IT’S HERE!!!!!!!! Surprise! 10 thousand words of Urabrask and Ayara slowly learning to trust one another!! Oh and also Ash is there. This will probably be the last of my Wilds of Eldraine side stories, sadly, unless I decide to come back to some of the ideas I left on the chopping block. Comments and the like are all greatly appreciated, so I hope you enjoy reading!!

Voting ended onAug 8, 2024

Propaganda under the cut.

Grist

Color identity: Golgari

Featured art by: Victor Adame Minguez

-excellent leadership skills (large swarms of insects only) -growth mindset (aforementioned large swarms of insects used as bug mecha) -just vibing (eating all plant life with her large swarms of insects) -unaffected by consequences (peaces out from "disrupted" planes to find new insects)

Literally a QUEEN of a hive-like structure, such Queen energy that she gets a new posse every plane she planeswalks to. Also looks absolutely metal af no matter the posse

Ayara

Color identity: Black

Featured art by: Ryan Pancoast

Where to begin... feudal aristocrat, sends people to their doom for fun, taps to sacrifice things, the list is endless.

Ayara cherished her new machine servitors just as much as she once did her many suitors: not at all.

-Ayara, Furnace Queen

Ayara, Widow of the Realm

Urabrask and Ayara both have big Cat Person energy, but I'm wondering if Urabrask even knows what a cat is. Like, does Ayara ask him, "Honey, can we get a cat?" and then Urabrask just nods. He goes off and forges some sort of creature that is completely adorable/terrifying, but bears 0 resemblance to a cat.

March of the Machine: Eldraine and Innistrad.

I'm a big big big fan of the Innistrad story. Like, super big. Gissa and Geralf are always fun perspectives and this time was no different. I also liked the art shown. Specifically this one:

Because A) Phyrexian Cathars are cool, and B) because it's a Phyrexian of the Machine orthodoxy that has style. The belts, cape, and prayer tags are great additions.

As for Eldraine, it was fine. I'm not a fan of Rankle, (and he has terrible taste, I mean, he falls for her then he sees this:

and changes his mind? Pathetic.) But I do think that the love-potion rain into a giant chasm was a good idea. Still a horrendous lack of Urabrask, especially with Ayara's new Furnace Queen epithet.
