>yfw Nicol Bolas shows up for one story, right at the very end to BTFO the Gatewatch and then get whatever the fuck he was planning on getting out of this whole mess

>get whatever the fuck he was planning on getting out of this whole mess
Whatever the fuck is he getting out of this anyway? Pic pretty much confirms that Amonkhet is little more than a factory. But hte intro here magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-story/hour-revelation-2017-06-07 strongly suggests that Amonkhet is super important to Bolas regaining his oldwalker powers.
>He had days. Only days until he wouldn't have the magic left to execute this plan. There was just enough time left to put into place the possible means to regain his godhood.

Again, how is an army of super zombies gonna make him an oldwalker again. At least his plan for Alara actually sounded like it had a shot, but this. I just can't see it and it bugs me.

Why is G/B so based in this story so far?

If he has an army, it would make taking over a plane easier. After the plane's defenses are exhausted, he could then cause some catastrophic event similar to the Conflux that would let him siphon the plane's mana.

Bolas chucking boardwipes left and right in dying Amonkhet might just be for show. He probably can't do that to a healthy plane that contains a robust resistance like the Eldrazi could.

Having this army might not be the best means to achieve godhood, but it's better than nothing in the nerfed post-Mending Multiverse.

>how is an army of super zombies gonna make him an oldwalker again
by bulldozing whatever the fuck is in his way to become an oldwalker again
this has been discussed before in these thread, the eternals are just another tool Bolas has
whatever he needs to do to become a god again will probably involve him being a dick (because villain) to one or more powerful entitites/planes, so is better if Bolas amasses some forces to deal with it

I hope we get to hear what Oketra said to Gideon.

because its clear that they have been hinting that Gideon is a Demi-God, so he has a special kinship with them.

also I have no idea how they are going to stop Scorpion, God of Gains.

>its clear that they have been hinting that Gideon is a Demi-God
That's not a thing. Nothing has ever even implied that.

scorpion daddy is already dead, impaled on an obelisk by hazorets initiates.

yes they did, he looks almost exactly like Heliod, he has the ability to become invincible (which no other mortal has) which causes him to shine like a Nyxborn.

he's very clearly a stand in for Hercules, with Heliod being Zeus.
