Codename

From Magic: The Gathering Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Throughout Magic's history, expansion sets have been given codenames when under design, well before a set's theme, identity, and lore have been solidified. This allows expansion developers and designers to work ahead further than any other section in the company, and still have terminology to refer to the set as a whole.[1]

History

This practice was put into place starting with the Alliances expansion set; codenames for previous sets were simply the name of the set.[2][3] Codenames are chosen by the head designer, Mark Rosewater.[4] The codenames are designed to not have any connection to the mechanics of the set they refer to. They are selected before the designers even know what the set will be about.[5]

The Masques block was the first instance of all the codenames of the sets in a block being connected; the Onslaught block was the first to have the codenames be assigned in a order, typically referencing something in popular culture. When it was announced there would be a change in the number of sets per block from three to two starting with "Blood", the codenames that had already been released for the unannounced sets became decoupled from their previous block.[6]

To make things easier internally, a new codename naming system was introduced in 2017. It follows a single theme (currently sports) alphabetically.[7] That way everyone at Wizards of the Coast will know what comes before and after what.[8]

Codenames for expansions

Block Expansion Codename Notes
Ice Age Alliances Quack Reference to a Macintosh sound file.
Mirage Mirage Sosumi Reference to a Macintosh sound file of the same name. Initial codename was "Menagerie".
Visions Mirage Jr. Thought of as Mirage's offspring. Real name was established very close to the start of development.
Weatherlight Mochalatte A favorite type of coffee of a friend of the designers.
Tempest Tempest Bogavhati A "gross misspelling" of Bhogavati, a place in Indian mythology said to be inhabited by poisonous snakes, about the set's poison theme that would later be dropped from the set in development. This codename would be used as the namesake of Vhati il-Dal.[9][10]
Stronghold Rachimulot Reference to the card "Richemulot" in the Dungeons & Dragons Spellfire CCG.
Exodus Gorgonzola Favorite cheese of Bill Rose.
Urza's Urza's Saga Armadillo

Fate Reforged Dewey
Dragons of Tarkir Louie
Battle for Zendikar Battle for Zendikar Blood Popular phrase and 1960s American jazz band.
Codenames were released before the change from three sets per block to two was announced, after which the codenames were decoupled from their respective blocks.
Oath of the Gatewatch Sweat
Shadows over Innistrad Shadows over Innistrad Tears
Eldritch Moon Fears With the "Tears" overlap, a reference to the English new wave band of the same name.
Kaladesh Kaladesh Lock The sets per block change also disrupted this trio of previously announced codenames, a common figure of speech.
Aether Revolt Stock
Amonkhet Amonkhet Barrel
Hour of Devastation Laughs This used to be "Monkeys", with the "Barrel" overlapping a reference to the "barrel of monkeys" idiom.
It was changed for an internal reason.[14] Now referencing a "barrel of laughs", something or someone very funny.
Ixalan Ixalan Ham A hearty breakfast. The food theme for the following sets used the order of meals, so people would know the order of the blocks as well.
Rivals of Ixalan Eggs
— Dominaria Soup A light lunch. Codenames released before the change to the Three-and-One Model. Later Dominaria became its entity. The second set was replaced by Core Set 2019.
Cancelled Salad
"Guilds of Ravnica" Guilds of Ravnica Spaghetti An Italian-American dinner.[15]

— War of the Spark Milk A midnight snack.[16] After the introduction of Three-and-One Model, "Cookies" was replaced by Core Set 2020.[17][18][19]
Cancelled Cookies

Sports

From Throne of Eldraine forward alphabetical themes are used, currently sports.[8] Although Mark Rosewater initially said he had a list of A through Z[7]. He later stated that sports V through Z were too difficult to name, and probably would change to another list after U;[20] Later, however, it was decided to just skip X rather than stopping after U[21][22]. Note that these are only used for in-universe sets, while Universes Beyond sets are given codenames that are fruits or vegetables.[23]

Kaldheim Equestrian[29]
Strixhaven: School of Mages Fencing[30]

because it was conceived after the following codenames were already established.[32][20]

Cities

With the completion of the sports naming convention, set codenames restarted at "A" using a new theme based on cities, or occasionally other places, around the world.[52][53][54][55][56] As with the previous sport-based codenames, these are only used for in-universe sets, with Universes Beyond sets using a separate system.[23]
