[C19] Tahngarth, First Mate (The Vorthos Cast)

[Rumpy5897]

More Weatherlight stuff, as promised

[DirkGently]

%$#%, I just went through the old weatherlight saga legends trying to figure out who was left, and I was feeling confident I'd nailed it with tahngarth. I guess now you'll just have to take my word for it.

[void_nothing]

Fun with commander damage kills, perhaps?

[RtKART]

He went from a cool interesting looking character to a generic Minotaur. I like his abilities but I will have to alter that art to something more like his original multi-horned glory.

[CommanderMaster999]

Just like gerrard way better than the first card

You could cause easy commander damage K.O with this version

[Atraxian]

This renews my hope for a new Orim.
Then possible a new Selenia and a new Radiant soon.

[Maluko]

Called it! I'm guessing Tsabo Tavoc will be the new legend in the madness deck.

Nice one, I'm always happy to see a card that can help defeat the top dog at the table. Although I wasn't expecting Tahngarth to have a green identity, to be honest.

[DirkGently]

"Hmm, well I need to draw a card with my shadowmage infiltrator, so I guess I'll attack you, Bill. I'm really sorry about the one damage but I really need the card"
"Yeah btw bill, tahngarth's gonna hit you for 15. Sorry it's just that I'd really like to kill you."

Called it! I'm guessing Tsabo Tavoc will be the new legend in the madness deck.

Isn't it v'rrik?

"Original"? The card depicts Tahngarth as he originally looked - Volrath tortured and surgically altered him when he was captured on Rath resulting in how he looked during the Invasion. This is the young, brash, and vital Tahngarth with more green aspects to his personality as opposed to the more resentful and hardened monored version of his first card.

That's what he looked like before Volrath warped his body. See Tahngarth's Rage and the Tahngarth Vanguard card.

[The_Greasy_Strangler]

Cool card. But by Torahn's horns that art ghastly.

[SecretInfiltrator]

It is today I realize that Tahngarth doesn't receive his iconic white look until he is tortured on Rath and that the other decorated brown-(furred?/skinned?/leathered?) Minotaur seen in the illustrations of some older cards hanging out with the Weatherlight-crew is actually Tahngarth before being mutated - the pretty boy of Talruum.

Okay, that helps to understand the extend of his revulsion at his own sight. I thought all he got was some pretty metal dreadlocks, but he got an entirely different body-type.

After all this time. Wow. I love that the art makes that distinction.

[CommanderMaster999]

Called it! I'm guessing Tsabo Tavoc will be the new legend in the madness deck.

I'm sorry the correct safe bet is a new and improved Crovax he's a vampire and vampire tribal has Ben the sub theme of madness

As far as I am aware the Weatherlight Saga characters are reimagined cards from earlier printings whereas I don't think K'rrik has had a card before now.

[CalebLost]

Isn't it v'rrik?

Maro in the Volrath preview said that the 2 missing Weatherlight Saga characters were ones that had a previous card (Tahngarth is the third) but K'rrick never had a card so a 4th is still missing. Or maybe he just got confused and K'rrick is the 4th Saga character

I was gonna correct you, but apparently many people here know the lore too.

Tangarth was considered a very beautiful Minotaur by his tribe and himself, and he took great pride in it. Because he's also a very powerful warrior, his pride was over the top and led to his capture and torment in Volrath's hand. Volrath tortured Karn and force the pacifist to kill, while mutated Tangarth because the bull loved his own appearance.

Volrath is a sick bastard, I love him.

EDIT: And, consider how artists these days all try to put too much muscle onto minotaurs, I'm glad this one remains faithful to the character's original design; fit, agile, smoother. I don't like the eyes though, it's too generic compare to older art like, say, Pete Venters.

[SyntheticDreamer]

I'm loving me some pre-mutation Tahngarth. I don't know how practical this is, but combat should be a lot of fun.

[theMarc]

I'm still mad that they threw him under the bus to be replaced by Crovax.

I also thought about Crovax, but he has had three printings so far, while Tsabo has only had one. Nevertheless, both are legit guesses. Let's wait and see.

[Mookie]

Seems pretty interesting. 5/5 for 4 with a not-quite-evasion ability is a very respectable body. Throw in the ability to attack multiple times in a turn cycle and you have an interesting voltron commander. May require some way to force your opponents to attack each other though - not a lot of those in green, but red has access to some goad cards, such as Disrupt Decorum, alongside other ways to force attacks. An interesting inclusion in Thantis, the Warweaver.

I think this is Tahngarth before the torture and mutilation.

Funny thing, I still like the old Tahngarth, except for red being the last color I'd give vigilance to. But this design is actually pretty good, especially since you're in the colors for Madcap Skills, Goblin War Drums, etc.

[Candlemane]

Give him vigilance with Eternal Warrior, because.

I like how they kept his flavor of having basically the fight mechanic by making it so he can only be blocked by one creature. Him and Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist might have good times together.

Your right that he looks like the pre-mutilation one, I had honestly forgotten how he looked in the first place but I really loved the corrupted appearance of Minotaur and the this just seems like it could be any Minotaur from Theros or anywhere else.

You like the mutilated version? That is what you'd say, VOLRATH.
