For Challenge # 075.
I remember thinking that Thalia was going to be a planeswalker in Avacyn Restored. Obviously, I was incorrect. I hope that one day Wizards introduces a legendary character in the first set of a block that becomes a planeswalker by the final set.
Solid. Nice design. She's a Glorious Anthem but only on your turn, that can instead cast Celestial Purge on future turns if you need to. And casts a pretty harsh (but very variable) emblem that slightly evokes her creature version, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben.
If there's anything to criticise about this design it'll be the emblem. It'll do almost nothing against some decks while being utter game over against some others.
Yes, flavour-wise what you suggest would be great. I'm sure it'll happen eventually.
Heh, and so is Mark Rosewater.
I was going for a flavorful design, or at least one linked to her previous version, but I feel like I ended up making a sideboard planeswalker.
Funnily enough, the reverse of what I was hoping for has now happened. We have a planeswalker that became a legendary creature: Xenagos, the Reveler became Xenagos, God of Revels.
Her ultimate is now the ultimate of Narset Transcendent, word-for-word. In fact, Narset's story literally follows what I laid out in the first post: she got a creature card in Khans of Tarkir and a planeswalker card in Dragons of Tarkir.
