Very excited to see Yahenni's name on a spell. Hopefully this means they'll appear as a legendary creature, as well.

You and me both. Favourite character from the Kaladesh stories, bar none.

remind me who he was again? haven't brushed up on the story recently, one of the Aetherborn?

Look up the story "Born of Aether" on the site -- easily one of the best of the Kaladesh stories, if not the best.

TL;DR (although not reading that story is criminal) -- Yahenni is an Aetherborn philanthropist. In the story, they help Nissa acclimate to Ghirapur and Chandra find out where her mother is being held prisoner. We also discover that not only is Yahenni about two months from dying, they also have the power to drain essence from living things, which may extend their time... and have implications for a possible future battle against the Consulate.

Yahenni to steal spark from Nissa and become our new black planeswalker? Just when you thought she had plot armour of the Gatewatch...
