神河当時 - 忍者と超速攻
2021年4月11日 Magic: The Gathering
But wait, the Ninja talk isn’t over yet. Here’s a few letters in response to “When Ninjas Attack”:Anyone else notice how similar Ninjutsu is to Super Haste?

Homestar,
This might sound odd, but I didn’t think of the similarity until it was pointed out in the thread. I created both mechanics. In each case, I came at the problem from a very different direction. For ninjutsu, I was trying to find a flavorful ability that mimicked the sneakiness of a ninja. For super haste, I was trying to find a mechanic that made sense being called “super haste”. I think the interesting part though is what this says about the creative process. Obviously, deep in my head was this idea about different ways to play a card than we previously had done. Both creative exercises led me to the same section in my head but because I got there from different directions I never noticed the similarity. Very interesting.

以前の記事、忍者のプレビュー（※１）に対する反応です。忍術と超速攻が似ているのでは？という指摘です。
マローは指摘されるまで気付かなかったそうです。私もそうですが。忍術がフレイバー的な理由からデザインされたのに対して、超速攻がメカニズム的な理由からデザインされました。それらが結果的に類似しているというのは、中々面白いことです。
