Dominaria United story?

Oh, you mean "Karn and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Phyrexian Invasion"

Tried to stand. Hundreds dead.

Urza didn't create Karn

Many people think Urza created Karn as a time probe for his experiments with changing the past. This is partially correct, he got Karn while researching his time machine, but he didn't actually create him. He retrieved him from another plane that he found that was already resilient to the stress of time travel... This whole time. Karn has actually been a Cyberman from the Doctor Who universe that Urza reprogrammed using Xantcha's heartstone.

The metallic human-ish shape matches, the time travel matches, and then when freed from Urza's commands Karn went to create an entirely metallic world filled with metal golem people like him. When that world got overrun by Phyrexian oil that seeped from him, instead of matching the original Phyrexian ideals of perfection being earned and fought for, those New Phyrexians were dead set on "compleating" and transforming flesh people into more of their own, by integrating more metal into them. This is just the typical Cyberman programming worming its way onto Karn's own Glistening Oil.

Oh, and some people in Karn's original plane haven't forgotten about him!

Karn

Both part of the Legacy and an individual in his own right, the silver golem Karn is haunted by a single, terrible incident: while serving to protect the young Gerrard, Karn accidentally took the life of another. Wakened from years spent as a statue, the golem has vowed to never kill again as he rejoins Gerrard.

Holy crap I just saw the token Venser makes (I haven't been able to purchase Phyrexia: All will be One yet).

It's Karn. Venser's last act was giving everything he could to his friend and mentor. Now twisted and animated by Phyrexia, he creates the last thing he remembers endlessly.

Does he know why he creates this specific golem endlessly? Is it done due to sorrow? Reverence? Mockery? Is he even aware enough to know? Eternally making empty versions of his friend. No matter how many times they are destroyed, he always makes sure The Hollow Sentinel is there. By his side.

Compleated Karn by Michael Katchan

Karn WHOMST?!

y'all i'm actually begging you please make this go viral i spent almost an hour photoshopping Lizzo, Silver Golem's braids as perfect as possible On!! My!! Phone!! pleaseeeee

i'll never ask you for anything again if you get her to see this 🙏😭

I love that even while describing Elesh Norn in all her horribly evil glory, the authors still cannot help but drop in a “she’s REALLY pretty btw.”

i have a theory that at the end of everything Urabrask will gain a spark

, if Compleation cant be reversed. he could help rehabilitate the sleepers, the newts etc thay dont want to invade and corrupt. creates a group/village/whatever of non infector phyrexians.

even helps keep any compleated walker relevant and still fucked up but more closer to their og self bc he could help rehabilitate them snd come to terms with their sense of self

and itd be soo juicy thematic wise:

Planeswalkers completed to serve phyrexia and kill and lose their "soul"

a phyrexian becomes a Planeswalker by gaining a "soul" and learning to emphasize outside his community to help and save and heal

it would be an affront to everything that Yawgmoth stood for.

it would be a opposite to what happened to Karn & Urza it would carry the whole breaking the cycle as Urabrask is in a son to Karn, he carries on a legacy of hope snd offers Karn to have a legacy he can be proud of

plus plus plus you could do whole plots of a being gaining true freedom for the first time and like his baby steps to being a hero and walker

Happy Halloween, with some quick Decima sketches, and general doodles. Her outfit is "Grandpa Warcrimes". Or alternatively, a tiny witch.

Candy Sylex!

Urza holding his child (carelessly).

And Decima giving one of @fierceawakening's Phyrexian Critters a hug.

There were a few ideas that I might explore as more "thorough" pieces.
