And Jace's transition to madness, or at least to not that clear mind, was way faster than I expected. Wonder if it's an effect of remnants of Nahiri magic, the place itself or something happened to entire Innistrad while we weren't looking.
I'm so questioning the morality of defending werewolves against humans. Morality of a person who knew she's dangerous, but still studied around several unsuspecting people which ended in deaths of some of them. I would be more understanding if she warned them and they agreed on risk, but no. So even with her motivation to help her kind, I'd bet more on green than white.
Very interested in that thing which causes the crawling sensation, above anything else. Looks quite hellish; maybe those are symptoms of black mana excess caused by death of Griselbrand?
Never thought I'll wholeheartedly support Chandra, of all characters. Well done, story, well done.
On a side note, where is Ashaya? Nissa's connection to her was described in every damn place before, but apparently Nissa has new friends to play with now.
"aligned hedron network failed" should better be named as "thing Jace, Nissa and co were doing when Ob appeared". Ugin was definitely not comatose at the moment. Btw, add "did nothing when Kozilek resurfaced" to the list.
And I would count that lock as flimsy if installer's enemy is Nicol Bolas level. Granted, every lock is flimsy when your enemy is Nicol Bolas, but in this case I would search for minimizing the consequences - like, training stoneforge mythics so in sufficient numbers they might serve as Nahiri replacement if something will happen to her. In any case, I would not put all my eggs in basket called Zendikar.
About warnings: it's one thing saying "don't do that, because so and so will happen" when recipient is in no danger, and another is saying "don't try this even as the very last resort to save the whole world, because something bad might happen" - especially when you have several millenia to find out the danger.
If death of two titans leads to disastrous results for multiverse, then Ugin is the first to blame. He spent several millenia on not finding out what such event would lead to, he installed flimsy lock which can't be reinstalled fast, and he didn't check when the aligned hedron network failed. And, after all, he is aeons old dragon and gatewatch are bunch of scared kids. So if he pops up saying "told you so" without actually getting his paws dirty, , he totally deserves "we at least did something" response.
Although I liked today's story, it had just a little too much showcasing and not enough new elements. Two titans walking around - check. Zendikari being miserable - check. Red mage doing fire, blue mage doing telepathy, green mage doing... vines-looking stuff, white mage being about weapons and black mage doing dark forbidden ancient powerful stuff - quintuple check. Four people shown on all art fighting together fought in-story together - check. All in all, that was cute little summary of OGW for future reference, just not that deep.
Totally not a fan of stories depicting special snowflakes winning because they are special snowflakes.
Edit: thinking of that, not a fan of "everything was bad, but then character called to his instincts and emotions, powered up and won", so it's unclear why I'm complaining when knowing beforehand it will be story about RG legend.

artstats. Thinking about that, convicted killer gets pwned if blocked by lambholt pacifist.On a side note, where is Ashaya? Nissa's connection to her was described in every damn place before, but apparently Nissa has new friends to play with now.
