Revision as of 11:44, 24 September 2020

The Beeble Scale is a ranking by Mark Rosewater of the likelihood that a given creature type will be reprinted in future Standard-legal sets. The types are ranked from 1 (very likely) to 10 (very unlikely). It is based on the Storm Scale but applies to creature types instead of mechanics.

Descriptive rankings

As described in Storm Scale the following rankings apply:

  • Level 1: Will definitely see again, most likely in the next set
  • Level 2: Will definitely see again, but not necessarily right away
  • Level 3: Will most likely do again, probably many times
  • Level 4: Will most likely do again, but they have issues that make them less of a guarantee
  • Level 5: We need to find the right place to bring it back, but I'm optimistic
  • Level 6: We need to find the right place to bring it back, but I'm a little less optimistic
  • Level 7: It's unlikely to return, but possible if the right environment comes along
  • Level 8: It's unlikely to return, but possible if the stars align
  • Level 9: I never say never, but this would require a minor miracle
  • Level 10: I never say never, but this would require a major miracle
