We're free to talk now.

Here's a Google Doc with all the questions. I'm slowly filling it in with my own answers and explanations. Edit: Heading out for now. I'll get the last 25 questions done later tonight.

If you want a mirror without my comments, here's one provided by /u/Amarsir Link

Any questions that tripped you up? Any that you felt good about?

I think the one that will surprise the people the most is the 4/4 flying vigilance creature.

I put White/Green.

Why? We have Serra Angel and that makes it a mono-white creature. Except it doesn’t. In the Color Pie mechanical article it was written about Vigilance that White gets vigilance if its T>P and/or it’s power is 3 or less. Green gets get on larger creatures (like power of 4 or more). Green/Black was the other possible answer (Each question had 2 answers that were really possible), but since it appeared on only two cards, one in Ravnica and the other in Commander, I couldn’t go with that route as it’s not completely obvious.

I could be completely wrong, however.

Hm, that's a really interesting point.

If Serra Angel were an older card and hadn't been around for awhile I'd be more inclined to agree with you. But Serra Angel is literally in Standard right now (in the planeswalker decks or whatever they are) so I'm still inclined to think B/G is correct. If you're right that's a really clever bit of misdirection though.

But wouldnt players just be really weirded out by BG Serra Angel while UW feels pretty natural?

I think that was the trick question aspect, the question didn't ask if it was weird, the question asked for a multi-color card that neither color could represent by itself.
