For me, as a veteran, it is, and always was, about the community, not the name. I'll go where the people I like to talk to, and the staff that did such amazing work, are going.
If the staff moves to Nexus, I'll follow, like I went from News to Sally 14 years ago.

Caranthir posted a message on Dominaria Retrospective by Mark WintersGreat article!Posted in: Articles
Though I am a little sad that after Kelly Digges, I see that another man highly responsible for the gem that is Dominaria left Wizards.

Caranthir posted a message on Dominaria Spoiler Digest - Who's Who and What's What from the Release NotesPosted in: ArticlesQuote from Formless_One »No, the Baron Sengir and Grandmother Sengir come from Ulgothra. However, Grandmother Sengir is actually a planeswalker named Ravi who knew the Baron when he was young and as I understand it before he was a vampire. Then she went insane after pulling an Urza and blowing up most of Ulgothra. But the plane has a planar portal that most likely connects to Dominaria, and who knows? Maybe the Baron and his "Grandmother" did some traveling around the Multiverse at some point.
The Baron is NOT from Ulgrotha. He is from an unknown plane, he was brought to Ulgrotha by an unknown walker and stranded there. He might be originally from Dominaria, as we seen Sengir vampires there...but there is not enough info either to confirm or dismiss it.
Granny is a former planeswalker and one-time friend of the Baron who had a hand in him becoming vampire. See here: https://mtg.gamepedia.com/Ravi

odah's paragraph is quite wild.
"(Jodah) was also present during the Phyrexian Invasion and helped restore Urza's sanity during that time" - this is wholly incorrect, where you got it?
- one of the primary contributous to Worldspell - not quite, he had to provide his mirror and was forced to utilize (and in the process, consume) the safe havens to distribute the excess energy of the spell to prevent another Sylex Blast.
It is debatable, whether Evra, Halcyon Witness is what we think. After all, we have seen Halcyon Glaze. But using this very particular name on Dominaria and NOT tying it to THE Halcyon would be immensely stupid.
Kolo Meha was above all a Bogardan fire mage, but with ties to Madara, of course.
Gix was not Glacian's kíller. He attacked and wounded him, but Yawgmoth "killed" him by his treattment. -

Caranthir posted a message on Dominaria Spoiler Digest - Who's Who and What's What from the Release NotesSome minor corrections:Posted in: Articles
- Primevals' rebirth was one of the climaxes of Planeshift,not Invasion
- Karn's Temporal Sundering is probably the time machine explosion also depicted on Sunder, not the Tolarian rift closure.
- Sagas get counters on the beginning of the precombat main phase
- Mirari was just one of Karn's probes, and a faulty one (it shouldn't be leaking power)

Caranthir posted a message on Ixalan Story Interview with Alison LuhrsLoving it. Amazing read.Posted in: Articles
The most interesting thing for me is the reveal of intentional use of farce structure and themes for the story. It makes PERFECT sense. And explains a lot. -

Losing Miles had to hurt, indeed. I like your choice of team....playing with Miles and Phobeya together is one of my preferred combinations. Just add Harass and you got my fav "supervillain" team. But Sil is powerful with any high-damage super character. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Sorry pal, but these are making so MUCH sense considering the nature of the Doctor Who series.
And each single one of these has a lore meaning, Amy's House, that you are mocking here, a big one, for example.
If it breaks the immersion, simply DO NOT PLAY WITH THEM. Problem solved.
Generally, these are SO SWEET for Whovians. oozing with flavor.
Weeping Angels turning to stone when somebody casts a spell. Gallifrey Stands meaning a win when you have 13 Doctors on board. Gallifrey Falls/No More as the ultimate moment in Day of the Doctor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_0pio5Y5Tg).
This has the potential to be the same hit as W40K.
Yep, that was what I meant. After all, we know he will be with daddy Oko in Outlaws of Thunder Junction.
I have the feeling that Kellan would be the silver thread going through the whole omenpath arc
His art is quite apparently a planeswalker-format.
Progenitus feels better than the last time, though the original "heads in the clouds on horizon" did the creature the best.
Emrakul is interesting, as I have a strong feeling of a human (female) figure walking towards the viewer with spread arms. A subtle hint to her Emeria facade?
Angel looks nice and brainstorm is too photo-like for my liking.
Hallow =/= hollow.
Omenpaths. Just like the vedalken on Eldraine. That is kinda the whole point of the Omenpath arc.
Adding it as well as the Wild West photos.
The pics looks like Lovecraft meets H.R. Giger. Definitely the "Shadows over Innistrad" vibe.
I am a little bit more concerned about the outer space set and the death race set.Both looks very futuristic and completely Magic-unlike.
Ixalan will have an UB feature - Jurassic World cards, mechanically unique, in Set and Collector boosters.
The sets for 2024:
Ravnica Remastered (the "zendikari vampire rogue) belongs to that set).
Murders at Karlov Manor (mystery "whoddunit" set) + Ravnica:Clue Edition, new multiplayer set and mode (paparazzi pic)
Outlaws of Thunder Junction (Wild West set, Old Cowboy Rutstein)
Modern Horizons III (Theros hydra lady pic)
Fallout UB Commander decks
Bloomburrow, all antropomorphic animal set (the "Redwall" pic)
Assassin's Creed UB
Duskmourn: House of Horror, modern horror "creepy giant mansion" plane.
2025-26: Only Codenames known for the normal sets
Innistrad Remastered
Tennis - a three "omenpath" death-race across three planes. One of them is unknown, two are known. Interesting "Mad Max and Tron meets Kaladesh and Kamigawa" imagery
Ultimate - Return to Tarkir
Volleyball - Outer Space set
Final Fantasy UB set /in LOTR's likeness/, including Arena
Wrestling - return to Lorwyn/Shadowmoor
2026
Yachting - return to Arcavios (Strixhaven)
Ziplining - final set of the omenpath three-year arc that begins with Wilds of Eldraine , with story culmination (compared to War of the Spark and March of the Machine)
I guess the GenCon next week is what you seek. Either there or they will have a stream soon.
