    Hey fellow vorthoses, I’m DMing a D&D campaign set in MTG and I need to know how long Jace was absent from his friends, from the ending of Hour of Devestation, to when he reunited with Gids on Dominaria.

    This would help me a lot, I imagine it to be 3 months but am not sure.
    I've asked this question in the past and 2 to 3 months is what the answer was. He spent at least a week on Useless Island, took a day hike to gage the Island's size, five to build his raft and gather supplies, one day he didn't do anything due to dispare, and spent several days building tools( at least three), four days at sea and on More Useless Island before Vraska found him. At least eight days after Vraska found him before the raid on the vampire ship, five days from their to High and Dry.Weeks from there to Ixalan's shores and a day or two to reach Orazca.

    So I've got a count of 28-29 for sure days, and a number of unknown weeks.


    From when he first woke up on Useless Island till Vraska found him was 40days.

    From The Talented Captain Vraska:
    The galley around them dissolved. Vraska remained seated in her chair, but now sat in a grove of bamboo taller than the masts of her ship. Jace sat in his chair, eyes aglow, and began an illusory summary of his last forty days. Vraska watched as bamboo changed to pristine sand. Rain sprinkled down on an imaginary fire and a very dead fish. She watched him learn to hunt and scavenge, build and survive. The gorgon sipped her tea and marveled at both the beauty of Jace's island and the plethora of things Jace had learned while he was there. He smiled as he showed her what he had learned and built. He clearly delighted in filling the empty gaps in his knowledge, and his enthusiasm was contagious. It was incredible that he constructed fish hooks, a platform, a raft. Vraska finished her tea by the end of the tour, and the island faded back to the familiar wood of the galley.


    So I'd say 2 months is the absolute minimum he could have been on the plane.
    Can't believe I missed that 40 day line.

    On Teferi's slow ageing, He was caught in a slow time bubble and while he was in there, he technically sparked( he was unaware of his change and aged normally after that solely because he though he should). When he was returned to being mortal, his body may have still had some imprint of temporal energy that rendered his now mortal body slow aging. Him being at the heart of a time rift may have also caused his slow aging.

    I really doubt whatever Urza hid in his impossible puzzle has anything to do with Teferi phasing out Zalfir and Shiv. Teferi did that right at the start of the invasion and Urza had a lot on his plate; hordes of Phrexians, two key nations now out of play, a need to replace Teferi in his roster of Mecha Walkers.

    What we have here is either something Urza invented or something he found( Thran Artifact perhaps) that he reckoned Teferi could make the most of, but didn't want him to have free reign over it, so he makes a puzzle Teferi couldn't solve, not without help

    I really don't want to start complaining, because scramming more references to old or obscure lore is hardly possible, but does anyone else miss certain things? Not a single dwarf, viashino, kor, nantuko or cephalid or at least their fate (considering the Rift Era they could have totally gotten away with making the otarian races extinct), no mention of Sarpadia outside of the homarid, which was a historic piece of information, not something about the continent's modern state. Also poor Caliman was completely ignored both in flavour text, art and supplementary materials.

    Like, again, I don't mean to complain, but it felt a bit odd for such a rich setting like Dominaria to go through the card gallery and see 95% benalish cards in white and 90% tolarian cards in blue. It feels like Jamuura, the largest continent, specifically was largely left out apart from the odd reference here and there.
    Yeah the whole story so far as been in the far west of the ma; Aerona, Urborg, Borgadan, Tolaria West, with only a token nod to New Argive. Given that Shiv was untouched by the Phirexian War, was mostly unaffected by the Rift crisis( as it came back because its local rift was closed) and had the Mana Rig to produce powerstones and Thran Metal, why hasn't it become the world superpower?

    looking thought card gallery, sees Primordial Wurm Huh, the Carhalion line lives on, in exile apparently. We're never going to know why though, most likely.

    She might not be able to planeshift now, but with Jhoira and Karn's expertise and history with the ship and Venser's notes on the Phyrexian wrecks,they could probably restore that ability. Hell,they can tap Rashmi's mind if they have too.

    Is it just me or have we seen not a single dwarf so far?
    Forget Dwarves, what about the Viashino?

    I'm unsure what moment Primevals' Glorious Rebirth is supposed to depict. Weren't they each revived individually during Invasion block?
    Three were revived, with Darrigaaz being a reincarnated fourth. They sac'd themselves to revive Crosis, who then revived the others.

    I find it funny Jodah's aping Karona's floating cross legged pose.

    Oh, wow. Those are all terrific. Will love to know Muldrotha's background given that flavor text.
    I think she's the manifestation of the Yavimaya transplant in Urborg.

    Nice...still not a fan of random daughter though. And does imply that Resparked Teferi can cancel the normal aging process.

    And again I am really wondering wtf Jodah is doing. Belzenlok wasn't relevant in the past unless they retcon him in so he shouldn't be all that powerful. Thus,I am still confused why the supposed Archmage Eternal who was always dragging Oldwalkers for incompetence and ignoring the little guys decided to do absolutely nothing with all the relevant Oldwalkers off the stage (death, off plane or desparked) while Belzenlok is out collecting dangerous artifacts and conquering the plane. It was Jodah's time to shine and he is going to need one heck of an excuse not to look like the plane's greatest hypocrite.
    I really hope Jodah's been doing something to counter the Cabal. I feel he's grown used to doing things alone, as before Jhoira, the only beings as old as him were Walkers who he has issues with.

    Actually now that I think about it my analysis of Jhoira crew selection was worse then I thought. She built this party with no plans to bring a mage at all since she lucked into Raff. Its like she wants to play on hard mode.
    Given that Jhoira was waiting for Ajani, could she have counted on him to bring in the Gatewatch?
