Edit: I did like the interactions between Tyvar and Zimone (who just happen to appear out if nowhere at the right time.), they’re fun together. Zimone as a bishie-Tyvar fangirl is cute.
Eh, fine I guess.
All the Nezumi die off screen and everything is OK… Apart from all the ways it isn’t. Very linking material this story.
Valgavoth seems to have Loot, somehow, and Proft too maybe?
I hope they leave some hooks for more natural storylines once this 3-4 year story is over.
Valgavoth with Loot implies him being a villain later in this story.
But Ixalan is looking story-ful with both the Mycotyrant and the Torrezonian Schism (I’m well hype for Vampire Church Politics set (and hope that that is all it is about, no idea what that leaves Green to do, though)). And also the new warmonger boy-King of the Sun Empire.
Thunder Junction could try to sort out the “no native sentients” vs. “sentient cactus people already live here” thing with some applied actual anti-colonial rhetoric, Argent Company being implicit good was a bit eh, as is how Niv Mizzet’s dickishness seeming to be more informed than seen of late.
This feels like another case of “I wish the story team had more episodes to work with.” We didn’t get to see very many of the houses horrors, nor much of any survivors in the main plot other than Winter. Razorkin, Cellarspawn and the Overlords all have really cool lore that we never got to see.
Also just straight up stabbing Valgavoth seemed… Too easy? Thankfully they didn’t kill him but it seems like it should have taken more luck/planning to escape. But the temporary door was at least a cool solution, it would have made Valgavoth seem incompetent if they escaped through the door he made for Winter.
Speaking of incompetent, the fact that we have no idea why Loot, Vraska and Jace are on Duskmourn make them seem really stupid. And how are they going to get out, especially now that Valgavoth has Loot?
