Today, Wizards of the Coast has shared a summary of the story for the forthcoming Magic: The Gathering set Theros Beyond Death, revealing the nightmares that visited Elspeth in the Underworld, the conflicts of gods in the mortal realm, Klothys's efforts to stop Elspeth with Calix, and the downfall of Heliod.
You can read the whole summary on the official MTG website, but if you don't feel like reading the whole thing, you can check out the highlights via Redditor Gredman9 below:
I thought the story was a bit anti-climactic, and the most interesting part to me is this part: "Ashiok learned of the Phyrexians' existence and promptly planeswalked away to learn more of these true living nightmares."
This could lead to Ashiok teaming up with the villainous Phyrexians in a future storyline. Ashiok might be able to use nightmares to bring the Phyrexians to different planes like what happened with Elspeth's spear.
What do you think will happen when Ashiok finds the Phyrexians? Do you think we'll see them team-up in the story of near-future MTG sets? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
Theros Beyond Death, the 83rd Magic: The Gathering expansion, is set to release on January 24, 2020. Prerelease events will take place on January 17-19.
