So, after reading Kaito's story, and presuming that the emperor and the Wanderer are the same person, and with the hints dropping about the Emperor having a special bond with Kyodai and Kamigawa itself, we can almost safely assume who the Emperor/Wanderer is.
That's 100% my takeaway from this story. That Tezzeret's meddling on the plane has somehow ?separated? Michiko and Kyodai from each other and triggered Michiko's uncontrollable planeswalking...? Was it deliberate? To what end? To weaken the planes' defenses? So many questions.
katilda pops out of the key frees Sigarda and sorin realizing he never needed to make avacyn and Sigarda was all that he needed to protect the humans so the vampires don't starve
I’m starting to speculate sorin made avacyn before the great mending Aka while he had a god spark
We... know that he did?
Sorin made Avacyn around a thousand years ago, the mending was something like 60-70 years ago.
Black has a long history of dealing damage to creatures. Drain is primary in the color, and you can't exactly make creatures lose life instead. Black dealing damage (instead of life loss) *to players* was the template they recently tried out and decided against because it felt too similar to Red, I guess.
first off yeeaa I smell a Oath of Alrinn coming she literally called all 3 friends and all of them are gate watch members she even tried to go 4 with jace
second hard to tell if this happend before or after zendikar rising
I kinda get the feeling that it's happening concurrently with Zendicar Rising, hence why Jace is gone.
"Arlinn has the feeling Chandra would help with whatever it was Adeline asked of her, but they can't let their eyes stray too far from their goal here."
Now, does that Story Spotlight indicate that the Dawnheart Coven succeeded or failed at the Celestus...that twilight doesn't look good, though....
My guess is that this comes before the werewolf attack and Defend the Celestus. It's sunSET bash, so is probably a festivity that proceeds the ritual to activate the device, whereas if it were after the activation I'd think it would be called sunRISE bash.
sheoldred resurrected her if she was infact killed perhaps and liesa is who they are after in innistrad
(But really it’s most likely sorin has something to with this sigarda and him are fighting and probably involves that key/the celestus of how she came back.)
Original Gisela's ability was also worded as such. Double damage for opponents, half damage for you. I don't think that it's particularly indicative of anything greater.
This is not new. Every 'normal' Werewolf from Innistrad (excluding Emrakul's corruptions from Eldritch Moon) is a Human Werewolf on front face (sometimes with a third type too) and just Werewolf on back face. However, "Soldier" would make me think that perhaps it's a white Werewolf. Most Soldiers are white.
It would be fitting, IMO, for Arlinn to have organized a werewolf army to help defend humans from the other monster types, perhaps in exchange for lenience towards other werewolves.
She was an Archmage of Goldnight, I could see her going Naya and leading a sort of W/R/G "Pack Goldnight."
There were also still a few Wolfir left that could be involved.
If it's 10,000 then to them the Kami war was almost as far back as the invention of agriculture is to us. Eiganjo Castle could be there Gobekli Tepe.
Funny thing is, i'm willingly to bet with everyone that kami are going to be "dead" and won't return. Kami were too weird obscure for the western public and were badly received. They were also a parasitic mess mechanically. Also they don't mesh at all with the cyberpunk theme. So i think they won't be there.
I know it’s it’s possible but your definatly gonna lose the bet
“shadowrun” and “ghost in a shell” literally prove kami spirits can be in cyberpunk worlds
Second there’s gonna be people who do/did like them (even western) and pretty much thee place to make the spirit tribal legend everyone has been asking for.
Additionally we already KNOW that the kami still exist. The Sisters of Flesh and Spirit and the Myojin of Night's Reach were seen in the Future Sight novel (About 60 years before current day in world), and Tamiyo was still offering prayers to the kami in the most recent Innistrad set.
Gotta wonder why they didn't just go with Healing Potion as the name.
Because Potion of Healing is its literal name in D&D. Potion of Healing, Potion of Greater Healing, Potion of Superior Healing and Potion of Supreme Healing.
Yes, but I believe it's more like Heaven and Hell, where there are like overlays or layers. There is a Fae world, a demon world, spirit world, etc. Idk the entire ins and outs of the concept but that's the gist if it.
I dont think that counts as "planes". I mean look Theros : have both a physical and metaphysical places (Underworld, Heaven etc) and still are the same only one plane. A single universe can have more metaphysical layers but are within that universe still.
In D&D "Heaven" and "Hell" are entirely separate from the Material planes. They're not like Theros, with Nyx, the mortal realm, and the Underworld all on one plane. It'd be like if the Magic Multiverse had an entirely separate plane where all spirits went when they died. They're fully separate planes of existence in D&D.
Using a D20 for only 2 options feels like a total waste. It's the exactly rate of a mundane coin flip. I get it's not functionally equivalent in this set but c'mon.
That is not actually true, if you are using a fair dice. There are 9 numbers from 1 to 9 and 11 between 10 and 20. So it is 11/20 for the good outcome while only 9/20 for the bad part
Right, I stand corrected. Still lamey but at least now makes a little more sense.
To be fair, a d20 in real life D&D also often only has two outcomes; Pass or Fail.

There's the Material plane (aka the mortal world) which contains numerous - I guess subplanes? - such as Greyhawk, Faerun, Eberron, essentially all of the normal game setting planes. The Material plane sorta overlaps with the Feywild and the Shadowfell as kinda-sorta parallel dimensions that occupy the same "space" as the Material planes, just ya'know, a little to the left of reality.
Then there's the Inner planes, which are the elemental planes, Fire, Water, Earth, Air. After the inner planes are the Outer planes, which are the various Heaven/Hell analogs. Beyond the Outer planes is the Far Realm, which is essentially an alien hellscape beyond the grasp of mortal comprehension.
There are also the Ethereal plane and the Astral Sea, which are vaguely like the Blind Eternities, where they're "the space between realms." Though unlike the Blind Eternities, creatures can and do actually live there (at least, in the Astral Sea, I can't recall anything that lives in the Ethereal plane).
EDIT: Felt that I should point out that there are 16 Outer planes, not simply 1 "heaven" plane and 1 "hell" plane. I also forgot about Sigil/The Outlands. The outlands exsists between the outerplanes as a sort of hub connecting to all of them. It's a circular plane, like a wheel, with 16 gate towns each having a portal to a corresponding Outer plane. Sigil is essentially the capital, a huge ring shaped planar metropolis at the center of the plane.
Bugbears are indeed goblinoid as are hobgoblins. DnD has a variety of goblin races although with 5e only Bugbear and Goblin are playable.
Hobgoblins are also a playable race. They're all 3 in Volo's Guide to Monsters. There's also a Feywild hobgoblin in the recent fey folk UA.
As for the card itself, I don't care much for the visual treatment of the card. It took me a second to realize I was actually looking at a CARD, having initially scrolled right past it. Certainly when it's a pysical card in front of you it's obvious, and at least it's fully legible unlike some past treatments (Amonkhet invocations, the heavy metal secret lair), I suppose I simply lack the nostalgia for the design given that I started D&D with 5e.

Certainly seem to be, yeah.
