They then meet Ramos himself who agrees to give them the artifacts, but Volrath steals them and vanishes.

She retains no memories of her former life, and is given a new purpose- to determine the next evincar of Rath in Volrath's absence. An artifact called the Eye of Yawgmoth is implanted into her body through which Yawgmoth himself can observe this process.
Mogg Toady	Returning from his defeat at the hands of the Weatherlight, Greven discovers Ertai stowing away aboard the Predator, left behind on Rath after the events of Exodus. Greven orders his crew to kill the young mage, but after Ertai fends them off with magic, Greven decides instead to spare him and take him to the Stronghold for interrogation. He cautions Ertai to submit to the evincar if he wants to keep his life.
Ascendant Evincar	Crovax, now cursed as a vampire, awakens on Phyrexia and is tempted by the Phyrexians into submitting to Yawgmoth. He too is compleated, greatly increasing his strength and relieving him of his mortal conscience, turning him into a vicious killer. He sets his sights on the throne of the evincar, prepared to fight any who would challenge his claim.
Flowstone Surge	He also finds he can manipulate flowstone, the substance that comprises all of Rath, to his will.
Belbe's Armor	The Predator returns to the Stronghold, and Greven is relieved to find that Volrath is gone, having been aboard the Weatherlight (in the guise of Takara) when she fled Rath. When Crovax appears claiming to be the new evincar, Greven attacks him, but their fight is interrupted by the arrival of a figure in heavy armor. Removing the helmet, the figure shows herself to be Belbe, who reveals her position as an emissary of Phyrexia and arbiter of who will become the next evincar.
Rackling, Viseling	Greven tortures Ertai, attempting to extract information about the Weatherlight and her crew, but Ertai proves more resilient than anticipated.
Rejuvenation Chamber	Belbe visits Ertai, beaten and maimed, in the dungeon, and reveals to him that he too is being considered for the evincarship. She then takes him to Volrath's laboratory and uses a Phyrexian rejuvenation chamber to heal him. However, as time goes by he discovers that its effects are only temporary, and as he continues to use the device he finds that it is altering his body as well as his magic.
Stronghold Discipline	In a bid to prove his worthiness as evincar to Belbe, Crovax assumes control of the Stronghold's army and departs on a mission to the Skyshroud Forest crush Eladamri and his rebellion. His tyrannical command quickly makes him both hated and feared among his troops.
Reverent Silence	Meanwhile, the rebellion has grown much stronger, bolstered by their successful raid on the Stronghold. Eladamri's Skyshroud elves have joined with the forces of the Kor, Vec, and Dal, and together they begin preparations to seize the Stronghold once and for all. Despite this, he mourns the loss of his daughter.
Skyshroud Claim	While Crovax's army is on their way to Skyshroud, the rebel forces launch a surprise attack on their camp, killing over half the troops and routing the army.
Massacre	Defeated, Crovax returns to the Stronghold to find that Greven, Ertai, and Belbe have captured hostages from the leading families of the Kor, Vec, and Dal as insurance against a potential revolt upon Crovax's defeat. Ostensibly as a display of power, Crovax kills all the hostages, impaling them on flowstone spikes. However, they soon discover an ulterior motive behind Crovax's slaughter- he draws power from death itself, feeding on the life force of those he kills.
Stronghold Biologist, Stronghold Machinist	Ertai bides his time in the Stronghold, believing himself incapable of defeating Crovax for the title of evincar and pessimistic about Dominaria's chances against the might of Phyrexia in the coming war. However, he finds himself growing close to Belbe and begins trying to formulate a plan to escape with her.
Overlaid Terrain	As the Rathi Overlay draws nearer, parts of Rath's terrain begin to manifest on Dominaria. In a crisis of conscience, Belbe tampers with the Stronghold's flowstone generator in an attempt to sabotage the coming overlay.
Oracle's Attendants	Meanwhile, Eladamri meets with the Oracle en-Vec, who gives him two prophecies- first that his destiny lies in Stronghold, which he will enter in chains, and second that a door will be offered to him leading to "a land of light and color", which he must enter.
Sivvi's Ruse, Infiltrate	After he meets with the oracle, Eladamri decides he must infiltrate the Stronghold to destroy the Predator. He does this by disguising ten warriors, including the young Vec rebel Lin Sivvi, as Rathi soldiers, who successfully deceive the Stronghold guards and bring him before Belbe. He recognizes the being who was once his daughter and flies into a rage, attacking her and scorning her as an abomination, before being taken to the dungeon.
Accumulated Knowledge	After enduring a harsh interrogation by Greven, Eladamri manages to escape and finds the real Takara imprisoned nearby. Freeing her, they retreat to the evincar's map room, where Takara explains what she knows of the Phyrexians' plans.
Sivvi's Valor, Off Balance, Lashknife	Meanwhile, Lin Sivvi and the other rebels attempt to destroy the Predator, but are discovered and raise the Stronghold's alarms. They are forced to abandon their mission and fight their way through the Stronghold, eventually meeting up with Eladamri and Takara.
Dominate	Unbeknownst to anyone, Volrath has secretly returned to the Stronghold from Mercadia under the guise of a Kor spy. Crovax has staged a coup and taken Ertai captive to secure his position as evincar, and shortly before the coronation ceremony, Volrath reveals himself to Greven and drafts him into his plan to retake the throne.
Vicious Hunger, Dark Triumph	Volrath interrupts Crovax's coronation, and Belbe declares that the evincar will be decided by combat. Though Volrath initially has the upper hand, Crovax can replenish his strength by killing the assembled courtiers. Seeing this, Ertai realizes that Crovax will inevitably win, so he uses magic to throw Volrath off-balance at a critical moment and allow Crovax to defeat him.
Belbe's Portal	Belbe meets the rebels in the Dream Halls, revealing to them that she has hidden a planar portal there and wants to help them escape. As Crovax and his soldiers batter down the doors, Takara and Lin Sivvi escape through the portal to Dominaria. Before going through himself, Eladamri uses the remainder of the poison that killed Avila to kill her again as Belbe, seeing it as a mercy.
Topple	With Crovax now firmly installed as evincar of Rath, he punishes Greven for his role in Volrath's return and spares Ertai's life for his role in his downfall. Devastated by Belbe's death, Ertai allows himself to be altered with Phyrexian technology and resigns himself to a life of servitude. Volrath is publicly executed- he is injected with flowstone, and at Ertai's command, it disassembles, tearing his body apart. As he dies, he sees the blue skies of Dominaria begin to replace the gray skies of Rath.

Prophecy

Cards	Scene
Latulla, Keldon Overseer	In Jamuraa, Keldon raiding parties have started attacking and capturing settlements and military outposts. Haddad, a soldier of the Ki'pamu League stationed in northern Jamuraa, is captured by one such raiding party and brought before their leader, the warlord Latulla. Instead of killing him, she takes him as a slave, as he has valuable knowledge of the League's war machines.
Keldon Battlewagon, Overburden	Latulla's convoy of war barges travels across Jamuraa, stopping first at a bog to inspect a Keldon mining operation. They are extracting tufa, a substance the Keldons use to fuel their barges and which they believe to be the spilled blood of their ancestors, thus giving them claim to the land. The convoy moves on and eventually reaches a port where Keldon reinforcements are arriving, having been placed in a deathlike stasis for their long sea journey. Haddad and another slave plan an escape, but before they can put their plan into action, Latulla places Haddad himself into stasis on a ship bound for Keld.
Alexi, Zephyr Mage, Windscouter	Meanwhile, Barrin is in Jamuraa to consult with Teferi, who has since become a planeswalker, about the Keldon raids. After their meeting aboard Teferi's airship the Hunter, Barrin surveys the construction of an airbase from which to patrol and launch counterattacks. After receiving a distress call, he joins forces with the League soldiers and the spellshaper Alexi to defend the port town of Kitani from the Keldons, and later they stop a Keldon naval ambush of a League supply convoy. Upon his return to the airbase, Barrin's wife Rayne arrives from Tolaria, reporting that Urza can spare only minimal resources to assist them in the fight against the Keldons.
Jolrael, Empress of Beasts, Thresher Beast	Teferi introduces Rayne and her assistant Shalanda to the Zhalfirin mage Jolrael, and the three set out to gather intelligence on the Keldons' activities in the East. They follow a party of Keldons into a forest and witness them fall victim to a trap set by a Thresher Beast, finally managing to kill the beast and capture a single Keldon warrior. Jolrael mentions that she was unable to use her magic to control the beast or draw power from the forest, as though the land and its creatures are somehow tainted.
Inflame	During interrogation, the prisoner asserts the belief that the prophesied Keldon Twilight, during which the ancient Keldon witch kings will return from the dead and lead the Keldons in the conquest of all of Dominaria, is at hand. He then breaks free of his captivity, killing many League guards and nearly Rayne herself before Barrin intervenes and saves her.
Mageta the Lion, Hollow Warrior	On the eve of battle against the main Keldon force, Barrin surveys the League's war machines with the general Mageta at their army camp, discovering with some concern that the army relies almost exclusively on these machines instead of human troops. Once the battle begins, the machines perform well at first, but the Keldons are ultimately able to exploit their weaknesses and claim victory, with Barrin only able to buy the remaining League soldiers enough time to retreat.
Citadel of Pain	Haddad awakens in one of Latulla's houses in Keld, finding that he has a metal bracelet bound to his arm that the Keldons can use to cause him pain and force him to do their bidding, and is ordered to build one of the League's war machines for the Keldon army.
Greel, Mind Raker, Greel's Caress	One night, Haddad secretly observes a meeting between a Keldon woman named Erissa and an apparent child named Greel. However, upon Erissa producing an infant from her cloak, Greel seemingly consumes its life force, growing larger and more mature in appearance after doing so. Over the next days, Haddad witnesses Greel similarly suck the life out of other Keldon soldiers and grow into a monstrous creature.
Latulla's Orders	Latulla returns from Jamuraa with the news that they will travel for the Keldon Necropolis the next day, to revive the witch kings and fulfill the prophecy herself. Upon their arrival, the Necropolis' steward Gorsha rejects Latulla's claim, ultimately defeating her in combat and sentencing her to eternal exile from Keld.
Despoil, Noxious Field, Outbreak	After their defeat, the League army falls back to Arsenal City in the West to prepare defenses for the inevitable Keldon advance. Meanwhile, Rayne and Shalanda scout outside the city to try to discover the source of the strange blight that is now spreading across the land and starting to infect League soldiers. While they initially believe the contagion to be the work of the Keldons, they eventually discover that the spores it produces have a mechanical component, suggesting that it may not have originated on Dominaria at all.
Mageta's Boon, Reveille Squad	The Keldons attack Arsenal City. Mageta fearlessly leads his soldiers against them, holding them off with the help of Barrin, Rayne, Alexi, and Teferi, and eventually forcing them to retreat. After the battle, Teferi musters his formidable power as a planeswalker and conjures a great storm, destroying the Keldon army's base of operations in Jamuraa.
Brutal Suppression, Steal Strength	Angered by the events at the Necropolis and the news of the defeat at Arsenal City, Latulla plans to take control of the remaining Keldon army in Jamuraa, still determined to bring about the Keldon Twilight. Her convoy moves to rendezvous with the defeated Keldons, using Greel's dark power to siphon the life of her slaves. As the League forces close in, Haddad attempts to escape once more, but he is crippled by the bracelet on his arm and taunted by Greel.
Devastate, Flay	Latulla plays her final trump card, unleashing a devastating energy weapon from her barge that she had been holding in reserve. The weapon disables the League's machines and kills many of their soldiers, but Mageta rallies his remaining troops and pushes back against the Keldon assault. Meanwhile, as the battle rages around her, Rayne traces a concentration of the blight to Greel, who viciously attacks her. She endures the attack and fights back, but at that moment Barrin commands Alexi's airships to bomb the Keldon convoy, and one of the resulting explosions wounds Rayne and throws her to the ground, allowing Greel to kill her.
Heightened Awareness	Surveying the battlefield, Barrin discovers Rayne's decapitated body and flies into a rage, killing Greel by using a spell to disassemble his body and unleashing a torrent of powerful magic to decimate the Keldon army. Latulla's barge is overturned and Barrin finds her trapped underneath, killing her without hesitation. The war won, Barrin coldly orders that no quarter be given to the remaining Keldons in Jamuraa. Meanwhile, Haddad lies paralyzed on the battlefield, his bracelet sending waves of agony through his body. Shalanda finds him and attempts to dismantle it, but when she does, the device violently expels a series of wires it had embedded into Haddad's body, killing him and putting Shalanda into a coma. Sometime later, Teferi returns to his island, reflecting on the cost of the war and the coming Phyrexian invasion, and vowing to face it his way rather than blindly following Urza.

Invasion

Cards	Scene
Opt, Fact or Fiction, Worldly Counsel	Upon their return from Mercadia, the crew of the Weatherlight makes for Gerrard's homeland of Benalia, but attempts to planeshift there find them hundreds of miles off-course. Hanna and the crew scour navigational charts and instruments, eventually discovering the cause- spatial distortions caused by massive portal ships that are flooding the skies of Dominaria with Phyrexian forces. The Phyrexian Invasion has begun.
Zap, Hanna, Ship's Navigator, Restrain	The Weatherlight engages, shooting down as many Phyrexian ships as they can. They fly through one of the portals to Rath, and are shocked to observe untold numbers of Phyrexian troops waiting below, more than could ever be brought through the portals. While out on the deck repairing a disabled cannon, Hanna is struck by shrapnel from a Phyrexian plague bomb bursting overhead but does not seem to be seriously injured. They return to Dominaria via another portal ship, destroying it in the process, and set a course for Benalia City.
Rewards of Diversity, Well-Laid Plans, Death or Glory, Tower Drake	Elsewhere in Benalia, Urza and Barrin repel the invaders alongside allies from across Dominaria, which Urza collectively dubs the Coalition. As his contribution to this coalition, Urza deploys the armies of Metathran bred during his Bloodline Project.
Blind Seer, Seer's Vision, Harsh Judgment, Shackles	Upon reaching Benalia City, the crew encounters a seemingly mad blind man preaching doom at their landing site. Gerrard attempts to add legitimacy to the man's claims, warning the guard about the coming invasion, but they pay him no heed and he is immediately arrested for desertion. He is taken to the army's barracks to be detained along with the blind seer and the rest of the crew.
Yawgmoth's Agenda, Tsabo Tavoc, Tsabo's Decree	A host of Phyrexians soon descend on Benalia City, quickly overwhelming the guard and storming the barracks. The crew briefly manages to hold them off, but soon finds themselves facing the spiderlike Phyrexian general Tsabo Tavoc, who plans to personally deliver them to Yawgmoth. Just as it seems she has them cornered, Karn fires upon the prison from the Weatherlight, allowing the crew to escape to the ship with the blind seer in tow.
Fight or Flight, Reckless Assault, Rout, Global Ruin	Despite a fierce offensive against the Phyrexian fleet by the Weatherlight, the Phyrexian forces raze Benalia City, killing everyone including the chief of Clan Capashen, Raddeus. After another perilous encounter with Tsabo Tavoc, Gerrard reluctantly agrees to retreat.
Exclude, Disrupt	Urza travels to Zhalfir to enlist its people into the fight, where he finds Teferi defending his homeland from the Phyrexian assault. Together, they enact a plan by Teferi to disable the portal ships via the temporal and spatial distortions created by planeswalking.
Teferi's Moat, Teferi's Care, Teferi's Response	Having siphoned off the immense amount of energy created during this process, Teferi channels it into a great spell- in moments, he phases the entire subcontinent of Zhalfir out of reality, leaving only the empty ocean in its wake. Urza disapproves, but Teferi asserts that Urza saw his people as nothing more than pawns to be sacrificed, and that this was his way of sparing them from that fate.
Winnow	At the blind seer's suggestion, the Weatherlight travels to the Atrivak Mounds, a Benalish penal colony, to recruit the military prisoners there to their cause. Gerrard pretends to have been sent by Chief Raddeus, but the warden sees through this ruse and the crew is forced to fight their way in to free the prisoners.
Prison Barricade, Liberate	Shortly after the Weatherlight's arrival, the prison is attacked by Tsabo Tavoc's forces. Though hundreds of the prisoners die in the fighting, the crew manages to rescue hundreds more aboard the ship, and once again narrowly escapes Tsabo's clutches.
Fertile Ground, Plague Spores, Spreading Plague, Vile Consumption	In Yavimaya, Multani feels the forest and its life becoming corrupted by the Phyrexian plague that is quickly spreading across all of Dominaria.
Canopy Surge, Saproling Infestation, Aura Mutation	The Phyrexians attack Yavimaya, and Multani offers a prayer to Gaea, which is soon answered by the forest itself rising to repel the invaders. Elves, saprolings, treefolk, and all the rest of Yavimaya's creatures band together with Multani to fight.
Kavu Lair, Kavu Climber, Fires of Yavimaya	Despite their fierce resistance, the Yavimayan forces soon realize they fight a losing battle. However, just when it seems all hope is lost, new allies in the thousands surge forth from the ground itself. They are the Kavu, a race of primeval lizards that had lain in wait for millennia beneath Yavimaya, called forth by Gaea in their time of need.
Aura Shards, Tangle	Multani also revives the oldest magnigoth tree in the forest, the Heart of Yavimaya, whose powerful magic turns many of the Phyrexians into wooden soldiers of Gaea. These events finally turn the tide of the battle, and together the Yavimayans decimate the Phyrexian forces and drive them out of the forest.
Scouting Trek, Llanowar Vanguard, Elfhame Palace	After the victory in Yavimaya, Multani travels to Llanowar to meet Eladamri, who has been spreading knowledge of the Phyrexians alongside Lin Sivvi and Takara since their arrival from Rath. Eladamri has come to be revered as a prophet amongst the peoples of Llanowar, who call him the "Seed of Freyalise". He travels to the royal palace in the elfhame of Staprion, attempting to convince the king to evacuate his people to protect them from the coming invasion, but his pleas fall on deaf ears.
Molimo, Maro-Sorcerer, Sterling Grove, Artifact Mutation	On his arrival in Llanowar, Multani communes with the local Maro-Sorcerer Molimo, who grants Multani passage through his forest and eventually aids him in battle.
Restock	No sooner has Multani arrived than a multitude of portals open in the sky above Llanowar and begin dropping plague bombs. Eladamri and the others do what they can to lead the elves to safety and mount a counteroffensive. Takara is revealed to have been dying of the Phyrexian plague ever since her rescue from the Stronghold, and sacrifices her life trying to rescue victims of the attack.
Elfhame Sanctuary, Tranquility	Eladamri leads the elves into the Dreaming Caves, a sacred grotto suffused with green mana beneath the roots of Llanowar, where thoughts and dreams can manifest in reality. He inspires them with songs of hope and visions of a Llanowar free of strife, and the sick and wounded begin to heal.
Bend or Break, Scorching Lava	Barrin and Urza travel to Shiv to secure the Thran Mana Rig, which is under attack by Phyrexian forces. Once they get there, however, they find the Rig more than capable of defending itself, blasting the Phyrexians out of the sky with great columns of lava and splitting itself in two when under attack, with one section mobilizing on mechanical legs into a walking fortress.
Ghitu Fire, Temporal Distortion, Darigaaz, the Igniter, Tectonic Instability	They meet with Jhoira, Teferi, and the dragon Darigaaz on the Mana Rig, where Jhoira and Teferi inform them of their intent to protect Shiv from the invasion the same way Teferi did Zhalfir- by phasing it out. Urza is furious about losing yet more resources for his war, but he can do nothing to stop them and is forced to withdraw with Barrin, Darigaaz, and the mobile section of the Rig as the rest of Shiv disappears.
Reviving Vapors	Reappearing after an unexplained absence, the blind seer directs the Weatherlight to Llanowar to assist Eladamri. On board, Hanna has developed a progressively worsening sickness. The crew soon realizes that the wound she received shortly after their arrival in Dominaria has infected her with the plague, for which there is no cure. Nevertheless, Orim vows to find one and save her.
Distorting Wake	Still determined to help, the gravely ill Hanna tries to find a way to stop the bombings. Orim reminds her that the Weatherlight's planeshifting creates a powerful slipstream, and she has Sisay planeshift to Rath, pulling the portals along with them and causing the bombs to drop on the Phyrexian armies there.
Protective Sphere, Desperate Research	Finally succumbing to the effects of the plague, Hanna collapses. As the Weatherlight fights her way through the skies of Rath, Orim realizes that she may be able to create a cure from the blood of the Phyrexians themselves, as they alone are immune to the plague's effects. She uses the ship's anchor to kill a few Phyrexian soldiers and collect their bodies, and the Weatherlight planeshifts back to Dominaria.
Heroes' Reunion	Gerrard and the crew descend into Llanowar, and they meet Eladamri, Multani, and the newly hale elves returning from the Dreaming Caves. Together, they drive the rest of the Phyrexians from Llanowar, liberating the forest at last.
Orim's Touch	Orim has managed to synthesize an immunity serum from the Phyrexians' blood and uses it to protect Llanowar from the effects of the plague. However, it is too late for Hanna, whose condition has worsened considerably. In a last-ditch effort to save her, she is taken to the Dreaming Caves to be healed as the elves were, but she is deep in a coma and thus cannot dream.
Sky Weaver, Wings of Hope, Metathran Aerostat, Metathran Transport	Urza's army of Metathran arrives outside the Caves of Koilos, where Tsabo Tavoc now commands the main Phyrexian ground force, and where the ancient gate to Phyrexia stands open. At the head of this army are Thaddeus and Agnate, two telepathically linked Metathran commanders bred by Urza to be superior in body and mind.
Prohibit, Chaotic Strike, Spinal Embrace, Metathran Zombie	The battle at Koilos commences with intense fighting, and heavy casualties are incurred on both sides. However, it soon becomes apparent that the Phyrexians have a secret weapon- mechanical centipedes that burrow into their victims, replacing their spines and transforming them into Phyrexian zombies, turning the Metathran against themselves.
Phyrexian Altar, Lobotomy, Probe	While Agnate's forces struggle to hold their ground against the Phyrexians, Thaddeus' forces make swift progress through their lines, advancing into the caves and making for the portal room. Thaddeus realizes too late that he has been drawn into a trap- Tsabo Tavoc allowed him and his soldiers through, and having now isolated him, she easily overpowers him. When he awakens, he finds himself being vivisected as she appraises his physiology in front of an assemblage of Phyrexian vat priests, helpless to resist.
Tsabo's Web	The Weatherlight arrives at Koilos, and after proving his worth to Agnate, Eladamri takes Thaddeus' place as commander. On board the ship, the blind seer's magic briefly awakens the dying Hanna one last time, allowing her to say goodbye to Gerrard before passing away. Gerrard swears vengeance against Tsabo Tavoc, blaming her for Hanna's death. Within the caves, Tsabo senses Gerrard's anger, preparing to draw him into her trap just as she had Thaddeus.
Power Armor, Pledge of Loyalty, Holy Day	Urza begins the next phase of his plan, gathering eight planeswalkers from across Dominaria- Taysir of Rabiah, Daria, Kristina of the Woods, Freyalise, Bo Levar, Commodore Guff, Tevesh Szat, and Lord Windgrace. Together with himself, Urza christens the group the Nine Titans and takes them to Tolaria. There, he has stored suits of mechanical armor, dubbed Titan Engines, which he has outfitted with heavy weaponry and built to withstand the harsh atmosphere of Phyrexia. He has them train with the machines inside a fast time rift, preparing them for the battle at Koilos, and from there the final assault on Phyrexia itself.
Barrin's Unmaking	At Urza's insistence, Barrin travels to Urborg to liberate the isle from the Phyrexians. Alongside an army of Coalition allies, Barrin mounts a fierce attack, but in the end, the Phyrexians prove too numerous and he is forced to retreat.
Psychic Battle, Mourning	Barrin goes to Koilos to ask Urza for reinforcements, but Urza has none to spare, having committed all his forces to this battle. A disappointed Barrin announces his intention to speak with his daughter on the Weatherlight, but Urza informs him that Hanna died days ago and that Barrin was not informed because Urborg was too important. Aghast, Barrin condemns Urza, realizing that his devotion to the planeswalker and his cause has cost him everything he loved.
Recover, Crown of Flames, Barrin's Spite, Obliterate	Barrin exhumes Hanna's body, buried nearby by her crewmates, and transports it to Rayne's tomb in Tolaria, which is now overrun by Phyrexian forces. He buries her beside her mother, then in a final act of retribution casts the same spell that Urza used to detonate the Golgothian Sylex millennia ago, completely obliterating Tolaria, the attacking Phyrexians, and himself.
Do or Die, Savage Offensive, Strength of Unity, Annihilate, Backlash, Breath of Darigaaz	The battle at Koilos rages on, with Coalition armies from every nation of Dominaria joining in the fight. Gerrard, Eladamri, and Agnate lead the charge into the caves, carving a path through the Phyrexian legions. Aiding them from the skies are Sisay on the Weatherlight and Darigaaz's dragons, who assail the enemy with cannon fire and dragonfire alike.
Searing Rays, Urza's Rage, Void	Despite this, the Phyrexians' sheer numbers seem certain to overwhelm the Coalition forces, but the tides are turned when the Urza and the Titans arrive in their engines and lay waste to the Phyrexian ranks. The Phyrexians deploy their fearsome Witch Engines in response, but with the Weatherlight's support, these too are dispatched.
Maniacal Rage, Stun, Chromatic Sphere	Pressing onward into the caves, Gerrard and the crew fight their way through hordes of Phyrexians, making for the portal room to confront Tsabo Tavoc. Agnate finally re-establishes telepathic contact with Thaddeus, but Thaddeus warns him not to seek him out. Ignoring him, Agnate finds Thaddeus flayed open and barely alive, and reluctantly kills him to end his suffering.
Dueling Grounds	Deep within the caves, Tsabo springs her trap, separating Gerrard from the rest of the crew. Consumed by hate, he attacks her with reckless abandon, allowing her to easily outmaneuver and capture him.
Soul Burn	In the portal room, the rest of the crew battles vainly against an endless stream of soldiers pouring in from Phyrexia. Tsabo approaches the gate with Gerrard firmly in her grasp, bound for Yawgmoth to deliver her prize. Before she can reach it, the crew fights their way through to her, halting her advance long enough for Squee to deliver a sword to Gerrard. He stabs her, seriously wounding her and forcing her to flee through the portal.
Dismantling Blow	The blind seer appears, revealing himself to have been Urza in disguise. He and Gerrard destroy the portal mechanism, finally closing the Phyrexian gate at Koilos forever. He identifies himself as Gerrard's creator and that of the Legacy, to which Gerrard responds that while he'll fight Urza's war, he hates him, for the planeswalker's design has caused him nothing but pain.
Coalition Victory	With the Battle of Koilos won and the Phyrexian invasion seemingly halted, the Coalition rejoices, with a great feast being held aboard the Weatherlight. While the others celebrate, Gerrard, Urza, Eladamri, and Agnate stand solemnly apart, mourning the dead and reflecting on the cost of their victory.

Planeshift

Cards	Scene
Planar Overlay, Destructive Flow, Sunken Hope	Mere days after the victory at Koilos, vast regions of Rath's landscape are suddenly overlaid onto Dominaria, transporting innumerable hordes of Phyrexian soldiers onto the plane and signaling the second phase of the invasion. From within his Titan Engine, Urza planeswalks the Coalition army away from Koilos and out of danger, then does the same for himself and the Weatherlight, taking the ship to Urborg.
Heroic Defiance	Upon their arrival, Urza and the Weatherlight crew find the island swarming with Phyrexians, with the main concentration centered on Crovax's childhood estate. Gerrard realizes they are using it as a place of worship, contemplating just how powerful Crovax has become.
Diabolic Intent	Meanwhile, Tsabo Tavoc appears before Crovax himself within the Stronghold, which has been overlaid elsewhere in Urborg. Trapping her legs with flowstone, the evincar castigates her for her defeat at Koilos, then cruelly tears her limb from limb and devours her.
Skyshroud Blessing, Planeswalker's Favor	Freyalise planeswalks Eladamri, Lin Sivvi, and the rest of the elves at Koilos away from the battleground and into the frozen reaches of Keld. Eladamri soon realizes that this is where his homeland of Skyshroud was deposited during the overlay and reunites with his people, beseeching Freyalise to bestow the same magic upon this forest that she once did upon the whole of Dominaria and protect it from the harsh environment. She grants his request but warns him that she cannot protect the forest from the Phyrexians, and suggests he ally with the Keldons to do so himself.
Malicious Advice	Meanwhile, Darigaaz and the dragon nations are planeswalked to Shiv by Tevesh Szat. Though much of the island was phased out by Teferi, some landmasses remain, with Darigaaz's home among them. Szat leads the dragons into a volcanic chamber where a great stone monument lies destroyed by the Phyrexians. He explains that this was the resting place of one of the Primeval Dragons, five powerful dragons that ruled over all of Dominaria in ancient times. Szat persuades Darigaaz to exert his power over the dragon nations and command them to reawaken the other four Primevals, which he promises will not only eradicate the Phyrexians but usher in a new age where dragons are once again the dominant species.
Daring Leap, Lord of the Undead, Sinister Strength, Dralnu's Crusade	While the Weatherlight fights in the skies of Urborg, Agnate and his army of Metathran fight on the ground, waging a guerrilla war against the occupying Phyrexians. Their advance is halted when they find themselves trapped in quicksand, but they are rescued by the lich lord Dralnu and his undead soldiers. Despite his misgivings about allying with a lich, Agnate accepts Dralnu's aid, sealing the union in a ritual foot-washing ceremony.
Rith's Grove, Nemata, Grove Guardian, Magnigoth Treefolk	Darigaaz and the dragons arrive in Yavimaya to awaken the green Primeval Dragon Rith, who is sealed within a great magnigoth tree. Darigaaz reluctantly kills one of the dragons under his command after being challenged, and this sacrifice awakens Rith, who leads the dragons onward to awaken the rest of her kin. After they depart, the magnigoth itself awakens- this is no mere tree but is in fact Nemata, an ancient treefolk tasked with keeping Rith sealed away. His branches laden with Kavu, Nemata sets off in pursuit of the dragons to reclaim Rith, with many more magnigoth treefolk following in his wake.
Eladamri's Call	After proving his prowess in combat, Eladamri allies with the Keldons, and together the two armies set off for the Keldon Necropolis high in the mountains.
Lashknife Barrier, Keldon Twilight	They climb to a great glacier beneath the Necropolis to find a waiting army of Phyrexians, and quickly move to defend the holy site. A great battle ensues, during which the honored dead of Keld emerge resurrected from the Necropolis as foretold in the Twilight prophecy. The Keldons' joy at this development is short-lived, however- instead of leading them in glorious battle, the undead warriors join ranks with the Phyrexians to slay their living kin.
Aura Blast, Primal Growth, Planeswalker's Mirth, Planeswalker's Mischief, Planeswalker's Fury, Hobble, Implode	The Nine Titans arrive on Phyrexia, ready to enact Urza's plan to raid a munitions depot on the second sphere, then use Phyrexia's own warheads to destroy the third sphere's support structures. The operation is a success, but is not without sacrifice- while fighting one of the mechanical creatures guarding the facility, Kristina is forced to exit her Titan Engine, and is killed by a blast of fire and corruption from Tevesh Szat. Taysir attacks Szat in a rage, who maintains that the fault was Kristina's for getting in his way.
Tahngarth, Talruum Hero	On seeing the Metathran army losing ground in Urborg, the Weatherlight planeshifts to Tahngarth's homeland of Talruum in the hopes of recruiting the minotaur warriors there for the battle, only to find that the mountains were phased out with the rest of Zhalfir. Planeshifting instead to the other minotaur nation of Hurloon, they find the city of Kaldroom in ruins, and hundreds of its warriors sedated in preparation for the same conversion process that had disfigured Tahngarth. Furious, Tahngarth reduces the Phyrexian base to rubble from the Weatherlight and rescues the minotaurs, fighting off their captors and carrying them aboard the ship.
Sisay's Ingenuity	With more Phyrexians closing in and the Weatherlight weighed down by her new occupants, Sisay is forced to attempt a planeshift without taking off, a maneuver that nearly destroys the ship.
Multani's Harmony, Gaea's Might	The Weatherlight arrives in Yavimaya, and Multani has Sisay aim for the boughs of the towering Heart of Yavimaya, identifying the magnigoth tree as the origin of the ship's living hull. Multani transfers his body out of the Weatherlight and into the tree, maneuvering it to catch the ship and ease her down among the branches.
Orim's Chant	As Multani and Karn work to repair the Weatherlight, Orim revives the rescued minotaurs, who bow in respect before Tahngarth for saving their lives.
Forsaken City, Treva's Ruins	Continuing in their quest to awaken the Primevals, Darigaaz and the dragons arrive in New Argive to find the capital razed to the ground. Rith leads them to the ruins of a great library, informing Darigaaz that Treva, the white Primeval, lies buried beneath it. When they uncover the chamber where Treva is imprisoned, Rith directs the lords of the dragon nations to channel the magic of their homelands, which she will use to awaken Treva. When they do, however, Rith's spell draws an intense torrent of magic through them, burning the four dragon lords away to nothing. Darigaaz is initially appalled by this, but when Treva awakens he is filled with a sense of primal power which quells the doubt within him, and the three lead the remaining dragons onward.
Planeswalker's Scorn	On Phyrexia's third sphere, the Titans have split up to plant the bombs taken from the munitions depot. After Daria plants one such bomb on one of the sphere's support columns, she is suddenly attacked by Tevesh Szat, who overpowers and kills her.
Confound, Dark Suspicions	When the planeswalkers reconvene, Urza initiates a "kill rubric" in Szat's Titan Engine that immobilizes the draconic planeswalker and absorbs his essence, ultimately killing him. Urza explains to Taysir's horror that he already knows Szat has killed his adopted daughter, and that he had expected him to betray the Titans from the beginning. When pressed, Urza reveals that he has developed his own bombs that are immensely more powerful than those of Phyrexia, and that it is these "soul bombs" that they will use to destroy the remaining spheres. However, they use the souls of living beings as a power source, and it is only now after Szat's inevitable betrayal that Urza feels he has sufficient moral grounds to take the planeswalker's life, and thus use his soul to charge the weapons.
Slay	At the Necropolis, the Keldons despair upon seeing their prophecy so profanely twisted against them, and the army falters against the combined might of the Phyrexians and the Keldon dead. However, when a sacred cudgel wielded by a Keldon warlord strikes one of the undead warriors, it brings the true Keldon Twilight to bear- the artifact responds to the blasphemy by causing a volcanic eruption that collapses the glacier beneath them and consumes the armies in a raging whirlpool.
Keldon Mantle	Eladmari and Lin Sivvi resign themselves to death, but they and many others are saved after the sudden appearance of the Golden Argosy, the legendary ship prophesied to carry the heroes of Keld to their final victory.
Allied Strategies, Maggot Carrier, Exotic Disease	The Weatherlight returns to Urborg with the minotaur warriors in tow, and the newly-reinforced army wages a successful campaign against the Phyrexian ground forces. However, Agnate has fallen deathly ill, his body consumed by a progressively worsening blight that he initially believes to be the Phyrexian plague. The minotaur commander Grizzlegom, wary of fighting alongside Dralnu and his undead soldiers, suspects that it was the lich lord that inflicted Agnate with this disease so that he could later reanimate his corpse and take control of the army. Recalling that the contagion spread from his feet after Dralnu's ritual, Agnate realizes he has been betrayed and entrusts his forces to Grizzlegom, on the condition that the minotaur kill him before he can be reanimated. Grizzlegom reluctantly honors this request, then rallies the Metathran who assassinate Dralnu and join with the minotaurs to slay his undead soldiers.
Strafe, Gerrard's Command	Meanwhile, the Weatherlight makes for the Stronghold to confront Crovax, but on her approach the Predator rises from the fortified volcano and engages the Weatherlight once again in combat. This time, however, the Weatherlight gains the upper hand after cleaving through the Predator's hull with her metal keel. Before the two ships can separate, Greven il-Vec emerges and boards the Weatherlight, sending his crew to take the bridge while he remains on the deck to settle the score with Tahngarth.
Hull Breach	Tahngarth and Greven engage in a bloody duel, during which Tahngarth discovers that Crovax has taken total control of Greven through his mimetic spine. In the end, Tahngarth emerges the victor over his former tormentor, killing Greven and throwing his body overboard while the rest of the crew dispatches their attackers and destroys what remains of the Predator, sending it plummeting into the Stronghold below.
Dromar's Cavern, Insolence	Darigaaz and the other dragons travel next to an undersea cavern deep beneath the ruins of Vodalia, where the blue Primeval Dromar lies sleeping. When they reach it, they are set upon by a vicious horde of undead merfolk guarding the entrance, and the other Primevals encourage Darigaaz to continue onward and leave the other dragons to their fate. Darigaaz resists them, loathe to sacrifice yet more of the dragons under his command, but ultimately acquiesces and follows them to Dromar's resting place. They find Dromar atop a horde of gems and gold, unwilling to join them until the other Primevals destroy his treasure and convince him to reclaim his birthright as a ruler of Dominaria.
Gainsay	As they descend deeper into Phyrexia, the remaining Titans plant the soul bombs on the critical structures of each sphere while Urza himself prepares the master bomb that will trigger their detonation and collapse the plane. However, after beholding what he perceives as the mechanical perfection of Phyrexia, Urza begins to question his mission to destroy it. After Bo Levar confronts him about this, Urza becomes convinced that the Titans will betray him, and his mind is soon clouded with doubt and resentment toward his comrades, his legacy of opposing Phyrexia, and even Dominaria itself. Finally, when the time comes for him to set the master bomb, Urza makes the fateful decision to disarm it and spare Phyrexia from destruction. Taysir attempts to reason with him, but Urza initiates the kill rubric in Taysir's Titan Engine as he had done with Tevesh Szat's, killing him.
Ertai, the Corrupted, Ertai's Trickery	Shortly after the Predator is destroyed, a Phyrexianized Ertai ambushes Gerrard and Squee on the Weatherlight and transports them to Crovax's throne room in the Stronghold.
Phyrexian Tyranny	Crovax gloats over Gerrard and extols Yawgmoth's glory, killing and reviving Squee and even summoning the seemingly resurrected form of Selenia as a demonstration of the dark god's power. He offers Gerrard the same covenant- submit to Yawgmoth, and Hanna can be returned to him.
Crosis's Catacombs	The dragons come at last to Urborg to awaken Crosis, the black Primeval, who resides beneath a tar pit. Rith explains that each of them is an incarnation of the draconic life cycle- Rith being childhood, Treva being youth, Dromar being adulthood, and Crosis being death- and reveals that Darigaaz himself is the red Primeval, with the dragon he had found inside the destroyed monument in Shiv having merely been his old body. As the first of the Primevals and the incarnation of conception, Rith explains, Darigaaz is continuously reborn after death, and he alone possesses the power to awaken the others. She then explains that Crosis may only be awakened by the sacrifice of the other four Primevals and that his dominion over death will enable him to resurrect them in their true bodies. The Primevals plunge to their deaths in the boiling tar, and moments later emerge reborn alongside Crosis as immortal beings of near-godlike power.
Urza's Guilt	After Urza's decision not to destroy Phyrexia, he hears the voice of Yawgmoth in his mind, which tells him to come to the seventh sphere to prove his loyalty. When he does, he finds the mutilated form of his brother Mishra, who has seemingly been kept alive and tortured in the bowels of Phyrexia for thousands of years. Mishra pleads with Urza to take him away so that he may be freed from his torment and die in peace, but Urza coldly refuses him, swearing fealty to Yawgmoth and abandoning his brother to his fate.
Shifting Sky, Dominaria's Judgment, Shriek of Dread	In Urborg, the army of Metathran and minotaurs have begun their assault on the Stronghold. They fight a losing battle against the hordes of Phyrexian defenders on the volcano's slope, but the tides are turned when the Golden Argosy arrives bearing an army of elven and Keldon warriors led by Eladamri. In the skies above, Darigaaz and the other reborn Primevals encounter the Weatherlight and immediately set upon her, seeing her as a challenger to their domain. While the Weatherlight tries to fend off the assault, Nemata and his company of treefolk emerge from the ocean, having crossed the plane in their pursuit of Rith.
Warped Devotion	Unbelieving of Crovax's assertions, Gerrard escapes from Ertai's grasp and fights back against the evincar. Restraining Gerrard with flowstone, he opens a portal to the ninth sphere of Phyrexia before him, presenting the crushing revelation that even Urza himself now bows before Yawgmoth. Finally, the dark god captures Gerrard's heart by proving Crovax's claim and producing that which he desires most- Hanna, alive and whole once more. Free of all doubt, Gerrard steps through the portal and prostrates himself beside Urza.
Terminate	Darigaaz finally catches the Weatherlight, tearing his way into the ship to destroy her engine. Once he reaches the engine room, however, he encounters Karn, and a burgeoning power within the golem transfers itself to Darigaaz, rekindling his memories and mortal conscience with a mere touch. Appalled by what has become of him in his pursuit of power, Darigaaz allows himself to plummet into the volcano below, sacrificing his life to break the circle of Primevals and make them mortal once more. With the remaining Primevals thus weakened, the Weatherlight is able to lure Rith into the clutches of Nemata who recaptures her, then drives Crosis back into the tar pit from whence he came. The dragon nations, now free from the Primevals' influence, turn on Treva and Dromar, chasing them from the skies of Urborg. Finally succumbing to the extensive damage inflicted by the dragons, the Weatherlight runs aground beneath the volcano. As the crew gathers on the ruined deck and considers their dire situation, Karn emerges from below holding the Thran Tome, claiming that he knows how to save Dominaria.

Apocalypse

Cards	Scene
Soul Link, Death Grasp, Suppress	Deep within the ninth sphere of Phyrexia, Yawgmoth strips Urza of his planeswalker powers and pits him and Gerrard against each other in a fight to the death, promising to fulfill the winner's greatest desire. For Urza, this means ultimate knowledge of Phyrexian technology, and for Gerrard, it means the resurrection of Hanna. Inside a flowstone arena shaped by Yawgmoth's will, each attempts to outmaneuver the other and both strike mortal blow after mortal blow, only for Yawgmoth to heal their broken bodies and force them to continue.
Not depicted in cards	At Urborg, Karn gathers the crew in the Weatherlight's study and explains that he has slowly been regaining ancient memories, and has discovered the secrets of the Legacy hidden within the Thran Tome. He reveals to Sisay that she and Crovax are rejected products of Urza's Bloodline Project, and that Urza had originally built Karn himself to travel back in time and destroy Yawgmoth before the Thran Civil War, leaving him to find his own purpose when this one went unfulfilled. He claims that Urza had similarly lacked a singular purpose for the rest of the Legacy, which on its face is merely a collection of powerful artifacts, but that if brought together with the right hands, these artifacts have the potential to become something new. To demonstrate this, Karn lays the Thran Tome upon the Weatherlight's engine amongst the other Legacy artifacts, which causes the ship to manifest a will of her own and transform into her final, ideal form as described within the pages of the tome.
Lay of the Land, Dwarven Patrol, Quicksilver Dagger, Dwarven Landslide	Meanwhile, Eladamri, Lin Sivvi, and Grizzlegom lead the Coalition forces in an assault on the Stronghold's main gate, but they encounter heavy resistance and are forced to regroup. While searching for another way in, they discover that a company of rock dwarves have been blasting a fissure into the side of the volcano. Eladamri forms an alliance with them, helping them break through the volcanic interior and leading a contingent of Coalition warriors into the Stronghold.
Tranquil Path	On the sixth sphere of Phyrexia, the remaining Titans discover Taysir's body and realize that Urza has betrayed their cause. They abandon their Titan Engines lest they be killed in the same fashion, using magic to shield themselves from the environment, and decide to split up and detonate the soul bombs manually.
Jungle Barrier, Consume Strength, Death Mutation	Once the Weatherlight's transformation is complete, Multani returns home to Yavimaya. He calls on Gaea to aid him one last time, drawing on her power and expending all of his life energy to bridge Yavimaya and Urborg from across Dominaria. In an instant, the swamps of Urborg are supplanted by the forests of Yavimaya, and with them legions of battle-ready elves, saprolings, treefolk, and Kavu.
Mind Extraction, Fervent Charge	Crovax, while tormenting his victims in the Stronghold, sesnes the disturbance and confronts the Yavimayan invaders. However, their combined forces quickly overwhelm him, and he is forced to retreat and gather reinforcements.
Phyrexian Arena	Urza and Gerrard continue their interminable duel, driven by an unnatural bloodlust and spurred on by Yawgmoth. Finally, after a brutal struggle, Gerrard gets the better of Urza and beheads the planeswalker in a single strike.
Jilt	For his victory, Yawgmoth grants Gerrard a place at his side and bestows him with superhuman strength and knowledge, but Gerrard demands only to see Hanna resurrected as promised. When faced with her, however, she speaks with Yawgmoth's words, asking for Urza's head. Realizing that the Hanna before him is merely the dark god's puppet, Gerrard viciously attacks her, causing Yawgmoth to eject him back through the portal and into the Stronghold.
Divine Light, Illuminate, Diversionary Tactics, Prophetic Bolt	Working in groups of two, the Titans set their plan into action, with Bo Levar and Windgrace buying their allies time by fighting off hordes of Phyrexians around the bomb sites.
Pernicious Deed, False Dawn	Meanwhile, Freyalise and Guff work to detonate the bombs, planeswalking away from the blasts. The massive explosions lay waste to the spheres of Phyrexia, leaving the plane little more than a smoking ruin.
Jaded Response, Evasive Action, Captain's Maneuver	Reborn, the Weatherlight takes to the skies, decimating the Phyrexian fleets with newfound power and speed. Sensing Gerrard and Squee within the Stronghold, the ship plunges toward the volcano, deflecting incoming fire with her mirrored hull.
Symbiotic Deployment, Smash, Guided Passage	While Eladamri, Lin Sivvi, and Grizzlegom lead their Coalition allies through the Stronghold from below, Sisay, Tahngarth, and Karn infiltrate from the Weatherlight, returning to the torture pits where they once languished and freeing the prisoners there. Both groups make for the throne room, slaying legions of Rathi and Phyrexian defenders along the way. Far below, the dwarves carry out a plan to flood the volcano with a sea of magma, which begins to rise toward the Stronghold.
Squee's Revenge	Upon his return from Phyrexia, Gerrard encounters Ertai in the throne room. A fight breaks out, and Squee arrives just in time to save Gerrard from a deadly spell. Ertai summons Crovax to the throne room to deal with Gerrard while he chases Squee through the surrounding halls, killing the goblin repeatedly only for him to come back to life moments later. While preparing another spell, Ertai is tripped by Squee and releases the magic prematurely, badly burning himself. He returns to his rejuvenation chamber to heal, but is killed when Squee accidentally stumbles into a lever and overloads the device.
Gerrard's Verdict	Meanwhile, Gerrard and Crovax face off in the throne room. Crovax reanimates the corpses strewn about the room, letting the zombies weaken Gerrard before closing in and nearly choking him to death. However, with the last of his strength Gerrard ensnares Crovax in flowstone, allowing him to recover and gain the advantage. After a series of decisive blows, Gerrard cleaves the evincar in half, ending his reign for good.
Last Caress	Upon Crovax's death, Gerrard sees the angelic form of Selenia descend to his body. A ghostly image of Crovax appears, uncorrupted by vampirism or Phyrexian technology, and together the two forms rise into the air and disappear.
Squee's Embrace	Despite this victory, Gerrard and Squee soon find themselves surrounded by Stronghold soldiers. Just when it seems they are cornered, Urza's disembodied head springs to life, beaming magic from its eyes and burning the soldiers to ash. He explains to Gerrard that as a planeswalker he does not need a body, and so long as he retains his brain and powerstone eyes, he will live on. Sisay and Eladamri's groups soon arrive at the throne room, and after a brief reunion they fight their way back to the Weatherlight.
Planar Despair, Goblin Trenches	Yawgmoth begins the final phase of his invasion, entering Dominaria himself through the Stronghold portal. He takes the form of a great black cloud that kills any life it touches, resurrecting it to fight for Phyrexia. The Weatherlight crew attempts to stop him, first by trying to seal him inside the volcano and then by engaging him directly, but both prove ineffectual. At Yawgmoth's command, all of Dominaria's dead and even its very soil rise to slay the living, causing widespread devastation across the plane.
Index, Wild Research	Upon returning from Phyrexia and witnessing the dire state of Dominaria, Guff informs the rest of the Titans that Yawgmoth is destined to conquer the plane. He knows this because it is written in the volumes in his library, which contain not only the events that have happened on Dominaria, but those that are yet to happen as well. When reminded that the loss of Dominaria will also mean the loss of his life's work, Guff decides to alter the future by erasing the passages chronicling the outcome of the invasion, barely finishing this task before being engulfed and killed by Yawgmoth.
Gaea's Balance	Meanwhile, Freyalise goes to aid the forests, restoring vitality to Dominaria's treefolk and plant life which consume the nutrients of the attacking mud golems and undead.
Last Stand	All of Dominaria fights for survival. At Urborg, the Coalition forces rally against the sea of Phyrexians and undead, only to be consumed entirely by the killing cloud of Yawgmoth. Windgrace planeswalks Grizzlegom and his forces to the relative safety of Hurloon, only for the group to find themselves in Yawgmoth's shadow once more. Eladamri and Lin Sivvi watch the black cloud descend upon them from the boughs of a treefolk, and decide to die on their own terms as a final defiant act. They embrace, then fall to their deaths together in the fires below. Bo Levar returns to the sea, traveling to a commune of Vodalian refugees and sacrificing his life to protect the merfolk from Yawgmoth. Slowly, the dark god's form spreads to encompass the whole of the plane.
Legacy Weapon	Aboard the Weatherlight, the crew desperately searches for a way to stop Yawgmoth before Dominaria is lost. Urza asserts that the Legacy contains the energy of entire worlds, including that of Serra's Realm which resides within the Weatherlight's central powerstone, and that the release of this energy would undoubtedly be catastrophic enough to destroy Yawgmoth. However, Sisay points out that this would essentially be another Sylex Blast, an event that would kill millions and cause untold destruction, and entreats Gerrard to find another way. Karn then comes forward with a suggestion- he has learned from the Thran Tome that one of Dominaria's moons, the Null Moon, is actually an ancient Thran artifact that has been gathering white mana for millennia- enough, he believes, to kill Yawgmoth if it were released. The others agree with this plan, and Sisay planeshifts the Weatherlight out of Dominaria's atmosphere and into the moon, piercing it with the ship's prow and releasing a torrent of white mana. Diving back toward the surface of the plane, the Weatherlight focuses the mana through her engine and blasts Yawgmoth with it, disintegrating great swaths of the black cloud. Wounded, Yawgmoth attempts to flee through the portal from whence he came, only to find that the Stronghold has been engulfed by the rising lava. He fights back against the Weatherlight in a rage, grasping the ship with great black tentacles that rise from the darkness. While the crew tries to fend off his attacks, the cascade of mana overloads the ship's engine, disabling the beam. All hope seems lost, until Urza proposes one final possibility- He asserts that the Mightstone and Weakstone, which are imbued with the will of Glacian and once protected Dominaria from Yawgmoth by sealing the portal at Koilos, hold the power to destroy him. If Gerrard, as heir to the Legacy, were to remove these stones from his head and reunite them, Urza believes that this would act as the final catalyst for the Legacy and fully unleash its power. Despite his doubts about this plan, Gerrard recognizes it as their last hope and agrees, saying his goodbyes to the crew. Once the Weatherlight is in position, Gerrard gouges the Mightstone and Weakstone out of Urza's eye sockets, finally killing the ancient planeswalker. As Yawgmoth's tentacles crush the ship, Gerrard forces the stones together within the Legacy trove in Karn's chest.
Vindicate	Once the stones are united, light erupts from Karn, the Legacy, and the Weatherlight. An immense power envelops Gerrard, and in his final moments he hears Hanna call out to him. He takes her hand and walks away, and then he is gone. Karn, however, is transformed- he hears the voices of the Legacy and the Weatherlight, of Urza and Xantcha, of all that have become a part of him, and leaves Dominaria. The light explodes from the ship, burning through Yawgmoth in seconds and eradicating every trace of his darkness, ridding Dominaria of the dark god once and for all. Across the plane, the dead return to their rest and the Phyrexian soldiers grow listless, unable to function upon the death of their creator. The invasion is over, and the long war against Phyrexia is won. The Weatherlight crashes into the sea, sinking into the depths while her crew swims ashore.
Martyrs' Tomb	One year later, the heroes of Dominaria- the remaining Weatherlight crew, Freyalise and Windgrace, Grizzlegom, and the myriad soldiers of the Coalition- come together to dedicate a monument to the dead on the grounds of Crovax's estate. Freyalise speaks to the sacrifice of the fallen, and the burden of the living to honor that sacrifice and look after their world. After the ceremony, Karn appears before the crew as a planeswalker, revealing that he has been traveling across the multiverse since his transformation. He takes Orim back to Mercadia to be with Cho-Manno, while Tahngarth and Squee join Sisay on her new ship, a galley which she names Victory.
