To be fair to Mr. Jones, that's probably more due to Zac Hill being the most awkward man alive.

Why didn't anyone call non-ghost Anafenza their waifu?

She'd crush my bones with the goat chariot and then remove me from existence, all while Mom still gets to 2/2.

patriarchy sucks
In the original Anafenza art, it's actually a goat that's Foremost in the picture. I like to think that in the original timelime, the Abzan were led into battle by a goat.

While there's a scholarly debate to be had on the precise nature of the waifu, it's pretty easy to contrast Honestly Looks Caucasian Anafenza and Sad Ghost Sparkle Sparkle Anafenza.

On one hand you have a tragic doe-eyed dead girl like your favourite animu, and the other has your mom yelling at you for crusting up the hand-towels when there's a kleenex box in every room you disgusting child.

Precisely. OG Annie was lucky enough to live into her ancient 20's. Ghost Annie was executed young and as long as the Kin-Trees survive, will manifest as a perpetually teenage-looking spirit girl who just wants to take care of everyone. (There is a straight up TV tropes article on this. :negative: )

Considering that you can't see her face at all on the regular art, my guess is that they just wanted to make up for it :v: That's dope though, I would love to see one in person.

I hope you guys weren't serious in asking why we're calling Annie-2 "Ghost waifu."

Its because they took a hardened badass on an Ibex-chariot and turned her into a sparklie doe-eyed sad face ghost girl.

Some developer notes. Random thoughts: surprised commands weren't in the set from the start, also apparently Sarkhan was originally Jund.

Fluff stuff. Apparently Sorin did something to Nahiri.

As I said earlier, she's either evil or his ex-girlfriend or something. Or she's a Phyrexian or something. In any case, I didn't expect she would return as mono-white anyways, since that's a color combo that's already being held by multiple other characters.

The Mending occurred as some point in between though. I like how Ugin doesn't mention "man my powers seem shittier than they did before."

He turned her into a vampire and then she became a goth after they had a very dramatic break-up. Her new card is her standing around smoking cigarettes and drinking blood coffee.
