#Realmbreaker

[littjara-mirrorlake]

It's not clear whether Realmbreaker was fully conscious/sapient before Wrenn reached out to him, but it would be very reflective of Norn's particular strain of evil if her entire invasion plan relied on bullying a (Phyrexian) child into compliance.

Hey 8, here’s a gaming console and Elden ring! Have fun!

Pro tip: sob

("Weird, isn't it...")

("So many worlds. So much pain. But there's still enough of me left to want that.")

("Fun.")

In Magic the Gathering's "March of the Machine", Phyrexia's invasion of the multiverse will be shown on multiple cards throughout the set.

Pour one out for Wrenn and Eight

“The others were wrong—that tree is alive. I can hear his song from here. It's . . . distant, but pained. A howl without melody. He needs help, just as Teferi and the others do. If I were to ignore it, what sort of hero would I be? My own fright has little to do with it."

…I called it? Haha holy shit, I called it!

Now that the magic story has come out and we have gotten into spoiler season, I want to ask again how your Fan Plane would weather the Invasion of New Phyrexia?

Alright, in no particular order:

Ocaelum: Was deemed a worthless, dead plane by Gitaxian surveyors, since Realmbreaker emerged in the skies of various plane. As such, Ocaelum's inhabitants didn't even notice anything happen.

Moloni: The specifics of Moloni make defense of Sources orders of magnitude easier than attacking them, which worked out mostly good for the defense of the cities and castles... But not so great for the rest of the plane. Thankfully, the invasion was short enough that most of these bastions didn't run out of food or water or lose a siege, however, there might be upcoming issues from the logistic support of them taking such heavy hits. And maybe much worse if Realmbreaker dug deep enough into the ground to pierce the Nullstone layer and trigger another tectonic eruption.

Winrovah: Ah. Well, Winrovah didn't have much of a defense to put up in the first place, and Realmbreaker evolving in the Blind Eternities means it was protected from the effects of Aether and Void there. However, the same could not be said of Phyrexians it carried. Overall, a lot of death and devastation, and Winrovah didn't need that, particularly when things were looking not-as-grim for the first time in decades.

Geonne: Probably did the most averagely of all these, but it's mostly because I know the least about it. Probably more chimeras there than before, both compleated and not. The hybrids there leave room for a lot of peculiar compleations.

Ferely: Ferely had organized angels and really possessive archdemons that didn't want to lose their people to new masters. There were losses, but none of the archdemons fell or embraced compleation, so the worst was avoided. However, probably some compleated Saints and Apostates that created a bit of Havoc.

The Haven: Benefit of being aware of the threat well in advance, of having faced it before, and of having already prepared interplanar countermeasures in place. The actual structure of the Haven was mostly abandoned aside from one aisle before, but most of the population of the (small) plane was able to take refuge into it temporarily by occupying those parts of it. It held.

Eight, how do you feel about Nissa? And how do you feel about Wrenn?

Nissa... the lady in green... she said she would help me grow. So why did it hurt so much when she did? She made it sound like I would like it, and that I should be proud, but I didn't. And I wasn't. Not one bit. I grew so large, so fast, the entire Multiverse pouring into me at once. She was just following Norn's orders.

Did she even really care about me, in the end?

Did any of them?

Wrenn is different. When she shows me her love, I don't feel like she's lying.

Super cool card, and the flavor text + art feels like it’s suggesting New Phyrexia’s acquisition of Nissa was instrumental in either accelerating Realmbreaker’s expansion into other planes, or in getting the invasion tree started at all

(And if that is the case I’m very excited to see if other cards/ any future stories dig into Nissa’s role)

Okay, so with the multiversal invasion over and Omnath having been compleated, I'm curious if we'll see Averna pop up somewhere. Her backstory intrigues me and it would be interesting if the "manaquake" that caused her creation was caused by the Invasion Tree. I have an affinity for Elemental-kin and would love to find a commander for them. You know, because humanoid elementals are easier to identify with. 😉
