New Uncharted Realms, ya'll! (yes I'm Southern, get over it)
Big news out of this week. Zurgo is now a Bellringer, not a Helmsmasher. Kolaghan got some sick new art. Taigam is a Master in the Ojutai brood. Oh, and Narset is a heretic and "was dealt with".
Discuss!

This story keeps getting more an more enjoyable with each uncharted realm they put out, I've been eagerly following it each and every week. Ha ha, Zurgo Bellringer...as of yet we don't really have a concept for what exactly his role in the Kolaghan brood is but that is just too funny XD
Its sick seeing Taigam as a Jeskai, looks he finally did find the power he always sought...I guess all it took was to learn from a dragon instead.
And Narset! Damn I hope we hear more about what happened to her and if she is still alive, I'm finding myself really rooting for Sarkhan to finally get some loving. Oooh and maybe the heavily theorized 'narset becomes a Planeswalker' thing could become real...like, Ojutai attempted to kill her but her spark ignited and she walked away. And then her and Sarkhan can get together and Magic can have an adorable Planeswalker couple! We can only dream <3

I'm guessing that her being "no more" is actually that she planeswalked away. And wow, Sarkhan really seems to have the hots for Narset.

i have the feeling Narset's spark egnite ignited. when sarkhan's ignited the mardu treated him the same way

Wow, very interesting read again. Though it is really funny how Sarkhan's always treated like a madman, haha.

I suspect that since, in the Khans trailer, that Sarkhan said he was "never born," there is reason to believe that Sarkhan is a paradox.
In New Tarkir, Sarkhan would have never existed since the bolded part of his name is outlawed. Plus, the new Zurgo never recognized Sarkhan. This leads me to believe that Sarkhan is a paradox, a product of the Old Tarkir, thus he ceased to exist in New Tarkir.
As for Narset, however, my guess is that she's a Jeskai-colored walker who found SHu Yun's scroll,s and her spark ignited when she was supposed to be executed. Or her spark ignited when Zurgo "killed" her in Old Tarkir.

SarSet or NarKhan...so hard to decide which shipping portmanteau is better...
February 25, 2015 1:17 p.m.
I think Sar-Set sounds way cooler and it flows better too. Just me, though.

I almost feel like the fanbase will riot if this ship sinks, haha.

I think that Sarkhan is a kindred spirit to Narset, but I have a feeling that new Narset will either not remember him OR narset will actually be old Narset after awakening her spark from Zurgo almost killing her.
Wouldn't that be a twist!

This UR is actually kind of sad. Sarkhan coming back to the "present" only to realize that there is nobody that remembers or even knows who he is. I feel like there will be more to come with Narset (next block maybe) and that the loss of her (so far) in the current timeline will bring us a reprinting of Sarkhan the Mad. Now this is all just blatant speculation, but seeing as there is only Ugin for Sarkhan to go to we will see what can be done for this poor man.

I think we can say with certainty that "Old" Narset died. It would make more sense why they included Ankle Shanker as still being alive despite being kill in "Old Tarkir." Considering they released new art for her she is certainly not dead, and is most likely going to be a Planeswalker.
But that does leave the question of who the other Planeswalker will be in the set? Will we just get another Sarkhan? Will Nicol Bolas rejoin the party? Has one of the dragons ascended? It's hard to say.

I want the other planeswalker to be Nahiri, looking for Ugin herself, but I know that won't happen.
February 25, 2015 2:42 p.m.
i recall wotc saying there will be a new 3 color walker. so i think Bolas can be ruled out.

swkelly89 - Someone asked Maro that this block would be a time to see a 3-color planeswalker, but he never said there will be a 3-color 'walker.

I'm pretty certain that it had to have been New Narset that was a heretic, otherwise the Ojutai/Jeskai would similarly not remember her. She likely either planeswalked away while being judged by Ojutai or, my pet theory, she ran away to the Atarka/Temur because they knew of a time before the Dragonlords. Also they, the Atarka, probably have some connection with the Dragonman/Sarkhan and Yasova's account of the Sarkhan was part of the scroll that Narset likely found.

And this is why f*cking with Time tends to be a Bad Idea. You really have to ask yourself if doing something for the greater good and sacrificing something personal (in this case, Sarkhan's own history) is worth the price. Hopefully it will be for Sarkhan, and we get more than just a "Ya done gone and fucked up, Sarkhan" from Ugin
Also, this is probably one of Magic's best stories to come out in a loooooooooooooooong time (SoM I understand was plain out depressing, though I guess Innistrad was decent)

What if the turn of events made it so that sarkhan was never born? Wouldn't that mean that the eldrazi were never released, or if they were released, were released by Tezzeret?

That's not how it works. Only events on Tarkir have changed. The rest of the multiverse is at it is. And Sarkhan is now a paradox on Tarkir in the DoT timeline.
