Its quite impresssive that there has never being a set made in Shandalar. It has basically become the place were famous people meet out or arrive by chance to later go on to start making history elsewhere.

I think this is most "honor" the old Magic The Gathering PC game, which is our first visit to the plane

@christopherb501 Ай бұрын

Or a ram to break thru interplanar boundaries.

@horrorreadersanonymous3533 Ай бұрын

Some of the old core sets, like magic 2013, are set within Shandalar. When Dominaria narratively evolved past "generic fantasy," Shandalar became their go-to world for depicting that kind of setting, so its been part of at least a couple core sets.

Oh, i do beg to differ. I can see Red, Green & Black managing well, but anything Blue or White being relegated to madness and the pseudo-demonic we see in most expansions. Was said they have alot of angels & soldiers there so there's clearly settled native culture. I can respect a plane so alien in its natural laws that its potentially fatal. Fractal, crystalline natives that insist its all reliable and sensible to them that any newcomers have to depend on Heavily as guides. That as soon as you start expecting rationality, mere perception eats away at you like a corruption.

@andresmarrero8666 Ай бұрын

I am surprised that there are so many planes that I have never heard about and isn't either a city or defined by a genre. I would like to see more of those.

@christopherb501 Ай бұрын

Bear in mind, there are still more. This explicitly excluded ones that weren't on cards. Gastal is apparently where Akul came from, and we might see more in the coming years.

Thunder junction was uninhabited but also has the catcus folk , idk if its an oversight or not, but I feel its weird no one has pointed it out.

Their animation, sentience and sapience didn't come about until after the omenpaths opened and settlers came. What triggered it is unknown.

@VBane Ай бұрын

@@samcates5308 Eh, it doesn't bother me that much. Cactusfolk is a natural mix of mtg and wild west, but they didn't want there to be native sentient species because they both didn't want to positively misrepresent that aspect of the Old West and also knew accurately depicting real world atrocities wasn't appropriate. Yeah, it would have interesting if they went into who or what was responsible for the cactusfolk emergence, but that didn't really tie into any of the story they were trying to tell so I get why they didn't.

She literally burned MtG's version of "The Library of Alexandria" to the ground. One wonders how much knowledge was lost to the embers when that little pyromaniac decided to have a bad day there...

@beachballofdeath8888 8 күн бұрын

IIRC Chandra was studying in that plane where Jaya had some kind of fire school. The school's philosophy is personal freedom as long it doesn't harm others. A evil Order declared everything they dont like to be destroyed including the fire school and that area. The Order hired Jace to take a dragon scroll (which ended up being the ugin's ghostfire card and the trigger for releasing eldarzi in zendikar) from Chandra. The scroll was in that museum. Chandra attempted to take it back but got attacked and the museum was set on fire from it.

Oh? We're not going to cover Bablovia?!!? Sure, maybe its not cannon being all Jokey-Jokey, but that doesn't mean a lack of lore! You've got less guilds than ravinica with each nearly godly power that probably led to the insanity. You've got Crossbreed Labratories and their universities with about the same goals as Simic but even more drastic. Anything from lawful cyborgs and clockwork mansions to Brainstealing that somehow doesn't do lasting damage and is a neat opt out to Mortality. The practices of the science taken to so far an extreme that they've forgotten their founding histories, there's beuty to the Unhinged~

@@ICantThinkOfAFunnyHandle That "doesn't fit flavorfully" is your personal, and in my opinion pretty out there opinion. Yes, some people might not like the flavor, but that is different from "it objectively doesn't fit MtG" which it doesn't. Don't bother coming up with excuses for trying to force your own tastes on others. And for the "powercrept" thing, we don't even have enough information about it yet to say that.
