| Topic | Magic the Gathering topic: How did that purge before Prerelease |
| HeroDelTiempo17 05/30/18 2:01:55 PM #268: | Admittedly, I haven't kept up with the magic story since Tarkir and the start of BFZ, but I enjoyed the Dominaria story. I agree it was unfocused, but I don't think you can blame the author for that. It's a Legendary-themed set, so the cast has to be enormous, AND the Gatewatch needs to be involved, AND gotta namedrop as many as the unimportant Legendaries from the set as possible, AND put Karn in there too so we can heavy-handedly foreshadow Phyrexia coming back, and shit this is a lot of characters, make sure you find a way to """tactfully""" write off Ajani and Jace who are supposed to be here too. Given all those requirements, I thought she did a great job. Though you can tell she only wanted to focus on a subset of characters (Lili, Gideon, Weatherlight crew, Teferi) and the rest suffer for it (Chandra especially is god awful). But the writing really shines at points and she made me give a shit about Lili and Gideon, which I didn't think was possible. Did they announce who the next author is yet? --- DPOblivion was far more determined than me. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
