Complete and utter flavor fail...
None of her abilities have anything to do with lithomancy...
-stone-forged  blade
Which is being a blacksmith... Not divining the future from stones...

Think about it this way - In Fantasy settings, the suffix -mancy generally implies manipulation, rather than divination.  In the same way we call Chandra a Pyromancer (even though she clearly only uses it to blow stuff up and not for divination), we call Nahiri a Lithomancer, because she manipulates Stone.
{Chandra, Pyromaster} 0 ability can be considered a form of divination. By exiling the top card, you are 1 card deeper (the future), which you might play that turn (because the future is never guarenteed).
Upon further research, I guess Nahiri's -2 ability could be considered a form of lithomancy, by bringing an equipment back from the grave (seeing the past) or bringing one in from your hand (clarifying the present). Which lithomancy can do: "see" the past, clarify the present or predict the future.

It's a story fail basically. She had her spark pre-mending when Sorin, Ugin and Nahiri trapped the Eldrazi on Zendikar. She is pictured on {Stoneforge Mystic}, even the same armband welding the sword she pulled from that stone she split. There is no reason she should also be {Stoneforge Mystic} because it's non-legendary. {Nicol Bolas}, {Karn, Silver Golem} and {Venser, Shaper Savant} are all legendary planeswalkers/future planeswalkers

Also, this -



Turns out she WAS the Stoneforge Mystic the whole time!  And her cards is pretty sweet and provides awesome utility for any Equipment-based deck.  Isamaru decks will love her.
She's beautiful...

So, I don't think has been mentioned yet, but Reef Wurm may be the best card were printed on flavor grounds.
It's the creature that keeps on giving...
Do broken stuff with  {Hell's Caretaker}...

Falcon182

 {Phyrexian Altar},  {Goblin Bombardment},  {Fling},  {Butcher of the Horde},   {Abjure} (lol!!),  {Altar of Bone}...

Just had an idea for a sweet  small{Pox} deck with that dude!!

NovusOrbis

She's still an incredible card, despite the flavor fail.

Dudecore

This card is from thousands of years in the past. Return to Zendikar nothing

Dudecore

I mean, why would she dress like herself and just do the same things if she was laying low? Seems to defeat the purpose. Nahiri might be dead by this point in the story, but if she is {Stoneforge Mystic} then they got some 'splainin to do.

According to Doug, Nahiri is from a long tradition of Kor lithomancers and that is why she looks like Stoneforge Mystic. Basically, Nahiri is SFM, but not all SFM are Nahiri.

Any hope for a {sword of fire and ice} reprint?

Is emrakul still floating AFTER being turned to stone??

rarehuntertay

Teferi, Freyalisr, Titania and Feldon confirms return to Dominaria!!!

Remillo

It's probably an image meant to show when they first sealed them.  Pretty sure Ugin won't be coming back to life, but rather, grant his powers to Sarkhan.
