[THB] Birth of Meletis

[Marquis]

I. search your library for a basic plains, put it into your hand then shuffle your library.

II. Create a colorless 0/4 wall artifact creature with defender

III. You gain 2 life.

This is... extremely intriguing. Delayed Wall of Omens, I guess? Mono-white getting a bit of mana smoothing doesn't happen that often, so no complaints. Add in a few ways to flicker / bounce / recur it and you have a reasonable way to generate some value.

[The Fluff]

a wall of omens that only draw a plains. Interesting.

And triggers constellation plus interacts with enchantment recursion and tutoring. With Starfield mystic it'll just cost W

Such a simple Saga getting people interested is nice to see. Really small chapters like "Scry 1" and "You gain 2 life." are something I feel is represented more strongly in the new Sagas.

I didn't get it immediately but the Sagas all will depict reliefs and statues etc. (I don't think DOM Sagas ever used a detached statuary) Which is neat and fitting with the idea Ancient Greece, but just a statue of Ephara seems a little unspecific - more like a shrine to Ephara than a commemoration of an event.

I'm all in favor of Wall tokens though.

I get that Ephara art, but the name made me expect another entry in the story of Kynaios and Tiro. I guess all three had a hand in that.

If you notice, the statue depicts Ephara pouring magic onto a plate carrying Meletis itself. That shrine was built because the lore is that Ephara gifted humans the enlightenment and magic to overthrow the archons and their leonin armies to found the city. So the statue credits Ephara for Meletis.

Did Kynaios and Tiro fight the archons to create the city or something along those lines? Or do we not know exactly what their impact was?

They did, and became the rulers of the city, but with Ephara's blessings and assistance.

This card is super interesting, gets you a plains then makes a wall of omens sized body
