@SalmonOfK847 жыл бұрын
Honestly, I think this problem isn't just localised to planeswalkers. MTG's story as a whole has (ironically enough) taken a huge hit since the two block structure was introduced. The Gatewatch are lackluster and largely shallow and stereotypical, and the side characters- such as Ajani, Tamiyo, Arlinn Kord and basically every non-planeswalker character- are barely given a second to shine. Interesting side stories are being concluded unsatisfactorily, if at all. Shadows Over Innistrad was a particularly frustrating example of this, wherein Arlinn Kord's story of redemption was an afterthought, and Halana and Alena's struggle against the resurging monsters and Ormendahl was all but forgotten. But apart from writing that rarely rises above mediocre, and far too frequently dips below average, perhaps the biggest problem is that WotC aren't giving each story enough time to come to fruition. The first few stories of the Gatewatch era showed some genuinely good build up- particularly in the case of Battle for Zendikar, which benefited hugely from having Magic Origins to add further depth to the story before it began proper. However, by the time that the Aligned Hedron Network was broken and the Oath of the Gatewatch arc suddenly began, things took a turn for the worse. OGW's story felt extremely rushed after the slow build and careful crafting of BfZ, with perspectives jumping back and forth and a conclusion that was forced, and resulted in the easy annihilation of two of modern Magic's most iconic villains. SoI had a similar problem (although the flavour of the plane was better filtered through the cards), with Emrakul's arrival and subsequent Eldrazi-fying of the populace taking away from the genuinely compelling story of Avacyn's turn to the dark side- a story that could easily have lasted through both blocks, and would have allowed characters like the trappers and Sigarda the screen-time they deserved. Admittedly, Kaladesh doesn't seem to have suffered as much from this lack of time to prepare and wrap up a good story, but as you said, characters like Saheeli Rai were left high and dry after just a single Uncharted Realms article. There was also the significant issue of making Chandra- arguably the most important character in the block- look weak, stupid and incapable every five seconds- a shame, considering that when she's written right, she's arguably one of the most interesting Gatewatch members. And, to top it all off, WotC had time to avoid continuing this trend. Aether Revolt's story finished over a month ago- that's 4-6 weeks worth of Uncharted Realms articles. However, they instead decided to give us zero. They wasted all that time that they could have been building up characters, building a world, releasing snippets of art and the occasional common or uncommon to get the community excited, and keep them that way, so that now it's doubtful that Amonkhet's story will be able to surpass these shortcomings that are ruining the product's current lore. Don't get me wrong, I love Magic's story as a whole, and I'm a Vorthos through-and-through. But when I think of the original Ravnica Storyline; or Tarkir's various shifting timelines and Khans that all felt fleshed out an unique; or the way that Mirrodin has slowly evolved into New Phyrexia through subtle hints dropped by WotC for years now; or even of characters like Feldon of the Third Path, who's story (Loran's Smile) is arguably one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful I've ever read, I know that Wizards can do better. And if they want to keep this focus on storytelling going, then they have to start living up to those standards.

SalmonOfK84 I agree with you completely. MTG lore has right now a huge problem with tempo, characters are introduced merely for a cheap and fast excitement soon to be replaced with other ones. This really irritates me since like you, I also think that MTG has historically had some very interesting and fulfilling lore, but that has always relied on (one could even argue that it necessarily relies on) continuous development of the characters.

My bet in the shortcut of some new walkers is, that we will see them again at some point again, maybe in a bigger scheme of the storyline. Like Dovin Baan, Narset was leaving too, but seeking for answers regarding the alteration of Tarkirs timeline. She stayed, as we know, on Tarkir but we dont know where this will lead. She was searching Ugin who was last seen in Zendikar and with the Nicol Bolas story coming up, his archenemy Ugin will have a role for sure and if Narset really wants to find Ugin, she will end up there too! Vague speculation tho :P

I like where the Gideon story is progressing. On "Return to Theros" set, we will see Gideon playing an actual "bad guy", because he would not want to change how planes work anymore, especialy his native one, and he will become the champion of Heliod once again, to stop ones willing to destroy order on Theros, while Elspeth, the champion of Erebos, will be willing to Abolish Gods, eventualy becoming the most powerfull god herself - The God of Heroes. I Think at some point Nahiri will join Gatewatch. I know it seems wierd, but if Lilianna is in Gatewatch, why wouldnt Nahiri? She knows how to defeat Sorin Markov, and he will seek revenge on her. Also, i see Garruk returning at some point, possibly some plane we didnt Visited yet. Vraska could be a member of Gatewatch. Saheli will join Gatewatch after "Kaladesh Besieged", set that Phyrexians will attack. Also, i wanna see in Hour of Devastation Ugin VS Nicol Bolas. I Mean, come on - This sh~t need to go down.

you definitelly post great topic videos. I had, too, thought about this topic. many other walkers are lost wandering the bland eternities, namely Narset, Ashiok, Ral Zarek, Domri, and especially Tibald, who'd make a perfect B/R planeswalker villain. the great thing about planeswalkers is that they don't HAVE to belong to a specific plane. They don't NEED to be trapped in their planes, which was something that used to happen prior to Lorwyn with non-planeswalker characters. These guys have a passport to go anywhere they like in the multiverse. I mean, look at how successful Sarkham turned out; he was seen in multiple planes going through various stages. Wizards needs to see this. Jace is not the only hero around in the multiverse. Many of these characters should be lured into a new unseen plane, create a story that can kick it up a little bit, and Deprive them from planeswalking away. Ob Nixilis vs Saheeli Tibald vs Narset Ashiok vs Arliin. so many more. The gatewatch seems to be just a good excuse for a movie plot and toy sales.

I completely agree with you Seiben and was actually thinking about this yesterday. I don't have anything against introducing new planeswalkers at all (it's great to have new characters), but I think one fundamental problem is the tempo they are introduced in. If more or less every block introduces one or two new planeswalkers, their number will explode in such a way that few of them will be given enough time and attention to develop into complex multifaceted characters. I really liked Arlinn Kord and her story and am still hoping for her to get a greater role at some point, but if Wizards keeps creating new and new planeswalkers seemingly to fill a game-mechanical role, I'm afraid many potentially interesting characters will become merely scribbles in the margins of Magic lore.

I agree completely that we need to see more of the native Planeswaklers & perhaps get more caught up with some other familiar faces. What's Garruk been up to for example? One idea for how to get some of the Planeswalkers into the limelight is a fairly simple one. Why must the Planeswalkers always be facing one another or the good guy. I am sure Tibalt or Vraska would be nightmares on any Plane they visit & without another Planeswalker to help it would be an immense uphill battle to take them out. That is what makes for great storytelling is when the heroes have an uphill climb, so imagine lone heroes of a plane trying to take out the great sadist Tibalt, the nightmare smith Ashiok, or the great feind Ob Nixilis. Why do we have to have Planeswalkers always be the Heroes of the set?

I completely agree with you. I was excited in particular for Arlinn Kord, as her unique abilities and personality are really like nothing we've seen before and I thought she could have been an extremely compelling character. Instead, she was binned practically as soon as Wizards created her. She appeared only in shadows block, and even then her role in the story was tangential and minor at best. It really disappointed me. I hate it when Wizards throws new walkers down the drain. Think about Dovin Baan. His struggle over whether it was better to follow authority or listen to his own morality could have provided a touching story if wizards had decided to follow him for more than one set. Maybe after Kaladesh he drops the blue and becomes mono-white, or incorporates red and becomes jeskai. New walkers aren't just opportunities for profit. They're a chance to create unique new stories, and they shouldn't be thrown away like they're trash.

The problem is how they're telling the story now, in small micro-episode articles instead of how they did it during the time of Urza, Mishra, Karn, The Weatherlights, etc. The Magic lore and story line literally needs to be produced as a full story with a book or novel for each set. It would give them time to develop characters and create spin-off arcs and even one shots.

Two thoughts towards that topic: First, there is no such thing as too many loose ends of a story line. I'd even go as far as saying Wizards lets the writers do that on purpose so that they can always bring those guys in deus ex machina style if necessary or just make up reasons to go back to a certain plane if they feel like it. Second, and I think I remember reading that on the actual magic homepage, not every planeswalker card represents an actual planeswalker, they sometimes just up some characters to that status in order to get to their planeswalker count determined by the design of the set.

Well, here's an idea. Maybe that's why it's called Hour of Devastation. They might could kill off at least half, but not whole, of the Gatewatch. And then we could be like, um... OK. Walker list please outside the Gatewatch? Uh-huh. OK. Dovin, Tamiyo, Arlinn, and maybe even Karn could be badass for the Gatewatch.
@shawndiaz75287 жыл бұрын
They're not going to kill more than one during any given block. They may vanish or become trapped but there's no way Lili, Jace, Chandra, or Ajani are going to get offed to make the story more interesting. They're too popular and frankly Lore-wise most of them are too powerful.

@JediMB7 жыл бұрын
Saheeli's last name is pronounced like "rye". Also, I personally really liked that she preferred to use her abilities to build things rather than fight. Dovin Baan had a lot of really nice moments in the Kaladesh story, especially when he decided to bring Baral, someone on his own side, to justice in the middle of a rebellion. And of course I love Arlinn Kord and hope to see more of her, but her power set didn't seem particularly relevant to the battle against Emrakul, and her transformation abilities being dependent on the moon of Innistrad makes her seeing some action on another plane rather unlikely. I'd wager that she'll be more important next time we visit her native plane, with the Eldrazi out of the way and all.

I liked Dovin Baan. He wasn't as helpless as made out, though - his skill lay in analysing weaknesses, and a lot of the strategies employed centred around his insight on the Gatewatch. The way he disabled that Thopter knowing exactly how to do it was actually quite scary, but thankfully he never comes across as an antagonist or even dislikeable. I particularly loved how he enforced justice and had Baral imprisoned for life once he had proof. I'm glad he survived, but I also wondered why he left. Perhaps Tezzeret kidnapped him or something? After Hour of Devastation, I'd be happy for the Gatewatch to split up for a while, and have just one or two of them team up with Vraska for the next set. I'd also love to see Dovin Baan return, although I doubt he'll be a recurring character outside Kaladesh.

Using the same recurring planeswalkers makes it much easier to design planeswalker cards. You don't have to invent brand new mechanics, just jostle around the CMC, +/- and change the mechanics of earlier versions of the planeswalker a little bit and you have a new card. Check the different versions ofJace and Garruk throughout the years. Imagine having to design brand new planeswalkers with brand new mechanics for each one? Would have been a lot more work.

the best way to put it is all the gatewatch is going to be one big soap opera that will drag on this story line so the wizards of the cost will just keep making revenue off of this way. story/ lore gets bad/boring and cards and new mechanics go up. what you should do if the lore gets really bad make up your own lore on this channel and see ware it could take you.

1. If they only focused on one or two members of Gatewatch every plane arc with guest stars. Then the gatewatch wouldn't have gotten as stale but they keep on bringing all 5 of them to each plane. 2. Now that is the problem I'm having that blue and red only having one key planeswalker with Jace for Blue and Chandra for Red. At least Black has Liliana and Sorin, Green having Nissa and Garruk and White having Elspeth, Ajani and Gideon. (But Sorin and Garruk are now dual colors) 3. With all these races across multiple planes most of them are just humans or human-lite (aka kor, elves, vampire) , you have Tamiyo, Ajani, Karn, Ugin and Nicol Bolas being the only standouts in the main story. But at least most story planeswalkers are getting cards unlike during the Weatherlight/Legacy Weapon era, Invasion and Odyssey had its moments.

So, Ajani came back and joined the Justice League... where's Garruk? I doubt he'd join Bolas' Legion of Doom... and by legion I mean Tezzeret since Sarkhan deffected and fixed (ruined) Tarkir and ensured Ugin was around to tell Jace things... and scold him. Maybe Garruk is goingto be a wild card villain and will get into a random wilderness hunt with Ajani and Nissa? Elspeth is dead until next time.... Sorin is learning what drywall feels like.... Karn is some where.... Koth could be dead.... Tibalt. Tamiyo is home and backstaging it up. Vraska feels like a Bolas candidate though she seems hell bent on punishing ravnican law while ordering around her personal assassin guild who kills people in personally fitting ways. Domri. Ral has Niv Mizzet to distract. Xenegos is dead... or is he!? Ashiok. Kiora's getting a nose ring because adults are stupid and she hates you all. Narset has some history to uncover while Sarkhan has some present to live it up with. Ugin's cranky and needs his coffee. If you kids can stop messing things up for 5 minutes he might actually be able to get to some Dragonwalker business. Ob feels like a Bolas candidate or rival. He's definitely got a vengeful axe to grind. However, freedomprobably never tasted so sweet. Arlin is probably the most mature character yet and she's been swept under the rug. I feel this is a real crime. Nahiri shot her pent up revenge load and probably has nothing guiding her. I'm sure a reasuring and manipulative Papa Bolas would be happy to point her at whatever needa a good stabbin. And finally, Dovin and Saheeli. Theses two.... what are we going to do with you...

@trap87987 жыл бұрын
Garruk doesn't count as a green planeswalker at this point, and I would further say he didn't deserve to be a purely green planeswalker in the first place. Garruk does not cultivate life. He ends life, hunting wild beasts for sport. Savagery and survival of the fittest are definitely themes of the green color, but a big game hunter really should not be the face of green. Making him green/black, I think, is what truly fits his personality from the beginning. His obsessive need to hunt, not for survival, but for sport, shows how unqualified he is to ever be a true "protagonist".

I think they're going to try an Avengers. We get The Gatewatch, which is like the Avengers, then we will see another team (I'd like to see Sarkhan, Narset, Saheeli, and Arlinn on a team. Idk why, I just would), who will be like The Defenders, then we'll see a team that will sort of be like The Illuminati, another that is like The Thunderbolts, etc. etc. Eventually, this leads to one HUGE villain (or multiple powerful villains) and one HUGE battle, where these planeswalker teams have to unite to defeat them. In the end, there are MANY losses, and MANY deaths. In the end, they defeat the villain, but decide to disband and planeswalk away. Most likely the Gatewatch would have some remnants, probably consisting of Ajani and whoever else he recruits, but it's just a thought.

Why does everyone want Garruk back so much? Even before being cursed, he never really had any positive qualities. He's a hunter who kills for sport, using the entire multiverse as his hunting ground. Garruk is violent, goes completely against the green color on occasion (big game hunting isn't part of the natural cycle of life, and isn't great for the environment either) and in a way, inherently antagonistic. If he ever comes back, Garruk should be on the side of evil, probably manipulated by Nicol Bolas.

Trap Exactly. He's interesting, going against his colour sometimes, showing that he's capable of having more emotions and thoughts outside the limitations of his colour, therefore making it possible for his character to change and grow. The current cast does not do this however. Chandra had a nice little arc with her mother, but in the end is still the aggressive, impulsive person she always was. Gideon is still a walking bicep, Jace is a librarian with godlike powers which he uses to be a diplomat on his plane, Liliana is evil, and just evil. Nissa used to have an actual character, being racist and all that. But she even lost that, and now we're stuck with the boring justice league version of the breakfastclub.

I'm really hoping Amonkhet bookends the Gatewatch saga... maybe one of the big five (probably Jace) are mortally wounded. With the Gatewatch dissolved, Nissa returns to Zendikar to help rebuild, Liliana remains on Amonkhet to rule in Bolas' stead, Ajani and Gideon return to Theros to save Elspeth, and Chandra returns to Kaladesh to help Sahili rebuild, allowing us to go elsewhere and experience something new without these stale walking tropes bogging down the story. Maybe eventually we could go back and revisit these characters, but its time for them to retire, and since they've curb stomped just about every big bad in MTG lore in the last few years, its about time.

If he was going to be arrested or killed, he could have planeswalked then. Don't leave on the assumption that you will be punished. But yes, Arlinn and Saheeli completely got shafted. I want a set away from the Gatewatch. Maybe after they lose or something. Let us see another group do things for a change. Filler, I guess. Or an anti-Gatewatch, set up by Bolas. Just a block to give us a breather of Gatewatch before they become too stale.

Cause Ob Nixilis, Nahiri, and Garruk may be fun villians they aren't on the level of Phyrexians, Eldrazi, Nicol Bolas or Sliver level threats.

The problem is that the MTG storyline IS a comic/movie! Or that's what Wizards wanted to do because it's following a safe formula as Marvel and DC comics... compare the gatewatch to "Superfriends" you get the same group of people with diverse power taking center stage, but also have other side characters that'll not take the spotlight and disrupt things. In fact you can see this trend of Wizards making Planeswalker disappear... Elspeth, Sorin, Garruk... It looks like Wizards is selling superfriends and will only deviate from the formula when we consumers gets tired of the MTG-Avengers.
