The thread in which we discuss lore

[MuggyWuggy]

Because y'all are geeking out too much in other threads.

Feel free to discuss all potential lore.

Example: godsend and elspeth

That being said anyone know where Emrakul is or is it just float/stalking its way to hover over innistraad and cast a shadow...

I can't remember which BoZ card it is, but the flavor of said card refered to Emrakul as "her"

@Llama YOU GOT SERVED! ^^^^^^^^^^

LAST I CHECKED, a super crazy space battle between the Phyrexian and eldrazi would be dope

Phyrexians compleate Eldrazi, which in turn raises Yawgmoth!!!

In regards to the card earlier, {Vestige of Emrakul} stats that Emrakul is female. So if she is going to Innistrad, that sets up a war between Liliana, Avacyn and her.... Hmmmm

Ulamog is male, as stated on {Processor Assault}
Kozilek is unknown at this time

Successful thread is successful

[MuggyWuggy]

I mean if you like getting your efforts thwarted

[Distriimuir]

I guess technically their all still possibly one being. In one of the uncharted realms it mentioned that the eldrazi may just be projections of a higher being on a plane. Casting it's "shadow". Emmy could be an arm, kozi a leg, etc.

Just going by uncharteds and stuff Doug and maro have said.

Think it becomes an unglued card aka BFM

Magic equivalent of exzodia from yugioh

[Kaylesh]

It has been done before with {spirit of the night} and {viashino dragon}. Sac smaller creatures to put the big guy out. {urborg Panther}, {feral shadow} & {breath stealer} for spirit. I loved it.

And stickied thread.

Lore - not create a card

😜

[Kaylesh]

What did you have to sac to summon the Viashino Dragon?

And there was also that white Herald of that angel, sac a {W} creature, a {U} creature, and a {G} creature, go get angel

{Spitting Drake} and {Kyscu Drake}

{Angel's Herald}

That's the one. And I was wrong about the name. It's {viashivan dragon}.
Cruelty arises from opportunity, but that's great flavor there. Abilities + casting cost is the sum of the sacrificed creatures.

So what about the idea that the eldrazi are a manifested form of the blind eternities.

think about it, they are unknowable, they hunger, they "know" they are not supposed to be "here" but are supposed to be "elsewhere" (see drana story as she fed off a Sire of stagnation), they live in between planes
The blind eternities are unfathomable to all but walkers, it tries to tear apart anyone who passes through it, it only exists between planes.


Perhaps the eldrazi are the blind eternities attempt to halt walkers from messing with the planes, so it strikes out at the greatest source of mana it can find, Zendikar, and manifests as these nearly formless mindless creatures of madness that only know hunger, and they are not truly killable because they are merely projections of something else far greater....

Running as this is true, why would bolas want them released? Even he would be devoured by the "blind eternities" entity.

Remember, the Eldrazi were led to Zendikar by Sorin, Nahiri and Ugin...

[Mattacheu]

Wasent it that Nissa wanted to prove her self for some reason, by summoning an powerful creature and defeating it? Isent that how the eldrazi came? I might be crazy, but I think I remember reading that on the origins pre-prelease packs X/
Edit: read that, and everything made sense again.

Where is the link to that lore? I thought they were rampaging there when the 3 put together a plan to trap them...
