Yeah the Sisters were the driver for it, but I never got the feeling like the Golgari were really all against it and were heavily forced into it. Again, I could be wrong because it's been a long time since I read those books too.



I feel kind of surprised the titans literally never showed up again in the story. I think it would have been cool to have one try to stop a nephalim and get wrecked by it. Would've been very telling to have a symbol of Boros power and strength get wrecked.

Last (first?) story spotlight card.

Consulate Crackdown does a good job conveying the flavour, except for that art. I guess those guys in the foreground are going to shut down a factory, but it looks more like they're having a parade in front of a government building.
... do previews always have stuff like "mtgstory.com" on them? I never noticed anything like that.

You know, if it was any other set I'd give that card's flavour my highest approval.

The story spotlight cards do. They're marked with a planeswalker symbol watermark and have "Story Spotlight X/5" on the bottom. See Captured by the Consulate.

... I had never noticed that before.

same I thought yall just had mystical mtg powers

Oooh, that is really an interesting change. But to me, I think 5 is just a bit too few a set. :+ Could use 10 and stuff.

And now we have a thing.....

Is the bridge mounted on Kaladesh or does it move to other planes? Does a portal open at the destination or is it only one way? Will it be destroyed by the Gatewatch during the Battle at the Bridge?

All I know is that I'm playing it in Commander.

From the last story we had with Tezz, the device seems to be mounted in a Consulate lab right now.

Theres also a paradox engine submitted to the fair by an anonymous source and I must know who. No mysteries allowed!

Considering its bottom apertures appear in the fifth story card mentioning Bolas, I'm thinking it ends up wreckage.

Tezzeret is building a big ass boomtube.

Today we had a pretty neat tale. Even some people on the Consulate side that weren't dicks.

But the Kambal-Tezzeret-Baral trinity remain hilariously evil.

Magic: all major antagonists are hilariously evil.
Phyrexians ?
Eldrazi ?
Bolas ?
Tezzeret ?

Bah !

Ding dong the witch is dead

It feels like the story relied more on audience sympathy with the Nalaars to sympathize with the rebellion more than it being a gray morality situation. At the moment, the rebellion does read more like an out-of-control Tea Party than anything else.


The Sisters ruled since the fall of Svogthir, which doesn't seem like it should be brief but maybe. The Salvation wiki indicates that it was only 100+ years that the Sisters ruled, which doesn't super make sense to me because of the massive timescale and long lifespan Ravnica works on. Savra would personally know Svogthir at that point and people in general would know who he is, but in-text, he feels like a semi-forgotten, legendary figure resurrected.

The Golgari in general does agriculture for the plane and they also give out free food. A child in the first book mentions she'd rather steal food (or something like that) than eat the gross crops the Golgari gives out.

Hm? The only indication I can find in the wiki is that it was about 1,000 years, which is correct. I just checked the first Ravnica novel, it's in chapter eight. Savra had been plotting their downfall for the last 100 years at that point, though.

The offensive against the Boros was orchestrated by Ludmilla, the last surviving sister, during the decamillennial.
