It seeks a tomb that will hold it, a coffin that will give it rest.

Geist Trappers (Avacyn Restored) - Anthony Palumbo

Innistrad is such a fascinating place. Not only do vampires enslave humans, but humans have found ways to enslave vampires

Iirc, the Midnight Duelists are a branch of the cathars beneath the Avacynian Church, operating primarily in Nephalia, the coastal province. And I just. Oooh. The picture the stories + the cards for Innistrad paint of the genuine STRUGGLE and CHAOS and HORRIBLE SHIT happening everywhere in Innistrad, as everyone struggles to survive (or contend with their very nature - such as when it comes to vampires or werewolves), it is so fascinating.

that being said I feel like the response to slavery shouldn't be more slavery, tho. But the Avacynian Church is far from depicted as a solely good thing lmao, the soldiers, cathars, inquisitors, etc underneath it are always doing messed up shit like this

According to former Lunarch Macher, it is commonplace for infants to be abandoned at nearby places of worship, and for the church to raise these children, and of course, those children often grow up to serve the church. Macher was one such orphan, and he became the head of the Avacynian Church - that is what it means to be a Lunarch, after all.

Inquisitors are hired hands intended to help solve problems with vampires or devils hunting/hurting people, yet, in Avacyn's absence, they blindly killed and cut down people suspected of lycanthropy and heresy without the typical trials. This, iirc, hasn't even stopped, really - the Avacynian Church lives on in Avacyn's death, it is just more fractured than ever, and people have turned to Sigarda and their more local churches. That's overall a good thing - but reverence for Avacyn remains, her statues were hand-repaired all across Innistrad to showcase humanity's resolve and intent to protect itself even in her death, and her church's soldiers march on in her name. So, the inquisitors... are almost certainly still doing this.

Innistrad is just such a fascinating place to me because of this. There is SO MUCH GOING ON, ALWAYS. And it's really hard to ever point the blame at any one thing or person, because the stakes are SO high, SO bleak here, that the only answers you have to the problems are, in and of themselves, likely going to cause more problems.

What a mess of a plane. I fucking love it. Horrible place, probably worse than actual hell, but I love it

Hey Mark, as a Valentines Day question can you tell us more about Soul Bond? Avacyn Restored is one of my favorite sets of all time and I love soul bond. I was super happy when it was reused in some more recent commander products,

Soulbond has the honor of generating the most questions at a prerelease (sent in to us by judges).

Sorin, Nahiri, Avacyn, & Innistrad Stories

It's difficult to make Just a post about Just Innistrad when Sorin is so heavily tied to it and likwise Avacyn and Nahiri are tied to him among others, but I did my best to filter out what I could.

#innistrad #vampires #mtg #mtg stories #in cae anyone wants to read these bc i fucking love innistrad #its basically The Gothic Horror World in mtg #so it has classic vampires; frankensteined monsters; werewolves; zombies; cults; eldritch abominations etc

[devilcat3d]

MtG Demons are awesome! Be'Lakor is super fun, and I really wish I could have Great Unclean one as a commander.

demons are one of my favorite creature types but sadly i dont have a playable be'lakor deck currently. the only one i have is like 20 cards over cause i built decks in a much worse way back when i made it lmao. great unclean one is a fucking banger of a card and i also wish it was legendary it seems like a cool mono black commander :3

my original demon i played with was renegade demon from avacyn restored and i thought this card was busted when i started cause i had a very limited card pool lol its still super nostalgic to me now :3c

Fleeting Distraction (Avacyn Restored) - Ryan Yee

[oops-prow-did-it-again]

so in the vein of innistrad cards that make me go feral

THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS ONE.

this is like if the pope had hired mercenaries that personally gifted him the severed wings of an actual breathing angel

#innistrad #mtg #magic the gathering #magic: the gathering #innistrad is fucking insane #the implications of this card are that #this inquisitor is going to GIVE this disembodied angel wing #to the current lunarch (head of avacynian church) #and the title of mantle #implies that the lunarch is going to WEAR. IT. #Ik this was printed in Eldritch Moon where everyone was going nuts #but this just feels like normla innistrad behavior tbf #back in avacyn restored the avacyn church was enslaving vampires so like #yknow

Cornwall's Random Card of the Day #848: Angel's Mercy

But how does he know...what angle to use???

Angel's Mercy is a common from Magic 2010, seen here in its Avacyn Restored printing. Boy, is this a bad card. Only 7 life for 4 mana. Any card that just gains life is pretty bad, since it generally doesn't even hold the opponent off for a turn, so you kinda Time Walked yourself. At least in Core Sets made for new players this would be liked, since new players have a real thing for lifegain, but it certainly was NOT the shot in the arm Avacyn Restored needed to make the players like it more.
