What Happens in Innistrad: Crimson Vow? 

It makes sense why she’s here on this plane, not really a Viking plane tho

I just wish she'd actually create tokens on her own..

Would you say it … slayed you?

It's weird because that means Innistrad is actually super similar to Lorwyn, right down to the fact that The Great Aurora happened way sooner during the titular block because of multiverse shenanigans at the time (the mending vs summoning eldrazi).

I didn't take that as the Eternal Night is something that was already happening before Emrakul, I just took it as Katilda knows that what they just did to fix it will only hold for 1000 years. Admittedly it isn't very specific.

Honestly it’d just be a horrible clusterfuck unless they stuck to one world but because planeswalkers are generally the big main characters it’d just be a horrible incoherent mess to MOST people watching, even many mtg players. All that and wotc are terribly inconsistent about storytelling and the stuff they put out (magic legends is only one example of how poorly they handle their own IP sometimes.) they can barely make a card game let alone a show lol

there was at least a netflix show in the work but i havent heard any word since the pandemic begun

@@thatepicwizardguy They'd have to retcon a lot to make it a consistent story. As long as they keep the general main points of the story the same. I wouldn't mind some minor retconing

Time?

The Mending kinda had it's own set or even block. Time Spiral was all about it. One could argue that Antiquities was The Brothers War but the story wasn't that much a focus back then. Also I think that the Modern Horizons sets are kinda “flashbacks“? They go to different planes we visited and different times in those.

agree

The man is under a trance after being dead lol why would he be powerful at all

Naw it was perfect! Olivia is the (relatively) young, gold-digging new wife of Edgar, and Sorin is mad that daddy loves her more than him, and hates that she's going to squander his inheritance. Edgar even LOOKS like that sickly old man in his card to match this version.

I bet they're gearing them up to be the next biggest baddies. Nicol Bolas is alone. Phyrexians are a whole race.

Oh god, a compleated Emrakul is terrifying

I don't know what's creepier Compleated Eldrazi or Eldritch Phyrexians...

That plus we know the planes and sets for the upcoming year, and with nothing happening on New Phyrexia, we're not going to be dealing with them in-story for at least the next year. Though not unlike the mcguffin retrieval leading up to War of the Spark, it's likely we'll see more phyrexians pop up to get specific items from the planes they travel to. We know they now have the Cosmos Elixir, which has the power to turn the humans of Kaldheim into gods, and we know that at some point they found a way to travel the blind eternities. Though I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't at least one more thing they want from one of the worlds before Karn and Teferi take the fight back to them.

how do you feel now

Maybe this is for the best, it could make for some really good awkward drama between Chandra and Nissa in a future story.

And why that matters? MTG lore is for childrens, there is no real interaction between them; is the same be straigth, gay or bi, they never going to do nothing with that beside please the politically correct people!

@Geiner Elizondo Because children need representation to feel accepted by reality. Otherwise, they feel like something is wrong with them because they are in the minority and people don't talk to them about adult things.

@@RozzCraft This. Thank you

"beside please the politically correct people..." I stand by that; and now I know I'm right, thanks! (a kid goes from 0 to 10, after that, are teenagers. Don't infantilize your already childish society, please)

makes you wonder how long edgar's gonna be awake for, on what little juice she gave him. and relatedly, if her influence over him will break down and lead to a betrayal

Maybe during another visit Emrakul will release itself from the moon and decide that in order to allow Innistrad to become ready for the Eldrazi Olivia must die and we get a weird twisted version of Eldritch Moon except with the Eldrazi being on the side of the Gatewatch. I want my spaghetti monsters back.

@@aceundead4750 God I hope not. I’ve been eldrazi’d out since Eldritch moon. Maybe if it’s like another 5 years from now. I would much rather go back to Khans block then another eldrazi/innistrad set again.

@@joe.5103 i dont care when it happens just as long as i get the Eldrazi back. Honestly a standard legal Tarkir would be awesome because it was way out of standard when i started playing

At this point I think it's just fair to say "A Wizards did it"

Yeah unfortunately they were really set on only supporting two-color cards this time around and Jeleva is a three color character (traditionally, anyway.)

@@MagicArcanum Edgar was also a three color character, didn't see that stopping them.

The commander card depicting Edgar (three colors) and the card depicting him in Crimson Vow (two colors) are set hundreds if not thousands of years apart. He's allowed to drop a color in that amount of time, especially since he was asleep for most of it.

Even without a card, she could have at least shown up as a character in the story. Though I also wonder if enough people even remember who she was or that she's from Innistrad? I still got confused looks when I tell people since they assume that having blue in her identity made her not of Innistrad, though less lately.

Right? I thought they were setting something up. I guess we'll never know until a few years from now.

Isn't Liesa dead, killed by Avacyn?

@@Morte_n she came back in midnight hunt

Same

Morning!

Now that you mentioned it, I feel like the art on the bird horror is kind of... too specifically old-gods style horror.

@@haveiszalfaroqie1628 doesn't that card's flavor text explicitly reference the Eldrazi? If not that one, I know I read "Eldrazi" in flavor text of at least one card in this set.

Honestly I can see this happening, and when I saw Dominaria United I immediately thought that it sounds like a set the Phyrexians would be in. Here's hoping!

A planar war with the Phyrexians might force them onto the same team once again, but it would be neat to see if they can fix their own issues first, I agree.

New Capenna is a place important to Elspeth, not necessarily her home. Elspeth's home seems to have been too compleated to have a glitzy art deco city still in it.

Yeah nothing was said about the lights, unfortunately!
