All the talk of legends coming back and no mention of one of my faves. I guess he wasnt good to begin with but still came back more corrupted than at first.
Onslaught block: Rorix Bladewing comes back as Bladewing the risen.
fnord, may I ask where you get the pictures and your information from? I saw the link to the thread you posted, but I am interested to know how you find the pictures and other information. It's really cool, and appreciated.
Yup. Though there's still a chance of him having a black/white color identity (for Commander purposes) by virtue of a white mana symbol in an activation cost.
I was totally going to suggest this. Technically unhallowed doesn't specifically have anything to do with zombies. Unholy could mean anything. Don't play standard but I wouldn't be surprised if he were a vampire recruiting (making) human tokens as sacrificial lambs.
As far as the red guy goes. For 6 mana, I hope he provides card advantage. And not at random card advantage. "Creatures you control have Undying." - would be awesome and I'd still be excited if "Other" was in front of that sentence. Or a tap ability that returned a creature from your graveyard to play with haste/sac at end of turn since the precon is about recursion. Anything wizards. Anything that makes it not suck like all these stupid dragons.
You know...what if wizards does something crazy and reprint Mikaeus but now as a DFC? Sounds stupid but just throwing it out there since the preview art is the same as in innistrad.

We have the checklist and his name isnt there. so probably not.
I don't think he'll be a Zombie... I reckon Liliana blaste him with "random curse spell X", perhaps "Curse of the Chain Veil" (as a Curse, that would be epic). It worked well enough on Garruk (or so she thinks), so why not zap Mikaeus for not helping her?
It's quite possible that sans spark (or his god), Mikaeus succumbs quickly and is evil-ified.
As long as his cost is XB where X is the number of +1/+1 counters on him, I'm cool.
However, rumoring aside.
Why the **** do humans get TWO Legends before Werewolves get ONE!? Come ON, Werewolf Equality, Wizards! I want to flip my General over in EDH!

I don't think Werewolves are getting a legend. Having two sides to a legendary creature, with one of each side in play as a possibility is too much of a headache for designers to deal with/want to care about. Also, no flippers in Avacyn Restored.
Either Sorin rescues Avacyn from where ever she is currently being held, or if he made her in the first place, couldn't he just make a new Avacyn?
And I totally roflmao when I read this:
Quote from veloxiraptor »
Sorin: AVACYN! You march your butt down here THIS INSTANT!
Avacyn: What is it, Daddy?
Sorin: Who's this 'Mikaeus' who keeps beseeching you?
Avacyn: Oh, Daddy, he's just some supplicant...I have a lot of them, since I'm, y'know, an ARCHANGEL.
Sorin: Well, you'd better tell that mouthbreathing creep to stop calling, or I'll personally ensure that he and up to two creatures and/or planeswalkers are worshipping you from inside a COFFIN! Capisce?
Avacyn: UGH! As soon as I'm old enough to gain Flying, I'm SO out of here!
Either Sorin rescues Avacyn from where ever she is currently being held, or if he made her in the first place, couldn't he just make a new Avacyn?
And I totally roflmao when I read this:
I presume that Avacyn was created when Sorin was a much more powerful Oldwalker, else the Church wouldn't be this developed.
In his powered-down state, I doubt Sorin can muster the white mana necessary to create another Angel. For much the same reasons as the Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver doesn't see as much use as it would in reality, Sorin turning up, going "pop, new angel", and leaving would make the story short and boring.

Now those were some shocking transformations. All the more so because these were flawed characters with clear narratives. You could follow them and empathize with them. Seeing a generic leader-figure I don't particularly care about get turned into a zombie is downright mundane by comparison.
Maybe now he colects +1/+1 counters from creatures and creates human tokens out of it ~ sacrifice material
Something along these lines:
XB
~ enters the battlefield with x +1/+1 counters
tap: remove a +1/+1 counter from any number of creatures target player controls
tap: put a +1/+1 counter on ~
At the beginning of your upkeep put 1/1 white human token onto the battlefield. Exile that token at end of turn.
Good with undying and W/B tokens.
I know this last piece of text seems a little pushed but they have to do some nice token generators from W/B sacrifice.
Else, people could start using B for big creatures and W for token generators which is also fine. Still, it may not be competitive enough.
Getting bigger just because isn't really Black flavour.
XB
~ enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it.
T, remove a +1/+1 counter from ~: Remove a +1/+1 counter from each of any number of target creatures.
2W: Put a 1/1 white Human creature token into play.
0/0
Now he has (W/B) identity for EDH.

Oh, no! They killed Mikaeus! Why, Wizards, why?
Edit: in my mind it's the first Legend that appeared firstly in "normal" and then in "corrupted" state during one block. Ertai has two states two, but in different blocks.
I got the distinct impression that Mikaeus was, at the very least, a "light is not good" type of character. It would not surprise me at all to see him pop up as evil. I'll be irritated if his art is the same/extremely similar, though.
I also don't like the idea of the same legend appearing twice in a single block.

You make the mistake comparing magic nowadays to when it actually had a storyline.
On topic: I am curious as to what he will do as they can't use -1/-1 as an inverse of his white self.

If you have paid ANY attention to this block, it's story is EFFING AMAZING! But Yea i think it's kinda weird they have the same legend 2 ways in one block.

I think what he/she means to say is that Magic storylines are, for the most part, confined to yearly blocks now. We have the meandering tales of planeswalkers interwoven in the various narratives, but in general, Zendikar was Zendikar as New Phyrexia was New Phyrexia as Innistrad is Innistrad. Remember that years ago, the Weatherlight saga spanned roughly 5 years of narrative, and with Urza's backstory, even more than that -- there were also quite a few more (and better written) books back then to explain the course of events. Now there is just one book per block.

I agree the story is interesting, but I was commenting on older character changes with the current. I will guess with great confidence that Mikaeus going bad will not be as great a tale as Crovax. Also, if Avacyn is just imprisoned in the Helvault I'll lose all faith in the creative dept.
Yes he is the rare from the spoiled Intro Packs. I really wish they would hire some of the authors Lucasarts gets to do Star Wars Novels. That way the Block Novels wouldn't Suck (I'm looking at you In the Teeth of the Akoum and The Search for Karn)

No, they just need to re-hire King and McGough. But that's another topic of discussion that will derail this thread.
I'm actually shocked that no one has mentioned Glissa
Glissa Sunseeker
Glissa, the Traitor
It's not like it was a recent print or anything
EDIT: nevermind, overlooked that whole "one block" thing, though Scars is a continuation of the block she first appeared in

Well you do realize Jesus our Lord and Savior was He Himself a zombie?
And then there's also Wort, Boggart Auntie who became Wort, the Raidmother and Sygg, River Guide to Sygg, River Cutthroat
Not really. Zombies are traditionally considered unintelligent. Jesus would be more akin to a Lich or a Spirit (with a physical presence).

It definitely won't be -1/-1 counters since WotC has made it a habit not to use +1/+1 and -1/-1 in the same block anymore.
