    I am guessing the same thing that is affecting the other races is getting into the werewolves. I am still not sure what exactly is going on. However, from reading the articles. The first two offical articles describe village members and even avacyn herself have a tingling feeling on the back of their necks. That is exactly what avacyn was feeling before she went cray. Sounds very familiar to the card "skin invasion" even says in the flavor text about that feeling. Could some unknown parasite be burrowing into the races and affecting them? It was also pretty odd that both articles took place around a forest. The first one being the ulvenwald and the second being a forest avacyn rescued the child from. Just seems a bit strange...

      Magnifying glass more points to the oddities that have been seen in many other cards. Multiple eyes in "incorrigible youths" extra thumbs in "kessig forgemaster/flameheart werewolf" could possibly be a side affect of the "parasite" if thats what it is. Could be an Emrakul spawn indeed. I just find Emrakul hard to believe because it seems like Jace is being pointed out to the sea. With the tides going crazy is that something Emrakul would cause? The Onakke meaning the ogres? What makes you suspect them? I honestly have no clue what the culprit rather than Nahiri is. I want to say those parasites have something to do with everything. Or perhaps the moon is being pulled into innistrad by Nahiri? That would explain the tides changing. So many questions!

    The whole "terror from the deep" reminds me allot of both the fishing hamlet from the Bloodborne dlc, and ofcourse what inspired it...the HP lovecraft story. I forgot its name. Also, i really hope Nahiri isnt summoning Emrakul, but it more than likely is. It just makes sense. Lastly, werent all the werewolves healed from the cursemute? I though they all were either cured totally or became wolfir?

  • @tarvoc746
    @tarvoc746 8 лет назад

    It might be an interesting exercise to identify the werewolves in Shadow over Innistrad that are infected with this new kind of disease, as opposed to those who still have the old form of lycantropy. Here's my best guess for now:
    New lycantropes:
    Flameheart Werewolf (glows from the inside, has weird looking yellow spots all over his face that could be additional eyes still in growth - an also the extra thumbs)
    Lone Wolf of the Natterknolls (has weird blisters on his shoulder and also strange-looking skin slightly below his armpits)
    There might be others as well (I first thought about including Lambhold Butcher since his back hair looks weird), but I think these two are definitely "new" lycantropes. It should be noted that it's heavily implied that these two are lone wolves, while some of the more healthier looking werewolves (such as Gatstaf Ravagers or One of the Pack) still hunt in packs.

    @christopherknorr2895 8 лет назад +2

    Is anyone else getting the sense that there might be multiple causes for these occurences? For instance, Nahiri may only be responsible for the angel's madness, but I think that the chain veil might be behind the warping of the inhabitants of Innistrad. They're turning into Onakke. The Chain Veil is entering it's final stage.

  • @moxperidot1012
    @moxperidot1012 8 лет назад

    I came up with a theory just now, involving the tendrils' resemblance to Eldrazi limbs. What if Nahiri isn't harbinging a giant monster, but a massive change to the species of Innistrad. So, the Eldrazi are monsters that feed on mana to do... something. WotC never really stated what the Eldrazi need mana for. Nahiri's Cryptoliths bend and twist mana leylines, redirecting them forcibly to the Drownyard Temple (I have another theory on that). This obviously affects beings made entirely of mana, but how does mana effect, for lack of a better term, "solid" individuals? (beings not composed entirely of mana will be referred to as "solid" for this theory). Anyway, I theorize that stabile mana leylines play some important role in the biology of "solid" organisms, keeping their forms stabile and anchored to the plane. Perhaps, without the stabile leylines, "solid" forms become more difficult to maintain. This could potentially cause the "solid" form to become Eldrazi-like, with tendrils and extra eyes and such. Perhaps the Eldrazi feeding on mana is an attempt to keep their unstable forms as stable as possible. This could explain a possible origin for Ulamog, Kozilek, and Emrakul; as beings who, long ago, f**ked around with leylines and turn into Flying Spaghetti Monsters. This seems like a very fitting revenge for Nahiri. Sorin wasn't on her world helping to stave off the Eldrazi broods, so she won't help him stave off an army of new, fun-sized Eldrazi. Also, it's possibly that the Cryptoliths serve an additional purpose of keeping this new Eldrazi menace trapped on Innistrad.

    A "Briny smelling organ, made of tumorous unknown materiel?"
    Anyone else thinking Lovecraft influence here? It's yet again another reference to the sea and to these odd mutations we see in so many card arts thus far. My guess is that the fall of the/ or release of the Titans may have awoken other ancient beings across the multiverse, and what we are seeing is this beings influence on it's host plane.

  • @MsBluesMan95
    @MsBluesMan95 8 лет назад +2

    Alright guys here's my theory. What if we're seeing the after affects of the destruction of the two eldrazi Titans? Ugin said that there could be unseen consequences to the effects of killing the titans although he thought the effects wouldn't be seen for many generations. I mean ugin has been wrong before and these could be the more immediate effects on some of the planes

  • @Nikigettingbetter
    @Nikigettingbetter 8 лет назад

    Arlinn would hopefully be immune to the corruption, much like Karn, her spark should prevent something like that from happening. Karn only became corrupted by his core when he gave up his spark. It is possible that if the tendrils are connected to the eldrazi, however, that they could affect planeswalkers. Much of the laws that apply to how eldrazi work are an enigma to the members of the multiverse, perhaps they could through some means have the power to affect Arlinn, and, if so, what does that mean for planeswalkers everywhere?

Innistrad might actually be my favorite block, with the lore and the mechanics in general. Zendikar my second. But if they tied together?? I don't have the luck.

    it seems these tendrils can affect both organic and inorganic things. in my opinion, tendrils appear to be akin to some kind of infection, as it seems to affect the victim on an individual level than a whole race.

  • @jacobfoxall5633
    @jacobfoxall5633 8 лет назад

    Me and my friends don't really think it is the tentacle, but rather not the only thing that is corrupting them. These werewolves reside usual on Innistrad and transform during the full moon. What if this Eldritch moon is rather the true moon the werewolf's are changing into. Since Jace found out that Innistrad had a second moon, but for some reason is invisible to everybody, What if the moon everyone does see actually acts as to illuminate the second moon behind it causing these great changes. But what would happen if the Eldritch moon does not become invisible anymore? Would the curses and the corruption reach to beyond anyone could understand. That is my theory anyway. Oh and to add up to these corruption that is happen to them is maybe the Eldritch moon is somehow slowly become visible. As if a spell to suppress it is slowly disappearing by some unknown force.

    Didn`t Avacyn create the Wolfir from the werewolves to help them with their curse, but they had to relinquish their human side for this. That may explain why this one did not transform back to his human form upon death.
    Also the Wolfir have a connection to the moon as all werewolves, which may have something to do with all the madness going around. They also have a strong connection to Avacyn who helped them with their curse, which could also be affecting them through the link they have.
    Or it could be the other way around, all the problems come from the moon and the curse it brings and since Avacyn worked with the werewolves the curse spread through them to her. There is definitely something out there!

    • @AetherHub
      @AetherHub  8 лет назад

      the wolfir were created by avacyn yes, but not all werewolves accepted it. some refused and coninuted as normal. now I do think you may have a point, it not have turned back because it was a wolfir. in another story, a man completed cured by avacyn, not a wolfir but now just a normal man, turned back to the beast when avacyn went crazy. this could mean that the wolfir are now just as savage as werewolves without having a human side.

    PS: on the topic of "forever winter" i would really love to see a new plane, that actually is forever winter, ala Ice Age. Kinda like Innistrad's subtle nod to one of my favourite MTG sets/time period in Dominaria...The Dark!!!
    PPS: i miss Dominaria. Id love to see a modern set take place in Dominaria, brought up to "standards" maybe reprint some classic legendary characters, and/or create planeswalker cards from classic walkers, like Lord Windgrace!! I was so excited when i heard about Venser. I really wanna see Teferi rebranded as a PW, kinda like that one card they made of him. Only taking place in modern time, not a nod to the past. Teferi could really compete with Jace for the new token blue walker. Jace needs to go away for abit. Im tired of him showing up all the time!!!

      Good news is she isn't. There is a story of her and Jace being attacked by Avacyn and Sorin intervening, "unmaking" Avacyn in the process. So she is alive.
