This is a very specific ask but I'd like to request a Fatal Push reprint with art depicting Greven il-Vec pushing Vhati from the Predator.


I like the reference. : )

Crovax and Selenia Trivia

New 20 Sep 2014 Asked by pjweisberg 98 Comments

Prerelease day is also my birthday! Can you give me some trivia about Crovax and Selenia? (The characters, not the cards.)


When we were making the Weatherlight crew, we wanted to make sure it included every color. For black we loved idea of the team having a vampire , but it seemed like it would be crazy for them to invite a vampire along. So we came up with a story where Crovax, a nobleman, unleashed an artificial creature from a cursed magical item. And the curse was it made him fall madly in love with the creature. We thought it would be best for that creature to be an angel as they are artificially created. Plus, a vampire in love with an angel sounded cool. Crovax, because he loves Selenia, frees her only to have her return to her previous owner, Volrath (who had given the cursed item to Crovax’s family in the first place). Selenia flees to Rath but it is the bond between the two that allows Crovax to lead the Weatherlight to the nexus that allows them to travel to Rath. This link is also the reason that Volrath is aware of the Weatherlight and sends the predator with Greven il-Vec to stop them. Selenia’s link to Crovax, by the way, is the “whisper of the muse” (which explains the art on the card). When the crew is in Volrath’s stronghold rescuing Sisay, Karn, Tahngarth and Takara, they are attacked on a bridge by Selenia. Crovax, defending Mirri, has no choice but to kill Selenia thus completing the curse turning him into a vampire. As he’s now part of the crew, they have to accept him and voila there’s a vampire on the crew. Note in the original story we created Crovax doesn’t turn evil and doesn’t kill Mirri. And that is probably more than you wanted to know about Crovax and Selenia. Happy Birthday!

En-Vec Meaning

New 30 Aug 2014 Asked by aaronlovesmtg 62 Comments

What did En-Vec mean on older cards like Paladin en-vec


On Rath, there were three tribes, the Kor, the Vec and the Dal. If you are part of the group, you are “en”. If you have been shunned by the group, you are “il”. For example, Greven il-Vec (Volrath’s second-in-command) was from the Vec tribe but had been kicked out. Technically, by the way, “en” or “il” is supposed to be in italics.

Favorite Villain Quote

Whats your favorite villain quote (MTG or other wise)?


I love the Greven il-Vec/Vhati il-Dal scene from Tempest:
“Sir, I just thought … ,” explained Vhati.
“Don’t think,” interrupted Greven. “It doesn’t suit you.”
“The cannon wasn’t aimed at you” pleaded Vhati.
“I’m not sure which is more pathetic,” replied Greven, “your judgment or your aim.”
Greven il-Vec lifted Vhati off his feet. “The fall will give you time to think on your failure.”
