what cards are in public zones is public information, as is the number of cards in hidden zones. The MTR defines it as such, so it is.
