Shadows of innistrad (baseless speculation and spoilers)

I'm still super confused

Basically once card is transformed. If there were still triggers on stack.  It won't flip back over.  Once it's transformed it stays transformed unless otherwise noted.

Transform is now being directly labeled as an ability that flips a card from its front side to its backside. this means that a card that has become transformed cannot be transformed again. think like monsterous, it has to be flickered if you want to do it again.

Not entirely. If you activate a transform ability, the permanent will only do so if it hasn't transformed before the ability resolves.

From seeing {Warped Landscape} and {Thraben Inspector} looks like we spend Shadows Investigating and find out on Eldritch Moon that Emrakul is hiding or just chilling in the plane underground. Could be Merit Lage but I think Warping is more related to Eldrazi (shout outs to {Warping Wail}), and Eldritch does share the first four letters with Eldrazi (even tho it just means "weird, sinister, or ghostly"). The flavor text on Warped Landscape says "Each cryptolith twists the plane's mana, bending to a singular purpose." so something is stealing the planes mana for its purpose, and the tentacles seen on both cards do look like Emmy's. AND "there's more to Avacyns madness" in {Tamiyo's Journal}. Maybe The new Emmrakul (if new Emmy) is controlling the mind of Avacyn or warping her thinking (gains control of creatures when it's cast)?

Here's the lore for Emmy, courtesy of mtgsalvation:

Emrakul is the Titan of Corruption, the largest and most fearsome of the Eldrazi. She does not affect unliving matter - rocks, water, etc...but twists all things living, be it plants, animals, or sentient beings. She causes silent terror wherever she soars, embodying desolation, emotional and physical distance, the chill of the void, and the terror of being alone.

The Emrakul lineage is characterized by fleshlike lattice structures, uneasy bilateral symmetry, and tentacles that end in knobby, vestigial digits. Looking like spongy, alien baleen, the lattice respires independent of the Eldrazi itself, supporting a host of unseen mite-creatures within. Some within this lineage, including Emrakul itself, float above the ground, using unknown powers to alter the surrounding gravity.

The onset of terror and increased aggression would fit Emmy on Inistrad. However, as Sorin's creation as guardian of the balance, I'm as yet unsure why Avacyn would've affected like she seems to be.

Nahiri standing in the middle of warped landscape?

Nahiri standing in the middle of warped landscape?

I was thinking the same thing. But wanted stone forge. 😈😈

[Avnger345]

I thought I saw someone ask Mari if Emmy was on innistrad.  He said no

[LinkCelestrial]

Why exactly is Nahiri pissed at Sorin?

[LinkCelestrial]

But he rez'd Ugin...why didn't he come back with him? And why didn't Nahiri go fight the Eldrazi? And why does she make it sound like her plane was attacked? Where's Nahiri from? So many questions.

[LinkCelestrial]

But Sorin was looking for him...I thought he helped? Or did he think all was lost? Sounds like a miscommunication. I just want this resolved peacefully because two of my favourite Planeswalkers are about to throw down.

{Bitter Revelation} flavour text.

Sorin and Arlinn Flip-Walker all but confirmed by LSV

[MarduArrow]

Interesting thought, could Nahiri possibly be the cause of all the weird stuff happening on innistrad? Some sort of cursed stone thing?

[InfinitiveDivinity]

Idk, but {Thing in the Ice}!!!!!!

Holy cow this card is nuts!!

Edit: I saw a prediction floating around that Ms.Marit Lage might be the entity hanging out on Innistrad. Now that would be sweet!

[DirtyMustachio]

What if marit Lage was an eldrazi
