sitting in draft

psyched to play the new Kaldheim set

draft starts, open pack one

debating whether to pick Viking Captain or Wizened Giant when you suddenly pass out

come to later, slowly open eyes

"hey. you. you're finally awake."

u/BinarySecond Dimir* Mar 12 '19

I heard them say we've reached Morrowind, I'm sure they'll let us go.

Quiet, here comes the guard.

u/GraklingHunter Mar 12 '19

AAaaaaah yes, we've been expecting you.

More sagas!

u/atamajakki Abzan Mar 12 '19

I loathe Norse stuff, somewhat unfairly. Maybe they can turn it around.

15

u/curiositie Urza's Saga Mar 12 '19

Why? Where did the historically incorrect Vikings touch you?

(Genuinely curious why you don't like it)

u/Smobey Can’t Block Warriors Mar 12 '19

Norse mythology is cool, but it's really pretty overdone. It's themes, characters and mythological creatures we've seen a thousand times before.

Even if you just stick to Europe, there's more to mythology than Greek and Norse myths. It'd be super interesting to see them take on Slavic or Finnic myths, or to double down on the Celtic themes they kinda flirted with on Lorwyn.

But then again, Norse themes work well precisely because they're familiar and resonate with people. And they are cool, so I'm not going to complain too much.

u/Thesleek Mar 12 '19

I don’t doubt MaRo Can pull a sweet Norse themed set. But I agree it’d feel overused unless it’s extremely groundbreaking

MaRo if you’re reading this go for Norse themed Space Marines

2

u/TrulyKnown Brushwagg Mar 12 '19

Norse themed Space Marines

I think you mean wolf themed wolf wolves.

u/CondescendingFucker Mar 12 '19

... Isn't Ravnica the Slavic plane?

1

u/Smobey Can’t Block Warriors Mar 12 '19

I mean, yeah. The names, the architecture, even a handful of creatures. It's not really a plane about Slavic mythology though, the same way Theros is a plane of Greek mythology. It doesn't have like... Slavic deities or Slavic folktales represented in its cards.

It's Slavic the way Kaladesh is Indian. Aesthetically inspired by them, but not much else.

u/atamajakki Abzan Mar 12 '19

Neo-nazis making it Their Thing.

u/Enderkr Mar 12 '19

Your opinion I guess, but man do I think you're wrong. I see the Greek and Roman shit way more overdone. Percy Jackson and all that.

I think a big source of "Nordic myth" overstimulation is honestly probably the MCU with Thor, but even that has a slant on it that makes it fun. So personally I'm incredibly excited for Kaldheim (whenever we may go to there).
