Fall of the Titans

Eldrazi Fate Query

New 09 Jan 2016 Asked by orannisthesquirrelking 31 Comments

So Fall of the Titans says Chandra incinerated Ulamog and Kozilek; are those two Eldrazi dead now, leaving Emrakul the only remaining Eldrazi, or did she just destroy their current forms?


A great question for Doug as I have no idea.

Storytelling Method Support

This isn't a question, I just wanted to voice my support for the new story delivery method. I remember looking at sets like Innistrad and thinking there was a great story just out of my reach. It was a little jarring at first to see the resolution to a major story arc on a card like Fall of the Titans, but it's much better than never knowing what's going on at all.


You represent a lot of players. One of the biggest stumbling blocks was players knowing a story existed but not knowing how to access it.

Storytelling Method

Would R&D consider leaving the plot finale (i.e. Zendikar Resurgent) out of the cards? I find it strange to have "Kozilek's Return" and "Fall of the Titans" in the same set.


A lot of people are unaware that Heliod killed Elspeth at the end of the Theros story because we left it off cards. We’ve learned that we can’t do that. The *majority* of players get 100% of their story information from the cards. If we want them to know the story (and we do) it means putting it on the cards, ending and all. Another way to think of it is this, we tried doing what you’re asking us to do for many years and it failed. We’ve switched over and it appears to be working better than any previous story telling method we’ve tried. Magic is a tricky medium to tell story because the story telling isn’t sequential. That means that it’s super important for us to be very loud about the key story points so players can understand them. The reward for the faithful story fan is not in the overall story structure but in the details. Yes, the Gatewatch win but exactly why and how.
