If you look at the Japanese version of Gisela, her name uses the katakana for the hard g "gi" rather than what would be used for the soft g "ji." Since I assume they'd use the official intended pronunciation when they're translating the cards into Japanese, the hard g is probably correct.

So could the artwork from this thread potentially be for the Elder Spell?

These rare throwback legendary cards have been some of the most innovative, flavorful designs in the set. I wish they could've used some of the slots of the more boring rares to do more cards like this.

Kestia is awesome in so many ways. First legendary creature with Bestow. First legendary Nymph. And they even gave her the Nyx border! Color me impressed.

Edit: Also just realized that she's the first legendary enchantment creature that isn't a god.

While this card is basically perfect in my eyes, my one complaint is that there isn't enough room for "Waste not, want not" as her flavortext.

IT'S ABOUT TIME!

Seriously, aside from maybe Jodah and Urza, this is the character I've been most waiting for to receive a card. Great abilities, great creature type, and they even put her in the right colors. I'm undeniably satisfied with this card.

I like how they kept Palladia-Mors as a big beater with flying and trample like her original card, as well as giving her a few new abilities to boot.

Like someone mentioned above, with the way that the card is worded, it seems like the hexproof is gone for good once she deals damage. That's a bit of a shame, but it makes sense for power-level reasons.

I'm so hyped for this card! I'd definitely love to see them do more pre-sparked planeswalkers like this (PLEASE give us an Ugin in this set!). I'm also hoping that future core sets will continue to tell stories from the past.

I love both artworks for this card, but I find it interesting that they chose blues for the background since Bolas is most often framed with golds and oranges.

I really prefer her artwork from that old survey. Maybe we'll be getting another version of her sometime soon?

Finally! I was going to be really upset if they didn't give Josu a card after his important-ish role in the story. Ten mana for 20 power across nine menacing bodies seems pretty sweet.

HattsOff posted a message on Mothership spoilers 4/5 Jodah

Finally! This is the card I've really been waiting to see, and I am not disappointed. The artwork is fantastic!

Interestingly, the flavor text is very similar to a passage from The Gathering Dark, one of the Ice Age novels I just so happened to reread recently.

Through the centuries there are a number of legendary figures that have come to us from the time of the Dark--figures, such as Ith, the horrific Rag Man, Vervamon the Elder, and Tivadar of Thorn. Yet one figure is an enigma among these enigmas. Time and again throughout the period of the Dark--and up to the end of the Ice Age itself--there is reference to a folk figure known as Jodah. It has been suggested that Jodah is the surname of a family of sorcerers, or a honorific title of respect, or that Jodah is a previously unknown Planeswalker. The fact remains that Jodah (be he one or be he many) is today regarded as one of the founders of magic as we now know it. --Arkol, Argivian scholar

It's so cool that the flavor text is actually a reference to the novel, considering that much of it and Jodah himself have been largely ignored within the game up until now.

That artwork is fantastic! A great callback to that old InQuest picture that was supposedly an image of Yawgmoth.

HattsOff posted a message on Dominaria FAQ leak thread

This set is a Vorthos's dream come true. The sheer number of references to Magic's past are insane. There's even some really obscure stuff in here. Jodah finally has a card, there's a new Umezawa, a reference to Kolo Meha. And that's not even mentioning the subset of enchantments that are specifically designed to represent events from the novels and stories of Magic's past. I don't know if I've ever been more excited for a set.

Although they may be unpopular, the Numena from the Onslaught block novels happen to be in those three colors.

The three kanji right before the word "wizaado" (wizard) are blue, black, and red respectively.
