At first I thought this was gonna be fine, but wow, not even short stories?
WotC’s really been going downhill in terms of story. First there’s the rushed Dominaria, then some decent, if underwhelming, stories in GRN block, then a crappily written novel, then another, then an ebook which is essentially paywalling the story. And now, we’re not even getting a story for Theros 2, a block that really needs it to tie up some loose ends?
Heck, it would’ve been cool to even see short stories like Dreams of the City, but we don’t even have that now. We’re in a golden age of Magic - sales are high, Arena’s doing great, the formats are fun despite the brokenness of Eldraine. And WotC’s throwing Vorthoses a giant middle finger.
He’s sort of a Charon-like underworld ferryman, but this time he requires the creature to pay in “coins” instead of your opponent paying in life. Very interesting design. I’d run it.
I’m really hyped for the Booster Fun/Masterpiece cards of the set being Greek frescoes. If Elspeth’s treatment is applied to other cards, it’ll be a cool touch.

And they actually did the black green vigilance flyer! That’s a nod to the third Great Designer Search, if I’m not wrong.
