Reason #6,270: Goblin social reform

Goblins tend to be highly destructive creatures with a strong disregard for health and personal safety. Now I know what you’re thinking: “Lost cause, Dave. That’s just the way they are, and you’re not going to change that.” In which case, I think I’ll stick to my current plane, which is not inhabited by goblins, …

Reason #3,009: Eldraine also has public safety issues

Yeah, you remember those mountain roads in Innistrad without guardrails? Well, not to be outdone, Eldraine decided to build a tournament ground at the base of an active volcano.

Reason #2,923: What’s a Thrinax?

A lizard. That produces fungal spores when it dies. Is this how the thrinax reproduces? Will those spores eventually grow into new thrinaxes? Thrinaxi? Thrinax? What is the plural of thrinax?
