Aligned Hedron Network

Character Color Choices

Why wasn't Ob Nixilis BR in BFZ? Would have color balanced the PWs in the set pretty nicely, not to mention he could have had a permanent-destroying ability that would allow him to remove Aligned Hedron Network, fitting the story.

I believe the character is black/red. I assume he fit some role in Standard as monoblack.

Ob Nixilis Story Arc

Ob being resparked is obviously shown, and I think that the story is told well and in a clear fashion (Jace and Ugin talk it out and have some big disagreements, Gideon retakes Sea Gate, Nissa's connection to Zendikar returns after some wandering, eventually they agree to at least temporarily seal Ulamog in the Aligned Hedron Network and do so, Ob Nixilis runs around and resparks at some point). But I never learned from the cards how Ob reignited. I wish that had been there.

It seems like that one point should have been on a card. This is a learning process and as someone that can see ahead, the creative team is going full throttle in figuring out the best way to tell the story through the game.

Ulamog's Fate Uncertain

Just because we see Ulamog caught in the aligned hedron network doesn't give the full ending; correct? He can escape, he could be caught, it is a pivotal moment that raises more questions than give answers.

I am surprised how many people see one card (in the first set of two, no less) and are like “Well, I guess that’s done.” Hint: It might not be done yet. For the first time, I’m going to reveal something: Oath of the Gatewatch does have a story. (Duh, duh,duh.) : )

Hedron Network Misinterpretation

Since many people seem to believe that Aligned Hedron Network means that Ulamog has been defeated for good n BFZ, wouldn't you say that its choice as a Pivotal Moment might have been a mistake anyway?

If only there was a second part to this story. : )

Story Continuation Tease

Mark, I'm fine with showing Ulamog trapped in the Aligned Hedron Network. I don't know who won the Dragon's Maze race, but I do know that Elspeth killed Xenagos (Deicide). I've never read an Uncharted Realms, and I don't really have plans to, but I would like to know whether the next block will be Return to Return to Zendikar or New Eldrazia, and now I do.

I hope you all are aware that there’s more story in Oath of the Gatewatch. : )
