I really hope they find some way to finish the side stories before the next block because in my opinion they were more interesting than the maze. A good idea would be to do a wrap-up for each guild kind of how they do for characters at the end of some movies.

Thanks to XenoNinja at Heroes of the Plane Studios for the sig.
Wait i don't quite understand the ending. Is this mean Jhoira teleport the enemy champion to the day before and kill him using the sphere ???
or Jhoira just trap the enemy on the sphere to the day before, so the enemy won't have any champion. but i think if this is the case, won't the enemy could just pick another champion ??? usually barbarian tribe will have no shortage of great warrior
can someone explain to me the meaning of the ending of the story please. thanks
Wizards print good rares, players complain about cash grab. They print underwhelming rares, players complain that the cards suck. They spoil the best cards first, players complain about the insane prices of preorders. They spoil the meh cards first, players complain that this is the worst set ever.
So. I think I understand now.
As far as these forums are concerned, WotC can never do anything good because:
Card that is new and probably good = "pushed"
Card that is new and probably bad = "EDH/casual fodder"
Card that is a reprint = "lazy"
Card that is a better version of an older card = "power creep"
Card that is a weaker version of an older card = "worthless"

If I understand correctly how time traveling works in Magic lore, after the spell Jhoira was left alone in the arena, thus winning the fight. Meanwhile, there will be two of the barbarian champion in the day before the fight.
By the way, hadn't mages in Dominaria (speially those who were around by the time of the Mending) agreed that time magic is bad? The planar-stability-threatening kind of bad?

Jhoira killed the champion by transporting him to her laboratory on the previous day, stuck inside a forcefield with a bomb. Since it wasn't the solstice on that day, the spells that were making him invincible weren't functioning, so he died in the explosion.
Loved this story. Short, sweet, well-written, and featuring a beloved character.

Thanks for the answer guys, but which one is the correct one?
And for luminum can
don't you think if the champion died from the explosion, the barbarian tribe have many more other champion to replace the dead one?

Well, does a stable time loop to a very precise time and place count as time travel?
It doesn't seem as, well, big as what I understand Urza's experiments were.

What would it matter if they did? The point was that two champions fight. If one defeats the other, then she has defeated him. He disappears from the fight and may or may not be blown up? Well, her magic caused him to disappear. He's been removed from combat, which means that she has defeated him.
But it was established that only silver could go back in time, still with great difficulty. And now random people can be sent to past?
The first section is Jhoira preparing the location and time to which he will be sent. She is setting up a series of magical circles that she will later use to target the spell.
The second section is Jhoira receiving him from the future. She had already conjured the dome and created the bomb. She is pulling him backwards in time to her chronological location.
Finally, the future Jhoira pushes him backwards in time towards the magical circles that she prepared--where she had already been waiting, in the past. Pushing from the future and pulling from the past at the same time is a very different scenario from simply trying to send someone back.
Importantly, the sphere of force is opaque, and his body is completely obliterated. He is never observed existing in the past, and no evidence remains that there were ever two of him at once.
I'm not saying that there are absolutely no contradictions--I don't have the relevant books on hand to reference--but it's very clearly a different situation.
I'm so glad that we're (apparently) finally done with the Ravnica stories. I was getting tired of those.
And it really was great that the author chose to revisit a classic Magic character, even if the story never revealed what happened between her and "Jodah."

Have nothing to do with difficulty of time travel, difficulty was in the travel itself not in paradoxes. Though you have a point with a preparation ritual, so i guess it's alright.
Always love it when we get to see guilded people doing something other than sanctioned war crimes to one another.
Agreed, that was really refreshing to see a Dimir quit Dimir, I also love that thread concept. Plus I give it major props for somewhat accurately tying in to the Secretist as opposed to some of the other stories out there.
The life of a snapjaw...I don't know whether this is supposed to be heartwarming, cute, or just plain disturbing. Meh, all three seems about right.
I agree...it was a bit of all three. Also too short! But I actually enjoyed it nonetheless...I think it's fun to see how three different guilds would respond and take advantage of a lost, wandering creature. And the fact that the Simic were able to spur it into sapience was pretty cool.
Short but a good story .Poor Ruslan........ I wonder how he rect if he meet with Kuba again.

I suspect the seeds of sapience were sowed not by the Simic, but rather the Izzet who used a serum to boost its neural pathways so it wouldn't reject the implants. The Simic simply finished what the Izzet had started, as well as helping it further along towards a humanoid shape via their healing chambers.

Is this really her in the past? I thought it was the story of how she became "of the Ghitu."
Story today was pretty cool.
Nope, She was born to the Ghitu. She was scouted really early on to be taken to Tolaria, but she's a native to Shiv.

I'm taking bets that the answer will be "no"
And at this stage I'm much more frothing to get some resolution for Gideon on ravnica.
No, but we were lucky enough to even get that honestly. Particularly as it was on the other side of Innistrad at that point.
