Flame Dragon Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 So, how has everyone been enjoying the release weekend? Do any drafts? I got one in today. Pretty solid GB delirium deck. The icing was Tree of Perdition and Triskaidekaphobia. I was able to get the combo off twice, both in the same match. So I literally won a match with just two cards. Game one even saw me winning through a Tamiyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier Alexander Romanov Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 So, did we find out what happened when Emrakul got Imprisoned in the Moon? Cuz I haven't seen any cards other than Liliana's Oath that indicate they take place after that card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liliana joins, Tamiyo declines, and we know that they all jet off to Kaladesh next for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they just curl up and die? Do they revert back to normal? There's no epilogue or closure to this arc that has devastated this plane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delibirb Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 I got a box. Pulled Lilly and Tammy, both parts to Hanweir'mrakul, Eldritch Evolution, 2 Elder-Deep Fiends, Gisa and Geralf, Decimator of the Provinces, and 2 Docent of Perfection, to name the major ones. No clean-up operation?What happens to the various horrors on Innistrad?Do they just curl up and die?Do they revert back to normal?The planeswalkers just...leave? I would imagine they would curl up and die slowly, same as Ulamog and Kozilek's broods did. Though Innistrad will likely never be the same again, with so much of the population either part of the Eldrazi horde or killed by them. And with Avacyn gone and Sorin encased in stone, there's no one powerful enough left who cares enough to protect it from further in-plane threats. Unless Tibalt comes back?

With Godsend. And funk that weak-ass ending. I feel a bit cheated now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no epilogue or closure to this arc that has devastated this plane? They'll probably cover this in the story articles to come. I mean, the rough idea is there. Thalia, the Order of Saint Traft and Sigarda as Innistrad's new guardian angel are in charge of clean-up. There's no reverting back, I imagine. I mean, the plane's pretty much as crap as it was when we first visited Innistrad. You don't really need any more closure because it was never really a happy place to begin with. Edit: Ulamog's and Kozilek's broods did not 'curl up and die slowly'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Fascist Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 So what happened to Sorin and Nahiri? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 So what happened to Sorin and Nahiri? Sorin's alive, but basically as a stone statue, stuck on Innistrad, courtesy Nahiri. Nahiri planeswalked away, so she's off out there doing something else now. http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-story/campaign-vengeance-2016-07-06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Fascist Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Sorin's alive, but basically as a stone statue, stuck on Innistrad, courtesy Nahiri. Somehow this reminds me of the end of Empire Strikes Back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixty Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 attended a draft, drafted some bomb ass GW delirium, had to drop before round one because my house was very close to a fire and now your dose of vorthos: nahiri and sorin sparred. nahiri cast dec in stone on sorin and suspended him facing towards emmy, then she buzzed off. thalia procures avacyn's spear and is able to wield it without burning herself with holy light because of the saint traft's geist inside of her. thalia and co. ride to thraben, the biggest city where emmy is floating over, and get front row seats to the horror show that is innistrad's corruption. surprise, here comes brisela to knock thalia around a little bit. sigarda shows up and almost gets to be the third component to brisela as the two try to consume her. thalia channels the inner power of saint traft to sprout angelic wings and cleaves brisela in two with avacyn's spear. gatewatch arrives on innistrad and is pretty quickly overwhelmed when their original kill the titan strategy doesn't work, liliana posts their bail and saves them with her legion of undead. gideon and nissa are a little uneasy around lili because of the zombies and the chain veil respectively. gideon, chandra, and lili are on fighting duty, while jace, nissa, and tamiyo go to work making the moon into a new helavault. emmy gets shoved into the moon. lili joins the gatewatch, tamiyo doesn't, the gang leaves while innistrad has sigarda and co to take care of what's left. italicized text is stuff that i can only glean from cards since the magic story for these events has yet to be released.

Premier Alexander Romanov Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 [spoiler=HOLY funk]Tamiyo and Nissa didn't actually imprison Emrakul.Emrakul gave Tamiyo a special scroll for the binding spell, then took control of Tamiyo to force her to cast the modified binding spell.EMRAKUL LET HERSELF BE IMPRISONED IN THE MOON.However, I'm disappointed that The Promised End didn't actually answer any of the questions I had regarding those corrupted by Emrakul, and what happened to them.I mean, Emrakul turned a sizable chunk of the population of Innistrad, as well as multiple towns, lots of big beasties, and most of the angels, into her servants.What happened to them when she got imprisoned? Did they just die, or leave for parts unknown, or turn back to normal, or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesability Black Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Considering the nature of Innistrad, I wouldn't be surprised if the Eldrazi beings wind up finding places to fit into the dark ecosystem of the plane, similar to the vampires of Zendikar that were originally not native to the plane. (I think Sorin f*cked up on that one.) Innistrad, however, has the benefit of not having to deal with something akin to the Roil, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 [spoiler=HOLY funk] Tamiyo and Nissa didn't actually imprison Emrakul. Emrakul gave Tamiyo a special scroll for the binding spell, then took control of Tamiyo to force her to cast the modified binding spell. EMRAKUL LET HERSELF BE IMPRISONED IN THE MOON. However, I'm disappointed that The Promised End didn't actually answer any of the questions I had regarding those corrupted by Emrakul, and what happened to them. I mean, Emrakul turned a sizable chunk of the population of Innistrad, as well as multiple towns, lots of big beasties, and most of the angels, into her servants. What happened to them when she got imprisoned? Did they just die, or leave for parts unknown, or turn back to normal, or what? I mean there's literally no reason at all for everything to suddenly go and fix itself. There'll obviously be cleanup, but it's the least interesting part of the story and should just be implied. In all regards, they'll probably say something when they're all off to Kaladesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted July 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 I'm expecting a wrap up story come Wednesday that should address the mutated people and things as well as look in on the various major characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
