    From the trailer there might be more than 5 gods. thor loki flowing stone necromancer(hel?) heimdall and the guy going against reidanne give such vibe. Given that from previous videos theros block not all gods are shown we might still be looking at 10. So reidanne being orzhov is not off the table

    Edit: alrund for one is not shown

    Y'all really sounding like Jussie Smollett with these delusions.

    The idea that far-right groups use Norse symbology is a demonstrable fact. The actual Nazis used a bunch of them- the whole idea of the Aryan race was linked with this sort of history.
    This isn't a debatable point.


    You're saying that the Nazi's abused the Norse culture to generate their own ideas. That's a cultural rape and invalid. The Nazi part also stole a bhuddist symbol as their own. Norse mythology and Nazi beliefs are independent. They're not related, and if you claim they are its only because a group of people bastardized them into something else.

    Believe it or not, this happens a lot. Look at ISIS, the KKK, and other groups of extremists. Please do not bring these groups into discussion on these forums. These people are not a representation of actual culture and certainly have nothing to so with the FICTIONAL magic worlds in the card game.

    We are strictly talking about the fictional MtG world that they have designed for us.


    Just for clarification purposes if you refer to the tangled cross/svantix as being taken from bhuddism it actually was taken from ancient Greece

    The legendary enchantment has to be the world tree
    The legendary bird spirit has to be the equivalent of odins raven and the one in the trailer over the gatekeeper's(heimdall?)shoulder. The equivalent of surtr is either the demon berserker or the giant wizard

    Justice is neither boros nor azorious firstly, coz it doesn't contain neither emotion or logic before it contains pragmatism
    It is orzhov.If we were talking Judjement it could be esper or even azorious.

    I am kinda dissapointed the gods will be monocolored. I like they are not directly immortal but indirectly. I guess reidanne will be black alrund blue thor red and loki green.

    Gods have to be enemy colored if only 5
    Reidanne orzhov
    Alrund simic
    Equivalent of thor izzet
    Equivalent of loki golgari
    And a boros one, maybe the equivalent of tyr


    No Loki would be simic he can shapeshift/transform and shapeshifter is the simic tribe


    Anyway for anyone else what I see is this

    orzhov angels
    Boros dwarfs
    Golgari elves
    Simic shapeshifter (changelings)
    Izzet giants

    and Ally tribes known as well

    rakdos berzerkers
    Azorius spirits (the commander deck leak)
    Selesyna warriors

    So ally pairs might be lighter on tribal and all 10 guild colors might have a Tribe

    For dimir either wizard or zombie (draugr)
    And for gruul wolf


    and ofcoarse due to party mechanic on zendikar rising they are splashing rogue/cleric/wizard/warriors


    I would agree that "loki" could be simic but alrund is the god of wisdom so not sure he is green&blue

    I imagine blue black is wizards
    And white green is warriors

    Only gruul remains

    Creation of Niko had mostly the goal of getting people talking and sure enough judging by this thread it has achieved its purpose.

    Character is interesting being blue and all and a unique set of abilities that would be intriguing to see how they are represented in a card

    My problem with them is that it doesn't look anything like being from theros, given the facial features. When it comes to those i would think they are from amonkhet. I am not sure the born/initial gender is male as someone said.it might be the armor but to me it looks like they have a small pair of boobs. The goatee can be a spell, or paint or even transplant(we don't know anything about if it can be done in the realms of the multiverse). Additionally the face shape is too round for a male that is supposed to be slim.then again that might have been done on purpose with the character, to interpret them however they like.

    this is a great card for boros. Love the fact that we have multicolored sagas.

    Maybe gods are enemy colored?

    I am confused by the message? Is this them saying they will be less politically correct to tell a story or the other way around?


    It means they likely have lgbtq characters and if it offends the snowflakes at China and Russia they will let them block the story.


    Thanks for the answer. I understood it quite differently besides the blocking story. I understood given the nature of kaldheim they will be more rough and raw on the storyline including the lgbtq community.
