Wow Rebbec is mindblowing. She was just a brief mention in the Invasion series novels of a past love of Yawgmoth.
I had no idea they would actually make a card for her... strange that she is the one who was obsessed with artifacts and Yawg was a doctor, yet Yawg became uber artifact lord later and Rebbec became Gaia.
Interesting stuff
There’s actually a novel from ‘99 in which she plays a major role. She’s the woman on the cover. It’s called ‘The Thran’ by J. Robert King and it’s the origin story of Yawgmoth and his Phyrexia. Very much worth the read for those interested in the lore.
Anyway, quite some characters from that book really deserve a card, including Rebbec (and Glacian, Dyfed and Gix). As far as I can tell, the only card ever printed in direct connection to the book is the Yawgmoth card from Modern Horizons.
Yeah "The Thran". Kind of really important to the origin of Magic. An uncommon does not do her justice.
Side Note: If MtG made a expansion called "The Thran", it could be one of the coolest powerful flavorful sets of all time. So they won't

Im disappointed given her importance to the story, and feel the emphasis on artifacts is a huge flavor fail given her status as an architect not an artificer.
Who said the original leaker was a retailer who got product early? I very much doubt that's true, especially since WotC isn't sending product directly to anyone anymore. It's all done through distributors now.
If someone was actually sent legit product early, that's a lot more serious than someone leaking info.
I was thinking the same thing. I don't know any stores that actually receive the product early. We have to pick up new releases a few days prior to Prerelease / release. We've never had to hold on to product for weeks and wait, that's the distributor's job.
Also, our 'preview card'is an email during the spoilers. Nothing is ahead of time for us.
Which also strongly points out to this being leaked even if they hadn't pushed back spoilers too.

"It is time. I have waited an eternity for you, Rebbec. You closed me out of Dominaria ninety centuries ago. As I grew to become a god in Phyrexia, you grew to become a goddess in Dominaria. Don't think I don't recognize you, Gaea. Don't think I don't smell your scent and know who you once were and who you once opposed.
I held you to my heart, Rebbec, thinking you loved me, but you made hate seem like love. It was a trick you'd learned from me. Now I reciprocate."

I've been waiting for Rebbec a long time, too! Thanks, Creative Team!
