Anyone else think Shadows is going to be longer than the 10 story entire we got for Battle and Oath? It almost has to be with this being #9, right?
Well BtZ kinda had more then 10 stories with those four set up stories we got focusing on Gideon, Jace, Chandra and Nissa. Plus they took two weeks took off for commander stories and I'm wondering if we will a break when Eternal Masters comes out. So in theory we could be getting 7 more stories.
I highly doubt that we'll see very much mono-white prowess anymore. We saw some cards with it in Khans block, but there it was a Jeskai mechanic. After being granted evergreen status, Wizards seems to have made it an Izzet mechanic.
I wonder if it means that his power was permanently diminished by creating Avacyn or if it was temporary? Nahiri's power post mending is also quite interesting.
Someone should throw the question back at MaRo. Why can't Arlinn be in Eldritch Moon instead?
We could always wait for a RG walker. Werewolf fans have been waiting for so long!
And since it's a small set, my worry is that this supposed legend is gonna end up as a cycle of gold rares like Mina and Denn. Good, but nothing special.
I'm wondering this won't be the tread with walkers from now on, 4 in the large set and 1 in the small set (I'm still thinking Tamiyo won't be seen in this block).
I'm guessing we will get a mythic legendary Wu Spirit, UB zombie and RG Werewolf to finish the cycle of Olivia and Sigarda.
I'm guessing we will get a UB zombie themed legend, WU spirit themed legend and the long awaited RG werewolf themed legend, since we got our vampire and human tribal commanders with Olivia and Sigarda respectfully.
A random UG legend would also be awesome.
Liliana will mostly be mono-black and I really don't think Tamiyo will be given a card in this block.

Zombies add R, with more of a Modern Prometheus (aka Frankenstein) vibe.
Playing through the campaign on Magic Duels, Tamiyo is 100% alive and not an a delusion. Jace meets her in the great cathedral in Thraben, where they are confronted by Avacyn and the event on Avacyn's Judgment occurs. Also confirmation that Tamiyo is experiencing the madness and delirium afflicting Jace in his own investigations. Tamiyo also has a new mugshot that appears with Jace, and his deck (previously a kind of mono-blue madness flyer deck) takes on white and green. Take that as you will. Could just be them making that Bant clues deck that suits the pair. The game just ends on the scene of Avacyn's Judgment with nothing else told, literally a cliffhanger. Not necessarily how the Uncharted Realms ends for SOI since it's pretty abrupt. It doesn't even get to Anguished Unmaking.
The long and short of it is pretty much nothing we don't know about yet.
Huh I must have missed the reference to Tamiyo's madness in the story (tbh I had to read it in a rush before my class started).
Huh I would have bet money Tamiyo won't appear as a card, but the new pic supports it, unless it ends up just being a spell in EMN.
This weeks story was okay, once again we get more questions then answers lol. I'm actually really excited to see more of Tamiyo characterization since she has so little lore about her (Tibalt had his origin story and a duel deck to help give insight into his character).
I wonder though, why is Jace feeling the madness and seemingly not the other walkers (except maybe Nahiri)?
Not sure it this is the right place for it, but there is a new video in portuguese in hanweirchronicle.com
The letter reads something like:
"I write from Hanweir province (formally Hanweir town). I understand that you have hunted angels lately, but we discovered something that may be of your interest.
Our wall's captain recently killed a werewolf between the city walls and was scared to discover that he had not changed back when he died. I have included part of his skin and the head of the arrow that killed he as evidence. Please answer as soon as you can - my city grows in apprehension and concern about the conditions of the world beyond our walls.
Thank you,
Oliver Hayfield"
I found that really interesting. It seems that not only the cursemute has changed, but the very nature of lycanthropy on the plane.
Sad to say this might be Tovolar.
Otherwise this could be a very bad sign, seems like the monsters might be getting stronger.
This story was kinda of trippy, I like the idea of the writing of this better then the execution. So it seems Avacyn maddness has been around a good while now and Tamiyo left her journal to Jenrik who then went to the Manor. Wonder if he was trying to warn the Markovs? Also seems whatever is driving Innistrad insane is working on Jace too.
That doesn't really matter thoough. I mean Avacyn symbol doesn't look like her.
I'm wondering if the order will somehow shift into being a new church.

Prowess is tertiary in white now.
This was still pre-mending.

And R is the color for that?
That's already what U zombies are.
