Let's check in on what Elspeth has been up to in a story that should've come out years ago.

Next I thought I'd post some of the cards that show up. OUR HERO(ine). A dollar bin bulk mythic rare. Guess that escape cost was just too high.

Ominous titan. Maybe it'll play a bigger role? Or maybe the others will show up later.

I looked it up. Looks like it releases right after this Elspeth series wraps up. The blurb says it focuses on his relationship with Tezzeret who was his mentor at some point. This feels weird since it doesn't directly sync up with new card releases. I don't mind the general idea of revisiting characters and settings though. The pace of new sets being released always results in the settings and characters being underbaked.

Hasn't that already been the plot of jace prose book?
Why redo that storyline?
I guess it's better than Loot-related storylines

Yeah it costs one less and is part of a two card infinite combo with triskelion. The original one is mainly an expensive mana sink and an occasional big beater once you get enough devotion.

Unc... that's not new. Those guys you're comparing came out a few years after the original release. Around 30 years ago.

Most of the nu-walkers were/became shit, but even they weren't as bad as what came later.

The Daxos in this story proper is the WB zombie from a commander release, so he gets "better" at some point.
>>152670116
Elspeth leaves the plane and so Klothys makes him a planeswalker, then the nuPhyrexia War happens and he loses his spark.
