That's a pretty decent buildup to resolution, all things considered. As it stands we've already stretched the war itself across 4 sets (with the setup being even further back) and all the while the heroes have been hunting for allies and strategies. Any solution at all is going to feel rushed because it is, that's a flaw of the compressed narrative, not the actual events. Its also episodic, so new and old enemies come and go regularly. Unfortunately that's just the nature of how Magic does their storytelling, via flavor text and short articles. Blue takes the best part of each plane's beings and tech and uses it to make itself better. White might be like The Empire Green might be well just as green is, survival of the fittest every plane is a hunting ground good luck everyone. The Phyrexian factions that control planes all govern them differently. Set stories focus both on the big picture political conflict possibly spanning multiple planes and also the small stories between people on individual planes. Planeswalking technology is omnipresent, it's frequent to see weatherlights cruising through the blind Eternities. Somehow Halo has been spread around or mixed with the Phyrexian Oil or something so that the oil doesn't infect things anywhere nearly as quickly as in the present story. I like this except I think it would be cooler if the Phyrexians were still around in the future, although splintered into different factions led by the Preators (if they live that long) or an entire new cast, all at war with each other. Then it crashed and burned so hard that Magic story was basically radioactive for another year or so, which is why the return to Theros and most of Elspeth's return is basically an empty hole other than a few hastily written web story entries. The reason why the bad Ravnica novels stomped on the neck of Magic Storyline is because they pretty much put the story entirely on hold for six months saying "Be patient and wait for the novel, it'll be worth it". but because they were shooting them out every 3 months, people were a lot more forgiving. Then you have a big pile of novels for years that sit somewhere between fun pulpy romp to pure, inconsistent trash. The Thran and The Brothers' War were better than your average pulp, and those tend to be the parts people remember.Įven the three Urza novels tend to get a little dodgy in parts. Really, there were only a few particularly good novels, they just happened to take their time with them and make them basically the core of their mythology. r/magicTCG is not produced, endorsed, supported by, or affiliated with Wizards of the Coast.
