Honestly I like the predator Slivers more because it makes Shandalar more or less very unique and establishes that different creatures on different planes could be radically different looking, Examples including Vedalken and Elves.
It used to be that Planeswalkers were these Ageless beings with Near Infinite power, Kind of like The Doctor it made them incredibly Alien even if you could understand them. Like Urza wasn't interesting because he was Super powerful and Super Smart..he was interesting because he was the guy who had to be "The Hero" when he patently fundamentally was not the right man for the job but he did his best to fix a problem he caused anyways.
And those are the people who most insistently tell me how AWESOME Legion was.
On Theros how gods are defined by their worshipers. Really makes killing Heliod and the others completely pointless because after the invasion there wouldn't be any Phyrexians to corrupt them through worship.
It's not like Heliod didn't deserve to get got.
Yeah, but his personality was defined by humanity lol.
Well we know what to do.
You know that's another thing. The old writers knew that the Sylex was OP, and so they supposedly had it destroyed off plane in one of the novels.
Except it wasn't really, sure Urza nuked a continent with it..but that's about it.
That is only because he had his memories wiped when he became Gerrard's Caretaker and he was too much of a braindead retard to ask Jhoria or Teferi about it because both of them Should know because they knew Urza personally for centuries.
The idea of angels and demons as emergent phenomena of white and black mana. Thr idea that there's a pattern of life (?) that keeps rebuilding itself across the universes because of the metaphysics kf those universes is something that piques my interest.
Kheldian elf amazon can take my head whenever she wants.
If Ashiok's experiment is any indicator, a new Heliod (or something similar) will emerge from Nyx soon enough.
It us d to be the history of original kamigawa for me, but it’s shifted to just how much of a dick Urza is. I’ve read more fantasy since I started playing magic, and I’m surprised at just how much the heroic assholes seems to have grown on me as an enjoyable character to watch. Urza outright lying or figuring out how to undermine whatever situation he’s in is just fascinating to me. I am fucking pissed they blacked his wife though, and intend to go read the old comics.
I need this to be real.
technically it would be the furry set, since Bloomburrow spoilers were what side tracked them... what a time line we might live in.
(F)urry (B)Loomburrow (I)nvestigators.
Now I'm just imaging the world becoming YuGiOh...
I would be okay with this.
It also demonstrates the slivers adaptability to their environments.
