I for one like the idea of UB, but ... Stranger Things? It has practically no mythology or worldbuilding to pull from. The characters are all regular joes who work and go to school, except when they're fighting monsters in a regular town, and the monsters have absolutely no depth to them at all.
This was such a weird choice.
Yeah I get what you mean, in any moment the good people are going to start to blabbing about stranger things "lore" PFFFFFF. I am surprised that wizards of the coast associated themselves with the flat-earther that spreads ignorance around the world
Remember kids, only overly convoluted high fantasy is allowed to have "lore." /s
Shhhh let the troll hate post, they don't care their post has no substance.
Draft booster print runs have gone down because it's the pandemic and no one is drafting in person, so Wizards can get away with less draft boosters. With how big Limited is, this will not last for very long.
But that didn't happen with M21, Ikoria, Zendikar, Double Masters, Jumpstart, Commander Legends, or Kaldheim. Yes, Core Set and Ikoria shipping out was fudged up due to the pandemic, but a full year after the pandemic started they start doing it? Also, people also buy them just to open, not necessarily to draft.
We also didn't have set boosters until Zendikar 3 this last fall.
From deeper knowelge of vorthos than I, apparently the legendary and the golems part is in the original books.
Really? Do you have more about that? I'm really curious
They said it was like a line or two in the first novel when Agrus Kos sees a bust of General Ferrous Rokiric and says something along the line of "oh he created the golems that guard the city way in the past".
Then I realized it's a "Simic Combine" Chrysalis. (And the name suddenly soudned less awkward as well, haha.)
I mean it's a really weird simic card too. Both the flavor and the mechanics are kinda off. First we have that boros legendary that uses golems. Now a simic card about sacrifice/tokens. Are they shifting the guilds' identity?

The fact that Kaldra was annihilated during the creation of the fifth sun, however, makes this an "alternative history" card...
Unless the artifacts were atomized by the Fifth Dawn, it's still possible. This is Phyrexia, after all; working with metal scraps is second nature to them.
My thought as well, artifact-necromancy.
Funny enough I might get rid of the kaldra pieces in my cats deck and replace them with this

Figured the older vorthos would be interested (and the newer ones who don't know these characters as well).

I got Kaladesh vibes from them (to go along with Ragavan), though could be the Kaladesh "master piece" versions of them.

EDIT: Also his wiki with info sourced as the first novel;

We know this since they outright said he was and each of the curses was on a different plane. Poor guy, I do wanna see him get a card at least.
If this meant to be on Amonkhet than a hyena works better than a wolf though a jackal would have been best for the tone.
Gift of Tusks, Frogify, Merfolk Trickster, Mystic Subdual, ect all do similar stuff. Like its not typically blue deal but this the planar chaos lite set where they are making color shifted cards.
