Thunder Junction Epilogue Spoilers
Jace and Vraska have a weird toddler and are traveling. And ridiculously in love.
But why are there people reading Jace and Vraska wanting rebirth for the multiverse as sinister? Liberation movements use the same language: a demand for renewal instead of fixing systems that don't work.
My goodness, why would a pirate and a former bureaucrat want something better?
They both went through repeated "deaths" and are still thriving. Why assume their goals mean something literal? People who love status quo sure do think change sounds like violence.

High effort meme I made for myself.
This actually happens in The Thran and everyone should read it.

Jin-Gitaxias: The Phyrexian language is a masterpiece of evolution. It takes years to mold a mind that can distinguish the letters, let alone—

Rhuk’s flavor text and epithet mischaracterizes him. He’s not just some stupid fucking treasure nabbing green guy. He’s THE armorer who perfected hexgold forging AND a brave warrior willing to risk his life to protect one of his causes most valuable resources! NOW LOOK! LOOK UPON THE CHARACTER ASSASSINATION!

Note: We’re Arab, not Native American, so listen to their opinions on this before ours.
I wanted to have hope that Outlaws of Thunder Junction would be handled well, or even just not awfully. But the evidence is starting to rack up, folks, and it aint pretty:
At MagicCon, Blake Rasmussen (mtg’s Senior Communications Manager) said that, “everyone’s a newcomer to Thunder Junction.”
Also at that MagicCon panel, Aaron Forsythe (VP of Magic Design) called it an “unspoiled land.”
Mark Rosewater (mtg Head Designer) says that, “prior to omen paths [sic], it was uninhabited.”
Could this just be three white guys saying White Guy Things? Sure. Especially since they’ve all shown themselves in the past to be kinda uninformed on the particulars of their product’s storyline. But it’s not a great look.
The narrative that lands are uninhabited and ripe for plunder is inextricable from the American colonial genocide of indigenous nations (which has never stopped). This is especially the case in a setting based on the American West, rife with the trappings of the imperialist genre of American Westerns, and fraught with the colonialist propaganda of “frontier fantasy.” For this world, they’ve even created an ethnic group explicitly based on the Diné nation, per the official MTG Twitter account. Yet they still chose to center the set’s story around the genocidal selling point of “exploring uninhabited lands to find untold treasure and fortune.”
Yes, they’ve said they used cultural consultants. And, sure, that’s gone well-ish (though not without great flaws) for NEO and LCI. But whatever influence those consultants were allowed to have on OTJ, it was clearly not enough. Because holy shit, even the (otherwise amazing) side story, No Tells, says, “Thunder Junction’s a new plane, one that’s still beginning.” (Do NOT go hating on the author; I doubt he had control over that level of worldbuilding.)
All of this has shattered my hope in the set being respectful, or even not actively harmful. You can say, “wait and see,” and we will, but we’ve seen a lot already—and gang, it has not looked good.

What I think is going on in the Jace Plot (SPOILERS FOR MTG THUNDER JUNCTION PLOT)
SO THE OUTLAWS OF THUNDER JUNCTION STORY SURE DID HAPPEN!??!?!?!
This is very heavily spoilered for the end of Outlaws of Thunder Junction's plot, and also the epilogue fics that are now dropping. I don't know how many more of these will be coming, but this is my theory and I want to get it out there before the fics confirm or de-confirm anything
Despite the fact that I have adopted Kellan unashamedly. I know that he is not everyone's favorite boy but I love him so much and his arc has been so good for me? But that is another post.
Let's talk about the end of Thunder Junction and what I think is happening... ish
So Wizards has confirmed the vault on Thunder Junction is from the Fomori. Which are a species from old Magic lore, that could travel the multiverse without the need of a planeswalker spark. Many smarter people have shown the Fomori's presence in Lost Caverns of Ixalan and other places.
But then in Outlaws of Thunder Junction, there is what's clearly meant to be a Fomori child in the vault
(Lifted from Akemi Dawn Bowman's The Ballad of Thieves and Thunderslingers)
SO. My thoughts about the Fomori child, the obvious feeling is that the Fomori has something that at least Jace and Vraska believe can help fix the sparks of the desparked planeswalkers, or giving the desparked a way to travel with their sparks damaged.
I don't think Jace is doing this maliciously, but he is leaning on the feeling that made him want to ignite the sylex back on New Phyrexia. The feeling of the needs of the many. If the child is a last of the Fomori species, Jace could see that as a needed sacrifice, if the child even has to die for this process to work, to help the survivors of the war.
If I had to guess from there it's a "misguided but good hearted" attempt to make things better that has some unforseen consequence. Jace wouldn't be made a bad guy, but an antagonist, and we can see him using more aliases to try and get more things he needs for this process.
Admittedly I don't have a lot of things for this since it is such a new plotline, but that is what I am thinking could happen.

One of my favorite bits of MtG lore is how Niv Mizzet could probably take over all of Ravnica but doesn’t because world domination would be too boring.
Like, stfu with all this political bs, I just want to break the laws of physics here.

Arlinn bared a giant grin. "Such a majestic wolf!"
Vivien snorted. "It's not a wolf. It has tusks. And *fins*."
"It loves headpats and being called a good girl. Wolf."
"By that logic, *I* would be a wolf."
Silence hung in the air, only interrupted by a whine for belly rubs.

I've been having a BIG break from MTG and MTG lore for well a year or more now, but I just caught up on some stuff (thanks Spice8Rack lore video) and well, most of ya know how it is. One thing bothers me though, if they wanted to like get rid of Phyrexia for quite some time, but not do the deus ex ending with all of the Phyrexian oil being deactivated now for some reason, couldn't they just like, have Elesh Norn set out on a quest to "gather back all the phyrexian oil and creatures" for power reason or whatever? They could set it so she gets like 99% (implied 100%) of it back on new Phyrexia and then phase it out. With an ending like that you got:
a reason for her to put her long spiky fingies into every plane (she's searching for oil)
get Phyrexia out of the narrative for as long as they like (pretend all the oil got phased out until it turns out it's not)
the possibility of future phyrexian sheningans not being out of the question and the topic of "is there any oil left" being still a threat (que half of MTG community losing their minds on any card featuring black goo)
Just a shower thought after watching the video I guess, MTG lore is just bunch of theater kids doing themed improv every set at this point (it's murder mystery night) I'm not really digging into it.

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
