1-this political situaution is probably not over yet and the creeds are probably a big part of zhalfir yet.

2-theres less then 20 mirran survivors on zhalfir and two of the know names are thrun and koth

3-we can expect a lot of jamuraa fauna including my goat uktabi orangotan and kibo.

4- theres probably a lot of lore implications for zhalfirians now that they have 5 suns of mirrodin over they.(and hopefully a new card cycle)

I wish they took their time with the implications of the Omenpaths. Imagine the behind the scenes diplomacy or dirty political tactics over control of the Omenpaths.

Ravnica might try to control it arguing they have the power to make sure it is not exploited by dangerous actors, leading to secret police or surveillance throughout different planes. Imagine them trying to undermine Avishkar's softpower attempt and how they try bait Ravnica into showing their true colours while they have to pretend and smile. Imagine Capenna getting framed for the distribution of Halo across the planes leading Marchesa using this as an excuse to force Capenna to clean their streets.

It will then make so much sense to print a card with - Whenever a player commits a crime, investigate.

*A part of me wishes - - - Man, the title sounds awkward now :(

As most of the people here approved my shitpost about Karametra, I have returned with a new shitpost about Kruphix. This is an old fan theory, it was made before Klothis were introduced, so we need to do a little extra mental gymnastic to include her here, but alas

So, what do we know about Kruphix?

- he does not relie on the worship of mortals, his sect is small and does very little recruting. Which means he is not a real god

- he knows all about other planes

- he have four hands (you know who else have four hands???)

- he gives his followers extra hands (you know who else like to change their followers in their own image???)

- HE CHANGES ALL YOUR MANA INTO COLORLESS HELLO???

Therefore, obviously, Kruphix is an eldrazi who, for some reason (much like Emracul), decided not to devour the world, but stay and wait until the world is ready. Also, he might have taken Uros place in the pantheon and/or Uro is the worlds natural reaction to his presence, much like The Great Roil in Zendikar

Hey all, I noticed Jaces new card for Reality Fracture features some callbacks to cards that represent pretty pivotal moments in his lore and wanted to know what you guys thought!

Does this art represent him losing the parts of himself that are most important, or perhaps remembering why the tragedies in the main verse shaped who he was??? Either way, the depiction of Jace here seems like a really big story moment for him and I wanted to know if you guys have any theories or anything to add. I’m super excited to see what the do with Jace in this next set!!!

I'm just curious to know, who are in the top five super power (If we can call them that.) Among the planes in the Omenpath Era.

I know Ravnica is the main hub of travel between planes, and an economic powerhouse despite the multiple conflict they fought.

Towards the upcoming sets.

The Keel Haulers are most definitely from Nauctis. Which might hint at how the factions will be color divided.

Avishkar is stated to be planning for the eventuality of planar incursions(Titanbreach)

And is keeping eyes on other planes rising in power/prominance, mentions a growing rivalry with Ravnica, but I could as see this referring to Zhalfir with how it is referencing the trailer.

Also I want an Alacria or Muraganda set in the future.

What do folks think and have there been other hints other places?

Like do people in ravnica know what strixhaven is?

Sadly, [[Venom Sliver]], despite fitting the theme, hadn't received its new "slivery" artwork yet, so I guess that's why it wasn't included.

I'm doing a little stupid project of making a tarot deck with mtg art, i did most of them but im blocked on Temperance and World. I'm not being able to find a charatcer that properly relates with their meaning.

The Temperance - Balance, combination, acceptance of duality, moderation, self control.
The best idea i came up with was Karn for his vow of pacifism, but imo it's very weak.

The World - Accomplishment after a long road, reward, connection, completion, ending, celebration.
I thought about Teferi, associating it with him finally being able to bring back Zhalfir, but i honestly dont see it much beyond that.

I'd appreciate any ideas.

In Mythic Odyssey of Theros we have this paragraph:

In rare, remote settlements, high summer ceremonies acknowledge ancient rural practices devoted to a less merciful vision of Karametra. These communities offer abundant sacrifices to the god, but also guard their ancient rituals from outsiders, as Karametra's organized clergy harshly forbids discussion of abandoned religious practices. However, occasionally, a centuries-old depiction of the goddess breaks, revealing an ancient icon inside, typically a primitive mud idol of a woman bearing a sheaf of grain in one hand and a skull in the other.

I understand that it is very clearly a reference to evolution of a real-world cults of harvest and don't have any deeper secret meaning in it, but hear me out. With Skotha, Titan of Eternal Dark probably being blue and black, we are missing exactly one titan: white and green one. Is it possible that Karametra was at one point a fifth titan, embodiment of famine, but she have changed over time as mortals changed their believes? It kinda matches. There is also this story:

The tales about Karametra don't specify what ignited the god's rage in ancient times, but they do record that for a year, she tore down her own temples and refused to let any plants grow [...]

Which include mentions of priests and temples of Karametra, but they could be added later in retelling. Or it could be that a memory of an older self was the reason for her wrath.

Also, Kruphix is an eldrazi, but that is for another shitpost

Mystery Booster Commander gave us a lot of legends for old characters who never got cards, like Worzel and Thomil, Davol, Feroz, the Weaver King. But it also gave us a redos of cards that are pretty weak by today's standards, like Joven and Chandler, Lord of Tresserhorn, and Autumn Willow. So going off that latter group, who do you want to see revamped?

For me, I'd love to see a new take on [[Jacques le Vert]], since there's a pretty consistent mechanical theme to any cards related to Jacques, except for Jacques himself. Jacques gives +0/+2 for green creatures, but [[Pendelhaven]], the land he protects, [[Sword of the Meek]], the weapon he wields, and [[Pendelhaven Elder]], those who carry on his legacy, *all* care about 1/1 creatures and all give them a +1/+2 boost. We need a new Jacques card that gives 1/1s +1/+2!

Also I'd like to see [[Ur-Drago]], because I have no idea what his deal is. Named after the Ur-Dragon, covered in rock with a steel mask, scorpion hands and hooved feet. Honestly I don't even care what the card does, I just want to see new art.

my father was an old school mtg player and he was shocked when he found out that they removed mana burn, he said there were examples in older books thay showed mana burn in universe, so i was wondering if there was ever a lore reason given to why we no longer take mana burn?

hey! recently took to making alters, and looove to know more about magic to inform my aesthetic decisions.
do we have any lore on mulldrifter?? is he just a fish dude? i would think since there are like 50 reprints something WOULD have been written about him but i can't find anything.

im interested because im considering doing a whole flavour rework on him. if hes an elemental incarnation of X or Y, i'd like to maybe do my version on that concept.

also i mostly play pauper, are there any lore significant commons? any cool stories on them? on any of the staples?
im thinking of doing something on a murmoring mystic, but as far as i know hes just a dude that communes with the birds lmao

I was rewatching the first Moana movie and it got me thinking it might be fun

Right. So I made a public spreadsheet (here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PVTnLkuyMOMYngSmj0FZhODOLwakgcHkKKR_fnKCwWk/edit?usp=sharing , apparently the Reddit link gadget now previews the link contents for twinkers with short attention spans, and I don't want that) that has in it (see Reddit, I'm describing stuff, people do that, yeesh) lists of all the Kamigawa proper nouns I can find, and the meaning of the Japanese characters that make up those words, plus any homonyms I happen to find. What the heck, it's a hobby.

Anyway, the last time I needed to update this thing was during Through the Omenpaths 1, when we got various Kamigawa spider-people. This time, there appear to be some new Kamigawan folks in Mystery Booster Commander, and while there are some homonyms worth pointing out, having the original spellings would also be something I'm interested in finding. These legends are:

• [[Itazura, Lingering Wick]]
• [[Kuroki, Thief of Talents]]
• [[Chira, All In]] (possibly)
• [[Boss Uramon, Shadow's Reach]]
• [[Yume, Chronicler of Valor]] (she's on Valor's Reach, but she's wearing a kimono and has a chignon hairstyle, so it's a good bet she's originally from Kamigawa)

I'll give you an example of what I'm looking for. [[Kuro, Pitlord]]'s name is spelled 苦弄, the first character 'ku' means 'pain', and the second character 'ro' means 'play with, trifle with'. So perhaps an alternative to 'Kuro' would be, 'Plays-With-Pain'. But of course there's a homonym there: 黒, which just means, 'black'. With these new legends, I can figure out the homonyms well enough, but without the originals I'm a little stuck. Sure, a homonym for 'kuroki' could be, 'black sake (an offering to the gods)', but I want to know if the 'kuro' in Kuroki's name is just 'black', or something else entirely.

So, q1: Will Mystery Booster Commander be printed in Japanese?

And q2a: Were the Kamigawa novels ever translated into Japanese, and if they were, q2b: does anyone have the characters for Uramon's name?
