March Of The Machine is the finale of the second Phyrexian Invasion arc that started in the Kaldheim set, with every Plane across the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering Multiverse being affected by the invasion. By utilizing the Phyrexian Realmbreaker, the New Phyrexia🎀ns are capable of entering into other Planes in an attempt to indoctrinate them into Phyrexia.
Every Plane is fighting back against New Phyrexia in their respective Planes, but there's a war going on within New Phyrexia itself. The entire Multiverse is being affected by New Phyrexia, each one with its own unique tragedies and ways to fight back against the invading threat.
The Invasion Begins
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Elesh Norn h🐟as just activated the Realmbreaker, with her Phyrexian forces being dispatched to the various Planes. She offers the captured Planeswalkers Tyvar Kell, Kaya, and Kaito Shizuki a place within the Phyrexian one final time, and when they all refuse she ultimatelꦦy lets them escape, no longer caring for them as she turned her attent𝔉ion to dispatching her compleated Planeswalkers.
Elesh then uses Nissa to control the Realmbreaker, steering it to open porta🦂ls for the compleated to go through to start their attacks on the Planes.
Jace Beleren wanders off, not sharing any words with Elesh Norn while Lukka, Ajani, Nahiri, Vraska, Tamiyo, and the compleated angel Atraxa arrive shortly after. They bring along a captured Sheoldred, the black Praetor who is executed by Ajani by order of Elesh Norn.
Elesh Norn begins dispatching the compleated Planeswalkers to their home Planes, with Nahiri being sent to Zendikar, Vraska being sent to Ravnica and Lukka to Ikoria. When the Realmbreaker opens up the portal to Kamigawa, Tamiyo becomes lost in her thoughts but shakes it off as she goes there.
Ajani is ordered to go to Theros to compleat the Gods that live there by converting their followers first, because in that plane the Gods' appearances and power are driven by belief. Lastly, Atraxa is sent to New Capenna to decimate the place and all the Halo there, as it is one of the weaknesses of Phyrexians.
The Planeswalkers that managed to escape New Pꦍhyrexia return to Dominaria to tell the other ones what happened and how they failed. Chandra Nalaar is s⛎haken and refuses to believe it, and insists on travelling to New Phyrexia to continue the assault.
Every remaining Planeswalker disagrees, and they warn her about the dangers of going there. They all Planeswalk away back to their respective home Planes except for Chandra, who is joined by the Planeswalker Wrenn, the only one on board with her plan, and they both travel to New Phyrexia to take the Realmbreaker down.
Fighting Back
On Kamigawa, Tamiyo arrives and starts to spread Glistening Oil, the substance that turns living beings into Phyrexians. The ancient tree Boseiju is destroyed and starts to drip oil as w𝄹ell as it becomes compleated, and part of Tamiyo is horrified by the sight, but the Phyrexian corruption shuts it down by telling her this is what Kamigawa had earned - peace.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kaya arrives in Kamigawa just in time to save a small child that was escaping from a building plummeting down, and both are saved by the timely arrival of Kaito.
They advance towards Tamiyo, but before they can engage her in combat they are found by Tamiyo's adopted son Nashi, who asks if he can talk with her first, believing he can get through to her. They agree, but Nashi fails to break through the Phyerxian corrupt𓆏ion and Kaito in༺tervenes.
Tamiyo attacks Kaito and dangles him, but he cuts the rope and is saved by the Wanderer, who arrives riding on top of the spirit dragon Kyodai. Af🙈t🅘erwards, she turns her attention to Tamiyo and with a strike, kills her.
The group all console Nashi, and hear Tamiyo's voice call for him - her natural voice, not the metallic one the compleated one had. Tamiyo had created a scroll that would activate in the event of her death, one that would create a ๊spirit of her memory. Nashi and the spirit of Tamiyo share a hug while Kaito looks on, taking the small victory where they could take it.
Invasion Of Ikoria
Jirina, Lukka's ex-fiance and leader of Drannith leads her people out of their destroyed home in search of a new one, and the Planeswalker Vivien Reid recruits the help of Chevill, a hunter that under normal circumstances she wouldn't ally herself with. They are there to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:try and take the compleated Lukka dow🍌n who had begun sowing chaos across the Plane.
They encounter Lukka and briefly capture him before he is able to break free and all of Chevill's men flee. Lukka escapes the scene as he tries to close the gap between him and the survivors of Drannith's fall, and Vivien tries to keep Chevill's assistance but he refuses, too afraid of being turned himself even after Vivien threatens him.
As Jirina and her people travel, they witness one of Ikoria's monsters become exposed to Glistening Oil, only for it to dissipate thanks to crystals that became a part of its body, since they had evolved to form a natural resistance to it.
When they make it to their destination, Lukka appears and tells them he is there with a gift to unite them all. However, it was all a part of Jirina's plan, she hadn't taken their people to a new home, but to the nest of the dragon Vadrok.
Vadrok attacks Lukka, tearing him out of the centaur he was bonded with and capturing him in his mouth. With Vadrok's help, Vivien shoots multiple arrows into Lukka's chest to take him down, and Vadrok drops Lukka, engulfing him with his flame - capable of erasing the very memory of someone from everyone's minds.
Jirina's people realize what she had done to them - use them as bait. Though Vadrok leaves them be, there was no guarantee it wouldn't. The people are enraged at her, but Vivien tells them to deal with the politics after the Phyrexians are taken care of.
Invasion Of Arcavios
On Arcavios, home of Strixhaven, the five main students of each school Killian, Dina, Rootha, Zimone, and Quintorius are all travelling through the Biblioplex so they can activate the Invocation of the Founders that can save the school from ꧅the Phyrexians, sent there by the teacher and Planeswalker Lilia🥀na Vess.
Nearly all the teachers and deans were compleated during the invasion, and inside the Biblioplex, they encounter a compleated Dean Shalie, who attacks Killian and captures him within a cage over his head. She 🦄was seeking his father Dean Embrose, who had avoided compleation.
Killian is saved when Dean Embrose reveals himself by attacking Shaile. He tells the students to leave and that he'll hold back Shaile, something Killian refuses before being convinced by the other students to let Embrose do it.
The students manage to find the spell, with Dina and Zimone working together to create a platform above the Bilbioplex to activate the spell away from the Phyrexians. They make their way to the top where they begin the invocation but are interrupted by a compleated Dean Nassari, who attacks Rootha and causes her part of the spell to weaken.
Quintorius notices this and grabs hold of Rootha's part of the spell, powering two parts of it as the spell succeeds, but he feels an immense energy within him as his Planeswalker spark ignites, and he planeswalks away.
The four remaining students return to Strixhaven's medical bay, where the wounded were being healed since the Invocation of the Founders worked, and the Phyerxians were pushed back. Dean Embrose is among those in the bay, having held Shalie back while 𒈔keeping himself from being co꧑mpleated.
Liliana notices that Quintorius was gone, and when they explain what happened, she realizes that his spark likely ignited. Liliana summons an army of the undead t♏o act as a defence to keep Strixhaven safe from Phyrexia, vowing to keep it up as long as she still has air in her body.
Invasion Of New Capenna
The Maestros family of New Capenna has fallen, most either killed or compleated, including the head of the family Anhelo. Errant and her wife Pa෴rnesse are running away, but Parnesse is in🅺jured and slowing them down.
She tells Errant to go on without her, something she reluctantly does before Parnesse activates an explosive that knocks them both out, and they are saved by an angel named Della. Both are taken back to a safe house where they are healed, and Della tells Errant that Halo is not capable of undoing compleation, but only prevents it fro♉m converting someone in the first place.
Errant is recruited by the enforcers of the other families Perrie, Kamiz, and Henzie to drop part of New Capenna on Atraxa and kill her, something she refuses to do until Parnesse tells her it is what Errant needs, and only 🅺she is acrobatic enough to plant the explosives. All the families work tog༒ether to hold back New Phyrexia, a unity not seen for some time.
While planting the explosives, Errant is ambushed by the compleated Anhelo, her father, who tries to bring her into Phyrexia. Errant refuses and evades him, telling him goodbye as she jumps from the building, activating the bombs and making Park Heights fall from the sky.
Errant is freefalling down to the ground and is caught by Della, who tells her that the plan succeeded and the rest were alright. Atraxa is impaled and killed by the city falling on top of her, and the angels of New Capenna go through the portals the Realm♚breaker opened to assist the other Planes with fighting back.
Invasion Of Zendikar
Nahiri a⛄rrives on Zendikar and decides to find a place to channel her network of hedrons, originally meanꦑt for the Eldrazi, to power herself to spread Phyrexian perfection. She finally finds this location at the Skyclave in Emeria, where she could make the Phyrexian invasion amplified to be more efficient.
A small party consisting of Akiri, Tazri, Linvala, Erem, Kaza, and Orah are the main defence against her, and they all perform scouting missions to try and figure out her plan without endangering themselves. Erem is captured in a Phyrexian pod and compleated as the 𒅌rest of the party is forced to abandon him.
While travelling, the Roil - the living nature of Zendikar - tries to attack Nahiri, but the lithomancer is able to beat it and she revels in glee at this, knowing that before her compleation she would never be able to accomplish this. She makes it to the Skyclave where she merges herself into the keystone at its heart, to p𒊎our her essence into the hedron network.
The party arrives and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:engages in combat with Nahiri, and the halo belonging to Tazri talks to her, telling her when to attack and when to use it to attack. She throws the halo at Nahiri and a flash of ligh💯t removes Nahiri from her encasement.
Before she could fight back, the Skyclave begins to fall down, and the party escapes but Nahiri fails to do so as she plummets down to the ground, stuck inside.
Invasion Of Ravnica
Vraska arrives on Ravnica and starts compleating the Golgari, while there is an internal fight within her head between the normal Vraska and the one that was corrupted by Phyrexia. She winds up in her old apartment, from the time before she became the Golgari Guildmaster, and she reminisces about the artifacts she acquired from the various ꦛPlanes she visited.
The most important to her is the thaumatic compass, which is what had originally led her to Jace Beleren on Ixalan where she fell in love with him. She hides it on her person before the Phyrexian part of her head takes over, and𒅌 she leaves the apartment and travels back up to the main area of Ravnica.
Here, the Planeswalker Ral Zerek shows up, shielding his eyes from her to avoid petrification. Before Vraska can attack him, he implants a device into Vraska's chest that causes her to spasm down to the ground, vomiting oil and blood as s😼he starts dying.
Inside her head, she sees Jace Beleren there. She tells him how ashamed she is of herself, and Jace tells her all 🔴the evil he had done in the past, and the two share a kiss before the vision stops.
The Ravnicas had successfully held back the Phyrexians, and Ral Zarek and his husband Tomik Vrona are working on cleaning up Ravnica in its recovery efforts. An Izzet officer arrives who was instructed to find Vraska's body, only to tell Ral Zarek that no body was found, and there were no signs of Vraska's body at all.
Invasion Of New Phyrexia
Chandra and Wrenn enter New Phyrexia, making it to the Mirran safe zone.
They meet up with the Planeswalker Koth and tell them about Wrenn's plan to merge with the Realmbreaker itself. With no other options, Koth agrees that the Mirran Resistance will help them in their plan. The Phyrexian Praetor Urabrask tells them how to get to the Realmbreaker, and while they're on their way, Chandra meets face to face with the compleated Nissa for the first time, horrified at the sight.
They have a conversation, and Nissa tells Chandra that Phyrexia isn't something to fear, going as far as to ask Elesh Norn for the opportunity to talk with Chandra personally. Nissa then turns to Wrenn, tearing her out from the tree she's merged with Seven, completely destroying it.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Planeswalker Elspeth Tirel had previously grabbed hold of the Sylex - the device meant to be used to destroy New Phyrexia - and planeswalked away with it during the events of Phyrexia: All Will Be One. She now awakens in a strange Plane, where a woman's voice tells her that she has the option to enter back into the fight on any Plane.
As the voice takes the form of her mother, she is given the option of going to New Capenna, and Elspeth refuses knowing that they could handle the Phyrexians themselves. The form then becomes her old lover Daxos, as she is shown Theros and Ajani compleating its denizens.
Though it hurts, she knows saving Theros won't help in the grand scheme of things, and it settles on New Phyrexia, where Urabrask has been captured and his limbs are being torn off. More importantly, she sees Chandra and Wrenn and knows they are the key to victory.
Elspeth decides that New Phyrexia is where she is most needed, and the only way they can win the war. The voice is revealed to be the ancient angel Serra, who opens the gateway for Elspeth to go to New Phyrexia and Elspeth is reborn as an archangel, as she arrives on the Plane.
On New Phyrexia, the creator of Mirrodin (that eventually became New Phyrexia) Karn was captured by Elesh Norn, and forced to watch as Elesh Norn's invasion threatened the whole Multiverse. He was about to be executed, but suddenly Elspeth arrives and saves him. Elesh Norn orders Jin-Gitaxias to attend to the others as she focuses her energy on Elspeth.
The fear that she felt for New Phyrexia is gone from Elspeth now, remaining calm as she and Elesh Norn fight, the Praetor raging against her.꧂ Jin-Gitaxias insists on Elesh Norn stop the bickering which is me⛦ant with rage by Elesh Norn.
While distracted, Elspeth takes the opportunity to strike Elesh Norn in her exposed shoulder. Though Elspeth does not kill Elesh Norn with her strike, she knows she's more needed in the fight to get Wrenn to the Realmbreaker. She notices that the Mirran woman Melira, immune to the Glistening Oil had been severely injured. She leaves Elesh Norn despite her protests to stay 🌠and fight to assist th🌼em.
Return Of Zhalfir
Wrenn can not move without a tree, so she is carried by the Mirran Resistance, all of them doing everything in their power to get her to the Realmbreaker. They are able to get her there, and Wrenn connects herself with the Realmbreaker.
Inside, she sees the scared seed that was once the World Tree. The Realmbreaker tries to convert her but Wrenn ignores its voice, instructing the seed to grow. With it, she has a new tree she bonds with, the Realmbreaker becoming Eight.
Wrenn channels as much energy as she can to reach out to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:find the Planeswalker Teferi, who is in the Plane of Zhalfir, which had been phased out for years. It takes effort, but Wrenn manages to find Zhalfir an🌄d gets in contact with Teferi, who tells her that Zhalfir is ready for war.
Wrenn didn't just find Zhalfir, she also begins to pull it back into the Multiverse and the Zhalfir warriors charge in, turning the tide against the war on New Phyrexia.
This wasn't all Wrenn was doing, because as she brought Zhalfir back she was pushing New Phyrexia back into the space where Zhalfir was once banished to. It wasn't just the Zhalfir people who came to help but angels from across the Multiverse as well, and the angel Giada has a reunion with Elspeth.
The Phyerxians try to fight back, and Teferi uses his time magic to slow them down. The Phyrexian Praetor Vorinclex charges at him but is dispatched by a Zhalfir warrior who slays him. During the scuffle, Jin-Gitaxias turns on Elesh Norn, believing her to be a weak, selfish leader.
Ajani returns to New Phyrexia to condemn Jin-Gitaxias, but he is captured and taken away by the Zhalfir forces after Teferi instructs them to keep him alive. Though the process had led to Wrenn's death, an acorn that fell from the tree that Teferi knew was Wrenn's soul was quickly grabbed by Teferi.
Jin-Gitaxias' vat of Phyrexian newts is destroyed and he falls into it, with the newts ea🎃ting Jin-Gitaxias alive. The offensive notices that the portal between worlds was starting to close, and it was time to escape to Zhalfir as New Phyrexia was being phased out of the Multiverse.
Teferi uses his magic to slow time down for t𝓡hem to escape and for the last of the Planeswalkers to finish their business.
Chandra refuses to leave without Nissa, who attempts to attack them in anger for destroying New Phyrexia's plans. She is saved by a shield created by Koth, and Elspeth arrives and hits Nissa on the back of her head with her blade to knock her out cold.
Karn goes to Elesh Norn, grabs hold of her and unmakes her, breaking his vow of pacifism after everything that had happened and forcing himself to watch the destroyed Elesh Norn as penance for the pain he had unintentionally brought throughout the Multiverse. With that, Karn steps through the portal along with the rest, New Phyrexia phasing out as Zhal♏fir takes its place.
Victory
With New Phyrexia phased out, the link to Glistening Oil cuts off, and everyone who was compleated suddenly starts crumbling to the ground with no more en💞ergy keeܫping them going. The oil was linked to New Phyrexia and Elesh Norn, and with Elesh Norn gone, it ceased being effective.
On Zhalfir, everyone is celebrating the victory, ℱand the Mirrans are welcomed with open arms to join their cꦦommunity.
While everyone celebrates, Teferi wanders off with the acorn, stopping at a patch of grass and planting it. He says a few words before joining the rest back at the base camp where he walks into the medical tent where the injured are being tended to, and all the Planeswalkers are talking about what to do with Ajani and Nissa, who have become comatose.
Melira has survived her injuries up to this point but knows she is on borrowed time, so she offers the last of her life force to heal Ajani and Nissa. The Planeswalkers agree, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:but Koth is uncertain and leaves the tent where he encounters Elspeth.
She explains to him that Melira is getting to choose how she dies, the same way that Koth chose to fight New Phyrexia until they either won or he was killed. Though Koth is still uncertain, he agrees, looking to the five suns of Mirrodin that are still on Zhalfir, 🐠which make him feel like a little bit of his home is still here.
Inside the tent, the Planeswalkers start the healing process.�⛎� Teferi creates a time bubble around them so they have more time to work.
Karn extracts the sparks of Ajani and Nissa, and Melira uses her powers to cleanse them as Karn uses Venser's spark within him to give them a new life, the very same way that Venser had done to him. Ajani's spark is fully healed, but Nissa's appears to be chipping away and flicking on and off, so they 🐻hurry and complete the process as Melira dies.
Ajani briefly wakes up confused, asking where he is, and despite the healing, his body is still wounded and he passes out again. Nissa takes longer to wake up and Chandra worries that her spark was damaged beyond repair, but Nissa wakes up and they share a kiss.
Teferi smiles at the scene, looking out towards Zhalfir, exci🐓ted for the🔯 brighter future ahead of them.
