Nahiri, the Lithomancer

Dwarves as White Race

Hi Mark! I feel like Dwarves would be a great characteristic race for white. Dwarves tend to be small-ish but strong (toughness boosts), good with smithing weapons (equipment), and living together as a community. Additionally, stone magic has been shown to be white with Nahiri, the Lithomancer being monowhite. Could they fit?

Maybe in the right world.

Planeswalkers vs Titans

Is it a favor fail that Ugin, the Spirit Dragon, Sorin Markov and Nahiri, the Lithomancer together can't incapacitate the RoE titans then?

We haven’t printed the three planeswalker cards from 4000 years ago. : )

Nahiri's Future Appearance

Hey MaRo, I'd like this to be the first of my questions you answer... Will we see Nahiri, the Lithomancer, in a future Standard Expansion?

That’s more of a Doug question. It depends on whether or not she’s still alive.

Stoneforge Mystic & Nahiri

Nahiri is fantastic, and so is the story. Much thanks to the creative team and Kelly Digges. I noticed that she is very similar in appearance to Stoneforge Mystic, and not just by being a female Kor, but also her clothes, haircut, and abilities. They are so similar it seems beyond coincidence. Is Stoneforge Mystic supposed to represent Nahiri in some way?

dougbeyermtg:
Nahiri was part of a tradition of kor stoneforgers — powerful mages who forge weapons from stone — and that tradition still exists on Zendikar today (which we know as the card Stoneforge Mystic). Nahiri’s (awesome) art by Eric Deschamps was definitely modeled on the art of Worldwake’s Stoneforge Mystic. Nahiri, the Lithomancer art by Eric Deschamps Nahiri’s title of “the Lithomancer” relates to this same tradition of stoneforging, and her talents in crafting with stone contributed to the trapping of the Eldrazi on Zendikar along with Ugin and Sorin. In short, Nahiri is the creator of Zendikar’s hedrons. More in “The Lithomancer” by Kelly Digges: http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/ur/lithomancer-2014-10-29 Art by Igor Kieryluk
For those that are curious about “the lithomancer”. Also, Doug answers the Stoneforge Mystic question.
