Feh, all you have to do to beat Nicol Bolas is cast armageddon. At least, before he can hit you.

Guess they have no black mana to rez Gideon

For a serious multi plane disaster this was honestly hilarious. Especially where Jace tells Vraska he’s going to kill his ex-girlfriend.

Extremely fast paced, cutting out all of the fun character interactions but it sums up the important details from war of the spark. The writing itself is ass, as the romance between Jace and Vraska was written by a different author and falls short, and the random LGTB pairings seem to have more focus, despite there being no tells whatsoever, or maybe I’m just dense. The virtue signaling in Wizards of the Coast is real, as they tried to parade Teyo as the first Hispanic planeswalker (he’s not from Earth btw).

That aside, there’s lots of great dialogue between characters. Jace finally calling Gideon a friend, Teyo developing as a character with his newfound spark, Gideon asking about Mowu, Ob being a sarcastic joker... I liked it. Give the novel a read if you can. Or not since WotC is trying to sell a subpar war story where most of the people that die are unnamed NPCs.

Wait, wasn't teffers in WAR? Or was he not included in the novel story?

Spoiler

Teferi does indeed appear in the novel, but as far as I remember, he mostly used magic to attack Eternals or prank/distract them. His role was severely insignificant in the grand scheme of things, mostly used to turn people invisible.

This is so bad... I feel bad for the story since the cards portrayed it in a really epic way only for the book to screw everything over.

@Varler should I read the book? Didn't read any book related to magic except the origin story.
