    I kinda hope he does manage to trick his way back into the pantheon. I can understand wizards not wanting to tackle that right away though.

    Either way I expect we’ll see a new GR god eventually.

    xenagos is unbelievably dead

    he ceased to exist anywhere

    I am aware.

    But if they want to come up with some reason that he can return that is a thing that they can do and Theros with all its weird rules isn’t the worst but place to do it.

    he's not even in erebos! he was utterly annihilated and him coming back would be just about as dumb as the eldrazi coming back

    Yeah but he was also a God so if they were to introduce some sort of mechanic of the gods that prevents them from dying even when it seems like they really really should it wouldn’t be all that big of a deal. I like him and I hope he comes back. You’re not going to talk me into thinking it’s a stupid idea anymore than you could In a marvel comics thread.

    Unless they pull something very strange I think Elsebeth is the one character we can be positive the Wanderer is not.

    There's still that theory with a little evidence that the Wanderer = an avatar of Emrakul, mostly the feather motif and similarity in some visual cues to Emeria, the bastardisation of Emrakul lore- wise

  • BahamutZEROBahamutZERO Registered User regular
    sure if you want to be boring and obvious and probably correct you could guess it was Emrakul

    Well I can’t think of another story where the cosmic unfathomable monster is the good guy.

    Galactus doesn’t count because I say so

    Im guessing "best case" with Emrakul theyre more or less forced into a malignant role. I think the effects they have on Innistrad preclude "good"

    In all likelihood nothing so far is Emrakul and they just stuck them in a closet until its time to come out again.

    I feel like it's a bit too late for Emrakul? It (she?) has gotten a fair bit of kinda-sorta humanizing stuff.

    Also, like, Emrakul made the spell to trap itself in the moon for some reason, and had that weird unconscious dream conversation/chess match with Jace, and pepped up Nissa in a vision. Weird shit.

    I kind of feel like we're going to see Emeria before we see Emrakul again, which is a strange sentence to type.

    Another important bit of info from this thread is that the Throne of Eldraine set mastery will have 110 levels vs the 100 that Core 2020 had, because there are more days between Throne of Eldraine and Theros: Beyond Death than there were between 2020 and Eldraine.

    Everyone gets rewards up to level 92, mastery pass gets you rewards up to the the full 110, same price as Core 2020 mastery pass.

    Hey I’ve been having another look at the set and was reminded that drown in the loche existed. Am I crazy or does this have real potential in modern? I’m not sure exactly where it goes but I a lot of modern decks are already helping this get online. It seems like without too much work this just becomes counterspell with murder attached.
