For me, as a veteran, it is, and always was, about the community, not the name. I'll go where the people I like to talk to, and the staff that did such amazing work, are going.
If the staff moves to Nexus, I'll follow, like I went from News to Sally 14 years ago.

Caranthir posted a message on Dominaria Retrospective by Mark WintersGreat article!Posted in: Articles
Though I am a little sad that after Kelly Digges, I see that another man highly responsible for the gem that is Dominaria left Wizards.

Caranthir posted a message on Dominaria Spoiler Digest - Who's Who and What's What from the Release NotesPosted in: ArticlesQuote from Formless_One »No, the Baron Sengir and Grandmother Sengir come from Ulgothra. However, Grandmother Sengir is actually a planeswalker named Ravi who knew the Baron when he was young and as I understand it before he was a vampire. Then she went insane after pulling an Urza and blowing up most of Ulgothra. But the plane has a planar portal that most likely connects to Dominaria, and who knows? Maybe the Baron and his "Grandmother" did some traveling around the Multiverse at some point.
The Baron is NOT from Ulgrotha. He is from an unknown plane, he was brought to Ulgrotha by an unknown walker and stranded there. He might be originally from Dominaria, as we seen Sengir vampires there...but there is not enough info either to confirm or dismiss it.
Granny is a former planeswalker and one-time friend of the Baron who had a hand in him becoming vampire. See here: https://mtg.gamepedia.com/Ravi

Caranthir posted a message on Dominaria Spoiler Digest - Who's Who and What's What from the Release NotesYou are welcome. Some more:Posted in: Articles
odah's paragraph is quite wild.
"(Jodah) was also present during the Phyrexian Invasion and helped restore Urza's sanity during that time" - this is wholly incorrect, where you got it?
- one of the primary contributous to Worldspell - not quite, he had to provide his mirror and was forced to utilize (and in the process, consume) the safe havens to distribute the excess energy of the spell to prevent another Sylex Blast.
It is debatable, whether Evra, Halcyon Witness is what we think. After all, we have seen Halcyon Glaze. But using this very particular name on Dominaria and NOT tying it to THE Halcyon would be immensely stupid.
Kolo Meha was above all a Bogardan fire mage, but with ties to Madara, of course.
Gix was not Glacian's kíller. He attacked and wounded him, but Yawgmoth "killed" him by his treattment. -

Caranthir posted a message on Dominaria Spoiler Digest - Who's Who and What's What from the Release NotesSome minor corrections:Posted in: Articles
- Primevals' rebirth was one of the climaxes of Planeshift,not Invasion
- Karn's Temporal Sundering is probably the time machine explosion also depicted on Sunder, not the Tolarian rift closure.
- Sagas get counters on the beginning of the precombat main phase
- Mirari was just one of Karn's probes, and a faulty one (it shouldn't be leaking power)

Caranthir posted a message on Ixalan Story Interview with Alison LuhrsLoving it. Amazing read.Posted in: Articles
The most interesting thing for me is the reveal of intentional use of farce structure and themes for the story. It makes PERFECT sense. And explains a lot. -

Losing Miles had to hurt, indeed. I like your choice of team....playing with Miles and Phobeya together is one of my preferred combinations. Just add Harass and you got my fav "supervillain" team. But Sil is powerful with any high-damage super character. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
Yup, exactly my thought. Warrior makes absolutely zero sense here.
Yeah, thought the same thing when seeing the card.
Happy now?
I really do not think that only Cosima will be missing, just to spite Jenrik
Yeah. Where exactly did you hear it?
Frankly, there are three gods that do not have cards yet. Birgi, who was in a story. Reidane, who is confirmed to have a miniature. And Cosima.
What possibly makes you think we won't?

Kaya and Tyvar Kell apparently team up and defeat Tibalt.
Another thing worth noting is that the whole tree top is shaped as Vorinclex's bony faceplate. Where the sword is placed. And if anything can be gleaned from the functionality of the card, I'd not exactly tend to put my money to the ol' Voice of Hunger making it to the next installment ;))
EDIT: And based on the functionality of the card, they probably kill or defeat Vorinclex as well.
Really disgusted how the thread in RM turned into yet another fest of bashing Kaya and the writers.
As someone said, this looks like the moment described in the first story (https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-story/episode-1-travelers-2021-01-07). As was pointed out, Kaya is indeed fighting with knives here, not the axes she is brandishing later.
Yeah, sometimes I wish people actually read and think before falling into their self-ignited pointless tirades.
On the other hand, the Vikings also did not have snow all year long, and we do not exactly need a re-do of Ice Age.
It is okay, I had to suffer this person in Storyline for years now. I do not post anymore much, but such outrageous posts make me to break the surface.
He has néthing. Making things up, as usual.
I only wait when he starts to use the favorite new toy of many current social media discussers "I do not have to prove what I say, you have to prove that what I say is not true"...
Newsflash for you, Jenrik... modern sets are all designed for entertaining Limited play primarily.
And having the party and exploration theme in ZNR, and saying "STILL no Adventure World tropes" makes you look silly.
I can't believe that in all these years you are active here, you still did not grow up from your "it is bad because I do not like it" attitude.
