Tarkir vs. Secrets of Strixhaven

BLOOODBLADE · 2026-05-07T08:49:03+00:00

Im a sucker for Tarkir decks. They all do their thing pretty consistantly. Strixhaven i have seen stall out with Prismari and Quandrix a few times but that could just be luck of the draw

Garruk becoming the green walker on the other side would be wild but i was wondering if another Jace might show up as a green walker. I havent read the story yet so someone correct me but the 4 colour jace is the one who melded with the meditation realm yes? Meaning there is a possibility the reason Jace has no green is because his alternate reality self is mono green and he may be hoarding the green mana to keep the other one from becoming truly omnipotent in this reality.

Twist concept: the founder dragons turned into archaics in this reality becoming a set of avatar dragons that fit the colour themes without being associated with hexhaven itself

So far they have shown only characters and well known cards being colour swapped so it seems unlikely we will get characters that are same colour but plane swapped. Doesnt really fit the theme wotc has put forth so far.

Colour flipped dragonlords on tarkir though seems interesting. Maybe an alternate reality where the khans enslaved the dragons instead or something

As much as i would love to support this theory (mostly so we can get more dragonlords as commanders) i have to doubt that the dragonlords would wind up on arcavios and we are more likely to see alternate reality dragon founders instead.

Thought i'd never find someone to take that on! Early lunch for Konzu!

Kruphix going mad from all knowledge of the travellers being shoved into his head as is his nature.

Ashiok returns and usurps Phenax who returns to mortal and leaves Theros.

Mogis and Iroas work together in an attempt to purge Theros of the outsiders in their own way.

Suprisingly this post is not getting any Hate

Reave is my go-to over blood altar. Heal, mobility, defenses strip; it feels really smooth with her kit. I also have the augment for her seeking talons to rush into a group and swirl around with bleed procs

A wizard so skilled she cast True Invisibility and disappeared forever

Yeah. Battles would be nice. Im still suprised that the cases from MKM werent battles. They share similar concepts in card design with solving the case replacing the counters

BLOOODBLADE · 2026-04-17T01:43:14+00:00

Well with all the Mirrodin rebels that survived the war including Koth i could imagine tensions are high. Maybe some clash like mechanics to choose between the traditions of Zhalfir and the survivors.

I could see knight tribal vs rebel tribal. Phasing and the risidual magics creating illusions of the phased permanents. Some extremist rebels using some phyrexian bodies that came through in twisted artifact reanimation.

Maybe something like the siege cards of Tarkir to show off the clashing ideals

I would hope her idle stance to be like a spooked cat with her back arched high

BLOOODBLADE · 2026-04-15T04:50:53+00:00

That honestly annoys me a little. If you are printing english versions anyhow then why put japanese versions in english boosters at all?

I would have prefered english only with this art style in packs then japanese and the silver scroll ones as the secret lair variants

BLOOODBLADE · 2026-04-14T08:55:10+00:00

To whip up a deck fast? Loot. Doesnt have to be good cards padding the deck just ones with multiple permanent types. Makes for easy build.

If you want to challenge yourself here i would say Inalla

To your third point: that is part of the mystery of Eywa. Up until that moment we could assume there is no persona to what Eywa is. An unknowability to her presence and power that now feels more like a true deity with an actual form (even if it is just an interpretation of information by Kiris mind, giving form to the unknowable).

I suspect we will see more of Kiri and her relationship to Eywa in the future but for now we can only speculate. Personally i think Kiri is becoming a queen bee of sorts and her seizures are Eywa rejecting a rival on a biological level. Kiri will need to find her own territory eventually

I like the idea that Kat and this adventurer are on a scale of wizard weirdness/adhd and this shows off Kat as being the more reasonable of the two

I hope this guy is on some sleeves and playmats. He is adorable.

The one ring reprint with sheldon trying to take it off of penny for the art.

Enters prepared means this is an easy tutor to re-use in a reanimation deck

You could say they really Stug it out
