Anguished UnmakingWe’ve been to the plane of Innistrad a total of seven times: Innistrad block (2011), Shadows over Innistrad block (2016), Midnight Hunt (2021), and Crimson Vow (2021)… they’ve even released a special set of draft boosters featuring cards from the latter two sets… 🎃🦇🧛♀️🧛♂️🧟👻 Werewolves, Vampires, Zombies, and Ghosts… Innistrad is arguably the perfect plane of gothic horror goodness, with horror monsters from classic horror films are menacing humanity and who is going to protect them?
Created by Sorin Markov, Avacyn was tasked with protecting Innistrad, becoming the central figure of the Church of Avacyn, who gave the humanity of that plane the faith to fight for survival. After the events of the Shadows over Innistrad, Avacyn was unmade by Sorin…
Sorin had created Avacyn, so it was a cruelty beyond imagining, a pain beyond description, that it fell upon him to end her forever.
Now, without Avacyn’s protection, the humans have to turn to older, and perhaps darker forms of magic to stave off the onslaught of the different monsters of Innistrad.
If you’ve met me in the last 10 years of my life, you’ve probably thought of me as the “Dungeons & Dragons Guy.” But if you knew me in the 10 years prior to that, you’ve probably heard of me as the “Magic: The Gathering Guy.”
