Comic #79

Make a Magic card of yourself!

Last week's Comic is up!


Card Tags: Karn; Yawgmoth; The Invasion Rift
Someone just sent us this:


Along with some helpful suggestions for how we might make the comic better. Now, I know I'm not just speaking for myself when I say both I and Steve really appreciate any constructive criticism thrown our way. We both know we are rather amateur at this, and we both would like hearing tips from people that have good ideas. Now, both I and Steve don't have oodles of time to dedicate to 5ColorControl. It's a hobby for the both of us, so we might not always implement your suggestions, but we do always like hearing them: 5ColorControl@gmail.com

That's the best picture anyone has of this product at the moment. Its blurry, but you can see the new art. Elspeth will be sporting the new Emblem rules, and her final ability will read:
[-8]: You get an emblem with "Artifacts, creatures, enchantments, and lands you control are indestructible."
People are guessing the new Emblem rules means we will be seeing Poison again sometimes soon. Percy will be very happy to hear that.

It seems that the plot for Scars will be that Tezzeret is headed to Mirrodin. He was charged by Nicol Bolas to find Crucius the Mad, who is believed to be on Mirrodin. Crucius the Mad is the planeswalking Sphinx from Esper that invented etherium. Etherium is magical alloy infused with the power of the Blind Eternities. The Blind Eternities being where the old 'walkers drew their power from, the space between the planes. We don't know yet what part Elspeth Tirel will play in this, other than she will oppose Tezzerate.

Meanwhile, this is the last we saw of Karn, the silver golem that created the plane of Mirrodin:

"The rift at Tolaria was too severe to be mended in the present day. Karn traveled back in time, to the moment before the wizard Barrin obliterated the island, countless Phyrexians, and himself. Karn was then able to enter the rift and mend it with the planeswalker spark passed on to him by Urza. In the moment after the rift was mended, Karn seemed to realize something terrible and flung himself into the Blind Eternities, the void between planes."[1]

So, we don't know if Karn is still a planeswalker, and in fact, is probably not. If he does appear on a card it should be like Teferi's card, a desparked ex-planeswalker.
We also don't know who or what corrupted Karn. Since it happened in the past, one might expect it was Yawgmoth, the old "Big Bad" of the Magic multiverse. My money would be on it being Gix, Yawgmoth's right hand and the most powerful surviving Phyrexian. As much as I would like Gix to be acting on his own, chances are we will all find out that Nicol Bolas is ultimately the one behind Karn's corruption. Be it him acting through someone, like Gix, or acting alone, it will be Nicol Bolas.

It's always Nicol Bolas.

Yawgmoth?



I'm looking for Pics of Yawgmoth after the Thran, but no one has any.
