After reading the new comic from Boom Studios, I have to ask again about the decision to turn the Firemind into Mecha-Niv. I’m still a little uncomfortable with his new form. From the MTG perspective, he’s a true living and breathing dragon who’s worked his way to the top. But if I think of introducing this character into a new storyline to a wider audience...how do you turn a 5-color legendary dragon into a neutral arbiter of law? So, what are your thoughts on this transformation?
I think Mecha-Niv will make a very cool Magic card that I hope they print one day. It also signals from very early on that this isn’t the ” main’ continuity for the reader, which helps. Niv is still Niv, and we may learn why this version is now in a robot body.
