He did. My question involved wondering if the fact that they may have downgraded Teferi from a 'Walker card to a Legendary creature card may have influenced the story. As you know, he had an alternate plan for getting Zahlfir back and sealing the rift before Radha screwed things up. Also, Bolas managed to escape the Mending with a Spark. If they had kept Teferi as a 'Walker card, he may have done better in the book. My secondary question was if there was a chance we'd see Teferi re-Sparked since he's basically an immortal time mage and there's at least one person on Dominaria (Radha) who has a Spark and isn't using it who would love to give it up if she could.
A) Jeska screwed things up. Because everything from Otaria is a poison.
B) Radha's spark was burnt out by Jeska using her as a mana lens to shoot the rifts. I don't see it coming back.

What happened to the inhabitants of both planes after Maralen brought Lorwyn and Shadowmoor together? How has the population adapted and changed, did the memories of both lives blur together or are people either completely as they were in lorwyn or completely as they were in shadowmoor?
Does creative ever plan to create epilogues for the blocks?

I like Newbies, they liven up the board.
… and then, the squirrels came.

Sorry to be one of those newbies. I did make sure to read the entire thread (well, skim through some of the discussions) before posting.
Thank you, Brady, for answering questions. I wish I'd known about this earlier, because I've been really upset about the lack of story coverage in AVR. The answer given earlier, about Avacyn's power being proportional to the needs of humanity, answers some of my complaints. I do still have a question about something in the story, though:
Avacyn was mortally wounded before she went into the Helvault, but when she came out she was perfectly healthy. How did that happen?
Also, one more question:
Is there active effort to find a White characteristic race (like Green's elves, Red's goblins, etc.) or is it canonically human?

I think we in the forums can actually answer both of those.
1. You ever skinned your knee, then the next day, its scabbed over?
Same concept with Avacyn. She took a year long nap.
She had a year to heal.
2. Technically, the most occuring 'tribal' type in white is soldiers, but that's a class not a race. Most of those soldiers are humans, so that makes humans the official white characteristic race.
R&D is well aware that this is incredibly awkward, since humans can and do show up in all five colors, but the white white works with emphasizing the community, that's how it is.
They are always on the lookout for different races. Leonin on Mirrodin, Kithkin on Lorwyn, and Kor on Zendikar well all experiments to find a better fit for a characteristic white race.

Not only that, but it's possible that she returned to a mana state to be stored in the Helvault. The only things that got tossed into it that we know of were mana based beings, so it seems likely that there wasn't a physical space attached to the Helvault, just the silver to act as an anchor for all that stored mana. She comes back, and she comes back in full form instead of damaged mana.

Not sure if it counts as canon, since the information was relayed from Mikaeus's perspective, but one of the articles on the site said that the Helvault is a sort of stasis, and that it was the reason her wound wasn't killing her. If that's the case, then the stasis should also theoretically prevent healing as well.

This was actually the direction I was leaning, but I saw an opportunity to get a canon answer, and couldn't help myself
