Something I noticed while poking around in my collection

I'm not sure this is the right place to post this, but I don't know where else it would go.

When I was digging through my collection, I found an obscure common from Morningtide: Seething Pathblazer. The card itself isn't particularly exciting, but what I noticed was the flavor text. "Flamekin death rites are elaborate and spectacular affairs. Their greatest fear is death in obscurity." This idea is remarkably similar to the Aetherborn of Kaladesh, whose greatest fear is dying alone.

I highly doubt there's an important connection here, but it's fascinating to see two fairly similar ideas around death develop in two different colors on two different planes.

More evidence that the aetherborn should have just had the "Elemental" sub-type.
