What the hell are you smoking? Duskmorn lore is terrible. It's essentially an excuse for an evil haunted house trying to ruin your day with zero thought given to how the fuck people survive for longer than 5 minutes.

Valgavoth's thing is keeping the people inside alive and afraid. He draws power from fear, so he needs to keep the survivors alive for as long as possible. Killing a few at a time just ups the tension.

It's pretty much the same as Innistrad with Sorin. He made Avacyn in response to the inevitable extinction of humanity, as it would lead to the starvation of the vampires and their inevitable death as well. As long as their continued existences are insured the casualties don't matter.

That being said the Wanderor and a bunch of mortals shouldn't have ever posed such a threat to him, but at that point the alternative is to just let them go for reasons.

Actually now that you mention it, Valgavoth is just a poor Yawgmoth sequel (being trapped in and in control of a plane) and Duskmourn is just the original Phyrexia only more family friendly.

You mean Yawgmoth ThreeQuel..

cause we had Mommy Norn and her instantly vanishing army as the Yagmoth Sequel.

Why are they bringing back manifest once more? No one likes that mechanic.

Hey now, megamorph was the best mechanic R&D ever made and I can’t finish typing this with a straight face.

I think, in a surprising bout of thinking about the sets impact on standard, WoTC wanted to provide more facedown cards to standard to help bolster some of the bad MKM cards up into the realm of playable. I’m betting we’ll be seeing a simic flipper deck in the near future, and it’s an interesting thing to do to the meta game.

Norn is a "sequel" as the leader of phyrexia, but not as a demigod bonded with and in control of a horror plane.

When you flip that one card you really wanted; Manifest Destiny

There is no weird elemental named Destiny yet, but I can dream.

Also the new Kaito is straight busted. He's a competent beat stick your opponents have to spend their turns removing.

If you have enough cards, make him bigger and hit harder.

If there's something in your way, soft remove it and hit.

Need cards? Hit your opponent and draw filtered cards. That's every opponent btw, so EDH players go nuts.

We're in the year of high-concept sets and WotC has consistently fumbled the ball.


What we were promised with Duskmourn, H.R. Giger illustrates Dante's Inferno:

What we actually got, Ghostbusters, but with fags and niggers:

What I don't get is how those machines are still around and ticking. The House consumed the plane generations ago, that would make manufacturing electronics and most mechanical devices impossible as there would be no factories. Same goes for the gas, batteries, and electricity needed to run them. If it were something like a gun which used case ammunition and was taken care of maybe, but we don't see anything like that.

Stuff that don't feature any humans looks allright. Spooks look spooky.
You wanna know what we do with the spooks around here?
The spooks glow in the dark. You can see them if you're scanning.

You just exorcise them with the might of german phylosophy. That's what you do.

Remember Kaldheim? The "metal Viking" set, featuring a black Mary Sue and a literal canon enby with a soul patch?
It's best to keep your expectations low with WOTC handling concepts that could make for good cards.

I don't think Kaito as an aggro creature is that problematic, He lacks Gideon's Damage prevention and is still a planeswalker so he can lose Counters if he is blocked I think.

All the Gideons have the damage prevention because of this, and the Sarkhan that transforms into a dragon loses his Planeswalker type as part of the transformation, It is a snowbally as fuck card though, if you can't instantly kill him..he ends up becoming a real problem akin to the 4 Mana Gideon from BFZ.
