5colors posted a message on [KHM] Hagi Mob and Kaya's Onslaught— Shiro Games previewsOlwalkers where "immune" to being completed since they didn't have real bodies. Neo walkers can be since they have typical bodies like anyone else but certain planeswalkers have been given the immunity Melira has. In Quest for Karn (canon up in the air as it omit the praetors and only have Tezzeret and Glissa as leadership) when they found Karn, Melira was able to cleanse a lot of him but couldn't clean his heart was a phyrexia heart stone. Venser then teleported his heart and spark into Karn and let Melira finish cleansing the golem.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
Of noted being completed harms the soul in a similar way being killed and turned into a zombie/vampire does. It will fully snuff out a spark and leave the completed being no long a walker. -

TheOnlyOne652089 posted a message on [KHM] Leak. Vorinclex, Monstrous riderPosted in: The Rumor MillQuote from ashrog »(And I agree with whoever compared him to Beowulf's Grendel.)
If we get a Beowulf character and Vorinclex is slayen, well that would be big.
The phyrexian oil could spread slowly and in secret, without a big invasion of the plane, and the "heroes" could have their victory. -

fleshrum posted a message on [KHM] Leak. Vorinclex, Monstrous ridermaybe each praetor has found a plane that suits them to try and rule? the sets don't have to be set around one plane anymore do they? so we could see a secret invasion of sorts.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
i don't think teasing phyrexian presence means the plane is for sure a goner. these aren't your dad's phyrexians. -

Flisch posted a message on [KHM] Leak. Vorinclex, Monstrous riderI find it weird that people think this is ruining Kaldheim.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
You are now invested in the fate of Kaldheim. You don't want the plane to fall to the phyrexians. There are now real stakes. You are emotionally involved.
This is a good thing, story telling wise. Was Lord of the Rings ruined for you when Frodo left the shire and came in contact with the Nazgul for the first time and there was now the real possibility that he could die or be injured?
I don't get this. The magic multiverse is way too much a museum of planes rather than an ecosystem of planes as it is. More interconnectivity and agents for change are a good thing in my book. (And we all know that if enough people like Kaldheim, it will not fall to the phyrexians because brand beats storytelling.) -

flaming infinity posted a message on [KHM] Leak. Vorinclex, Monstrous riderThis is actually a really stupid complaint just like the too many products or card prices. There's simply literally nothing Wizards can do to make everyone happy. The real problem is we have greedy people that want everything to be entirely what THEY want. You can't even usually get 10 people to agree on toppings for a damn pizza, nevermind millions of people to agree on what makes Magic good and fun. Some people want more emphasis on stuff just on this plane while others want a connected interplanar story. If we're going to have connected story, it has to be something really important unless we're being silly like the blogatog comic about doughnuts. Even if we're gathing artifacts or something, there has to be a reason, probably an interplanar threat since the game is about combat. We've had 3 big interplanar threats now, Bolas, Eldrazi, Phyrexians. They've been implemented different ways at different times while a loud group absolutely hates it no matter the implementation. Starting with alara, bolas wrecks the shard aspect which was really popular. On Zendikar, the eldrazi wreck the very popular adventure aspect. On Mirrodin, the phyrexians wreck the popular metal plane and monopolize the story while people dislike the plane conquered by phyrexians and liked the invading better. Then, we take years off for Innistrad, Return to Ravnica, and Theros and people are upset that the story doesn't feel connected other than the hated planeswalkers. Of course, planeswalkers are very popular in general, but some people despise the pricing, some people despise the gameplay, others despise how they monopolize the story just like a big bad. Then, we head to tarkir where they wreck beloved 3 color khans plane for dragon (the most popular creature type) plane and set up for the eldrazi. Afterwards, we head for Zendikar where people whine about how the eldrazi pulled all the focus because there's so many of them and they also ruin what makes the eldrazi special by making a bunch of colored ones that are just garden variety horrors. Innistrad pulls back on the eldrazi but it's too much and too soon for some people, especially the people that don't want them on their beloved Innistrad at all. Kaladesh, the gatewatch mostly win without wrecking the place and after that and "no consequences" on Zendikar they changed it up on Amonkhet and let Nicol Bolas finally do something, annihilating the mostly unexplored plane of Amonkhet. Ixalan is buildup and mostly unconnected and does poorly. Then, we have 3 sets on Ravnica since people want plane as they knew and loved it and people whine about too much time on one plane. The war also kills off gideon, dovin, domri, and dack, some of the least popular characters and a member of the gatewatch that has a contingent bent on killing them all. People are also upset about that, especially dack who didn't get another card but also gideon, especially because he's very popular like Elspeth. Then, we go to Eldraine, Theros, Ikoria, Zendikar and there are complaints about not enough connectivity and Wizards forgetting about the phyrexians. Now, we're on Kaldheim and we're revisiting the phyrexians invading again because that's what people want them to do. It's pulled back, possibly to just a few cards but even that is too much for some people. If you go through the entire list, you'll notice there's literally no way Wizards can make everyone happy. It's just like card prices where people want the cards they own to be expensive but the ones they don't to be cheap. It's also like the too many products where some people want to eliminate releases, but everything that gets cut was someone's pet product. Even mostly maligned products like theme decks/planeswalker decks got blowback from their cancellation. It seems to me, Magic has done a pretty impressive job of solving pretty much everything that can be solved. What's left is literally impossible because you have warring factions that want contradictory things and are unwilling to compromise. No matter what plane they pick to be invaded by a threat, it's the plane somebody dealy wanted and even the least popular planes in history have a very vocal group that demands a return to what they love.Posted in: The Rumor Mill -

Creedmoor posted a message on [KHM] Halvar, God of Battle | Sword of the RealmsI was still expecting them to be indestructible, but I was also expecting a Ragnarok type of board wipe that could get around the Gods being indestructible. Gods dying to just... well anything... is a bit of a letdown, even though the card is cool.Posted in: The Rumor Mill -
