#vig snatched

[littjara-mirrorlake]

*whispers* Momir Vig was basically a Phyrexian *runs away quickly*

[littjara-mirrorlake]

Old Simic: led by corrupt biomancer Momir Vig, motivated by hubris, strayed from original purpose as guardians of nature and attempted to twist it to their own specifications without regard for other Ravnicans

New Simic:

simic guildmaster appreciation post

reasons zegana is cool:

singlehandedly revived the simic combine post-kraj (well ok not singlehandedly but she was a huge part of making it happen)

made the ravnican seas accessible again and became a voice for the merfolk

taught the reborn simic to learn from their mistakes and admit where they went wrong

calm voice of ethics and reason

had faith in the guild even when all seemed lost

formed the democratic zonot system that allows simic members to have a voice in politics

reasons vannifar is cool:

takes initiative to protect her guild

leads the simic through ravnica’s tense political climate with charisma and fire

pushes the science of biomancy in new directions without straight up repeating past mistakes *cough*

encourages ideals of constant growth and adaptation

bioengineered herself into a hyperevolved elf jellyfish

extremely sexy

reasons momir vig is cool:

none

garbageboy stinkman belongs in the toilet

simics i would die for

all of them

except momir vig

seriously, fuck him

[littjara-mirrorlake]

bad guildmaster hall of shame

probably not exhaustive

momir vig

szadek

augustin iv

jarad vod savo

isperia

aurelia

dovin baan

the entire obzedat

now i need to see momir vig with one of those shaming signs that says "i killed my whole guild with my hubris"

[littjara-mirrorlake]

to emphasize just how huge of a yikes Momir Vig was, both as a guildmaster and as a person, today I learned that he fucked up so bad with Experiment Kraj that the other guilds straight up omitted the Simic symbol from art pieces

(not to mention that he basically killed off the entire guild with his cytoplasts)

all together now

yikes

[littjara-mirrorlake]

gonna build a deck with experiment kraj

as momir vig’s creation and the pinnacle of what simics strive not to be, it is a flavor felony. however, the reason behind this project is so i can build the most obnoxiously in-your-face simic deck you ever did see

+1/+1 counters, mutants, graft, oozes, mashing stuff together, evolve, adapt, flying, trample, proliferate, pod. imma create a mashup of activated abilities so unholy, momir “disgrace to the simic combine” vig will turn in his grave. eat my voidslime and my tentacles and my infinite ooze tokens

i ooze blue and green mana from my pores and when i planeswalk the leylines converge on me

i’m so simic even the freakiest monsterfuckers on rule34 look at me and cower

oh also vannifar hot

[littjara-mirrorlake]

mtg update: i splashed black. I’m fully indulging my new evil aesthetic.

would I, in a Ravnican situation, want to play that up? no, probably not, look at where that got Momir Vig — that’d just be hurting my guild. it would be selfish. I couldn’t. (plus, I’m actually red tertiary.)

but if I was an evil mad scientist alone in a wizard tower on Innistrad with ghosts howling outside my walls as rain poured down mercilessly??? there’s a different story.

Volrath the Shapestealer? absolutely Dark Simic. absolutely the exact thing Zegana seeks to avoid. in practice I’m all for ethical Simic research, and I’d never hurt a fly as a biomancer... but this new Sultai edgelord getup? Yes.
