Wait I just realized something about the destruction of the Lich King. Wasn't he supposed to be in control of the armies of the Scourge? The whole "there must always be a Lich King" deal is to stop uncontrollable undead from overrunning the world, right? Is this another bullshit retcon/neglected fact or was this addressed somewhere (even if it was done poorly)?

Yes to the first two questions. I’ve heard the pre-launch event will involve fighting back the Scourge, and Shadowlands will probably involve us repairing the Helm so Bolvar can get them back under control.

Of course that begs the question “So what happens with this limitless army between the pre-lauch event and repairing the Helm?” knowing Blizzard the answer will probably be, “Bolvar kind of forgot about the Scourge.” 

Though I will say we’re not even to the pre-launch event yet and this expansion already makes 10x more sense than the entirety of BFA (even if the trailer was a load of bullshit), which is a massive improvement.

What happens if two players each control a Pramikon, Sky Rampart naming different directions?

Players will only be able to attack if the same opponent is the nearest opponent on both the left and the right. This means that they won’t be able to attack at all unless that opponent is the same, which only happens when there are only two players remaining in the game.

Do... do deer eat other deer?

it can spread from deer to deer through saliva or other body fluids when they share food, although deer will definitely also scavenge meat.

How did the House of Mystery suck? We need details.

obviously vortexes arent real, the whole thing was based on illusions and perspective. like “guess how tall this thing is” “uhhh idk like 10 feet” “well its actually EIGHT feet...”

Isn't Ganondorf the hero of his own story? ie Wind Waker.

no i definitely wouldn’t call him a hero. even tho he did have characterization and good motivation in that game. he still wanted to own hyrule, he literally asked the gods to give it to him, and we know how hyrule looks under his rule in oot so he didn’t have good intentions. 

hyrule was literally flooded to protect it from him razing it when he broke free from the sacred realm. he was about to wreck so much, the gods were like “you fucking want it so much you little shit? there, it’s gone. now no one can have it so settle down alright” 

and then ganon was like “i will not. i’ll show you”

Vorthos is a psychographic profile. They categorize how a player plays the game. Timmy/Tammy, Johnny/Jenny, and Spike are general profiles. And Mel and Vorthos are aesthetic profiles. You can find more info about them on mtgsalvation /player_type. Also, Mark Rosewater is a good person to go to to ask about them.

from what i understand of the articles i finally found and devoured, vorthos and melvin are not actually psychographic profiles! in fact mark rosewater explicitly says theyre not. a psychographic profile (like timmy/johnny/spike) describes how someone plays magic, what they expect to achieve and get out of a game or building a deck. vorthos and melvin are more like layers to that. theyre like u said, what someone appreciates about a card/deck aesthetically, but it doesnt necessarily affect their play mechanics. basically the only way to be purely vorthos or purely melvin is if u didnt actually play the game but just appreciated it from afar. since psychographic profiles describe why/how u play, a purely vorthos person wouldnt have a classification there cuz they dont play at all. if that makes sense. i could just be telling u what u already kno lmao

The 'champion concept art' is 100% the girl from Fire Emblem: Fates turned into a Pokemon trainer. I've not played the game, but I'm sure there's a joke somewhere to be had for those that have played it.

Oh thank you, I honestly was kinda confused because I didn't know if it was a joke or not lmao (also I haven't played fef yet either so I was out of the loop)
