Who let the gods out?

 

When we last saw Emrakul she was happily sleeping in Innistrad’s moon, no longer enjoying her time wreaking havoc on the already horrific plane of vampires and werewolves. Now, suddenly, without explanation, everyone’s favorite eldritch mother has returned from her exile to wreak havoc once again.

 

Emrakul’s presence was already felt on Innistrad, where her proximity alone was enough to mutate humans, werewolves, and even the land itself into horrifying, tentacled abominations. Her influence no longer seems to be bound to Innistrad, though, as Modern Horizons 3 is filled with Dominarian creatures undergoing similar mutations. Watch out for Eldrazi goblins, wumpuses, and even fish to add new fuel to the Modern fire.

 

How did Emrakul escape the moon? Perhaps she was never trapped, after all. When Jace spoke to her immediately before the seal was in place, she seemed to accept being sealed so well that one might imagine she was happy to take a break in the lunar dust. And if the only thing keeping her sealed away was her own desire to sleep, why has she awakened again?
