A Too-Close Analysis of the Double Exposure Treatments from Duskmourn (1/2)

Happy Prerelease Weekend everyone! During the announcement stream for Duskmourn, Art Director Ovidio Cartagena said that one of the goals of the "Double Exposure" Alt-art treatments was to capture the inner psyches of Legendary Characters. And that immediately tickled my neurons, so I decided to write a bunch about the different Double Exposures and what exactly they suggest about the different characters! This post will feature all the characters from Duskmourn who appear in the Main Story articles, with the rest coming sometime tomorrow probably.

(EDIT: Part 2 is out now! You can find it here)

The Wandering Rescuer-

In profile over the Wanderer is one of Duskmourn’s demons, seeming to show similarities to the demon depicted on the card “Vile Mutilator”. This demon in particular, and presumably other Duskmourn demons, possess the ability to kill survivors’ glimmers. The Wanderer is the only character we see in the story who has a glimmer, potentially because her will and connection to her home plane are strong enough to manifest one before any other members of the party can. So, having that connection to her home, to the place she has sought after for so many years and finally had the chance to return to post-March of the Machines, taken away by a monster… yeah, I can see how the Wanderer might be afraid of that.

Valgavoth, Terror Eater-

Unlike the other double exposure treatments, Valgavoth is the upper layer of this double exposure: he is the nightmare. He blends seamlessly into the door behind him, which is carved with a simulacrum of his core form. He is the House, and the House is Valgavoth. There is no escape from his grasp, etc.

Tyvar, the Pummeler-

Tyvar looks forward, fists raised in a fighting pose. His position suggests fearlessness, but a Cellarspawn still taunts him over his shoulder. “Oh why’d he be afraid of some random Cellarspawn” well he’s not, he’s afraid of what it represents. I posit that this Cellarspawn is the one Tyvar copies when he puts himself and Zimone into House camouflage in the main story. That action, while clever, nearly led to both of them being subsumed into the essence of the House if not for Zimone’s fateshifter. It represents bad change, the possibility that Tyvar isn’t infallible, and the way his transmutation abilities feel uncomfortably similar to that of Phyrexian compleation. But still, Tyvar stands proud and stares forward, ready to courageously curtail whatever may come. Also, only noticed this a bit after originally writing this section, but compare Tyvar’s Double Exposure card to Kona’s. Notice anything? The colors are inverted. Tyvar, the subject of the card, is rendered in magenta, perhaps showing how he is to be feared.

Kaito, Bane of Nightmares-

Kaito is surrounded by gaseous Cellarspawn who shy away from him, flinching back as though in pain. This, combined with his title as "Bane of Nightmares" suggests that there is something about Kaito that the House instinctively cowers from. Which, upon thinking things over, makes sense. He is a planeswalker: he has the ultimate trump card to ignore and escape the horrors of Duskmourn at any time. Plus, he is the only person we’ve seen who was actually able to pose a significant threat to Valgavoth, stabbing him through the chest at the climax of Episode 6. The ghastly cellarspawn are Valgavoth’s creations, and Kaito may be the only one they fear. (Kinda expect Kaito and Valgavoth to have an Ajani/Bolas or Elspeth/Norn relationship maybe.)

Niko, Light of Hope-

Niko is both layers of their double exposure, one calm and confident, the other in pain. Niko’s fears are all internal: fear of not measuring up to their ideals, fear of being forced to go along with whatever plans the powers that be have in store for them. Just as their magic creates reflections, the hand that skillfully balances five of their magic shards is reflected in agony on the "internal" layer. Yet, simultaneously, them being both layers of the double exposure seems to break the rules shown by the other cards. Extremely fitting for a master of their own destiny, wouldn’t you say?

EDIT: @greatdinn pointed out that, in the “internal” art, Niko’s eyes appear to be missing. It could be read as them squinting, but if that is the case it could suggest that Niko’s biggest fear is going blind and losing their skillful accuracy.

Marina Vendrell-

Kinda similar to Victor’s Double Exposure treatment, the wings of a moth is overlaid on top of the subject’s face. However, Victor’s moth is covered in eye patterns, while Marina’s has the shape of a skull on its wings. Victor sees Valgavoth as a source of knowledge or power, Marina knows he brings only death. Notice, too, the way that Victor stares forward, making himself a part of the moth, while Marina glances to the side, attempting to reject its existence. Marina’s only safety now is that of denial: accepting how her actions doomed the plane to an eternity of nightmares would undo her.

Nashi, Searcher in the Dark-

Hey remember that time Nashi was trapped in a cage by a group of wickerfolk who slowly picked off the other Nezumi he cane to Duskmourn with and turned them into wickerfolk? Remember how a similar thing happened when Nashi ran into Tezzeret during that one side story and Tezzeret killed a bunch of Nashi’s friends? Remember how Tezzeret ALSO killed Nashi’s birth parents and everyone else in his village? Remember how everyone who gets close to him meets a horrible fate, to the point that eventually Nashi must find it easier to push other people away, to remain isolated because the only reasonable explanation is that he must be somehow cursed to bring ruin to the people he loves? Yeah.

Winter, Misanthropic Guide-

Winter pinches his forehead, deep in thought. Layered over him is a dagger with a strange handle that morphs into the hand of a corpse. This blade is a reminder of how he betrayed and sacrificed his friend in the house in order to escape Duskmourn. The blade faces the same direction as him, as though primed to stab into someone’s back. The hand is either the hand of his friend, desiccated and decaying, and/or represents the agency he had in the betrayal. Despite his claims that anyone would do the same, it is ultimately a decision he made, a path he followed, and consequences that he is responsible for.

Zimone, All-Questioning-

Over Zimone's face is a book, cover detailed with gnashing teeth and pages flipping ominously in the wind. But, as the story points out, how can there be wind inside the house? Zimone does not know, but she wants to. She wants to know everything, regardless of how outwardly intimidating the container of that source of knowledge may be. The spine of the book makes it look like her eye is closed, which combined with the reflective lens gives her an appearance of sleeping reverie. Her desire for knowledge blinds her to other potential threats, which the House knows and uses to sow the lures of her destruction.

That's it for now! Stay tuned for when I release the rest :)

[jasper-the-menace]

I was looking at the Magic: The Gathering: The Visual Guide by Jay Annelli for fanfiction purposes and... Why are so many planeswalkers so fucking tall???

Ajani being 6'3" makes sense because that's a lion man. If anything, he should be taller. But Tezzeret is 5'10"? How?

Basri is 6 feet tall (and Samut is 5'8" so I dunno maybe Bolas just likes Amonkhet people being taller).

Bolas himself is, hilariously, listed at "approximately 35 feet tall" (and so is Ugin). Karn is 7 feet tall which is...fine? He's a big bulky construct guy. Teferi is listed at approximately 6', which is weird, because very few heights so far give us "approximately" right there in the profile. Liliana's 5'10" and that feels right to me.

Then you get to the Kenriths and Will is 5'10" while Rowan's 5'9".

Daretti is listed as being "6 ft in cogchair", which makes sense because those are his legs now, man.

Lukka gets neither his own page nor a canonical height, but based on the pattern so far, he'd probably be listed at 6 feet tall.

Sorin is 6'2" and that's a crime because somehow Arlinn is only 5'7". She should be so much taller than him.

Huatli is 5'2". Let that settle in and realize that the dinosaur warrior-poet is the same height as me.

Chandra is 5'6". This is the only one so far besides Liliana that feels correct. But Saheeli being 5'4"???

Tyvar is 5'8", which is on the shorter end of the men so far, which is utterly fascinating to me.

But then we get to the part that got me started on this tangent. What do you MEAN Kaito is 6 feet tall while the Wanderer/Emperor is only 5'3"??? Absolutely not. Oh, and for those interested, Tamiyo is listed at 5'10", though it's unclear if this is before or after being compleated.

Elspeth is 5'9" and that's passable. That's an understandable number.

Koth is 6 feet tall and that feels fine because this man is notoriously beefy. But it doesn't feel real that he's somehow shorter than Sorin Markov.

Kaya is listed at 5'7", Ral is 5'10", Vraska is 5'10", and Jace is 5'10". Of those, only Jace really felt shorter to me, but I understand that Jace is the ruler that every other character's height has been measured against.

Sarkhan is 5'11" and Narset is 5'8". Again, reasonable and understandable numbers. Sarkhan is a guy who walks around without his shirt and Narset is a martial artist who can kick nearly anyone's ass. These are understandable heights.

Gideon is 6'4" and, like with Ajani, this number feels correct but also not quite tall enough? Calix and Niko, like so many others, are also listed at 5'10".

Kiora is 5'7", Nahiri is 5'9", and Nissa is somehow only 5'2".

We get mentions of yet no height information about Mu Yanling, Jiang Yanggu, and Mowu (who I am counting; bite me) under the short profile half-page on the Plane of Mountains and Seas (before it was renamed to Shenmeng), and then we get into the miscellaneous planeswalker profiles.

Angrath is 7 feet tall (again, this feels correct), Ashiok is 6'10" (HOW), Davriel is 5'10" (he gives real short king energy for someone who is that tall), Garruk is 7'7" with the note that it "varies by around 1 foot depending on his mood", Kasmina is 5'10", Ob Nixilis is 6'6", Oko is 5'5" with the note that it's "variable" (probably because of the shapeshifting), Vivien is 5'10", Aminatou is 4 feet tall, Estrid is 5'6", Grist is variable because it depends on the size of the swarm, and Wrenn is variable because it depends on tree height.

Anyway, yeah, that's all of the official heights as of the Visual Guide. So many fucking giants. It's crazy to me, man.

[danco110]

“No! NO! Please!”

Grist willed her swarm and the corpse it inhabited to lower. A skull, fully infested with bugs, angled down to gaze upon a hapless human who had tripped and fallen. The insectoid chittering from within the skull bore no resemblance to regular speech.

“Hold it!”

Curiously, both Grist and her victim-to-be froze at the sound of a woman’s voice. The two held their poses for nearly a minute, until finally another call rang out.

“All right! Sorry, just had to get the profile of Grist’s…skull. Actually, I’m just about done! Take a look!”

At this, Grist relented and the man pulled himself to his feet, chuckling sheepishly at the insect planeswalker.

“Sorry,” he laughed, “for the begging. I figured it’d, you know, make it more realistic.”

Grist’s bugs formed the shape of two arms extending down from her skull, and shrugged.

“…Anyway! Let’s see what Rootha’s got for us so far!”

The curious pair moved around opposite sides of a nearby easel to flank an orc wearing an artist’s beret. The Prismari student grumbled as she harshly critiqued her work under her breath.

“The brushstrokes are too heavy here, and there. And the contrast is…Ah, but what do you think, Miss Grist?”

Grist made a high-pitched chitter upon glimpsing a portrait of herself. Rootha doffed her beret with a sigh, but stopped herself before throwing it onto the ground.

“I understand. You…didn’t like it? Or, no, you did!”

The skull nodded.

“Oh! Fantastic!” Despite Grist’s affirmation, Rootha immediately began downplaying herself. “I know, you probably wanted a Witherbloom artist to paint you, judging from what college you’re sponsoring. But Dina insisted-”

Grist interrupted Rootha with a sharp clicking noise.

“And…I’m guessing you’re telling me not to be so hard on myself.”

Grist’s response sounded suspiciously like laughter.

“Right…well, I guess you have a point! My work is apparently good enough to put up in public, after all!”

Rootha chuckled as she gestured to the Witherbloom hall around her.

[I like to think the rougher MH3 alternate arts are just paintings that exist in-universe! Also, I wish they’d do something with Grist in the story!]

[moisellethefae]

Hello there! I didn't know who you are and clicked on your profile because Tumblr suggested it to me, and I was like, why does Tumblr think a gamer fairy is related to Mark Rosewater? Your pinned post explained it quite well. However, there's one thing I still don't know: what is/was the Magic Story Audio Drama?

Haha well hi there! I suppose tumblr would still link me to Magic folk as that's most of what I posted over the years. Voice of All, the Magic Story Audio Drama is a project I ran for 5 years (2016-2021) where I, along with a cast of eventually 300+ folks, turned the web fiction of Magic the Gathering into a fully voice acted audio drama. This covered everything from Magic Origins all the way up to Strixhaven, with a smattering of extra stories here and there throughout.

You can find all of the podcast on the website linked below, or on Youtube if you prefer, though that does include a bunch of other projects. We're one of the few places where you can still experience the novellas Children of the Nameless (previously hosted on the mtg website but they removed it with plans to sell physical copies that never happened) and The Gathering Storm (A War of the Spark prequel that was only released as an email campaign).

If you ever feel like having some good stories in your ears, I hope you enjoy it! There's over 200 stories there. The first years (Shadows Over Innistrad block) is a bit rough, but I like to think for the most part the project holds up quite well!

Oh and also Moiselle here (the firefly faerie character) started as a Magic fan planeswalker, so bonus connection!

[bace-jeleren]

So the profile alt arts have the fears of the characters imposed onto them right? What does the wanderer's art depict then? :0 idk why but it reminds me of ulvenwald behemoth for some reason

It could be something she encountered when she was a planeswalker- that's definitely not a Kamigawa type of creature for sure.

[markrosewater]

When creating a new permanent type (such as the Battles in MOM), how much do cards like Lightning Bolt (i.e. deal damage to any target) factor into them? Just a thing I noticed as Planeswalkers and Battles (the highest profile new permanent types as I recall) have backwards compatibility with that specific wording.

It depends if damaging them is relevant.

[jasper-pagan-witch]

Gonna change my profile picture. Pick a useless MTG planeswalker man for me to impersonate next.

[arvadthecursed]

commander masters is bad and WOTC should feel bad. like 75% of the reprints are garbage and the foil etched/side profile and borderless cards/lack of good reprints does not at all justify the price.

at least we got a Vronos planeswalker card. I hope the Enchantment deck doesn't suck bc I was looking forward to it

[eight-freakin-gids]

So, it's my birthday! With the recent craze of character popularity tournaments, this is something I've wanted to do for a while. A birthday is as good an occasion as any. So...

Announcing the Eight Frickin' Gids Tournament!

All 8 Planeswalker cards with the Gideon subtype will be going head to head to prove once and for all who the Chad of Chads is.

Each poll will last for 24 hours, with 24 hours in between each round. The first round will go up 8:00 am CST on March 23.

Whatever Gideon card wins will become this blog's new profile picture, and then will promptly die in a heroic self sacrifice.

Hope you have fun!

Round 1 Matchups (Links to be added later):

Match 1: Gideon, Ally of Zendikar vs Gideon, the Oathsworn

Match 2: Gideon Jura vs Gideon, Martial Paragon

Match 3: Gideon, Battle-Forged vs Gideon, Champion of Justice

Match 4: Gideon of the Trials vs. Gideon Blackblade

A Too-Close Analysis of the Double Exposure Treatments from Duskmourn (2/2)

We return to the Double Exposure cards from Duskmourn! This post will be going over all the cards I didn't talk about in the first part, which is all the legends that don't appear in the main story (not including Altanak, Norin, and Arabella since they're all at uncommon so none of them got Double Exposure printings). Now, because we don't know much about most of these characters, this part will include a lot more educated guesses. Quick shoutout to wotc for posting the "Legends of Duskmourn" article a little bit earlier than they usually do so I have a little bit more to go off of. Away we go!

(Oh, and if you missed Part 1, you can find it here)

Toby, Beastie Befriender-

A creepy Jack-in-the-Box looms behind Toby's profile. Could simply be that kids are afraid of clowns, or perhaps something more? A Jack-in-the-Box is startling, and even though Toby says he has his Beastie friends to protect him, that would not make him immune to a brief startle, would it?

The Mindskinner-

A hand. Who is its owner? Unclear, but the clawed motif on the gloves make it almost look like it belongs to a Razorkin. From the Legends article, the Mindskinner is the fear of Razorkin, and employs a much more gradual and insidious methodology compared to the rest of the nightmares in the House. Based on this double exposure, it seems that not even Razorkin are immune to being targeted by its cruel whims. Plus, the only way to drive off the Mindskinner is to have your glimmer nearby, meaning Razorkin, who've already given themselves in to maddening pain make for easy prey. It might have enough intelligence to find this delightfully ironic, to torture that which first gave it form.

Kona, Rescue Beastie-

Overlaid on Kona’s profile is a set of canine jaws, facing the same direction as her. Two interpretations: one, that the prey instincts that were within whatever animal later mutated into Kona are still active and alive, that she still fears being snatched up by the jaws of some greater creature and devoured. Or, alternatively: those are Kona’s teeth. Beasties are, at the end of the day, as monstrous as anything else in the House, their masks being their attempt to conceal that fact. A beastie knows that if a survivor sees its true face, they will immediately flee in terror. The biggest fear of a Beastie is that its monstrous nature will be revealed, that for all its efforts it will terrify and lose those it seeks to protect. Or worse, that it will be the one to take them away, slipping back into bestial instincts.

The Jolly Balloon Man-

I've spent so fucking long staring at this one trying to figure out what the fuck that even is and I honestly have nothing. A kinda fucked up looking balloon animal? Some kinda I got nothin’. I will say, though, that I think the JBM's rictus grin is a very good demonstration of the way Razorkin have fully fucked up senses of pain/pleasure and such. But yeah I don’t like this one. Pass.

Rip, Spawn Hunter-

A skeletal hand, reaching upwards towards Rip, who has her back turned towards the viewer. Rip used to be a member of the Doorblades, the group of survivors who dedicate themselves to fighting back and eliminating as many of the House’s monsters as possible. Which, we know from the planeswalkers guide, is a group with a very high fatality rate. Turn your attention now to the flavor text on Came Back Wrong and the Duskmourn printing of Pyroclasm. Rip has a practice of burning bodies of those who fell in the line of duty. The skeletal hand is that of one of her former comrades, whose body she had to burn and leave behind. It represents doubt, doubt that she’s doing the right thing by cutting off any chance of grim revival for those who’ve passed, doubt that the human toll of spawn hunting is worth it. No wonder she prefers to work alone.

The Swarmweaver-

Ahh! The Bees! Not the Bees!! A living scarecrow beehive, with a giant bee layered on top. Insects, crawling within its being, beneath its wooden skin and throughout its spindly form. The Swarmweaver is a wickerfolk: maybe in life they feared what they now wholly consist of? Not a huge amount to go off of here- is what I would say if the Legends article didn’t confirm that the Swarmweaver can indeed still feel the corpse bees crawling around beneath its wooden skin, that they are constantly in pain and the only way they have to relieve that is to send the bees to attack others. Do you think they’re still aware enough to feel regret, for sending the source if their pain towards others?

Victor, Valgavoth’s Seneschal-

In front of his face is a moth, symbolizing his total devotion to Valgavoth. In the flavor text for the Special Guests printing of Sacrifice, they describe a ritual where cultists allow their fears to be fully consumed by the house, allowing themselves to be reborn. Victor has apparently undergone this process dozens of times, no trace of his original self remaining. The chain of eye-marks on the moth’s wings connect to Victor’s glasses. His fears are now inseparable from Valgavoth’s being: in a way he has made himself part of the house.

Marvin, Murderous Mimic- Another hand! Now, originally I assumed that this was the hand of the Razorkin who used Marvin as an intimidation tactic and possessed him, but according to the Legends article, Marvin isn’t possessed at all, and merely “quickened” when the Razorkin grabbed him by coincidence. Which is… not what I expected from the Chucky analogue and makes it a lot harder for me to explain what the skeleton hand means. Cool. I do still think the hand might represent a lack of agency, a vague memory of being used as a puppet by whatever ventriloquist originally owned him. Beneath all of Marvin’s psychotic behaviors is the fear that he might still be no better than a puppet after all.

And that’s all folks! I hope you enjoyed this writing exercise and all my philosophical wankery about this silly card game. I’m literally in the middle of my prerelease event so I gotta go now. Also plz read my magic the gathering fanfiction i have a lot of it and crave comments

Planeswalker Profiles: Thorhe Mertins

[mana-screwed]

In a world where history unfolded differently, Narset was the khan of the Jeskai, a clan of warrior monks. She seemed on the cusp of enlightenment, but her true potential remained latent, untapped. In this timeline, she is one of the foremost scholars of Tarkir's history-and a Planeswalker.

At a young age, Narset gained the personal notice of one of Ojutai's skywise. She attracted the dragon's attention as she would often mimic the exercises performed by both the dragons and her elders, mastering them after no more than a casual glance. The skywise recognized hers as a mind with the potential for nearly limitless growth, so she was taken on as a student. Narset quickly mastered not only the exercises but the Draconic language itself, and over the following years she became one of the youngest of the clan to learn directly from Ojutai. But as Narset grew older she began to feel restless. She harbored a longing, although she was unable to identify what for, and she started to question whether or not the skywise dragons truly knew all the answers to the questions of life.

When, in relatively short order, Narset achieved the status of master, she cared more for the autonomy that the position granted than the highly sought-after honor. She spent many a day alone, exploring the deepest and dustiest cavities in the Ojutai strongholds, slowly piecing together clues that illuminated the forbidden past. Her peer, Taigam, warned her of the danger in seeking out knowledge without the dragonlord's permission, but Narset saw no harm in research.

She discovered the truth of the past of Tarkir. It was not always a world ruled by dragons as the teachings of Ojutai claimed; at one time humanoid khans led mighty clans that dominated the land. Narset also learned of a powerful spirit dragon from whom all dragons were formed. It was this being that most interested her. She could feel something more in the histories that described him, something similar to her own wanderlust. She took to meditating in these secret chambers, spending hours that crept into days and even weeks without making an appearance above.

Now that her Planeswalker spark has ignited, she has the ability to walk the Blind Eternities, the space between planes, and discover new worlds, but her devotion is to her home plane of Tarkir. Narset knows that the mysterious past might hold the key to long-lost magic, power that might not just benefit her clan, but the whole of Tarkir. So she carefully and painstakingly continues her research. She will wait, ever patient, for her time.

Some amazing artwork featuring Narset.

Who is your favorite planeswalker?

My profile picture is a strong hint
