I would call it more of a Car of Theseus, the engine, the power, the heart of it is still the same. THe angel just jump started it, the power was there, just dormant. With so much of the original ship having been destroyed and replaced/redone, is it truly still the ship that faced Phyrexia or is it just meant to appear like the original to give the denizens of Dominaria a well known legend to rally behind as they confront a force that wants to rewrite history? This makes it quite a bit like the Ship of Theseus thought experiment. We also witness the powerstone be restarted by Tiana, when it previously took collapsing an entire plane into it to give the ship the ability to travel the planes (prior to interplanar travel being made more difficult by the Mending). Jhoira scavenged what she could of the original, and replaced what was lost or irrevocably damaged with similar materials as were originally used. Quote from Melkor »That's stupid, Skysovereign should never be just overall better than the ship that went up against Phyrexia.ĭepends on whether you consider it to be the same ship or not. I don't understand why they do this to themselves. How does that make sense? Plus, New Phyrexia is one of if not the most iconic villains in the minds of the players, but as long as Creative insists on planeswalkers being the only ones who can planeswalk then that plot is dead in the water. In game, Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain can fight The Scarab God, but in story they cannot. It doesn't even make sense from the perspective of players not familiar with the story: you can put cards from two different planes in your deck in every format that exists, but in the story those two characters can never actually meet unless they are planeswalkers. They already have their own card type, so how much more special do they need to be? Insisting that all other forms of planar travel is now useless only serves to limit their storytelling abilities in pointless and objectively negative ways. They want planeswalkers to feel special? Fine. The only thing greater than my disappointment is my lack of surprise.
