Squirrels finally arrive! Riding thopters because they already took over kaladesh!

Damn yo
That escalated quickly
Least they can block Emrakul now...

Reminds me of a Cardboard Crack I saw pass by not too long ago.
Emrakul gets swarmed by squirrels, killing her.

they got to fly somehow

They were jumping in the picture, but yeah, mechanics fail.
Emmy is hard on cartoonists. Even the tragic slip one missed the fact she couldn't be targeted by it...

I'm gonna leave this here.
 Eldrazi Monument

Nahiri? Causing the crazy?

Alador called that one.
Whatever it is, Nahiri is behind it.
Emmy starts to become more likely now, as Nahiri was the one luring the Eldrazi in the first place.

You wanted to know why Nahiri was pissedboff at Sorin?

That's because when the Titans started to wake she asked for help, neither Ugin nor Sorin came.

After she settled them down she went to find him.
Not only did he brush her off, he shoved her into the Helvault as the first prisoner.

And left her there.

When the Helvault finally cracked, Zendikar was already under siege, Bela Ged was gone and both Titans walker the plane and Emrakul was MIA...



I'd be pissed too

Totally rooting for Nahiri over Sorin too.
"We made a deal".
- Yeah, I know, but I disconnected my phone since I was tired from working on not having to care about our problem for myself.
- What about us?
- *shove*

And then the warped version Sorin told earlier...

Sorin and Nahiri are among my favourite walkers. Have been for forever. I don't want them to kill each other...

But team Nahiri wtf Sorin you jerk.

Don't forget Sorin went to Zendikar to stop the eldrazi too. Nahiri's wasn't there when he showed up, only Ugin.

My feels. D:

Fluffy
The eldrazi were never on Zendikar before Nahiri reluctantly agreed to lure them threre to trap them.

It's always been her, sometimes actively, sometimes "resting" in the eye and maintaining the wards, but it has always been here protecting Zendikar. Up until Sorin failed to heed her call (in fact he ignored/blocked it) and when she came to inquire he turned into Sorin, D-bag of the millennium, and stuffed her in a silver "rock". Only then did Zendikar fall.

So not only could he be blamed for not heeding the call for aid, but he directly hindered the only protector from sustaining her vigil over the plane. He is directly to blame for the desolation of Zendikar.

It is only fitting that Nihiri reap her vengence in a similar manner. Sorin had the Helvault destroyed, which was part of him, then he had to unmake avacyn, which was half of him, at this point all he has left is himself and the plane he calls home, and Nihiri is about to take he latter, and maybe the former.

This is a quote from mtg salvation under Sorin Makarov's lore on mtgsalvation.....Sorin_Markov

"Some centuries later the Eldrazi managed to free themselves from their prison ethereally but not physically. Unable to depart, they started to consume Zendikar from within. Feeling the seal weakening, Sorin returned to the plane to imprison them once more."

There is more after it expanding on this, how Sorin went to Zendikar after the seal weakened and Ugin and Nahiri didn't show up.  Then in the alternate timeline, after Sarkhan saves Ugin, Sorin meets with Ugin after the seal weakens.  Ugin tells Sorin to go to Innistrad and find Nahiri.

There are several different instances of the bonds weakening before they fail because of Bolas' directions.
After the imprisonment, Nahiri fought these alone, as evidenced by her recollections in the latest story.
She then travelled to Inistrad to confront Sorin, who shoved her in the Helvault.
Years after, the seal was broken during the events in RoE. Only then, Sorin went to Zendikar.
After that, he awakened Ugin on Tarkir who told him to find Nahiri.

magic.wizard.....mrakul-rises

This gave me chills!

I miss elspeth =(

I miss elspeth =(

Well, her love struck a deal with Erebos. There's hope for her yet...
Elspeth, the Returned.

Though normally Returned don't retain the memories of their former life and are cursed to never achieve their goals, the deal Erebos strikes could be that she takes revenge on Heliod.
