* GreaterScopeParagon: Issue #20 reveals that [[spoiler:Aminatou the Fateshifter has been pulling the strings of fate to make the PowerTrio come together]].

* BackFromTheDead:[[spoiler: Downplayed. Jace turns out to be the death spectre that was chasing Niko, and when his soul enters the Cauldron of Eternity he becomes strong enough to interact with the living as a visible but bodiless ghost]].

* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Jace Beleren]] is alive and well in the canon storyline, but is killed by [[spoiler:Marit Lage]] in the comic.

* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Inverted with the first trio. Ral is competent enough with hand to hand combat to survive being attacked by assassins, but he's not nearly as skilled in close quarters combat as Kaya or Vraska. Instead he uses his [[ShockAndAwe electrokinesis]] as a powerful midrange crowd control weapon. Played straight with [[KillItWithFire Chandra]] and [[BarbarianHero Garruk]].

* InstantlyProvenWrong: Niko, tired of how everyone talks about [[CityPlanet Ravnica]] like the center of the multiverse, decides that, once he sees it for himself, he won't be impressed no matter what. That resolution lasts for thiry seconds.

* KickTheDog: When confronted by Chandra and Garruk in the Stronghold, Tibalt tries to bury the nearby village under a stream of flowstone just to spite Chandra. Fortunately, Chandra manages to persuade Garruk into helping her to save the village, but it establishes what a nasty piece of work Chandra, Garruk and Niko have to face.

** Ral Zarek is [[spoiler:kept in an open cell with no guards, using his lightning to power Tezzeret's schemes. the moment he stops channeling said lightning, Tezzeret's guards will kill Ral's partner, Tomik]].

* TakenForGranite: As a ravnican gorgon, Vraska can petrify people with a look, though she can turn it off and on when she desires. She admits that this does make it difficult to form personal relationships, since most people are too afraid to look her in the eyes. Part of the reason she likes Jace is that he was never afraid.

** For the second arc, the role is taken by [[spoiler:Tezzeret, disguised as Niv-Mizzet]].

* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Davriel Cane fancies himself a man of higher culture, enjoying things like good books, fine dining, and finder clothing. Hillariously, Garruk Wildspeaker is the only one of the team who takes him up on an offer of wine, and is seen drinking daintily from a wine glass way too small for his enormous hands.

* HiddenDepths: Chandra asks if Garruk has been keeping secrets after it turns out that he's on good terms with the royal family of Eldraine. Subverted for the audience, who most likely knows of how Garruk saved the lives of the Kenrith twins.
