[LCI] Pirates, Vampires and Dinos, oh my! The Lost Caverns of Ixalan spoliers

They threw the paleontologists a bone by adding some feathers

Ugh. I'm pretty sure they all smashed their heads into a wall when they saw the results.


They should throw everyone a bone and do a passable job. Get John Conway or Raven Amos to do them.

I'm also mad that paleontology even exists in ixilan. There aren't any fossils because the dinos are still alive.
It's just biology

Well even if you were alive in the middle of the Cretaceous period, dinosaurs would have been around for some 160 million years prior, so there would be a fossil record of note.

But also, it is a children's card game.

One small problem: The Ixilan earth is hollow, so where in the strata are the fossils?

/shrug

Hollow but thick?

Or maybe the fundamentalists were right, and Tibalt buried them to trick us, Ixalan is only 4,000 years old :|

That's more believable than a plane inventing a discipline to study extinct creatures when said creatures are still alive

I wasn't aware there was any narrative left behind the sets at this point. Sounds like they put as much effort into it as into the art.
