Heads up: You can commission an artist to illustrate the mask of the Myojin of Night's Reach, then an alter/proxy artist to reskin The Soul Stone, then play that

This era is all customization and options. Make your cards cool to you

While Magic has had an official story written by Brandon Sanderson, it'd be pretty epic if WotC decided to pull out all the stops (and checkbook) to get Robert Jordan writing a set story

I've been IN IT with Edge of Eternities this week. Not enjoying the gameplay really at all, but really enthused about the visuals and the fiction! You owe yourself to read the Magic story for this set.

Most media demands some amount of suspension of disbelief to enjoy in. But what if everything is working against that suspension of disbelief? Can the Magic of the media still be maintained?

A few thoughts about wrestling & Magic:

Only definition is Planeswalker.

Jarsyl, Tande, and Kellan are not Planeswalkers because they went through portals.

Conflicting sources

Early story warning
This article or section contains story elements that may be ignored or contradicted by later stories. Stories prior to Mirage were written by authors outside of Wizards of the Coast.
β€œWe often bury our pasts, and then someone comes along and digs them up.”

The following characters were considered planeswalkers in stories prior to Mirage, but this has been contradicted by later information:

Gaea ({G})
Mishra
Titania ({G})
Yawgmoth the Ineffable, the Lord of the Wastes ({B})

Chaney's status as a planeswalker is contested. She is described as having considerable powers (she can manipulate the flow of time) and she was surely able to planeswalks in her youth; however she grows old and dies like a mortal woman: whether this means that she didn't have a proper spark, somehow lost it, or simply chose to die remains unknown.

For over a decade now, there's been a claim that Yawgmoth was considered a Planeswalker in pre-revisionist lore (pre-Mirage/Weatherlight).

#Vorthos bounty: $50 to whoever provides a source published by WotC or a Magic fiction licensee, prior to October 8, 1996, stating Yawgmoth was a Planeswalker.

Messianic Time in Edge of Eternities On the future of the future

Still thinking about Edge of Eternities! I wrote today on how the set’s worldbuilding and mechanics are engaged with themes related to time and religion:

Three comments on a YouTube video:
"Regardless of my feelings with the rest of the game, the narrative team is amazing and Alison might just be the best thing to ever happen to this franchise."

"Alison is the best thing to happen to Destiny’s narrative team, I absolutely adore her energy when talking about the story."

"Datto once said that "Alison is just like that" when it comes to her energy and that shows through so much. Her excitement is so exciting"

"content," in its "content-ness," will be the material upon which GenAI is not only trained, but perpetuated. if what you make can be mimicked, and what you watch is indiscernible from its facsimile, then you've already set the precedent for the slow replacement.
