tezzert is the winter soldier to Jace's captain america
he even has the arm
>>48119177
Jace will use his mind magic to convince the pooloos to use the loo
Chandra will burn the shit off the streets
Gideon will rally the peasants to build public restrooms
Nissa will smoke something and make public parks
Liliana will use zombies to instruct people in using the loo
And that slated indian artificer planeswalker will design thopter-shitters that act as mobile toilets
>>48119226
...but Jace hates Tezzeret's guts. And Tezzeret wants to murder Jace.
Besides, Gideon is the Captain America of the team - the Winter Soldier is undoubtedly one of his Irregulars he nuked by accident.

Jace kind of has an important job on Ravnica he's been neglecting to chase after stupid puzzles, so he can't be on Eldrazi Organ Cleanup Detail
>>48118505
Gates dumbass
>>48120801
Of course he can. He can be everywhere doing everything. Maro already said that a member of the gatewatch will be in every block from here onwards, so either get used to these idiots or expect more planeswalkers to be shoved into this meaningless club with all the grace and intelligence of a pig in heat.
>>48120865
if enough people voiced there disapproval of maro and his gatewatch bullshit wizards would have to take notice and put a stop to it

>>48120865
If I recall, the quote said that at least one member will be involved in every set.
In a better universe, it would be possible for one member to just explore a plane by themselves, and/or take on a more subdued role in the events of the block, without necessarily twisting the entire set to revolve around them.
But they won't do that.
>>48121091
It did in AVR
And that was 20 people whining
kaladesh and aether revolt had better be good I'm done with mtg after those if it doesn't improve

i think there's a bit of a difference between the two.

>>48125987
She's so noncommital about it. I don't think she's gonna keep watch. I think she's gonna set it all on fire.
>>48125967
honestly, not soon enough. Also, I wonder what Tamiyo's stance on Phyrexia is?
>>48125967
I don't know which I hate more. New Phyrexia or the League.
>>48125727
The "plane" in "planeswalker" refers to planes of existence which is tantamount to dimension.

The term was coined back when the Magic lore was yet to be solidified.

>>48126061
I don't hate New Phyrexia in a vacuum. I hate it because they fucked Mirrodin to make it.
>>48126075
to be fair, Mirrodin was always going to become New Phyrexia.
>>48126056
And it is one of the things that hasn't changed since the game was created.
>>48126093
Yeah, I know they worked that out ahead of time. They also did that with Tarkir, and it was equally bad there.
Fucking up perfectly good planes seems to be their plot crutch, honestly.
>>48126075
I dislike it because of all the damn Nornfaggots.
That is not how you treat Yawgmoth's legacy, damnit.

Wait, maybe this is foreshadowing for a fuure threat that will make use of gates to go from plane to plane?
>>48126129
don't worry. Norn is going to get BTFO whenThe raven man turns out to be Mishra possessed by Yawgmoth who trick Lil into reviving him.
>>48126031
It's very very interesting and she'd like to watch it from a safe distance
Tamiyo is a historian, non-interventionalist, and field researcher (god it's going to feel awkward to use that phrase now that they've actually named her that)
Her entire thing is floating around, not interfering, and studying shit that goes down
>we want the avengers audience
people complained about the weatherlight crew, but they were miles more interesting despite being pretty much the exact same concept
>>48126165
>>48126031
Was she around for Old Phyrexia? If so she might know what horrible shenanigans will happen if they begin to take over.
>>48126143
The Raven Man is just a mental construct of Liliana's, an 'outside force' she can blame as having 'made her do' something like she always does. Because nothing is ever her fault.
>>48126143
>Norn is going to get BTFO
No. It will only create a new political split. Much more interest... oh wait, we're talking about WotC writers here, nevermind.
>>48126170
Weatherlight wasn't a bad idea necessarily. The snarky flavor text was tedious and annoying. Every one of them had to be a snarky asshole with annoying "clever" quips.
>>48126143
That's much more interesting than anything Wizards will come up with.
>>48125987
Jace's oath flavor text doesn't sound Blue at all.
>>48126177
She has the tale of the destruction of Serra's Realm in one of her locked scrolls but I don't think she said it was her own writing, so it's anyone's guess as to how long she's been around
>>48126190
But they still do that now with these clowns, though.
>>48126210
>destruction of Serra's Realm
Tamiyo nukes a plane when?
>>48126231
I don't disagree.
>>48126044
>>48126101
dominaria was and is the original planet
the shit you're talking about was made up by some rosewater faggot later
>>48126253
But we knew there were other planes at that point.
Hence Phyrexia.
>>48126210
Actually, the one about the myr was an original work, and that was set shortly after the fall of Memnarch, so she's not far off from having been around for old phyrexia
OG Mirrodin was before the mending too, so she's most likely an Oldwalker
>>48126205
That's because Jace, the character, is blue/white, with a somewhat heavier blue focus.
But they can't print him in blue/white because everyone will go HE JOINED THE AZORIUS due to his ties to Ravnica. So he gets monoblue cards.
Does Nissa have any character depth whatsoever?

>>48126267
Mirrodin didn't exist until well after a hundred years past the end of the Invasion. And Memnarch's fall was long after Argentum became Mirrodin. There's a SIGNIFICANT gap between Old Phyrexia's fall and Memnarch's fall.
>>48126275
Honestly? No, because they've retconned her so much that not even the authors know which parts of her story are canon and which are not, making everything a confusing mess even within a single story. Her main characterization currently is an overdependence on a specific elemental only found on Zendikar, and an overusage of the word 'oh'

They've stated that, like everything else on Rath, the slivers weren't either.
They also aren't native to Shandalar.

>>48126455
Gatewatch is literally a demographic-hitting Avengers ripoff.

It wasn't the same at all. Gerrard and his crew of retards were getting BTFO constantly and most of them died over the course of the story. You won't get that from this sentai team of mary sue planeswalkers who manage to reach a comfy resolution at the end of each block.
>>48126380
This is like the 3rd time in the 3rd thread you've replied with the same comment.
Plane was a term created long before mtg lore was solidified. I have to explain this to nerds every other day.

>>48126371

That was also a time where Wizards knew that near perfect killing machines wouldn't be a cakewalk to defeat.
>>48126380
>>48126433
ok yea not only was Wrath artificial it was also very young in terms of planes I remember that. It was basically a continent size troop transport.

planets in the 90's
you can usually tell when someone joined the game by their opinion on this
that and if someone says something like "man they must have really been afraid of printing great creatures after alpha, there were so many shitt ones"
>>48126614
Dominaria elves are acceptable, because that's classic magic. I never thought they were particularly interesting, though.
>>48126632
You're not going to get anywhere without a citation.
>>48126677
It's Rath. And that guys a post-Hasbro retard. .
>>48126623
>It wasn't the same at all.
they were a motley crew of varying walks/colors of life that were brought together to stop a threat to the universe
The EXECUTION was wildly different, but the IDEA is similar. And of course it's shit, they're all fucking planeswalkers. Before even getting into the atrocious writing, there's literally nothing keeping them together. You'll never see an entire set about them being stranded in the middle of nowhere because their car was stolen by jews.
>>48126713
>prove it to me or I win
i think you want /fedora/ just down the hall
>>48126632
Planes are named for their most populous planet eg Ravnica is the planet that you go to when you travel to the plane of ravnica
Planes are distinct universes
You cannot space travel from Innistrad to New Phyrexia, the Blind Eternities are not space
It has always been the case that the planes constitute a multiverse
>>48126623
It only really sticks out because the Titans were built up to be this huge big bad. And besides, pretty much any walker is inherently going to be a "Mary Sue" by the 4chan usage.
>>48126729
>wah, wah, I can't just say things assertively in a group of people disagreeing with me and be believed
>>48126728
Weatherlight crew were okay, but that era of "creative" for magic was terrible, full of nonsense cards that were terrible concept and mechanics mismatches.
>>48126783
Weatherlight crew were much more heavily pushed than new walkers. For example, I wouldn't really know how stupid a lot of new walker shit is if I didn't read threads here. I don't read Magic novels; I've never read Magic novels. Not too many magic cards feature Planeswalkers on them in most sets. Like half of all cards in Weatherlight, Tempest, etc have the Weatherlight crew and their awful quips on them.
Speaking of Alara, how did the shards work?
>>48126686
>planets
Yes physically But they never suggested that they were planets within the same universe that one could travel to with a spaceship.
They were just "places".
>>48118505
They're either watching gates or gating watches.

yeah, it's kind of a reverse situation
the actual story of the weatherlight was alright, but their card presence was suffocating
the actual story of baywatch is complete garbage, but the sets themselves are largely clear of them
just a shame they keep ruining otherwise cool sets with FUCKING dumb plots
>>48126583

>>48126686

"Plane. A plane can take any shape, from a tiny, featureless speck to a sprawling universe that contains multiple worlds. Because the Multiverse is boundless, it contains every fantasy plane imaginable, whether it's Lorwyn, Ravnica, or a plane filled entirely with fudge and bunny rabbits."

They had antlers and cervine feet, more akin to the Fauns of Celtic mythology than the satyrs of Greek mythology
How strange for the Celtic fairyland to have Celtic aesthetics
>>48127056
Except they weren't at all satyrs because Lorwyn was Celtic/Gaelic in its aesthetic inspiration
I just hate the current trend of making an interesting world and just sticking the Jacetus league in it and making about how they show up and fix/ruin everything. It hurts my interest in the setting because instead of focusing on some interesting natives we just get the bland patrol with their "I'm X color so I act like this" personality's. Shits boring

It's not because they called it the Jacetice League.
It's because they were spamming him with a shitload of things with foul language and derogatory comments (which he doesn't post on his blog), so he responded to the entire group via the one post that DIDN'T have those things. Thus making it seem like he's against the 'jacetice league' term when it's taken out of context, because people only post the one response and not the followup - while claiming what you yourself just claimed.
>>48127172
>current trend
It's only been two settings. And they decided to heavily intertwine the two.
Kaladesh will obviously have Chandra in it, but I doubt any of the other four will show.
>>48126854
Tempest is extremely damaged by this. Rath is a top tier setting by design. But Tempest is a very weak flavor set, because every other card is Gerrard and co and their guided amusement park ride.
Also, not really related, but it always bothered me how they turned the most interesting Weatherlight character into a roided out freak who takes the prize as the dumbest looking villain in Magic history. Ascendant Evincar looks retarded and is featured in so many cards with bad art.
>>48127346
A [Dirge]?
>>48127337
Technically three, but that doesn't change what the guy says. It is a current trend and something MaRo confirmed to be the direction of magic, having at minimum one Gatewatch character centric story in every new plane.
Don't be an asshole who tries to downplay it.
>>48127250
I dunno, man, I thought pulling a paragraph from the article you posted, that explicitly agreed with the sentiment you were trying to convey, was enough.

Most planes actually seem to be about the size of at most earth plus lunar orbit as the whole of that universe, rather than being a massive Our Universe sized universe that we happen to see a tiny speck of. Old geocentrism type deals.
Thus why something that eats planes of existence is a threat, yet not instantly consume the habitable known world the moment it shows up (while also not being a complete nonthreat from taking forever to eat a universe-size plane)
>>48127377
Is this new? There's basically been a "minimum one" of the Lorwyn five in every set until they decided to replace Garruk and Ajani. Unless it's always "By our powers combined, Gatewatch save the day" I don't see a problem with those walkers appearing regularly.

Because you are entitled.

>>48127452
Fuck me guy? Fuck you guy.
And it's going to be GATEWATCH specific. Get this, I like Ajani. I don't mind him appearing sometimes. I get sometimes planeswalkers take stage and its something Wizards try to include into every set. I might not agree with the decision, but it's what Wizards decided to do.
Now, seperating this part just for you guy. I don't like GATEWATCH specifically. They are not interesting characters to me (and those who were have been retconned completely into boring molds). I don't want to have every set with atleast one of them taking the stage. It's basically The Avengers at this point. And yes, MaRo confirmed multiple times its always gonna be Gatewatch saving the day or fucking shit up, regardless if whole crew there ot not.

The Weatherlight crew got beaten up, fucked up, tortured, imprisoned, impersonated, killed and sacrificed. All from the beggining and by the end of the story all had been BTFO.
The Jacetice League will face no consequences, hardships, changes or growth until at least two years after their stupid movie comes out, because they need them static for the sake of cross-promotion.

Liliana is a great character.

Not smug enough.

Gideon looks like what afrocentricists think ancient greeks looked like
>>48127663
If it was supposed to be that kind of grand thing, it should have destroyed Zendikar AND killed all members of the Gaywatch as a side effect. That would have been an appropriate cost for killing two Eldrazi titans. As a plus, it would have raised the stakes nice and high for Emramoon.
>>48127659
smug is not allowed
smug goes against the safe space, unless displayed by a strong female character in charge of her own actions
>>48127625
Yeah, I know. But that's why I like it. Shows that crovax is just gone completely.
>>48126346
Progressive means black men, muslims and white women.
They made Gideon look like a paki but can't add a nigga because the hysterical hamplanets that play and tell MaRo to check his privilege in tumblr are afraid of blacks.
>>48127663
It was a damn fireball and a cop-out anon, and you know it.
>>48127692
He looks like a tanned white guy, which is pretty much what Greeks are.
>>48127729
Maybe it's the artists, but feels like Gideon's facial structure becomes more and more african with each set.
>>48119683
But my favourite planes is lorwyn!
>>48126619
Swarthy anon here.
Yes.
>>48127754
Your favourite plane is DEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD (to Hasbro).
>>48126623
>>48127632
While I agree that they were better at actually putting the Weatherlight crew in peril and having them deal with the consequences of what was going on around them, it's also important to remember that by the end of the story things had gone full-on pants-on-head grimdark in a way that's really typical of 90's nerd media.
>>48127113
It's not consistent. Ally of Zendikar kinda looks that way but >>48127113
is newer and just looks like a tanned southern european.
>>48126253
>the shit you're talking about was made up by some rosewater faggot later
No. Simple as that: no. You are mistaken. Some planes are planets (Dominaria) some looks like planets but aren't (Phyrexia) and some looks like absolutely nothing like planets (Mercadia, Serra's Domain).

I just want that comfy and colorful fantasy
>>48127346
And he originally wasn't going to turn out that way, he was going to be the Token Black Teammate and Mirri wasn't going to die.
>>48127729
Looked*
He's currently about two blocks away from looking like big steve from englamd
>>48127847
Eat your Gatewatch story, anon.
>>48127851
I feel he dodged the "token black guy" thing pretty well from the start by being openly sinister and untrustworthy.
>>48127847
Kithkin apparently creeped people out. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't return there period.
>>48127113
You know, they haven't changed his gear at all, but upping the saturation on it all just makes it look fucking terrible.
Like, compare his outfit with liliana in the same image. Bright blue, green, teal and orange do not mix well.
>>48127503
I didn't say that they were. I said that MOST were approximately that SIZE - including atmosphere and orbiting bodies and whatnot.
Theros is a flat world with an edge you fall off of, with two coterminal worlds. Rath was a flat disc that kept expanding. Dominaria is confirmed a planet...twice the diameter of Earth, with the same gravity.
Planes are WEIRD. And they're allowed to be. They are not in any way actual planets.
>>48127902
He looks like he's from Cygnar
>>48127632
Dude what? Must I remember you of how Ob-nixilis basically raped every one of them except Chandra, fucked up their plan, freed Ulamog and hard casted Kozilek, drowned Gideon in a few inches of water after punching Jace and tortured them happily until they were saved by Chandra?
Or how in SoI the whole League presence has been basically Jace being mindfucked by Emrakul and kicked by Avacyn all the damn set while Tamiyo and Sorin actually did shit?
In the end they can win, but please do not pretend they don't suffer in getting there.
>>48126915
just because her right hand is out of frame doesn't mean its broken, anon
>>48127203
You know, you're absolutely right
I can't find any point of origin in Celtic mythological animals for the Roman Faunus
Everything else in Lorwyn is 100% Irish though
>>48127816
Hell, just look at Theros, where the sky is an actual place you can walk to.
>>48127884
As in, the one Black-aligned crew member of the Weatherlight, and stayed on the damn ship so it wasn't just 'everyone vs black'
I really want to hear the full original plan for the Weatherlight one day.
>>48128001
Oh right, the color. Just coincidentally also a black guy.
Before he got a card, I kind of pictured Volrath as blue since he was a shapeshifter and is featured in so many blue cards.
>>48127938
>>48127938
a) It's not even close to the same level as the set the Weatherlight crew went through even from the start of their story.
b) We don't see that shit on the actual cards. Remember when we got a card showing Tahngarth being shocked over and over again until he lost his skin color, having to live in constant agony and deformity for the rest of his life? Also on the same arc we got a card showing pacifist Karn being forced to kill goblins by his captor.
Ten levels above Ob holding Gideon's face in a puddle and we actually see that gruesome shit happening on the cards we fucking play.
>>48128001
Slivers were based on a design that had each individual creature be an aspect of a larger one, like one would be "X's Eyes" or "X's Hands".
>>48127851
>>48128001
We shit on MaRo a lot here, but I legitimately feel bad for how the Weatherlight story apparently got hijacked by the higher-ups.
Like, it wasn't set to be amazing or anything, but it sounds like his plan was basically "we'll have a d&d style party go on an adventure!" and it turned into "GERRARD AND URZA FIGHT TO DEATH IN THE BOWELS OF HELL"
>>48127976
I guess there's Dusios, but I think his association with Faunus/Pan came after the Celts and Romans intermingled.
>>48128054
Oh yeah, we need 90s grimderp in order order for protagonists not to be Mary Sues, totally.
>>48128104
>I think his association with Faunus/Pan came after the Celts and Romans intermingled.
I'm retarded. I mean more that, basically, he wasn't thought of as a goatman or whatever before that.
>>48128054
Oh and what card are you referring to? Because he genuinely seems fine here. I literally had no idea Tahngarth got those albino spots from torture.
>>48128105
Late 90s/2000s magic was dumb grimdark, but the threat of the recurring characters dying is a good point that could be taken from that.
>>48127122
She looks high on this.
>>48128104
>>48128131
That would be a pretty Roman thing to do
>>48128073
>Like, it wasn't set to be amazing or anything, but it sounds like his plan was basically "we'll have a d&d style party go on an adventure!" and it turned into "GERRARD AND URZA FIGHT TO DEATH IN THE BOWELS OF HELL"
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks Invasion is a retarded disaster of a story.
>>48128054
>We don't see that shit on the actual cards
THANK
FUCKING
GOODNESS

>>48128182
At least it's pretty fun to play, though.
>>48128207
I literally had no idea that was Tahngarth. And I love that card. I am used to Minotaurs dying in random instant and sorceries.
