    I don't think that will happen since Nahiri is in sutch demand right now. I can see Mysteries/Humans/Monsters vs The madness/Angels/Eldrazi horrors. Or some twist of that type.

    That would just be a remake of Blessed vs. Cursed and we just had that

    I remember that card from a while ago.
    I think we already had it a few months ago. Can't remember the name though. Pretty sure it was red

    You are all confusing white with good. White is not good. White is Balance and Karmic Justice.

    Now, Nahiri's actions aren't something we can judge just yet. We know she's interested in some retribution against Sorin, but is that all she's interested in?

    If her end game was to bring Emrakul into Innistrad to trap her in the Moon, that's very different than simple retribution (that's just icing). Avacyn's madness was a necessary evil, in that case. She needed to remove the final barrier protecting Innistrad from Emrakul, so that she could enter the plane and be trapped there.

    What is more of a balancing of the scales than imprisoning the Eldrazi on the world of the person who set them free? Especially if that's the only known world that could hold them.

    If her end game was simply to lead Emrakul to Innistrad next, well then she's a genocidal monster.

    The intent is very important here. While Nahiri was trapped, Sorin allowed the only prison capable of holding the Eldrazi to be destroyed. If she suspects that the Moon has the same properties as the Helvault and could be used to imprison Emrakul, what she has done is nothing compared to what an Emrakul loose on the Multiverse would do. Remember, THIS is what Sorin was casually dismissive of. Sorin didn't just break a promise, he risked the entire multiverse and dooming Nahiri's home, and then almost definitely doomed it by imprisoning Nahiri indefinitely.

    At no point do any of these actions make Nahiri 'good', but is she more evil than she and Sorin would be to let the Eldrazi free again?


    Can I just say: I wish more people on here were like you

    Nahiri is not just mad, she is past the point of despair. She didn't help on Zendikar because she thought there was no way to save it. The Hedron Network was down, the Eldrazi loose, and Bala Ged was laid waste. She believes her world is beyond saving and is instead focusing herself towards the person responsible: Sorin Markov.

    Wonder how she's gonna handle the news that Zendikar is saved and recovering...


    Why would she even care? Its not like the damage has been undone. Its not like its any less Sorin's fault.

    Yes, but it also is no longer doomed and while Zendikar is still very much damaged, it is recovering

    ..., why would Avacyn not start the purge with Thraben, Innistrad's largest city? Wouldn't that make more sense?
    You're talking about a mad Angel here and you want it to make sense? I'm not sure you have thought that through Smile

    We don't really know how the Angels operate as of yet. All we know is that where they appear nothings left in the end. Also Avacyn's judgment seems way off. So maybe really rotten humans seem not so bad to her, while pure ones appear rotten


    You could very well be right, but I'd hope that we'd at least get something further from her point of view before she meets her end. And we may very well, but so far it's like Dark Ascension all over again with Avacyn being mostly absent as the world turns to ash.
    I agree. Personally I don't necessarily need another story from her point of view, but at least something from the angels point of view (Bruna and/or Gisela would be nice) is something I really want to see.
