Thanks a lot. I've read the Artifact Cycle starting at The Thran, and I'm currently at Bloodlines. Still have much to go! Is there any youtube channel or text summary of the Invasion, Otaria, and Time Spiral storylines?
I'm loving this set! Although I've read some things in the wiki about most of these past events, I'm still reading Bloodlines, so I don't know most stuff in detail.
Why is it that Nicol Bolas fears the Umezawa name so much? Wasn't it just one guy who had a lot of luck and managed to kill him? Speaking of that, how did all-so-wise-and-mighty-Lord-Nicolas allow himself to be killed by this one human?
Also, what was Bolas doing before claiming Madara? Why didn't he take over Dominaria?
At the end of Time Streams, in Serra's palace, how exactly does Urza avoid death? How do the stones save him? Is it Glacian himself who restores him? It wasn't very clear - where the stones separated again, or are they whole inside his head?
Why would it be so? Gix tells the monks that his name is Gix even before probing their minds and knowing who they were.
Theory: The monks had a different name throughout the ages, but started getting visions when the brothers first took the stones. Hearing the name "Gix", they took it for their own order.
How can it be that there was a Monastery of Gix before the portal from Dominaria to Phyrexia was reopened? Is it possible Gix managed to send dreams prior to this? Or perhaps it was some cult he set up way back before the fall of Halcyon?
What was the other Planeswaker that the Umezawas dealt with besides Bolas?
And, do we have any idea if Urza and Bolas ever met or dealt with each other either directly or by proxy?

No one is actually speaking English after all.
I think.
Anyway, how is it that Phyrexia went to other worlds besides Dominaria? Who opened hose portals?
Also, why did Yawgmoth go into slumber?
Why did the Weakstone and Mightstone become lodged into Urza's head when he ascended?
