MH1 isn't supposed to print only cards that can't fit in a standard-legal set.
So the purpose of MH1 is to print 10 cards that might be relevant for Modern and would break Standard, and then put 250 Modern-irrelevant cards or Standard-acceptable cards around it? Sounds like a great idea for a product.
I fail to see how cards like this couldn't be printed in a normal Standard-legal set. I can understand it for commons and uncommons where limited is a factor (though I really wish it wasn't), but I expect Rares/Mythics to clearly be something they wouldn't (re)print in a Standard set. Otherwise, what's the point?
WotC needs to keep up this way of storytelling. The fact you could reasonably infer the plot along with many details just from the cards, without any other lore sources, is amazing and something that needs to stay.
The Immortal Sun is probably still active when Gideon dies so he can't really planeswalk to Theros at that point. Of course, I have no idea how Theros souls behave when not actually on Theros...
On one hand, I like that the simple, foreshadowed plan of using the Blackblade doesn't work and Bolas had the foresight to guard against it. On the other hand, the plan that actually does lead to Bolas's downfall make him look even more idiotic.
He encourage Domri to take over the Gruul as apart of his plot to weaken Ravnica as a indirect agent of Bolas. Also since Bolas got planeswalkers to be his agents for Ravnica is pretty clear he was gathering some walkers to be on the plane already before he launched his trap.
Did he? Do you have a link? I'd love to read up on the details.
5) From a story standpoint Domri was a dumb reckless teen who got played by Bolas, out of the group of walkers for the war he was probity the easy choice from a story point to see getting killed.
Did he get played by Bolas though? I got the sense that Bolas didn't even know he existed before what happened actually happened.
That one things that happens between 2 major characters makes no sense, although I suppose we haven't seen anything that would specifically make it impossible.
That one characteristic of the Eternals also leaves me scratching my head as to why Bolas would make it so.
But I will give them this - I wouldn't have expected this resolution of the conflict.
And today's word of the day is... Reconnoitre. I guess there must have always been a verb to describe getting reconnaissance, I just never wondered what it was. You learn something new every day.
Nothing too exciting in the cards, though like everything with Proliferate, EDH players may find something they like.
Between Arcades, Huatli and High Alert, could there be a midrange toughness based deck in Standard? Probably not, right? Not enough advantage attached to the enablers.

That's not how card numbering works.

EDIT:
Loving what happened to Domri myself, especially the details around it. Feels believable (unlike what supposedly happens with the Golgari).
