* [[http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-story/hour-devastation-2017-07-26 Hour of Devastation]] shows just how powerful Nicol Bolas is, post-Mending. He effortlessly mind fucks Jace, terrifies Liliana just by reminding her WHO he is, outclasses both Chandra and Nissa in their types of magic, then pierces through the once-impenetrable shield of Gideon with a single talon. Sure, pre-Mending, the Gatewatch would be just as equally powerful, but it's Bolas' experience and wisdom that gives him an even greater edge.

When you think about it, the final loyalty ability on Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God is pretty chilling


* The final loyalty ability on [[https://scryfall.com/card/war/207/nicol-bolas-dragon-god his card]] in ''War of the Spark''. In ''Magic'' lore, each player is a planeswalker. If you don't have a legendary creature or planeswalker on the battlefield to protect you, he literally rips '''''YOUR''''' spark out. Sweet dreams.



* From the magic 2012 expansion; [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=221516 "Deathmark"]] Is very subtle but full of EyeScream. One can only imagine what horror's would make your very pupil leak out of your eye.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5W9t62t10I War of the Spark trailer]] opens and ends on a [[SarcasmMode lovely]] close-up of Liliana screaming in anger and pain alike as she is ''being burned alive from the inside'' and rest of the trailer is telling the viewer how we got there. After seeing a young girl and her brother, very much like her and Josu before his death, trying to get away from the Eternals destroying Ravanica, only to be [[DeathFromAbove crushed to death by falling boulders]] she finally turns on Bolas. And the dragon in response makes tattoos symbolizing her contract ignite and start ''burning her to cinders''. It's also implied what really pushed her over the edge was Bolas telepathically ordering her to ''raise the children as zombies''. On top of that, we have Deck Fayden having his soul and/or Spark sucked out and sent to Bolas as a wisp. There are ''dozens'' of such wisps flying through the sky constantly, implying a huge number of Planeswalkers, likely including many beloved characters, is just being murdered left and right.

* [[https://scryfall.com/card/mor/102/sensation-gorger?utm_source=mci Sensation Gorger]] is pretty grotesque. It's a goblin who is voluntarily [[SensoryOverload overloading all of his senses]]: his eyes are being forced open by sticks, his ears have large horns shoved in them, he has a skunk on his head with its tail directly over his nose, and all of his fingernails have spikes driven through them. Topping it off is the masochistic flavour text ''More, more, more!"''.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPTEufbfoIg The cinematic trailer]] for ''Phyrexia: All Will Be One'' gives us glimpses of Elesh Norn's throne room: an intricate structure of recomposed and calcified bodies, probably covered in the same white porcelain that grows on her own body. To make things worse, Elesh speaks not in Phyrexian but in English, without referring to anyone in particular (if you don't consider the already compleated planeswalkers, who are barely visible in a shot), making it seem like [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou she's talking directly to you.]]
-->'''Elesh Norn:''' Your realms are diseased and we are the only cure. [[WithUsOrAgainstUs You can either kneel before this throne, or become a part of it.]] All will be one.
