Maybe no one asked for this, but i hope someone will enjoy seeing a few bloomburrow-ified planeswalkers

Featuring Narset as a Magpie, Quintorius Kand as an elephant shrew, and Dack Fayden as a black footed (and red handed) ferret

If anyone’s curious about why I choose these animals, feel free to ask, but I don’t want to bog this post with too much text unsolicited 😅

10 Year Anniversary of Dack Fayden Comics Ending

On March 19, 2014, the final installment of the original Magic IDW comics came to a cliffhanger ending with Theros #5.

Magic had published Planeswalker-centric webcomics from 2008 to 2011 for free on their website, however the Dack comics starting in 2012 took a big swing: Attempt to establish an audience for a then-uncarded Planeswalker and tell stories visiting the concurrent expansion settings (Innistrad, Ravnica, Theros). All of this during a time of low story momentum and transition with novel lines ending, main story drought during Innistrad block, the slow beginnings of web fiction, and a shift to enovels in Return to Ravnica and Theros.

While Dack Fayden would prove popular enough and receive his debut Planeswalker card in Conspiracy, our final chance to see him alive again wouldn't be until five years later during War of the Spark. Dack's storyline with Ashiok on Theros had been resolved offscreen, he was cardless in the set proper, and his death was broadcast in the cinematic trailer before the novel even released. Can't win 'em all... or most of them for that matter.

Dack's adventures were far from Magic's first or last stab at entering the world of comics, but they'll always stand out as the fan-favorite version. Cheers to a decade!

THE MAGIC PLANESWALKER ULTIMATE BRACKET, ROUND FOUR OF FOUR!

Kiora's gonna be quite busy this week, with this being one of her two bouts! Can the sadly deceased multiversal thief snatch victory from the octopus beak of defeat? You tell me!

Make your choice!

[transitranger327]

Fuck, 100%. I want to do unspeakable things with the Greatest Thief in the Multiverse™

What do you mean he’s dead? The War of the Spark novels aren’t real and can’t hurt me

whoops, reposting those since i accidentally set the poll timer to a day instead of a week

spin this wheel of every magic the gathering planeswalker (who have a card, and excluding noncanon and underage ones) and then choose:

rerolls allowed but only to get a character whose gender you're attracted to

WotC and Hasbro's desire to make Magic a real multimedia franchise never dies.

did some truly heinous renovations to the D&D server for April Fools

[boq-condor002]

I don’t love it but I’m still not over Dack Fayden dying

Has there been enough sets since the desparkening to get a sense of how players are reacting to the new average of one planeswalker per set?

How are you all feeling?

Do you think any of the deaths in the story were a mistake?

Dack Fayden.

I will never forgive.

“Mistake” is the wrong word here though, because planeswalker deaths happen for more reasons than just narrative choices by an author, right? Design space, popularity, etc etc all affect it.

I think my only regrets (not that I make any of the calls, to be clear) is killing off characters before they’ve had a good amount of narrative, but that itself was a challenge in a multiverse with 40+ Planeswalkers where we can only feature a handful at a time.

Magic the Gathering's YouTube channel shared the VorthosCast's panel from MagicCon Chicago today. They showed Oko's posse minus Annie Flash. Oko, Kellan, Vraska, Rakdos, Tinybones, and Fblthp. They confirmed Old Rutstein will be on Thunder Junction and then went on to theorize on what criminals would fit in there. They speculated on dead characters like Dack Fayden, people who haven't been seen in the game for a long time like Eron the Relentless, and seemingly confirmed Gonti, who has already been shown to helm one of the Commander Decks for OTJ. The only one I have interest in showing up is Gwafa Hazid. He had a cool card back in Alara and I'd like to see him get another.

THE MAGIC PLANESWALKER ULTIMATE BRACKET, FIELD OF 32 PART 2!

Poor Dack. Murked in a trailer. We hardly knew ye. Will he be successful against Vraska's murdery folk? You'll have to fill me in on that soon enough.

Make your choice!
