Minor point, but Uderzo only died in 2020.

Phyrexian Dreadnought

If The Clone Saga was comics accurate it would keep adding additional chapters to itself.

The original art of the character "Vorthos" as envisioned by the magic creative team.

Happy (early) Birthday Vorthos!
If you didn't know: Magic gained the term "Vorthos" 20 years ago as of the 31st!

I'll link the original introduction to Vorthos article below!

What does being a member of the Vorthos community mean to you? What aspect of being a Vorthos do you enjoy most?
#Vorthos

Amateur. We complained about the Mending for a solid decade.

(I didn't actually, I quit the storyline community for a few years because it stayed negative for so long)

Seems expensive. Hopefully someone was using a Black Lotus as a bookmark in one of these.

So a lot of ifs and buts and maybes, guess I don't qualify for the 50 bucks. I'll take 25 though? ;)

...she wrote the “Artificers are wizards who summon artifacts” version of the Brother’s War we see a snippet of in Song of Time, but that this was already altered by the time we get to the Antiquities War comics.

Also note that while "pre-revisionist" stuck as a name for the pre-Weatherlight stories, there never was one big revision, but several small ones, some before the Weatherlight Saga, some during. So it’s even possible that Teri McLaren thought Yawg was a planeswalker when...

But since Yawgmoth never appeared in pre-Weatherlight sources, so the forumites had nothing to speculate about, and we know from a Skaff Elias interview that there was far more Antiquities lore than what initially got published, I wouldn’t be surprised if Jeff got the info from his WotC contacts.

Unfortunately it also included some fan speculation, and these days it’s impossible to tell what was secret insider knowledge and what was ancient forum group think.

The oldest still extant mention of ‘walker-Yawg I've been able to find is on Jeff Lee's site The Legends of Magic. (Well, relatively extant. It’s in the Internet Archive). Not an official publication, but Jeff did get behind the scenes info from WotC insiders, like Pete Venters & Teri McLaren.

*pauses to stare longingly at his map of Dominaria*

It took so long before I actually got to see you...

Nowadays Jay is always careful to mention “only published sources count!”, but back in the day WotC creatives were much more willing to tease that there was all this lore that never got published, but still "counted", and that we might actually get to see some of it someday!

I think the best description of Yawgmoth in pre-rev sources is the Encyclopedia Dominia, which calls him... "a dread entity". Very helpful. But I do think there is a decent chance Yawgmoth was considered a planeswalker by people inside WotC at some point.

Information about the missing final page of Oasis!

If I had a nickel for every consecutive "If I had a nickel..." meme on my feed, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

These all seem like good suggetions for Magic's current Commander & UB-heavy form.

I'd also give the P/T sword/shield (or some variation on that) another shot. I've seen a bunch of new players mix up which number is which, and other TCG's also use symbols or colors to differentiate them.

Also, the sudden Dune/Fat Boy Slim near-quote took me out of the setting a bit. (This one only applies to EoE) A bit too on the nose, probably just a me thing.

Finished both the Edge of Eternities story & Ironheart today, and I think my verdict on both is the same.

Pro's: Both very good, among the best stuff in their respective IP's in the last few years, far surpassing my expectations.

Con's: I would've liked a more conclusive, less sequel-hooky ending.

Personally I always read pre-ascension Urza as autistic, especially in that conversation with Tawnos where he keeps going on about his artifact hyper fixation because he can't deal with his emotions surrounding Kayla, but that's just my personal interpretation.

Hunding Gjornersen had a form of dwarf growth in the Jedit Ojanen comic. His ret-conned status is a bit unclear.

Getting into more magical teritory: Tahngarth migth count? He considered his forced mutation a form of mutilation.

Maybe Geth, having a full-body prostetic?

Finally a character with some staying power!

Oh. Wait. HyLe. Nevermind.

Bring back Lycanthrope!

Not what it looks like

Bit late, but at least they know not to skip the post-credit scene.

Thank you!

Quick @scryfall.com syntax question: If I search "type:legendary", the results don't include Khod, Etlan Shiis Envoy. If I search "type:legendary art:dominaria" it does. So I don't really get when playtest cards are/aren't included. Is there a way to make sure whether they show up?

Beautiful city! I stayed in that hotel-boat on the right of the picture back in 2019.
