Post by: Taysby on June 09, 2014, 11:14:29 PM
I just watched the theros reels, and what's up with elspeth?  Did she die fighting Xenagos?

Heliod killed her, once he figured out she could kill gods, and as a planeswalker she might be able to become a god like xenagos did.

Look at the art for the FtV wrath of god. It's probably on all the spoilers by now.

To be honest, I am still looking forward to Erebos the next time we come to theros.  Did anyone watch the set trailer, he looked like he was gonna overthrow all the other gods.  Story arch next time we go there has been hinted at, and you have been warned.

Recap:
Elspeth kills Xenagos.  Heliod realizes this could actually be a problem, and kills Elspeth with the Godsend.  HOWEVER, being killed on a Plane with an Underworld is pretty nice, since there are ways of leaving Theros' Underworld (the most common of which is becoming a Returned).  Elspeth just needs to find a way back to the living area of Theros.

Pretty sure in the novels, but I just pick up things around the internet.

Yeah, I got into a wee bit of trouble on another forum for saying that Elspeth died. Just because people wanted to know where the artwork for the Worlds Top 8 mat comes from. Some say it's the Chained Veil. I said it was Elspeth's mask... I got hit up for that...

Well there is a lowing statue of her i the hall of triumph
So she could possibly become a god or be returned to Theros as a bad ass angel

Change the first ability to exile up to 1 target enchantment.  Otherwise, if there's no target you can't even use it.  Otherwise, I want all of these.

i dont mean as part of the abilty. i just mean she should start at a loyalty where activating that on the turn she comes in would cause her to have 0 loyalty left.

Make it cost 3 to use, that way she doesn't die from it being activated, but she'll die to anything else until your next turn.

She can't die to a bolt though?  You cast her and before they get priority you +2, now she's at 5 and then you pass priority for them to respond with spells/abilities.  But I also agree with a -3, just makes me not love her as much as I already do.
