Theros Beyond Death fan fiction (based on Wizards' outline)

Hi all, like many others, we have been disappointed by the lack of official story. For more than 8 years, we are running a Czech Magic blog, focused mainly on Vorthos content (stories and flavor, book summaries and reviews), but also to some product reviews for newcomers, etc. After the debacle with...

Re: War of the Spark: Forsaken summary posted on reddit

Seems like a lot of decisions made here are just as disappointing as Weisman's writing capabilities. Yikes. Does Kiora contribute any dialogue, or anything at all in this novel? I really would have utilized her more in opposing Bolas as an aspiring god, given her history. I'd love to know how she r...

Re: War of the Spark: Forsaken summary posted on reddit

Honestly, my biggest issues with this (good summary, btw) is the dissolution of the ships presented at the end of WAR. People were very excited about the Jace/Vraska and the Chandra/Nissa relationships. I was especially disappointed with the handling of Vraska's character throughout the post-Ixalan...

War of the Spark: Forsaken summary posted on reddit

Link Courtesy of user "cherrick" I've finished reading the book and I'd say it was... okay. It feels like an improvement from the previous book and also sowed seeds for future story lines. This is gonna be a very high level overview, mostly touching on the important plot points in each ch...

Looking at Warden of the Chained maybe Klethys and other forgotten gods are imprisoned in the underworld.
Just realized it is Klothys, not Klethys. Not-so-subtle reference to Clotho, the youngest of the Moirai (aka Fates). Also, destiny (of Theros), its mending and stitches are mentioned.

Re: Multiple New Commander products including draftable commander

By the way, the Kamigawa art for the article is most likely Seedborn Muse . What else is monogreen, non-Kamigawan, a Spirit, and worth reprinting? EDIT: Primordial Sage is also an option but the art doesn't look like a 4/5. On the other hand, the art looks quite sage-y, with the cross-legged stance...

Re: Theros: Beyond Death Leak (flavor)

A small addendum on Espeth: if you look the engravings on the wall on the left you have her stabbing Xenagos with her lance. On the right you have her doing the same thing to Heliod with her new spear! (see the leaf crown on the head). This might probably spoil a big part of the plot if it means th...

Theros: Beyond Death Leak (flavor)

As you might have noticed, there was a THB leak tonight. https://www.mtgnexus.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&p=45292#p45292 Some flavor findings: - Sagas are back - The Underworld seem to have also nice looking parts (Ilysia, apparently play on Elysian Fields) - there seem to be non-feral minotaurs (the ...

Changes in product line (PW decks now Core only)

At Salvation, some people noted that Ikoria and Zendikar III do not have PW decks listed. My friend asked Wizards on FB, and the following was confirmed: - After Theros II, PW decks will be Core Set only (and as it seems for Core 2020, only 2 instead of 5) - Brawl decks are ATM a one-shot product fo...

Re: ELD - The Wildered Quest

Considering Will being gay - I think I recall he actually blushes when looking at *Cerise* several times and thinks "how things have been easier when they were younger" . So I do not think he is gay. Considering the Wilds/portal - spot on. For some time, I was left wondering whether the Wi...

Re: ELD - The Wildered Quest

I have read the whole thing today. Some more observations: - I was right about defining the courts. What is interesting is that Embereth does not have a ruler, instead it is ruled by people's assembly (insert inevitable red = communist joke). Linden is probably getting a card. I cannot quite see Alg...

Re: ELD - The Wildered Quest

Thanks for the rundown. Just one question does the novel give any indication about the timing of these events. I'm curious if there is even a throwaway line about the events of War of the Spark or even if Garruk feels the pull of the Interplanar Beacon before being blocked (by Bolas)? I do not thin...

Re: ELD - The Wildered Quest - Preview chapters available

Just a linguistic note - "oko" means "eye" in many Slavic languages. Might be a coincidence, or not. Probably coincidence because the only plane with Slavic tradition is Ravnica and G fairies are not there. Now it is more interesting what will happen with Garruk after destroying...

Kerrick/K'rrik was from Time Streams ; he was trapped in a fast-time bubble and used Urza's falcon engines against Urza, nearly scrambling Urza's concentration and killing him.
