3!! Tropes in this series:
4
5* AmbiguousGender: Ashiok is a planeswalker whose origin, gender and very species are unknown. Rather infamously, Dack refers to Ashiok as male in this comic – WordOfGod had to step in and clarify that this is just Dack’s perspective.
6* ArabianNightsDays: The briefly visited plane of Alkabah.
7* TheCameo: Dack’s story occasionally crosses over with that of characters from other storylines. So far, [[Literature/ZendikarInTheTeethOfAkoum Sorin Markov]] and [[Literature/AlaraUnbroken Malfegor]] have made appearances.
8* CutShort: The comic ended in 2014 on a massive cliffhanger. [[spoiler:Dack later returns in ''Literature/WarOfTheSparkRavnica'', only to get killed off.]]
9* DoomedHometown: Drakeston, where Dack comes from.
10* LifeDrinker: Sifa Grent drains the life from her victims in order to maintain her youth and beauty.
11* NightmareSequence: When Dack falls under the influence of Ashiok on Theros.
12* ReviveKillsZombie: Dack's friend Fadka uses a healing spell to destroy a Golgari zombie.
13* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: This is the central theme of the first three miniseries.
14* SinsOfOurFathers: Vog's father offended the gods of Theros and was cursed. Vog inherited the curse from him, and is worried that he might pass it down to his daughter as well.
15* {{Sleepwalking}}: Ashiok creates a curse which causes mages to sleepwalk and commit crimes in their sleep.
16* TheUnderworld: The final volume of the Theros miniseries end with Dack about to enter Nyx, Theros’ underworld.
17* VainSorceress: Sifa Grent is a Planeswalker who uses her magic to drain life from others in order to maintain her youth and beauty.
