Weird comparison of alara

[Birdbrain]

I think it is a perfect allagory for different settings in the bible.
Naya=garden of Eden
Jund= the world after the exile
Bant= the world post flood
Grixis= do I even need to explain what this is
Esper= this one was the hardest. Though I would say the world talked about in revelations

[Fenster]

If anything esper could be considered a godless world in biblical aspecs. I feel like its completely void of biblical "christian values" (not to be confused the political meaning of "christian values"

[Birdbrain]

Also. It describes the world described in revelations and other end time profecies

1. "because of the increase of evil, the hearts of many will grow cold."
Blue is described as a cold color. Plus the artifact creatures represent this as well.

2. Obviously the false profit is trying to bring order to a world wrought with violence.

3. The false profit makes an idol.

4. The mark of the beast could be considerd another way to bring order to the world

5. All the deciet has a {U}{B} flavor to it (arnt those the two colors of deciet?)

There are other examples, but I haven't read revelations or gone to church in a while

I know less than you so you're probably right
Pretty cool though

[Mikefrompluto]

{Wrath of God} and {damnation} definitely have biblical references. And so does Gideon.

[Langku]

A lot of mtg and fantasy in general have biblical roots. {swords to plowshares} is another rooted in old King James Bible language.

Oh yeah. And {armageddon}, angels, and devils though these, like all mythologies, borrow from other traditions.
