I just want to know how can you get 5 (five) basic lands, conveniently of each color, on 3 (three) boosters.
Where was it said that they only opened three packs? If you saw something like this wouldn’t you buy all of it up if you could? I sure as hell would. Although I probably wouldn’t leak them.
Yes! It makes sense that The Theriad is The Iliad and The Odyssey is represented by The Callephia. I always took Callaphe to be the Jason trope, but she appears to be more Odysseus. I wonder if it’s the Thassa champion version of it told by Merfolk. Many myths speak of Callaphe stealing from gods and tossing their trinkets over the Waterfall at edge of the world, or sailing into Nyx, or dueling Thassa. Makes you wonder if Callaphe is many different people, but the true Callaphe herself was actually devoted to Thassa, since Thassa claimed she was when fighting Kiora, which conflicted with all the different myths about her from Godsend. I always thought it was propaganda for devotion, we’ll just have to see.
Yes, I really want a Callaphe card. And I hope we get some Arixmethes references on a saga depicting the sinking of the city, a land, flavor text or art.... or something.
And yes I do love Greek mythology and Greece! I’ll have to check that out. I absolutely adore Theros and from what I’m seeing here this is yet another slam dunk, even better than the original with sagas and more enchantment focus. Omen of the Sea alone will find itself in all my decks
Oooooh an Arixmethese Saga that like makes a land into an island on 1, bounces all creatures or maybe non-land permanents if they want to push it on 2, and then High Tides on 3 would be awesome and pretty thematic.
Going all the way back to page 1...who buys their MtG products at a Walgreen's? Just curious. I am certain some do but I would not have thought to look there for it.
When I lived in a small *****ty town in rural Georgia I bought from Walgreens. I got my only Masterpiece from a Walgreens Oath of the Gatewatch pack.
Also, Tiro, from those flavor texts I think the Callapheia is the Theros version of The Odyssey. Which is neat.
Pegasus and Medusa (well, not in MTG, but in many other media) welcome Typhon to the club.
There's a difference, I think. For one both of those have been made generic by culture for years. Secondly there are myths where Medusa isn't the only gorgon. Typhon, however is a different matter. It's not something that culture has made generic. It's not even something a lot of people would know about off hand. Typhon is a cataclysmic creature, father to monsters. To make Typhon into a kind of creature rather than a specific one is an odd choice. Notably I'm not complaining. Just an observation.
The store made mistake and put them on the shelves early.
