Did Jaya leave a body?

15h29

As I understand it, non-planeswalker people who were compleated all died when New Phyrexia was sent away. I hardly dare ask, but do we have any idea what happened to the Weatherlight? (And I still can’t forgive whichever monster in creative decided to compleat the Weatherlight )

The Weatherlight was likely left a wreckage for the second time following a Phyrexian Invasion.

On the topic of colors of mana known among people, are faction based planes such as Ravnica more privy to the knowledge of colors? Or the original founders of the guildpact for example

Not necessarily, no. Ravnica probably has academics who understand it, though.

14h27

Are Magic characters aware of the colors of mana? - I am good at Blue mana. - I am good at Green mana. It makes you my enemy. - I can mediate you with White mana, so that we can form a GWU arc.

If they’ve studied magic academically, yes. Teferi would be. But in general they’re only focused on the type of mage they are. People think of Chandra as a fire mage, not a red mage.

So, the arena version of Jace still has a lot of metal and tentacles. The story only really mentions him having plugs still, but I assume the amount of metal on him is canon? If so, it’s kind of weird that it’s only found on arena.

I’m not sure what the deal is with two different versions, but the idea is that Jace isn’t fully healed. Getting the nuances of that across in art is tough the markers on other formerly compleated were sometimes missed by folks, so maybe they decided subtle isn’t better.

Hello Jay, look, I wanted to ask you what you think the Blind Eternities look like, when traveling through them, I know that each PW sees it differently but I wanted your opinion on what it is like to travel both planeswalking and traveling through the Omenpath, and above all I wanted to ask you how You think you can see the plans from the Blind Eternities. Thanks for your opinion.

The Blind Eternities is deliberately a space beyond human comprehension, which is why everyone interprets it differently. My personal preference is sort of a Kirby esque with buffeting winds that threaten to tear you apart.Omenpaths likely don’t show you the Blind Eternities itself, I imagine them...

I know you have no influence over MtG canon, I just wanted to state my wish on a fan-to-other-fans level.

Oh no it’s fine, it’s a cute idea

12 avril 18h48

I know the un-sets aren’t canon, but I REALLY want Infernal Spawn of Evil to be canon to Bloomburrow. Not the unnecessary and unfunny follow-up cards, just the original.

Mark Rosewater is the keeper of un canon, I will not infringe on that holy border again :P

18h44

Did Mishra do any shitty things without the influence of phyrexians?

He wasn’t a super great guy, no. He was a tyrant before the Gixians started whispering in his ear.

16h07

Is there a Planeswalker guide for Thunder junction? It came out the friday of prerelease lately, but no sign of it this time....

My current understanding is no

15h45

Spoilers for a three-year old comic run] Speaking of Boom Comics, I’m rereading the first few volumes after finally completing my collection. My understanding is that the point of divergence from the main continuity was The War of the Spark. [Seriously, stop reading if you care about spoilers] Could Jaya’s battle with Marit Lage in the Ice Age be considered canon to the mainline continuity (in the sense I don’t think it contradicts anything)?

I’m hesitant to say yes, if only because I don’t think future writers will look to a single issue of an otherwise non canonical comic book for canon

Are there parallel or alternate universes in Magic? Such as... - Ravnica-2 where each guild is a 3-color combination - Theros-3 where gods are artifacts - Jace (from Vryn-5) and Jace (from Vryn-7) meet each other

Planes can have alternate universes, yes, but it’s not common. The three planes we know have them, or had them, are Dominaria, Rabiah, and Tarkir.Dominaria’s you can see in the set Planar Chaos, there’s one where Mirri strikes down Selenia instead of Crovax, one where the Odyssey legends are color...

Do you happen to have a comprehensive list of all the shitty things Urza did on hand?

I don’t keep lists that long :PUnfortunately, no, I don’t.

00h28

What is universal across different planes in the multiverse, other than the existence of mana with its colors?

There are a lot of similar things across the multiverse, and in general basic laws of physics apply. But not always.

Hi Jay, wondering if you have any insight on a timeline question I’ve got. Did Ugin & Azor know Ixalan was inhabited when they tried to trap Bolas there with the Immortal Sun? As far as I can tell those two either arrived before humans emerged from the core and would’ve assumed it was empty; or they arrived to a fully populated plane and decided well, guess Bolas will tyrannize them while he’s trapped here. Oh well (not something I’d put past them lol...)

Oh no, they explicitly knew.

Is it confirmed whether Leori is the mutant tiger that Lukka bonded with during the events of Ikoria? I can’t find a link to the ebook to see if the tiger ever received a name.

It’s the tiger, it would be real silly to have another tiger connected to a planeswalker that’s exactly the same. It did not get a name in the book.

I know thunder pistols rifles are pretty decently explained and easily recognizable, but what are the more crossbow-looking things used in cards like cactusfolk sureshot, freestrider lookout, and thunder salvo? It seems consistent enough that I feel like there’s lore behind it, but I can’t tell if it’s a type of thunder rifle or a cannon or a crossbow.

They’re all variations of the Thunder Rifle concept, which is a device that stores and releases Thunder.

Hey Jay, hope this ask finds you well. Taking a break from Thunder Junction stuff to ask how you think planes besides Innistrad, Ravnica, and Alara view or handle necromancy. (As many as you feel like talking about, and partially because it seems like the greater scope of D&D’s planes have a generally negative view of that school of magic)

I’m going to say it’s pretty taboo on every major plane but Arcavios and Amonkhet. Those planes are exceptions because Arcavios would look at it purely academically although I imagine the method of obtaining a body is still a cause of ethical concern while Amonkhet views continuing in undeath as...
