Quote from Flisch »Not a lot happened, but it was a nice introduction to two characters we are going to see for a large part of the Zendikar Rising arc, so it's good. I liked it. The short flashbacks to the battle at seagate highlight for me the fact that Magic story telling at its core works best as vignettes, rather than continous storylines following the same five planeswalkers. The descriptions of Zareth's and Akiri's experiences at seagate had more atmosphere and feeling than any of Gideon's "I whip my hair back and forth" and Nissa's "Zendikar is crying!" segments, like by a magnitude. The multiverse is a setting of countless worlds, and as a result of countless stories. They need to be told from the perspective of its countless peoples, not someone who's just passing through. For the same reason my absolute favourite story (installment) from Amonkhet was the one with the multiple vignettes showing how the Amonkheti survive (or not survive) the onslaught of the eternals. That is where magic storytelling shines the most. The other chapters focusing on the gatewatch were largely not memorable. Quote from OrzhovPlaneswalker »Too bad these two characters are all gonna die... Don't be too sure about this. We haven't seen Akiri die on-screen. And she is a master line-slinger.

Quote from m_pathogen »Quote from Yandere Sliver »Currently the allied colored Bond lands would still fit into the number crunch with Spire Garden at 357 and Sea of Clouds at 355 I think someone officially de-confirmed those, though? Or am I thinking of something else?

Quote from Gavin Verhey »You will find five crowd lands in this set: these five new members of the cycle. I especially love the fun nod of them all still being set on Kylem, the world of Battlebond, too. https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/sneak-peek-commander-legends-2020-08-22

Quote from Xcric »love the arts on all of these, so glad we're finally getting a better barrin. he was such an important figure in dominarian history with such a tragic story in the end. he just never really got enough love as a character on the cards, and his original was kinda trash.
Quote from Tiro of Meletis »Quote from Caranthir »There was a statement from Jeremy Jarvis. I think that the rumor that it was written by Weisman is BS. As Eldraine was written by Kate Elliott and Ikoria by Django Wexler, there is no reason to believe this was given to Weisman. When we can expect the novel - only Wizards know. In the meantime, feel free to read our seven-part take on the story that me and my friend wrote (based on the Wizards's half-hearted "story" they published) during January and February. https://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/community-forums/creativity/personal-writing/816197-theros-beyond-death-fan-fiction-based-on-wizards There's even a blue character you might like... I actually did read it, and I really enjoyed it. I suspect some aspects of this book may very well be the canon approach we see in a book eventually. I really would like more follow up on Thassa overall. What she did the moments after Kiora planeswalked away, how she had Purphoros forge her new spear, its name, and why he chose to make her that instead of a new Bident. Also how she acquired devotion in the interim, for example. As well as how the other gods respond to Heliod and how they feel about him being defeated and imprisoned. Godsend was all about the gods meddling. Adding more dimension to Calix too.

Quote from 5colors »Two minor lore stuff from the story on cards I figured I found cool; -Narset came to Ikoria to help her recover from War of the Spark since the mana on Ikoira is similar to ancient Tarkir -The Wanderer came to Ikoria for a second then planes walked away. I hope this turns into a running gag.
Quote 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.
