With its own Eternal Masters spoiler card: Prodigal Sorcerer.

I am very glad that my prediction of there being stories relating to Eternal Masters proved to be true, and I am equally excited that this week's story took place on Dominaria and gave the story of one of the most iconic cards in the game.
When in Dominaria's timeline was this story set? If it was set after the Time Spiral block, then it would seem that the plane has recovered quite well, although it could just as easily be set before that block, or even before the Phyrexian invasion, since there was very little in the story to indicate when in the timeline it was occurring.
What happened to Enthril? Was his fate deliberately left ambiguous? And why did Boldt choose to not to go the Tolarian Academy? Did he decide that he could learn more by seeing the world than at the academy? I imagine that this is a one-shot story, but it certainly was a very nice example of passing the torch from an older generation to a new generation, and I am very glad to have read it.

Obviously, he turned himself in a skyship so Boldt could get away...
Also, since the Tolarian Academy exists, it has to be set after the Ice Age but before the Phyrexian invasion. The Academy didn't exist before Urza and Barrin founded it, and Barrin Obliterated it during the Invasion as a suicidal funeral pyre for Hanna. (But actually)

Aww, I liked that story. Not bad.
