Love how they just kinda gave up with the witherbloom one. All the other descriptions are in detail and they're just like "yeah she's a weird goth girl with a salamander". Thanks wizards
And base on the description, Witherbloom remains boring as ever. They could've made it a department that cast magic through physical exercise; weight lift, gymnastic, martial arts, yoga, etc. Individual training and betterment (black) fuels the vital force (green) needed to generate mana. Instead, we get a Golgari lite.
-Students get a year before they have to pick a school
-Main plane does has some stuff going on
-twins where sent here by Kasmina
-Lukka is here too
-School was founded 700 years ago by the elder dragons
-The bilboplex is said to hold every spell in the mutiverse and the mythic archive holds the most powerful
-Magcal sport call mage tower. Each time put a mascot that the other team needs to steal. Any and all magic is allowd (as long as it not hurting the other players or mascot).
-Snarls are places on the plane where swirling mana of two differnt colors meet
-Giants are on plane.

-This is post Kylem for the twins
-The twins and Garruk reunited and Garruk has left them on their own for now. Kasmina then showed up and told the twins to head out to Strixhaven.
-Looks like the twins don't need to planeswalker together and as shown Rowan (at least) will planeswalk and it will drag Will along.
- Kasmina isn't from Arcavios.
-Owl even are called owlin.
-The twins magics isn't working quiet right
-Lukka is found by the Oriq who knows he's a planeswalker from Ikoira. Kasmina sees this through her owl.

Beautiful eyes. I hope they explore Lukka's morally grey nature. I could see him being an anti-hero in the right setting though admittedly he's largely an antagonist so far.
He still believes himself to be the good guy.
I kinda like the military edge he has and, as more of Realist-Constructivist in the study of International Relations, I feel I can sorta understand some of the decisions he's made in the past both good and bad.
His world broke and he himself is broken.
I also noticed that in the story that he's finally begun to name his animal companions.

I think I'm still gonna consume mtg art and stories until I no longer enjoy em. hard not to. I still care about the lore even as I grow more and more ambivalent about the game.

If it's Davriel he'd be severely out of character. Better to hope it's Jin or some unknown threat
Agreed. Davriel is more akin to Lilli right now in terms of personal policy. He's trying to lay low, maintain a comfortable (but discreet) living, and figure out what he wants in life as an ageless planeswalker with a target on his back.
He's petty, lazy and sarcastic, but is willing to take care of other people's problems if his own interests would be greatly hurt by not stepping up to the plate.
He's not really a manipulator at the moment, and he generally tries to avoid much contact with other planeseswalkers.
his mask is skull like the story saids it’s bird-like so probably something like the plague doctor is what the mask looks like
Plus he’s a lazy and selfish to form something like this and do I even need to mention about that he would be Dimir since blue is secondary (would be named differently on and specifically stated 0% ally color stuff in the set.
To be fair Sanderson also named white as a potential third color (he was a lawyer after all) so if Creative really wanted it they could force him into Orzhov.
A shadowy organization known as the Oriq is trying to fulfill a prophecy and awaken the legendary Blood Avatar. A group of young mages of Strixhaven must root out the conspiracy before time runs out.
And a few cards say something to the tune of "the elder dragons ended the blood wars/blood age".

Very nice and college feel good and lots of queerness which is nice. Not much else to say besides it was a nice character story.

unless this is a red herring but looks like this fellow is after someone with guilt
(i hope liliana not in danger because she fits that pretty well given the card Confront the Past)
Some further insights on the nature of the colleges.
Lorehold for example also covers anthropology and psychology. It really is about examining society as a whole, and debating whereas people follow rules or passions.
Quandrix is obviously whereas math is natural or a cosntruct.

Looks like our bad guy is someone called Extus
Been on this forum for 10++ years

but yea that story spotlight shows the mask figures extus is the villain
But question now is know my homework on the movies and books is extus a fake identity and is someone else in disguise
Been on this forum for 10++ years
Playing since '94
yep that as well
last name is Narr so name is "Extus Narr"
unless this is a red herring but looks like this fellow is after someone with guilt
