They will need to do either the Brother's War, or the start of the Weatherlight saga

Brother's War would kick ASS

IF... they held true to the book

Which rocked

Weatherlight would be too hard... too much back story to try and explain

But yeah, I want it to be about The Brother's War... I think the sylex exploding would be an awesome ending

Bright flash... final thought, and credits

Or maybe have a short narration by Tawnos when he emerges from his coffin

It should be about Yawgmoth and the formation of Phyrexia. I want to see that, done right, so very badly. But I doubt it would be pulled off to my standards.

I'd say if it was going to be the Weatherlight saga, there'd have to be some trimming.

And they'd better not even attempt an Odyssey movie. The book was such a mess, nothing good could come of it. A Torment adaption might be alright, though.

Hm. I've got to read the Brothers' War books.

Possibly, but The Thran was a FAR slower book, it wasn't for the casual MTG reader

You read The Thran if you wanted to know how Yawgmoth came to be

Brother's War on the other hand, can be adapted far easier, and works by itself without any other knowledge of MTG

BTW, the movie may very well suck

Check out the director's previous movies...

THEY AREN'T EVEN IN ENGLISH!

The Suck possibility is high. But in all honesty, I don't really expect to see thr movie even released. With Magic, there's so many ways to start something much too ambitious and never be able to finish it.

I haven't actually read The Thran, because it didn't look like it would do Yawgmoth justice. I've only read the Phyrexian mythology from Myths of Magic.

I thought that was well done, though.

It would also be kind of cool if they did five to seven shorter storylines highlighting each color. But that would be exponentially more difficult, so I really can't see it happening.

The Thran was what actually happened with Yawgmoth, all of the other stories are based off that history

But The Brother's War was a seriously good book...by far what they should base the movie on

If you like MTG and have not read The Brothers War, go get it now

Well, I would also reccommend the other 12 (Yup, 12) books that span the entire Phyrexian saga

And yeah, Oddysey sucked... ditto judgement

Torment was pretty cool, but still wasn't all that amazing

Onslaught had potential, but then they killed off Ixidor, who was turning out to be a really cool character, in that Insane-Urza kind of way

But god damn, they could do 6 books just about Braids and I would be happy

She is one of THE coolest characters MTG has ever produced

Well, yeah... she can end the game really really fast, but actually the card wasn't designed for her

Just, the artwork for her was the one originally made for Diabolic Tutor, but it was so good they decided it deserved it's own card, so they took an old Tempest card that they never included in the set, named it after her, made it a legend... and she became her own deck type
