While we are not told precisely why, Mishra later came to despise Tocasia. During his time as Tocasia’s apprentice, Urza is thought to have created the first Ornithopter.Īt some point in their childhood, Tocasia took her two young apprentices, the brothers Urza and Mishra, to the Caves of Koilos, where, in a place called the Hall of Tagsin, they each laid eyes on a powerful artifact: Urza, the Mightstone, and Mishra, the Weakstone. Tocasia made use of a kind of artificial creature called an Onulet, which given the similarities, may have been created after studying ancient thran relics called Su-Chi. From excavations, we know that Tocasia probably invented the Grapeshot Catapult, and that she taught lessons on clarity of purpose, resource gathering ( Urza’s Tower). Sometime, long ago, two brothers, Urza and Mishra, were apprenticed to an artificer named Tocasia. With the wreckage (the cards) of the Brothers’ War before us, some people, places, and events begin to emerge.
So how robust (or how thin) was our knowledge of this lore in 1994? In Part Two, rather than simply meandering through the list of artifacts, I’ve organized the flavor text around people and places mentioned, and have attempted to construct some kind of narrative that resembles what I, then an 11-year old kid, might’ve been able to put together if I had access to all the cards and their flavor text.
