Hol up Back right the hell up So you’re telling me that the veil curse: the one that turned Ob Nixilus into a demon soooooooo hard that he lost his planeswalker spark and had to drain almost an entire plane’s worth of mana in order to respark it and half (that’s right HALF) way cure it. The very same veil curse that Archangel mother forking Avacyn couldn’t even cure when Garruk asked. and she was kinda designed to protect humanity from curses (ie the curse mute) That veil curse gets cured by some old pot in a river

Jace only made it so that the hedron would act as a bandaid over garruk’s curse. Keeping it in check till they found a cure. Other than I’m not sure how the holy grail(essentially) could get rid of one’s curse. Maybe if he died and it brought him back to life in his true form? Idk

I thought the story was cute, although maybe the War of the Spark novel just mercilessly throttled my expectations.

I completely agree and am entertained for the most part, but a quick comment on the green not getting Garruk a bird army comment. The means are a little strange, but green is most definitely renowned for "bringing down" flying creatures, which is the outcome of that little exchange. Yes, it would've potentially been cooler and more on theme if there was another way that he grounded oko's drakeform (like throwing an axe or casting a net (he's a hunter right? maybe he has one)) but I think the outcome of the action is quite green in flavour even if the action itself was not.

Maro himself has said that's why he got into Magic. The snippets of flavor text allow you to create your own story, whereas written stories, by nature, take away your agency as a storyteller. I think that's why he keeps going on about the "creating your own fairytales from the tropes on cards"; that isn't marketing for once, it's what he truly loves and is probably most nostalgic about from old Magic before the printed stories existed.

Re: Kenrith's type line, I think the problem is Human Noble Knight just doesn't fit since he's legendary. Since he's the king and not mechanically playing into knight tribal specifically, picking Noble over Knight does make sense. I think this is just a case of mechanics having to trump flavour, which happens all the time and MaRo always states that if they clash, gameplay has to win out. I'm more upset Garruk's curse was fixed so easily, which seems anticlimactic to me, but eh.

(Ryan) Nicole and I play Commander together at lunch at least twice a week, and we also love playing in the TCGplayer Office Pauper League. I'm really excited to play Brawl, especially on Arena, where I already play a ton of Standard. I've never really gotten into Modern or Legacy/Vintage though. But yeah I think my overall favorite is Pauper, but Commander is really close.

First the Curse Mute made by Avacyn a being made by a planeswalkers when they were still gods only made Garruk normal-ish, then the hedron made by two pre-mending planeswalkers only contained the curse from spreading further, but falling into a cauldron just fixes him. Like it makes sense from a fairy tale perspective but over all not so much. Also keep up the good work.

With regards to the confusion surrounding the questing beast and general questing. The book specifies that the questing beast grants only ‘The High Quest’. Which is to achieve all 5 knighthoods - it is also this quest that has the extra life sword built into it. Presumably all other ‘low’ questing works much like it does in just about every fantasy rpg where quests are initiated by anyone from NPCs to royalty.

So, they see all the Hype people have for Garruk as a character, see the fans speculating him as a big antagonist as the Apex Predator/Planeswalker Hunter and what they decide to do? Well, make him be intantly mind controled and become the new Character (Oko) lap Dog for the whole book until the point where they undo all his character development and turn him back into a generic green planeswalker who is now a glorified babysitter... Man, It's getting hard staying excited for the Vorthos aspect of this game.

I think I am going to describe the story like this: As a modern story where character development and world building is more important than anything else, I think this is a weak and pretty underwhelming way to present it. However... it does work from a more "Legends and Myths"-perspective. Think about it like this: How many convenient things happen to pursue the story forwards in Heracles' 10 Tasks? How often did any of the Arthurian Knights meet important story figures that just so happens to be in a specific place at the time? Loki from Norse mythology have a lot of very, VERY strange plans that 'almost' work out but then either fails or succeeds based on convenience of events? In other words... on any other plane in MTG, in any other circumstance, in any other capacity of storytelling... I would call it bad. Here, I wouldn't call it 'good' but I would definitely say it is appropriate for the plane we are right now. So I would give this one a resounding pass but understand why this book's story is as it is and thus' calling it bad would be dishonest towards the purpose of the book.

If the sword and the dead witch were thrown in the well, why didn't the sword revive the witch? Maybe the user has to "will it" or something, IDK. When it was mentioned that the Queen brought the twins back with her sword, I immediately thought "Oh so the witch will come back with the king's sword" but I guess not.
