Elyv posted:Considering that none of those were involved from Inn1-bfz, that's a weird criticism. Innistrad 1 was initially unrelated, but is directly influenced by and leads up to Eldrazi-related shenanigans Theros is Elspeth looking for refuge from Phyrexians, as well as beings and/or weapons that can't be corrupted by them. Tarkir is Sarkhan resurrecting Ugin by undoing Nicol Bolas' fuckery so that the original Eldrazi fighter trio can seal them away again. Return to Ravnica is the only block that stands completely apart from the overarching, Multiverse threats. The flavor of Innistrad, Theros, and Tarkir actually isn't bad, each had their own plane-specific threats (Griselbrand, Xenagos, and Zurgo, etc) and at some point WOTC will learn that telling tangential stories works better than beating people over the head with "LOOK AT HOW EVIL THIS BIG EVIL THING IS, ONLY THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP CAN DEFEAT IT".

Rap Record Hoarder posted:Innistrad 1 was initially unrelated, but is directly influenced by and leads up to Eldrazi-related shenanigans I don't see ISD1 as being influenced by eldrazi shenanigans, nahiri wasn't released until avr and I don't think emrakul was involved by that point, they just used the events as a springboard to bring in the eldrazi 5 years later. You can argue that Tarkir and Theros took place with a backdrop of multiverse-ending threats, but they had little to know impact on the actual story arc of those blocks, just, at most, the motivation. Also I don't think Sarkhan knew that Ugin helped imprison the Eldrazi, although it was indicated to him that Ugin fought Nicky B.

And don't forget that, at some point, all kinds of demons started showing up in there as well. And then Sorin's goth-chick angel ended up chucked in there as well. Being stuck with that bunch is bound to make anyone crazy.

Rinkles posted:What did she do that was insane? She tried to bring Emrakul to Innistrad to get revenge on Sorin, which is just crazy given that those Gatewatch chucklefucks are there to easily defeat the world-ending monstrosity. She would have been better off framing Sorin as the actual harbinger - Sorin killed Avacyn which was the last barrier to Emrakul entering the plane, so it's obviously Sorin who's working with Emrakul! Get him, Gatewatch! Nahiri could even make some weapons to help them defeat Sorin and Emrakul. Why would a bunch of kids (and Liliana) trust a bloodthirsty, murderous vampire?

Retromancer posted:Do we even know why Sorin locked Nahiri in the Helvault in the first place? So hundreds of years ago, the eldrazi nearly broke out of zen and nahiri pushed them back into their holes but then she was like, "where the gently caress are sorin and Ugin they said they'd come to help if there was a breakout", so she goes to visit innistrad and basically goes "wtf sorin" and he responds with "oops this helvault thing I built takes me off the grid and I didn't think about that but that's okay." She eventually gets mad, attacks sorin, and is beating him when avacyn comes to save the day and then he locks her in the helvault

I loving love that once again, Sorin gets undone by his own arrogance and inability to give a gently caress about anything but himself.

After the helvault got broken, she was confused about why she sucks now, but then went to zendikar. She saw ulamog or whatever rampaging around and was like, "welp, zen is dead and gone, time to get revenge."

It's a shame everything that's a hybrid needs to be a [type] horror or eldrazi [type]. I really want to see Doublewolves and Spiderwolves. Also the City Council.

I mean she wasn't on board with the idea of sealing them on her plane in the first place, she kinda just got bullied into it by a vampire and a dragon, both with a lot more experience than her. I'm sure Helvault Time wasn't fun either.
