You're assuming Ilharg showed up to fight Bolas. Ilharg's depiction on the flavor text of other cards shows us an ancient god, forgotten by all save special Gruul shamans, known as Druids of the Old Ways. Ilharg is seen as some sort of apocalyptic herald, the eater of civilization, akin to imagery found in real life apocalypse myths, like the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse. My assumption was that Ilharg showed up because Ravnica was burning down, and was looking to join in on the fun. The Raze-boar was freed to fulfill its ancient destiny, tearing down Ravnica brick by brick. It's no coincidence that Nikya, a Druid of the Old Ways, got a card in GRN. She's the one who backed Domri as leader of the Gruul, as she saw him as some sort of Ilharg-incarnate. and I think flavor text featuring her back in GTC was the first time we ever heard of Ilharg at all in MTG. And I think that if Ilharg had been depicted in the story, he would have been another obstacle, another evil god on a rampage, trying to return Ravnica to a world before the cityscape ruled the skyline.

I got the implication from his dies ability that he was working with Bolas, for the same reason I got from Angrath's -2 that he was; mechanically, all of Bolas's gods have come back after death abilities, while other gods have just been indestructible. Unfortunately, Ilharg wasn't even slightly in the book, so y'know.

seeing Amass on Angrath legitimately just made me think he was fighting for bolas it was a major flavor fail.

No one: MTG Lore KZreadrs: How many ways can we spell out how much wizards fucked up war of the spark? Love the content

1. Loved the video 2. Just to clarify, Davriel can actually steal spells from people’s (and eternals) minds. When he does this that person either permanently or temporarily loses the ability to cast/use that spell and Davriel can use that spell a certain number of times depending on the spell itself. This causes him and the person pain though, and the more powerful the spell, the more painful it is. So when he saved Nissa he basically just stole the Eternals ability to use the despark spell

"After this is over, I'm taking you to the Old Town Road." Gideon Jura, hunk. That is the quality content I suscribed for.

Side note, I really like how Ral's Outburst combines the +1 and -3 of Ral, Izzet Viceroy

Also I just wanted to point out, most of the uncommon planeswalkers were designed as blank cards and then assigned planeswalkers. This is the actual reason why Angrath has amass - they wanted amass on a black/red planeswalker because that's two of the three colors it's in but no character in the story fit getting that ability, so they put it on Angrath and justified it as him getting control of the Eternals. Yes, I was confused and thought Angrath was being pigeon-holed into "angry brute villain played by the smart villain" hole too. Yes, I'm very glad he's not. Yes, I'm frustrated that his card isn't a great representation of him as a character. But I accept they did it how they had to. Plus, he makes for a fun build around card, and I'd much rather build around him than someone like Tibalt or Ob.

I do hope we keep on getting novels. While they have always been kind of hit-or-miss, some of the older ones like "The Thran", "Nemesis", " The Gathering Dark" or the first Ravnica cycle were really thrilling and, while sometimes somewhat inconsistent with the gameplay (Where are the Teratogen? Isn't there supposed to be only one gorgon left on Ravnica after the events of Dissension? Lyzolda or Yzolda?), they did fuel the flavor for future cards by adding uncarded characters. There's no reason not to combine novels with the kind of great in-game storytelling we got in War of the Spark.

oh god, I just noticed: In samut sprint art, she is running on a wall, and the Bloas statue can be seen behind her, making it look like she is running away from the battle. That card is hilarious now, it looks like Samut is just running away really really fast. "Fighting Bolas? You crazy? So long suckers!" *zooms away*

My leading theory is that Bolas told Domri "Yeah yeah you can totally serve me as an... anarch, yeah. That's what rebellious teens like, right?" And he fucking bought it

Love the video. I do feel like it would be reasonable to concede, though, that anarchy on Ravnica would look a lot different than anarchy on our world. Since the entire Ravnican planet is comprised of just one, monolithic super-government, as opposed to our world's many to choose from and be let down by, and since that super-government quite intentionally shafted the Gruul millennia ago by charging them to take care of the wilderness and then systematically dismantling that wilderness with ever more urban expansion, I think Ravnican/Gruul anarchy would be accurately described as any effort that aims tol completely dismantle that super-government, by any means necessary, even if that means pledging allegiance to a new despot, because even the new despot's (Bolas') world would look radically different from the old. No more guilds, no more urban expansion, no more Gruul getting the shaft. Even under Bolas' tyranny, Ravnica would be fundamentally and irrevocably altered. Unlike in our world where overthrowing one despot and their little clutch of power inevitably leads to just another despot with a similar-looking clutch of power.

The other? Why, that was when the Troll actually managed to get a hit in direct! Only because they had Consecrate // Consume ready to cast, and wanted to tease me before having a great laugh. It's a bit like how my rat deck, that is trying to sneak by with only 18 lands, almost always draws 1 or 0 lands, and when it doesn't it pulls 5 and laughs at me. Also? It often draws the 2 bloody Tainted Woods *TOGETHER* almost every time I see one, with no swamps anywhere. My Diligent Farmhand wants to feed his rat army damnit! This deck is a flavor win, let it happen! Edit: Please make Jace fat. For no reason. Just be brave, do it. Oko being skinny is fine, but surely Jace should be a chonk, so their is some options for folks. Jace is boring AF atm, so maybe this would add some interest.

I’m so sad that random viashino died, I mean he was my favourite character, come on Wizards!

25:20 I come from the future and that’s a good point. How come Rowan, Will, and Oko weren’t on Ravnica? Garruk was officially said to be quarantined away by bolas so he didn’t murder anybody before bolas could, but why weren’t the commander planeswalkers / Koth there either? Cheetos

As a wherewolf, Arlin only transforms because of innistrads moon, which is why she can’t transform on Ravnica.

31:50 When in doubt blame Tefairi. Time magic was obviously used to give them time to finish their fight to figure out who will be on top.

*It's a cold and it's a broken waluigi.*

I like the flavor text on Spice's chest. It's a cold and it's a broken waluigi. In comic sans. Excellent flavor.

In regards to the logic behind the title "anarch of", its not an nonsensical as it first appears, if you think about it as not a self given title but as how bolas and other characters see him Bolas had supported domri so that he could destabilize ravnica, and from bolas' view, everyone is either a pawn like tezzeret or a nuisance like the gatewatch, so while from domri's perspective him attempting to team up with bolas is a mutually beneficial alliance, from bolas' perspective domri is just another pawn who is there to serve him until he stops having use for him, and, regardless of whether or not domri realises, bolas has manipulated him into being "his" anarch, in the sense that he is an anarch, who's actions only benefit bolas, and who is under bolas' control
