LMAO at Melek's unease around Ral.

Well it's unanimous that we may have the pattern for the answers of each puzzle could related to puzzle 13

All the answers is a random card from any ravnica set. But we see what's in common in the MKM cards there's something incorporated from art of the answer cards into a MKM card

Case 1: Murder Investigation → Homicide Investigator (the body + knives)

Case 2: Showstopper → Meddling Youths (the mask)

Case 3: Cult Guildmage → Case of the Stashed Skeleton (the Jace puppet)

Case 4: Dimir Informant → Furtive Courier (the letter)

Case 5: Saruli Caretaker → Reckless Detective (the Acorn)

Case 6: Treasured Find → Extract a Confession (the Skull on the chain)

Case 7 Perilous Forays → Novice Inspector (the map)

Case 8: Keymaster Rogue → The Pride of Hull Clade (the door ring/knocker)

Case 9: Nikya of the Old Ways → Glint Weaver (Animal Skull/Staff remains)

Case 10: Cry of Contrition → Granite Witness (same gargoyle statue)(bottom right)

Case 11: Tithe Drinker → Leering Onlooker (the thrulls on the sides)

Case 12: Hatching Plans → Out Cold (the egg like object)(it's in the frozen monsters hand)

Clearly it related to solve case 13 but how? we don't know. But the best theory is you spell the names of the items in the photos that match up and make a word In blue squares just like cases 4/6/7

Jace while in disguise (mask) is being puppeteered into murdering (body+knives) somebody after receiving a message from someone we think is dead (skull).

This entity is doing this to open the door to its prison and find a way out (map), while avoiding the watchful sentry (gargoyle) and its minions (thrulls).

The entity is from an Un-set (Acorn).

Urza's head is trying to enter legal MtG.

Case 12 is Hatching Plans which links to Out Cold with the egg like object how does an egg connect to that.

Bolas will be reborn as a hatchling Urza's head is going to pop out from an egg, like a chick. A magical egg, yeah.

There was this old MtG novel which involved using Dragon eggs as bombs, and while Dragons are extremely rare on Ravnica (although recently more have been popping up, like Utvara Hellkite), a big plot point in one of the Guildpact novels is the discovery of viable Dragon eggs.

So, the explosive power of Dragon eggs is going to used to fuel Bolas' escape Urza's entry into the canon.

Looks like Niv-mizzet is attempting to turn ravnica into what domnaria was before the mending. Aka trying to turn ravnica into mtg's Sigil in D&D world (portal of doors which connects to every single plane in the D&D world) I think he's attempting to once and for all end the mending.

Which is also what Kylox's secret project was and one member of each guild is in on his project

ps: yes niv was very well aware that trostani (one third) was infact the killer he had this project as a bigger priority to do rather than dealing with oba.

For those wonder on the solution to puzzle thirteen

you Gather one letter from each solution MKM corresponding card into the word to make a sentence

the objects in the answer cards that are in the MKM cards indicate which MKM you need the letters from the put the cases in particular order.

when you gather all the letters it makes the sentence... *Drum roll*

"The way is open" (no spaces in the answer box) once you type that it will give you the link for the epilogue story

Drink ya Ovaltine, kids!

Etrata was seriously considering when was the best time to knock out Proft and retreat. "Apologies, Firemind, but he is delirious you see, from lack of sleep. Overwork. His mind has collapsed."

I was hoping for a bit more than that, but ah well. At least the reward was an actual epilogue, thus a bit more satisfying than "Remember this: They came as three."

Interesting.

Niv is incorrigible in terms of interest in extraplanar stuff. I remember when the prevailing theory from Ravnica block 1 onward was that he was trying to artificially create his own PW spark.
