Something that rustles my jimmies is that in the Novel Planeswalker, we get a history of rhe early life of Xantcha, the Phyrexian Sleeper Agent turned traitor and companion to a very insane Urza.

And a scene early in her life is meeting another Sleeper Agent Identical to her. Now all the Sleeper Agents were based of a set amount of people and didnt really age (hence how mortals would eventually catch on). In order to tell each other apart, Xantcha changes her hair while the other Agent dyes hers Red. This act of rebellion sees both of them punished, but eventually the gate to Dominaria in Koilos reopens and a bunch of Sleeper Agents are sent out, including the red headed one. Years later as Xantcha is about to be sent out, the gate closes and the Dominarian Sleeper Agent program is abandoned. Gix, head of this plan and Praetor ruling over Xantcha is punished.

But in The Brother's War there is a red haired girl, with no morals that comes out of nowhere and is skilled in artifice. A girl who does not age no matter how long the war goes on.

Ashnod. Who was not printed as a Phyrexian on either card. Is this a retcon, red herring, coincidence or oversight?

J’ai vécu avec une femme, et puis au bout de 48h elle a décidé qu’on se séparerait d’un commun accord. Alors j’ai pas bien supporté, j’ai même essayé de me suicider. J’ai mis l’adagio d’Albinoni, j’ai avalé deux tubes de laxatifs et puis hop, j’ai perdu 16 kilos et ma moquette ! - Michel Blanc (Jean-Claude Dusse), Les Bronzés, 1978.
