Flavor Text Highlights - Return to Ravnica

<- Previous Set | Next Set ->

Cool - Rest in Peace

Some corpses the Golgari cannot claim. Some souls the Orzhov cannot shackle.

Funny - Inspiration

“Day 31: I finally succeeded in my time reversal experiment! "Day 30: I might have a problem here.” —Journal of the Prime Izmagnus

Worldbuilding - The Guildgates

Enter the Senate, the seat of justice and the foundation of Ravnican society.

Enter those who are starving and sick. You are welcome among the Swarm when the rest of Ravnica rejects you.

Enter those with the vision to create and the daring to release their creations.

Enter and indulge your darkest fantasies, for you may never pass this way again.

Enter and rejoice! The Conclave stands united, open to one and all.

Emotional (Horror) - Mind Rot

With no memories left to compare to his present situation, Andalum was finally content.

Sometimes fan art is just for you.

I want to make a comic for Jarad the way did for Garruk, my two favourite MtG characters that just get constantly misused, and in Jarads case just killed off.

Going from a hero of Ravnica who worked with Agrus Kos and Teysa Karlov to fight the machinations of Grand Arbiter Agustin IV, Momir Vig with Experiment Kraj, and Lyzolda and the cult of Rakdos.

A man who went from having a relationship and a child with a woman from another guild, and whose child he loved so deeply that he was able to bring HIMSELF back from the dead to save him.

For that man to be reduced to a xenophobic isolationist, who hated the people of his own guild as much as he hated "outsiders" with no explanation given. You can't read the Ravnica novels on the mothership, so their canon may as well not exist.

Agrus and Teysa get to stay beloved and still appear in sets. Jarad gets turned to a statue while hiding in a secret room.

Art Fight 2021: Rai

Posting up some of my old art trades I missed. This one was from 2021.

I've long been a fan of the Magic the Gathering setting of Ravnica. So, when I found out that Alexie's OC Rai is a magitech engineer based on the Izzet guild of Ravnica, I knew I had to draw her! Plus, Izzet counts as steampunk, so I get to pay tribute to the other half of this year's Art Fight theme 🎨

Here is Rai working late at night in the lab, as her barn owl Barney plays with a spare part ^_^

(The character reference explicitly states that Rai has an extra finger on her left hand.)

I painted this for Art Fight 2021, an online OC art trade event that takes place through the month of July.

Hi, I'm Teysa Karlov. Did you know that you have rights? The Guildpact says you do, and so do I. I believe until proven guilty, every man, woman and ghost in this city is innocent. And that's why I fight for you, Ravnica!

Teysa Karlov, Return To Ravnica

My Ravnica Limited Cube

I created a Cube for me and my friends to play limited with when we get together. Because it's limited, I built it with six packs for 8 players in mind, so it's 800 cards!

[Also, the packs contain 16 cards with 1 Rare / Mythic, 4 Uncommons, 10 Commons, and 1 Land]

I've been steadily tinkering with it, making it less shit. It'll never be perfect, but it's an excuse to play cards with my friends.

It's mainly based on Return to Ravnica with cards from the other Ravnica blocks, plus like 50 cards from other planes to fill in some spots.

It's my treasure. It represents the good times I have of my friends.

Destroy the Evidence ~~~ 4B ~~~ Instant

Destroy target land. Its controller reveals cards from the top of their library until they reveal a land card, then puts those cards into their graveyard.

Everyone knew the Dimir had done the damage. Everyone suspected the Izzet had hired them.

illustrated by Clint Cearley for "Return to Ravnica"

---------------------------

"Return to Ravnica" had a lot of flavor for the investigation and mystery aesthetic.

Maro’s Teaser for Outlaws of Thunder Junction

Before previews for Outlaws of Thunder Junction officially begin, I thought it would be fun to do another of my Duelist-style teasers where I give tiny hints of things to come. Note that I’m only giving you partial information.

First up, here are some things you can expect:

• A new batch of five related creature types

• A card capable of returning three different card types from the graveyard to the battlefield

• A mechanic players have been asking us to do for many years gets made as the setting was the perfect place to finally do it

• Dual lands with a land subtype that has never been on dual lands before

• A new modal mechanic that introduces something different to think about

• A card that can swap/exchange control of up to three different card types

• A new creature token that has an ability no creature token has ever had before

• A typal card for Skeletons and Zombies

• Creature tokens in the set: (some might have abilities) 1/1 white Sheep, 1/1 blue Bird, 1/1 black Vampire Rogue, 1/1 red Mercenary, 2/1 green Varmint, 2/2 white Ox, 2/2 white Spirit, 2/2 blue and black Zombie, 3/1 red Dinosaur, 3/3 white Angel, 3/3 green Elk, 4/4 red Scorpion Dragon, X/X green Elemental, */* Blue Ox

• Some of the planes with legendary Villains in this set: Dominaria, Eldraine, Fiora, Innistrad, Ixalan, Kaladesh, Kaldheim, Kamigawa, New Capenna, and Ravnica

Next, here are some rules text that will be showing up on cards:

• “Then repeat this process X more times.”

• “if it wasn’t cast or no mana was spent to cast it.”

• “Plotting cards from your hand costs {2} less.”

• “You can’t cast this spell during your first, second, or third turns of the game.”

• “That card gains flashback {0}”

• “Target creature becomes a white Rabbit with a base power and toughness 0/1.”

• “When you win that flip, copy that spell.”

• “If a triggered ability of a legendary creature you control triggers, that ability triggers an additional time.”

• “you get that many additional upkeep steps after this phase.”

• “Oxen you control have double strike.”

Here are some creature type lines from the set:

• Creature – Armadillo

• Creature – Shark Rogue

• Creature – Plant Bard

• Creature – Coyote

• Creature – Homarid Mercenary

• Creature – Rhino Brawler

• Creature – Ox Angel

• Creature – Porcupine Mount

• Legendary Creature – Giant Scout

Finally, here are some names in the set:

• Claim Jumper

• Form a Posse

The thing about Murders at Karlov Manor is that from a story perspective, it couldn't have been set anywhere but Ravnica. And it especially couldn't have been set on New Capenna.

The story of Murders is ultimately about the fallout of March of the Machine on both Ravnica as a city, and on Kaya personally. The motivations for the high-profile deaths that litter the set are tied directly to elements of the Phyrexian invasion. The manner of murder is specifically set up to overcome the barriers Ravnica as a setting provides to a murder mystery. And Kaya only gets involved because of her questionably defined but always present relationship with Teysa Karlov.

Ravnica also comes pre-built with a host of established characters, who conveniently all hate each other. This enabled readers to theorise about whodunnit, as each daily chapter provided more information and more intrigue. People considered all kinds of threads: Could Jace be involved? Might Azor be pulling the strings somehow? How does Judith plan to survive her crazy plan? Lazav?? By the time Proft said "I know who the killer is", you too could get it. (then for some reason they delayed the reveal chapter so they could reveal the killer in a spoiler stream. even when the story is good, the management is bad)

If you move the story out of Ravnica, the whole thing falls apart. You lose everything that makes it work. A new plane would be functional, but a lot less engaging. Fiora is about political scheming, even more so than Ravnica. And New Capenna...

New Capenna is not a particularly well constructed setting. It works as a sparse background for a Magic set, but when you start poking at it, it falls over. Like, one of the nicer ways to describe New Capenna is "discount Ravnica", because you are comparing it to one of the game's most successful settings. And that's what New Capenna is - a city controlled by a number of distinct factions, built out of specific colour combinations. But the New Capenna factions are not as good as the Ravnica ones (and the Obscura are literally just the Dimir). There is crime on New Capenna, but there is no authority against which that crime is committed, which makes things rather hollow. Ravnica, as strange as its laws are, has laws, along with people to enforce them. (note: I am aware of the Doylist reason why New Capenna has no police. Watson is still crying.)

Ravnica being well-developed allows it to function as a backdrop for a different idea. New Capenna's issues do the opposite. In fact, any return to New Capenna would need to reckon with how the setting got completely turned over by the return of the angels. You can't just say "well the crime has punishment now, onto the mystery". You have to actually engage with the big change, or you're just dragging New Capenna into a deeper hole.

conclusion: When the Magic story is good it's because the writer looked at the setting and characters they were given and used them together well. This is only possible if you have a setting and characters that can be used well. Ravnica has that, the crime plane does not.

It's time to return to Ravnica for Murders at Karlov Manor, the first episode of which has dropped today. Thrills! Chills! A possible drinking game for every time I find a way to work Tyvar into the text! A Planeswalker with pretty clear PTSD trying to pretend that everything is fine! Chaos among the Ravnican elite!

Anyway, this is pretty great and was so much fun to write, and you should read it.
