Guys, I'm sorry if this has already been asked, but how did Kumena manage to find Orazca? Wasn't it magically hidden? I find it odd that if any merfolk could just find it at will, it remained a secret even from themselves for ao long.
Merfolk have always know the "general area" of Orazca, it's just societal doctrine among them to NOT find it and to make sure no one else can either. If they didn't have at least a rough idea of where it was located, they could have ended up accidentally directing a search party TO the city, instead of away from it.
Merfolk also have a far more direct connection with the land/plane of Ixalan than the other groups, so once Kumena took it upon himself to find Orazca it would have been relatively simple for him to locate it.
If anything it's more of a stretch that the others were able to find it so soon after he arrived. EDIT: Admittedly a giant Golden City rising up out of the jungle is about as unsubtle a clue as you get...
Vona: How about... TWO VAMPIRES lol *Mavren Fien's entry music plays*
When I read that I pictured in my head like it was her saying those words then the John Cena theme played while a super buff Mavren Fein crests over the lip of the stairs and then Mavren throws off his cap and it freeze frames with his arm extended and one of those superhero/anime splash screens appears behind him with the words MAVREN FEIN
So, what happens if the Dino's win? Orazca becomes Jurassic Park ?
The Sun Empire gets a massive morale boost, the king/emperor guy uses that to fuel his expansionist ways and they force the River Heralds, Brazen Coalition and Legion of Dusk out. Mad with power and not content with ruling all of Ixalan (the continent) they sail for Torrezzon to wage war against the Legion of Dusk in Ixalan 2: Vampiric Bugaloo with the belief that it is their right/destiny to rule all of Ixalan (the plane).
The only problem is that The Sun Empire and the Dino's are not the same faction.

Sadly I’m assuming that Azor gets killed off due to the fact he’s the last defense of the immortal sun. I wonder how it’ll turn out. Anyone else have theories?
So are Jace and Vraska formally a thing or did he just mind wipe her and move on?

**** this site. I'd delete this account but that doesn't seem to be an option. The mods here are ******* useless ********s who ban people for simple ass normal words. **** them and **** this site.

Nothing happened yet, but the spoilers imply Jace will lock Vraska's memories away to protect her from Bolas, but will probably get them back when they meet again. Oath of Vraska is still on the table.
So... And I'm the only one here who still cheers for a "Jace x Lili" happy ending?
I even find the relationship Jace and Vraska interesting, but I see no future in this because liliana is the only one where the "true" Jace has some love interest (and is reciprocated, even if it is in a strange way). Besides the fact that Lili is a more interesting character than Vraska.
And I do not even need to say i've always liked our blue mind sculptor. I'm glad to see him back with all his thoughts (or part of them). I liked this "new Jace" of Ixalan, but found it a bit silly.
Jace and Lily’s relationship isn’t healthy for Jace or Lily. Someone using someone else isn’t a good relationship. Also, the color relationship between blue and black has an inherent lack of trust.
I wants Jace/Vraska and Lily/Chandra. Wizards gave us a gay couple with Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis. Now they should give us a lesbian couple, with the art of Steve Argyle.

For the purpose of the geocaching event, they really are. Dinosaurs are not a unique faction unto their own, they're a part of the Sun Empire. "Dinosaurs" is just shorthand in the same vein that "Merfolk" means "River Heralds," "Vampires" is "The Legion of Dusk," and "Pirates" is "The Brazen Coalition." Semantics.
Dinosaurs are mindless embodiments of the sun's power, they wouldn't do anything to Orazca by themselves. The Sun Empire's sun priests and shamans control them, so if the dinosaurs "win", so does the Empire.

Well Dino's winning is very likely since they are almost at 210K and second place is pirates with 183K
And I had a theory of what could happen it's probably another lie and it is another "pure mirridon" vs "new phyrexia" moment
For this case the elder dinosaurs become the alpha's of all the dinosaurs and sun empire looses control of them
(If I read the art book leak right the immortal sun is how sun empire is control the elders and bolas took away that power)
So maybe the elders become the alphas and eat the tribe that wins.
That would be cool. Ixalan would be better without the sun empire. Just have a bunch of dinos running free and wild terrorizing the other trides godzilla style

Why would it be better without them? I mean, yes, they were ****s to Angrath and the refugees who later became the Brazen Coalition, and they're an expansionist regime, but I wouldn't want their entire civilization to collapse.
Apparently them using tribe names instead of faction names for the geocaching was a mistake. Is it really so hard to understand that dinosaurs=Sun Empire? Story wise the dinosaurs are not a faction in the race for the city. The Sun Empire, a faction that controls and uses dinisaurs is.
Also: If I remember the art book leaks correctly Huatli is going to connect with Zacama further cementing them as the same as far as this is concerned.

IMO it doesn't make any sense, first of all the Elder Dino's had always lived in the city (as far as we know) so in a way the city belonged to the dinos, second, the River Heralds (faction) already said that they have no interest in the bounty of the city, and they don't want the Sun because they believe no one should have it, so when they say "Merfolk" in the geothing, instead of thinking about the River Heralds i think about Kumena (who is the only merfolk that has any interest in the Sun or the city).
The vampire want the Sun and Elenda they don't give a damm about the city.
So basically the only faction who actually want's the city would be the pirates (and most of them , the OG pirates, don't want the city, they want the Sun to use it against the Dusk Legion)
So i'm sorry, but this whole geocaching thing makes no sense, they should just stop being lazy and write an ending, after reading the Jace/Vraska story, i'm confident they can do an great ending and an amazing Return to Ixalan.

They wrote four endings.
No you guys always screw this up
The ending is the same in all bolas getting the immortal sun
The Ugin theory is given some credence after all. Bolas does NOT know that Ugin still lives, and Ugin wants to keep it that way. but Ugin somehow knowing about Ixalan is a revelation.
Angarth is awesome, and Huatl has accepted that there are worlds outside of her own.
Azor's entrance was as big and epic as it needed to be, and showing no fear of Vraska's stone gaze was bawse.
Jace realizing just how toxic his relationship with Lili has been is an awesome setup for future interactions between the two.
and every time Jace and Vraska talk to each other like two people that genuinely like each other makes y heart ache. I hope in a future block these two get another chance.

Jace will recall fully the Bolas problem and his Guildpact problem at the same time, in audience with Azor.
Jace will convince Vraska the Bolas having the full power of the immortal sun is a bad idea.
Jace will convince Azor that the Sphinx is more qualified to lead Ravnica.
Sphinx will retake spark from Sun and Vraska will willingly be mindwiped to protect herself and knowledge of Jace’s interference from Bolas
Azor leaves for Ravnica, Tezzeret picks up the Sun, which is still powerful but not what Bolas anticipated.
Jace goes to Dominaria
The Vorthos community will await the consequences of the Eldrazi Titans' deaths/sealing. We will keep the watch.

For sure. If i have to bet in a lesbian couple, would be chandra and nissa.
