You can tell the top-down design here, where someone asked: If I design a card to be a moat, what would it look like? It might not be the most powerful, especially when decks dont necessarily need to attack to win, but its still cool and combines well with cards that enable flying
It happens to be five colored, which isnt much of a surprise considering youd want a way to represent the entire team of turtles and their maybe conflicting dynamics in a single deck
They can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs
At the time, that design was not universally loved
