“Ambrellin,” I say, my voice tipping right up to the threshold of politeness and into aggravation.Aha, he does summon wurms! But why would he need a chariot cab?.Hang on, a chariot cab converted into a wardrobe? What exactly did you do, Terrik?.Collapsing buildings, ‘wurm noises’… It could just be snoring, or Terrik could be the one who summons all those Selesnyan wurms.Finally, we get to hear about one of those interesting events! Terrik caused a building to collapse and killed two dozen people!.I don’t know why, but Ambrellin sounds right as a dryad name.Though since it’s the beginning of a story, I guess it sets a dark mood rather than turning dark.

I thought we were gonna get a crisis of faith, or being inducted into the Selesnyan conclave, but this took a dark turn.

Yikes, two lines already have a lot of baggage.Bound and Bonded seems more like a Rakdos title, but I don’t judge what you tree-huggers are into. I’m just gonna add this to the Non Sequitur Awards shortlist….I mean it was kinda expected of the Rakdos, but still….Well they weren’t kidding on that unsuitability.“Demon! Stealer of souls! Father of fornication!” – Azorius Bible Salesman.Also also, “Have you heard the good news about THE LAW?”.Which, let’s be honest, is needed in a cosmopolitan city. Also, more religions other than Selesnya and Orzhov.Who is this Azorius fool walking up, handing out pamphlets, calling people heathens? He’s probably gonna die horribly before the end of this story, but I don’t care: I’m already in love with him.Only a dozen people died? That barely counts as a cheer in the Rakdos….Do they mean literal son of the devil, or figuratively? This is a Rakdos story, so it could be either.Someone out there has better attire than Judith herself.Want a destructible model of a bloke? Bob’s Effigies is there for you! Third, if the Selesnyan story was named Bound and Bonded, just what will the actual Rakdos story entail…?.Really nailing down your priorities there, Wizards. Second, way to make the advertisement bigger than the disclaimer.First of all, I have incredibly high expectations for this story now.Parents, please note this story contains content that may be unsuitable for younger readers.
