"Empires of Jamuraa"
Suq'Ata Firewalker, taken from EchoMTG, by David O'Connor and Wizards of the Coast
Theme
It's Deep Magic Lore Month here in the CCL and we'll be treating one of my favorite parts of old-school Magic lore in this round - the three major states of northwest Jamuraa at the center of the Mirage Block story, Femeref, Suq'Ata, and Zhalfir (the last of which sadly is gone in the modern era).
Challenge
- Make sure to include a rarity.
- If you're not familiar with the topic of the round, please consult these articles on Femeref, Suq'Ata, and Zhalfir, as well as searching a card database for cards with those words in their names.
- The demonym for Femeref is "Femeref" and for Suq'Ata is "Suq'Ata" - for Zhalfir it's "Zhalfirin" so using that form of the word counts towards the challenge.
Special note: Due to this being a busy month for many people in terms of traveling, seeing family, working overtime, school/university finals, et cetera, a lot of deadlines have been extended. In this case I am explicitly planning to not begin the final round until the beginning of January!
