Apparently Ioreth is a character from Shadow of Mordor?
SoM may have a character sharing the name, but Ioreth was the old woman who mentioned "the hands of the king are the hands of the healer" upon seeing Faramir in the Houses of Healing.
Relative to the fact it didn't receive a novel to resolve the Theros Beyond Death story with Elspeth, Heliod, Daxos, Ajani, Dack Fayden, and Ashiok, etc. only to have a Phyrexian invasion occur and WOTC claim Aftermath as the Epilogue set, which revealed nothing about any of its gods, at the very least, in all 50 of the cards. So in addition to an unresolved original plot, Theros now has this invasion with no details as well.
Wait, is half of your complaint that the set doesn't do anything about story threads from an entirely different set?
Except that we indeed know next to nothing about Theros.
We still know way more than about most of the other planes referenced in the set. Your complain would be valid if this was the "Phyrexia vs Theros" set, but it isn't, and you're coming off as a whiny child who didn't get the toy they want, so they moan and moan.
Core Set 2019 (it was released the summer of Guilds of Ravnica- do the cards flavorfully take place on Ravnica or are they just a random collection.)
Just about all core sets were a mix - even going through white cards you have stuff from Amonkhet (Mighty Leap) and Theros (Oreskos Swiftclaw)
Azor- is he Ravnica-based or was he just visiting when he became the Azorius Parun?
While I don't believe Azor's home plane was ever named, he claimed Ravnica was just one of the many places he visited and brought law to.
When it comes to the cards you shown so far, I don't think any building that would be a Command Tower like that was ever mentioned. And the two Agents - while technically they could be Dimir agents, don't really look the part.
His points are spot on. Now we will see if he takes it the next step by refraining to buy and open this product on his channel for monetization clicks. Practice what you preach.
FWIW, the Professor just said he won't be buying any 30th Anniversary Edition, neither for himself or the channel. And I'd trust him far more than I trust Rudy.
"A new legendary creature card that combines two characters that previously each had their own legendary creature card."
Grandpa Markov and Olivia, it seems. Years past I was hoping for a card depicting the Fourth Sister (Liesa) and a demonic lover, but I suppose two vampires will do.
Nah I bet they're the Vampire nobles and it's Halena and Alana.
Who said those two hints can't refer to the same card? You technically get two new Vampire Nobles, just on one card. Seems like a very Maro way to make hints...
The Travails took much from Innistrad, but faith is a hard thing to break. Even when the object of that faith falls as hard and far as Avacyn fell.
For weeks after the Travails, her wolves wanted nothing to do with human society, and she could hardly blame them. To walk among man was to breathe in their sorrows and bear their weight.
I wonder how they're going to justify the lore we've already seen from current day Kamigawa. Because we know that there are sections that aren't all cyberpunked from the stories about Tamiyo and her children.
I imagine the same way they dealt with the issue(s) of Zendikar vampires - they'll retcon what doesn't fit their new vision.
The story is set after Sarkhan went back in time and saved Ugin's life. Thus the Dragonlords are in charge and the Khans are dead or hiding their former identity (like Yasowa).

Does the name Ringwraiths ring a bell? ;P

Certainly looks like it. Still, "But muh Theros" gets boring after a while.

Nah, Astarion - the guy from Baldur's Gate 3.
Probably because enchantment removal already doest that, and a card that said "Destroy target Curse" would be extremely narrow and largely unplayable.

So yeah, seems it is the term for the SoI plot.
