>Gisela was no more.

With one line, Wizards has made me angrier than anything they have put out lately. I could stand Avacyn dying. I could stand the Eldrazi Winter. I could stand the Jacetice League's adventures and stuff. I could even stand the possibility we're going to lose Innistrad.

But them killing off Gisela by having her fuse with Bruna as an angel for Emrakul is where I fucking draw the line.

YES. I. MAD.

It's okay, my Giselabro. I was a Brunafag, let's be mad together.

The flavor is solid, actually. It's an eldritch horror from beyond space and time. Everyone's just upset because said eldritch horror has been established as something that is easily dealt with and very much understandable, as shown in the previous block.

If BFZ and OGW (and their associated lore) didn't exist, SOI/EMN would be the best sets in YEARS.
>>
>>47872900
I dunno, despite emrakul being a terribly predictable "twist" the body horror/turning people into eldrazi asthetic is super badass and horrifying, doing good work with a lame premise.

>>
>>47872934
I think it still would have been fine if kozilek just never got involved in the last block. Ulamog alone took all the gatewatch had to deal with, nearly gave nissa an aneurism and was a horrible experience all around, now there are two more, what could possibly be the toll of each of them?? would be a worthwhile setup. eldrazi can be dealt with, but jesus christ the cost. the fact that the gatewatch got a twofer on short notice is what hugely diminished them IMO.
>>
>>47872891

From what we gleamed, one of those scroll is Serra's Realm end.

Which is either Armageddon or something even more destructive
>>
>>47872934
I just hate the idea of reusing Jacetice League and Eldrazi's two sets in a row. Newmrakul being a shitty card doesn't really help, too.

The whole "mystery" and "clues" stuff where Wizards wanted us to believe they're actually competent and were just rusing us by pretenting it was Emrakul and not someone else was pretty retarded to swallow.

>>
>>47873020

On her fight with Avacynn, Jace was mind linked with her, and saw that one of the scroll could end the fight in that exact moment, taking care of both Avacynn and the above flock of angels.

Tamijo however kind of inherited those scrolls, and refused to use them, even at the cost of Jace's life

>>47873020

To be perfectly fair, I wouldn't spare a 2 mana removal spell to save Jace's life, never mind an apocalyptic board wipe.

The only way this story will be salvaged is if they capture Emrakul in the silver moon and leave her there for a while.

Then, when the time comes to face the phyrexians, they planeswalk the moon with Emrakul in it (since silver can be sent across planes), and crack it open to force a phyrexian vs eldrazi ultimatum.

Then the phyrexians, failing to defeat emrakul, instead complete the silver moon, turning it into a giant, dripping lunar sphere of oil, and use it to escape the doomed new phyrexia while searching for another world to compleat.

Nah, the flavor fail was pulling ROE out of the ass crack of Zendikar for no good reason.

What was the point of Wizards making weekly articles about the suspect and making blatant remarks about Emrakul in every single one of them? They were acting like we are complete retards, and since I HAD a little faith in them I just assumed the were rusing us. Woe is me, Wizards really are that incompetent.

It's had around sixty years to recover after the Mending took place.

TO BE FAIR, that's probably a collective decision from the creative team rather than Kim, and we'll (unfortunately) be seeing more of it from other authors.

I'd have been equally annoyed with the love trumps all bullshit if it had been a man and woman.

Is it just me or does there seem to be no actual eldrazi other than emrakul? Maybe a noob question and all the eldrszi on zendikar were just twisted versions of what's already there, but everything revealed today seems to just be corrupted versions of things that already existed on the plane.

Even emrakul has no devoid or annihilator.

true, but making them lesbians in an 18th century-based setting makes it extra jarring

>>47873785
Kozilek and Ulamog both harvest the land of the planes they come across and use it to pump out their brood.
Emrakul is different. She warps the living creatures of the planes she comes across and eventually twists them into her brood instead.

>>47873970
this is the saddest, truest evaluation of the current story. either the eldrazi are a wash, and it turns out were actually a laughable interplanar threat, great job wotc, or innistrad gets wrecked, we lose an interesting setting that players like and liked returning to (in general, the eldrazi and jace strained things), and that would be a permanent loss, not a mirrodin is now new phyrexia, all your nice things are compleat type loss.
>>
The final battle is about to begin.
Emmy slowly approaches the jacetice league, ready to finish them off for good.
Falls in an open grave.
Tragic slip was there when we needed it most.
Never forget.
>>
>>47874000
best case scenario, the league kill emmy, and then the dire consequences ugin was all uppity about happen way sooner than expected, and whatever they are allow bolas to make another bid for power, conflux style. the only current explanation is either a) bolas is a mustache twirling villain, the end or b) bolas' apparently one-sided enmity for ugin was so great he had to ruin everything the spirit dragon had ever touched, no exceptions.
>>
So what happened to the Helvault? Wasn't that thing supposed to stop inter-planar threats?
>>
>>47874098
thalia blew it up after liliana twisted her arm in the first innistrad. avacyn and grislebrand were trapped in it when we first visited innistrad.
>>
>>47873830

I mean having (mostly) 18-19th century aesthetic doesn't mean creative also has to copy the social stuff. Innistrad doesn't have black slaves and racism against red-headed pale blokes. You can argue the characters are very much "token gay" and the scene was fucking stupid, but the setting doesn't really factor here imo.

>>47873949

I would respect Wizards if they actually killed off the plane this time. Or at the very least have everyone remain deformed, that'd make for an interesting return.

Eldrazi ruined Zendikar back in the day, they made the return block utterly worthless, and now they're shitting up Innistrad too. And yes I'm talking both in lore and mechanics.

Eldrazi were an interesting idea that was handled very poorly. I wonder what would have happened if the jacetice league didn't coincide with the return to zendikar.

The Jatecy leugue will not save Innistrad for good guy are not NWO favorites.

It's literally the physical manifestation of an abstract self that is so immense that it manifests itself within others such that Emrakul isn't so much one big tentacle monster as it is any and all life that inhabits the same plane as it that lacks the mental fortitude to maintain an individual self.

In effect, a transdimensional virus that spreads memetically. Something that defies all scientific reasoning, a cosmic horror in the strictest sense. Literally just thinking in the same universe that Emrakul exists in can make you part of its being.

Honestly it's a fine retcon from her original SO BIG SHE JUST ASSRAPES TIME ITSELF BY EXISTING incarnation back in ROE, which was generic tentacle horror by all accounts. Now she's less of a physical giant and more the BFZ-OGW attitude of "this isn't even their true forms, just shadows cast upon a plane."

Well if you suddenly became infested with Emrakulitis of course you'd tentacle the fuck out.

If you look at how BFZ started retooling the other two Titans to be like abstract concepts given form (Ulamog's consumption and creation, Kozilek's perception and knowledge), EM has completed the Triumvirate by casting Emrakul as the aspect of existence in body and will itself. Everything is Emrakul, and Emrakul is everything.

OK, so wait a second.

Emrakul was on Zendikar for weeks to MONTHS before it fucked off and nobody had so much as an errant tentacle growing anywhere.

Eldrazi is on Innistrad for FIVE FUCKING MINUTES and the entire plane is already its fleshwarped bitch?

That makes absolutely no sense at all.

Oh, and good, we're going to flush the established tribes and conflicts of the plane down the toilet for some more fucking tentacle monsters that the narrative insists are scary. Why the fuck did they even bother with Ormendahl if it was just going to be another Eldrazi set?
>>
>>47875640
because ormendahl is a demon.
>>
>>47875640
>Eldrazi is on Innistrad for FIVE FUCKING MINUTES and the entire plane is already its fleshwarped bitch?

You know how the hedron Network on Zendikar was designed to contain and weaken the Eldrazi?

The Cryptoliths on Innistrad are designed to amplify Emrakul's power. Anything close to any of the Cryptoliths is being treated as if they are in the presence of Emrakul herself directly.
>>
>>47875674

...Which disintegrated people when we saw Emrakul in Rise of The Eldrazi's fluff.

>>
>>47875704

Thats because WotC changed up their powers since the last time they showed up.

Originally, all the Eldrazi had annihilator. In BfZ, the approaach they took was to make each Titan unique. Annihilator became Ulamogs gimmick, Kozilek undoes the laws of physics with some mind control and gravity powers, and Emrakul warps the minds and bodies of everything around her and can speed up or slow down time.

Its hardly the most egregious retcon wizards has ever made.

To be fair, the Eldrazi were lazily written in ROE anyway.

As much as I hate BFZ block for missing the point of what made Zendikar great, the Eldrazi had far better treatment from then onward than their debut in ROE where it was just generic tentacle shit and a bunch of cards that either fit the generic tentacle shit by being colorless, or were drone spam with no real tie to the tribe what with being colored and not really having a theme beyond LOOK, FREE COLORLESS LOTUS PETALS.

Or retcons to ENABLE lazy writing.

They can't say "Look! Tentacles! Vague reference to marine life! People acting cultish! How about all that Eldritch Horror, huh?" if the Eldrazi just dust everything.

Why they felt the need, like so many people, to crowbar theme park Lovecraft into a gothic horror setting is beyond me. It just makes it seem like they returned to a plane a lot of people liked with the express purpose of taking a big steaming dump on everything people liked about it.

To all you fellas who have been playing since at least original ZEN: How did the initial reveal of the Eldrazi go over? Zendikar pre-RotE looked like the dungeon crawl plane, and it kind of bums me out that it didn't stay that way
>>
>>47875886
>Why they felt the need, like so many people, to crowbar theme park Lovecraft into a gothic horror setting is beyond me.

Lovecraft's work was built off the framework of gothic horror anyway.

The whole thing about cosmic horror is that it's the natural evolution of gothic. You peel away the taboos in favor of stuff that defies scientific thought, going from tangible horrors that delight and entice to abstractions that birth fear and paranoia out of the inability to fathom how and why something is what it is.

And really, it's a lot better than taking a Lovecraftian dump on the adventure plane like ROE did. If there were any place that would've done better justice to an Eldrazi debut, it would in fact be Innistrad.
>>
>>47875952
they were kinda neat, very splashy, devisive, a lot of people DID NOT like anihilator. the set was a sharp right from the rest of zendikar which some people didn't like. the limited environment a lot of enfranchised players liked because it was very rewarding of skill, but it was also turned normal limited on its head. all in all the eldrazi mostly didn't go over very well, they were too radically different from everything else and couldn't find purhase. a lot of problems with BfZ block is from drawing from RoE mechanically and flavorfully when zen and worldwake were the sets that people wanted to see again.

In the abstract, the Eldrazi were cool, but I was hella buttmad that they dropped landfall gimmicks and YOU ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD and allies with ally synergies in favor of battlecruiser magic featuring impractical to cast ultrafatties.

There were some nice cards in the set but it was so much NOT MUH ZENDIKAR that I consider it set one of BFZ rather than set 3 of ZEN.

Mostly though, no more YOU ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD. Traps were really cool designwise.
>>
>>47876086
I fucking loved Allies and their RPG party feel, Eldrazi fucking ruined it and BFZ put the nail in the coffin. OGW allies are the supreme bullshit between the bullshit.

Its like poetry
>>
>>47876365
It is, but at the same time, Emrakul is a flying, trample 13/13. If you got a turn after their own controlled turn, you pretty much get a free 13+ damage, where you've pretty much decimated their defenses and leave them with no blockers, cards in hand, or mana for defense.

...That doesn't make any sense

You thought wrong. Cards in SOI that can only target opponents or creatures of opponents are Rabid Bite and Moonlit Hunt.

Removal cards in SOI that can also target your own creatures and/or yourself include Avacyn's Judgment, Angelic Purge, Burn from Within, Gone Missing, Murderous Compulsion, Reduce to Ashes, Anguished Unmaking, Compelling Disturbance, Dual Shot, Fiery Temper, Geistblast, Humble the Brute, Inner Struggle, Lightning Axe, Puncturing Light, Silverstrike, Throttle, and To the Slaughter.

Sleep Paralysis, Sinister Concoction, Dead Weight, and Bound by Moonsilver are all also enchantment spells that effectively remove creatures from play that can be cast on anyone's creatures.

Certainly there's going to be a tribal undercurrent, hell it'd be nice if it was a twisted satire of AVR complete with Miracle cards that depict horrific interventions.

...but then again, ROE was a set.

>>47877078
Eh, if they genrepunk it enough I might get hype.

If someone at creative comes up with a narrative about thopters that relates to the proliferation of consumer-available drone technology and how they can be used to invade privacy and a bunch of other shifty things all the way to low scale terrorism, that'd put Kaladesh block pretty high on my list.

Mostly though it requires that WotC be able to handle genrepunk in a tasteful fashion, utilizing it as a platform of social commentary and prediction in regards to how technologies shape our society. That is to say, it should really smack of modern times transplanted to fantasy India.

Plus or minus public defecation woes.

Coming from a Zendikar guy, real talk:
Bitch, your plane deserves it.

Nahiri a best.

Fuck Sorin.

Keep the tentacle ayylmaos where they belong, in the horror plane.

>a non-planeswalker
>surviving this block
As fucking if; even Emrakul's going to be dead or locked up by the end of this set

A huge part of the block was the light itself being completely extinguished from Innistrad. Set 1 was with Avacyn's decent into madness and most of the angels with her while humanity immediately falls into madness/insanity without their guardian figure to protect her all while the evil inherent to the plane lines up to murder what's left.

And now set 2 has Emrakul's arrival taking the Gothic horror theme of the block (monsters around every turn) and twisting it into Cosmic horror with about 90% of all life on the plane now consisting of Emrakul/things that answer to that name. There's approximately ONE notable angel left who hasn't gone "FUCK HUMANITY KILL THEM ALL" or "I AM EMRAKUL", the Avacynian church was already beyond repair even before Avacyn herself kicked the bucket and given how subverted by cultists it was before this happened probably is now the Emrakul church, and all the monsters are either still trying to eat your face off or are trying to do that while also turning into Eldrazi. The whole point is it's going to be the EVIL stuff of the plane teaming up to avoid being subsumed by the Eldrazi (so werewolves + vampires + zombies + demons teaming up to kick the new stuff to the curb, with the last dying grasps of humanity being caught in the crossfire as food for both sides).

Face it, Thalia is going to die/go insane/become an Eldrazi.
>>
>>47877337

Once you establish a horror setting like Innistrad, eventually you are going to have to raise the stakes.

There are a few ways to do that: zombie apocalypse, demons, or cosmic horror.

Innistrad already did undead and demons last time.

Your options were tentacles or to never see Innistrad ever again.

Welcome back to Innistrad.

Zendikar was originally good, until they ruined it. Then they kept ruining it when they returned to it.

Instead of taking it out on a plane that didn't get fucked up, they should have cut off MaRo's pinkies for his failures.

We were introduced to the demons when they were having their jailbreak and rushing off to lick their wounds, not as a major part of the setting.

Ormendahl striking back against the light once the demonic hordes have recovered their former strength could easily have been a plotline, but apparently he was just here as filler until the goddamn tentacle monsters could show up and take an axe to the setting so nothing can ever happen there again.

If the call was between never going back to Innistrad and going back purely to wreck it and salt the earth, I'd have picked the former.

Innistrad is by its nature eternally fucked up.

And when you think about it in terms of the history of genres, as the plane of gothic horror Innistrad honestly has a stronger claim to ownership of Eldrazi if one were to follow the evolution of the horror narrative.

They let Emmy live as the Silver Moon.

An incomprehensible anathema to existence itself, reforged to become the keystone that holds a plane in delicate balance. Also the whole ordeal scares everyone shitless to the point that the vampires and humans settle into a more lasting hierarchy for each others' survival, fixing the overconsumption problem Sorin had originally birthed Avacyn for.

Essentially in witnessing what a true monster could be like, everyone gets their act together and things end on a somewhat optimistic spot for all, symbolized by the setting of the newly christened Eldritch Moon and the rising of a new dawn.

What if instead of the Gatewatch getting shit done because they're completely unprepared and get softlocked by casual mindrape, it's the team of

Sorin, who realizes how much of a douche he was.
Nahiri, who got a suitable apology out of Sorin and is confident enough in her ability to unfuck a plane just as easily as she fucked it.
Arlinn, who doesn't want to lose her home, especially after mending bridges with one of her church pals.
Tamiyo, who wants to chronicle this adventure so that the Soratami can finally update their library to include cosmic horror.
And Liliana, who has nothing better to do, and kinda doesn't want her closest-thing-to-a-friend Jace being a mental retard for the rest of his life.

And its these old fogeys showing Jace and Friends how to contain a cosmic threat without something as cheap as Channel->Fireball.

The only alternative I've got is that Innistrad gets bumfucked into being Emrakul - the plane, and a new story arc chronicling the Sorin-Nahiri feud is added to the MTG story circulation.

But hey, if that happens, and the resolution has to do with punching Garruk in the face for being a Planeswalker-hunter, I could live with it. Mostly because it'd mean getting back to Garruk's adventures in planeswalker slaughtering psycopathy.

There's being delusional then there is them. It was so obvious. But this set will probably result in the Happy Time Friends killing Emrakul in some nonsensical way. So we'll probably never see Eldrazi, again. It will result in a very pissed off Ugin and there becoming some kind of imbalance in the mutiverse because the Eldrazi played some kind of greater role. It may not be the focus of the next block, but, it will happen down the road. Cap it.
