Ob-Nix's First Conquest
Lore forum

So, Wizards gave us the story behind Ob Nix's first worldly conquest and how he became a walker. Turns out he isn't "conquering" planes as much as he's wiping the life of them. Cool.

Not in the Lore section there hasn't been.
Besides, this is his second article, and hence, his second thread.

Thete was already a thread on this article, I think in SPS.

It's funny. There was a conversation about stereotypical black walkers awhile back, (I think in the context of sexualization of female characters) and I wondered what an amoral male would look like. Ob is it I guess. No moral compass required, simply doing what he needs to to get what he wants.
This was the first time I read the Ob Nixilis, Unshackled article too. Makes me even more stoked for a Return to Zendikar. He's not very nice.

Women will use their bodies. Men will use brute force.

To be fair, Liliana uses other peoples bodies a lot more than her own.

Although I'm pretty sure her body has gotten her pretty far too...

Don't both Jace and Liliana still have a thing for each other? I though that Liliana actually liked Jace...

No kidding. That's one powerful summoning ritual.

...now... since Ob is trapped on Zendikar...
...and he can recreate this ceremony...
...IF he can summon, once again, the beings of the cataclysm...
...Could it be the end of the Eldrazi...? At least their Planar forms outside the Blind Eternities.

Rayenous I'm pretty sure he can't repeat the ritual. He needed a special summoning cave with magic runes written on the walls and sacrifice altars and all that stuff. These special places don't exist on Zendikar.

That and as Ugin said: "if we kill them in this mortal plane then they will simply return to the AEther."

I came in at RTR, what's the story on Ob, or where can I find it? I discovered Worldwaker Ob awhile back, and found him pretty interesting.

Read the Source link in the original post, and then look for the other link at the top of the article. You'll find any relevant info there.

I think someone already did a thread on this, but Ob Nixilis is so cool he deserves another one.
And yeah, 2 lives to wipe out all life on the plane? Not a bad deal if you ask me.
