Man, I may be wrong on this, but it seems to me assembling contraptions is wayyyy too easy. Like, as easy as drawing a card, if this card is any indication, with the potential to be significantly more powerful.
Shame they couldn't do anything with the "Blood Magic" he was showing in story. Pay life and Sac a creature to gain control of one, or something like that.
That only works on Liliana, because of their contract. Doesn't seem like something he can just do willy nilly.

Am I the only one who would like to see Old Phyrexia before we make another phyrexian colony? I mean I personally would like to find out who originally made the plane of Phyrexia and what it was like before Yawgmoth got his hands on it.
Not to mention but Argentum/Mirrodin had access to soul cages which were designed to snatch individuals away from different planes. So I am pretty sure the neo-phyrexians were already close to discovering planar travel. Especially since the Thranian portals are everywhere on multiple planes. It wouldn't shock me to find out that their remnants lie hidden on planes buried for other to find and awaken. Urza himself discovered one and awakened it.
Finally I am so sick of this plane, its like wizards is trying to recreat the Thranian race but make it "cool".
Proof that Kaldesh is a ripoff of the Thranian race. [What has happened]The Kaldesh/Thranian have a power source system called the Aetherflux Reservoir/Fractured Powerstone which is pumped via pipes around the city which were used for all manners of things. Their entire world is controlled by a Consulate/Thranian High Council which use a tiered voting system to decide the course of it's empire. A divide in the populace grew due to decisions made by the Consulate/Thranian High Council. This led to a Aether Revolt/Thranian Rebellion. The arrival of a planeswalker Tezzeret/Dyfed only furthered the downfall of the empire. [What I expect to happen/Has happened] is that Tezzeret/Yagmoth will take his followers and artifacts out of Kaldesh/Thran using an artificier(Rashmi/Dyfed) to open a planar portal into an artificial plane. Then Tezzeret/Yagmoth will use these followers and artifacts to construct a phyrexian army.
Seriously go read The Thran by J. Robert King. Then read Kaldesh's story.
I think that's quite a stretch. Yeah, Kaladesh has a lot in common with Thran Dominaria, but the plots are almost entirely different. Dyfed's role has nothing in common with Tezzeret's, for example, and nothing so far suggests any sort of 'tiered vote system' in Kaladesh.
Yeah, there's absolutely nothing red about him in this week's story. He is emotionally detached, obsessed with organization and a ridiculously practical person, which should make him almost definitely blue-white.
Ok, this set is starting to feel crazy. Some cards are good and are in the lower rarities and then some cards are just mana dorks and are in the high rarity.
Do you honestly think this is a better card than the rare mana dork? Because it isn't, not by a long shot.
I guess it joins Leovold as Sultai cards with abilities I firmly believe should be primary in white.
As for Yaheeni, they're OK, but doesn't strike me as constructed viable.
(It's Thran, by the way, not Thranian.)
It's quite funny how the rares people criticize here, such as this or the green mana dork, are the one's that will actually see competitive play.
