Boring story. Sorry folks, can't relate with this at all. Random cathars and peasants that I couldn't care less about making part of an army and being 'afraid' of eldrazi, a random eldrazi drone encounter with It that Rides as One, different races that fought against each other for centuries quickly allying without so much as a second thought and a cheesy incorporation of a Lord of the Rings scene where spirits join the battleground. Aside from the last part, it was just BFZ rehashed. The final bossfight also very uninspirting, Thalia basically became an anime character to fight Brisela.
Considering there was just one story given for Thalia I really can't relate to her pain and problems at all. The story as a whole just breezed through me, wouldn't even care if Emrakul destroyed Innistrad. I suppose the good news is that I'm alone in my thinking and people think the story was good so... nice job WoTC?
I give this story a generous C-.
You're not alone,it's just that a lot of people that would agree with you have given up on the story or lowered their expectectations.Ive just become numb to the trash that most of the story has become and try to find a few nuggets of good in this sea of meh storytelling.
Yet another thing to jot down to market research garbage that causes lore to suffer.Magic story is one of those things that the more vague information you have about the lore,the better.Once you find out how unsatisfactory most of the story is you kind of get let down.I'm not saying it's all bad,but there are a lot of things wrong with it.Creative seems to be good at setting up things and world building,but executing endings and well written characters(usually planeswalkers)is not their best thing.I would really want some older walkers,a sphinx walker,a treefolk walker,even a giant,but market research makes it hard for those things to happen.
Jace is more blue/white than Tamiyo.Wizards just keeps giving me reasons to dislike jace.All other planeswalkers will suffer design and character wise because of the origin 5.They are starting to eat up all mono color design space and will force out all other secondary characters.
Pretty much,but you forgot Lilliana will join the gatewatch,cause why not.Emrakul will job to her and that will be the last of any threat the eldrazi held.These stories always feel like how somebody who's addicted to gambling must feel,if you hold out just long enough the big pay off will come,not in this story maybe the next one...nothing no? Okay maybe the next one will be better,it looks promising! Oh no more superhero avengers type crap in my fantasy setting card game.Whats that? We can't have sci fi in our magic stories? Nope that's off limits.Pffff.
Liliana is gong to join the gatewatch and emerakul is going to job to her.I wonder if they'll kill Sorin to make room for a black/white elspeth.The eldrazi at this point are a non issue and the only way to make them threatening again would be to destroy innistrad which won't happen.
Why would they reprint prodigal sorcerer? That card violates the color pie so badly,it's a mistake card.
You're looking so hard for something to complain about that you mind as well use binoculars.
What? I'm liking this set so far,it's not a complaint it's an honest assessment.Nobody can say anything without it seeming like people are whining.Nobody is allowed to be critical?So you have to either like something one hundred percent or hate it completely? What kind of black in white world do you live in? Sheesh.
Notice that besides the mawcor they're all old cards,blue should of never had access to direct damage that's why it was changed.All colors need their check and balances.
The saddest part is that this whole revenge thing seems kinda pointless,zendikar isn't destroyed and the plane will be back to normal when we get back.Someone should tell nahiri that her plane has been saved and its eldrazi free,maybe the countless nameless lives plus lorthos are worth destroying Avacyn and threatening another plane with something else justifies her actions.I still want to know how nahiri has managed to live so long and where she's been this whole time,don't think I've forgotten wizards.

That's the thing I hated the most as a kid,when shows had little kids tag along with the heroes.lol
That means Armageddon is right around the corner too.
