Weatherlight Crew Cards

New 12 Feb 2023 Asked by dalenthas 43 Comments

Can I request modern takes on the remaining members of the Weatherlight crew who haven't gotten them yet? Crovax, Orim, Starke, Takara, pre-Completion Ertai. I would also like new cards for related characters like Eladamri and Selenia.


How about poor Lyna? She’s never even gotten one card (save a Vanguard card). Takara didn’t have one for years.

Remaking Selenia

New 27 Dec 2019 Asked by mmonkeyfeet 36 Comments

As a fan of the original b/w legendary angel Selenia, Is there a good chance of seeing a remake soon? If not, is it more of a when or an If?


I’d call it an if. We seem to be redoing all of the Weatherlight Saga characters (slowly, over time).

Angel Trivia Gift

New 03 Jul 2018 Asked by the-worthless-person-deactivate 44 Comments

Hello Mark, Last week was my bday, i really love the dedication you put in answering question. Could I get a trivia about my favorite creature type: Angels?. Thanks and have a nice day


The one Angel character I (co-)creature was Selenia, Dark Angel. We were writing the Weatherlight Saga and were trying to find the place for an angel when I came up with the idea of an angel that was the embodiment of a curse. Happy Belated Birthday!

Crovax and Selenia Lore

New 02 Jul 2018 Asked by szwanger 40 Comments

Was "Crovax kills Selenia which causes him to turn into a vampire" in your original story of the Weather light crew?


Yes.

Mirri Crovax Alternate Story

New 08 Aug 2017 Asked by bcrossfire 65 Comments

"Mirri, on the other hand, explores what if Crovax had turned her into a Vampire instead of killing her." Er, not quite. In the alternate timeline, Mirri ended up killing Selenia instead of Crovax, causing her to become cursed instead. Crovax had to flee from Mirri as depicted in Keen Sense and became Crovax, Ascendant Hero.


That is true. We talked about different alternative versions and I forgot the one we settled on.

Black/White Trivia

Maro! I'll give this another shot. Today is my partner's and my seventh wedding anniversary! Any trivia on the black/white colour pair (our wedding colours and also, not coincidentally, the thing that first drew me to Magic).


I believe the first solely black/white legendary creature was Selenia, Dark Angel, a character Michael and I created to get an angel into the Weatherlight Saga.Happy Anniversary!

Selenia Trivia

New 06 Sep 2015 Asked by creevianlegacy-deactivated20160 10 Comments

Hey Mark, it was my birthday about a week ago, but my question got lost in the shuffle. Do you have any trivia on any black/white card of your choice?


We made the character of Selenia, Dark Angel (her card is in Tempest) because we felt the Weatherlight Story should have a Serra Angel-like card but tweaked to be a different take. Happy Birthday!

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!

Selenia Trivia

New 17 Aug 2014 Asked by kandykidzero 23 Comments

Hi Mark, today is my 31st birthday and I fell in love with the black white color combination when I opened up my very first Selenia when Tempest came out many years ago. Might you have any trivia about her for us? Thank you!


Selenia got added to the story because we wanted a role for an angel and while we were trying to figure out a way to ultimately curse Crovax and turn him into a vampire, Selenia seemed the perfect answer.

Character Traits Discussion

New 01 Dec 2013 Asked by spectrallynx 17 Comments

Crovax is black and he loved Selenia. Starke is mono-red and he betrayed everyone! Isn't that backwords?


Characters of a black influence can love and those of a red influence can betray.

Crovax's Black Alignment

Weatherlight Characters Expansion

New 15 May 2012 Asked by stiltsonstairs 2 Comments

Out of all the Weatherlight characters excluding the main crew which would you have liked to see have more face time? I think Starke of Rath would have been interesting to flesh out more.


I think Selenia deserved more face time (what in my Hollywood days I would call “screen time”). I also loved writing for Greven il-Vec.

Angel Reliability

New 28 Mar 2012 Asked by mandramas 17 Comments

Let me see. Serra left their plane in the middle of Phyrexia invasion. Radiant was corrupted. Selenia cursed Crovax. Akroma becames into Karona. Razia was killed and replaced by a lupul. Asha left Bant. Avacyn left Innistrad. Is the moral "Don't trust on angels"?


As you will see Avacyn didn’t just leave. Other than that, yes angels haven’t proved all that trustworthy historically speaking.
