sorry, a bit late to open this thread. I have been busy in other places. But this has been bothering me for sometime now.

in the story, Urabrask, Heretic Praetor has been making improvements to himself, making his body more effective for combat. For example, he now has a blade in each arm, things he did not have before. It sort of feels wrong that he's still the same power toughness as Urabrask, the Hidden.

Interesting question. I will say first off that strength in the lore doesn't correlate as well as we'd all like to p/t - for a prime example look at the team-up legends from March of the Machine, some of which only have the p/t of a single one of their components' past cards. You have to also keep in mind for Urabrask that his body was damaged heading to Capenna, so his rebuild wasn't just about making himself a better combatant, it was basically also just healing. You can think of this as more the excuse for him having different abilities.

If Urabrask does indeed return to the storyline he'll need even more extensive reconstruction on his body (Merciless Repurposing) so he might get a different set of stats in that new card.
Psst, check the second page of Custom Card Contests & Games! Because of the daily contests, a lot of games fall down to there.

Considering P/T rare =/= power in lore I don't think it matters one way or the other really.
