Somebody pointed out the Mechanized Production flavortext is relevant to #mtgRNA:

“Give me eight walkers, I’ll give you the city.” —Dovin Baan

In the flavortext for Dovin's Acuity, Dovin counts planeswalkers: "himself, Domri, Kaya, Ral, Vraska … and Bolas made an even six."

I imagine the other two are Tezzeret and Liliana?

The #RNA release notes have the answer to my question:

If a creature dying at the same time as Teysa (including Teysa itself dying) causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time.

As much as I like the idea of slice-of-life Ravnica, away from the business of guild leaders and planeswalkers, I really wish Magic Story was giving us more context. Like how is the day-to-day actually affected by the changes in guild leadership.

This is as much because I think it would make better stories, as it is because I have to finish a draft of an article by the end of the month and need to know how Teysa Karlov got out of prison.

Not sure whether I'm more emotionally fragile than I used to be or just more aware of my own fragility.

EIther way, the more of the PPR I watch, the less comfortable I get with the Rakdos art and flavor.

if you make an emulator for old Magic: the Gathering computer games, please call it RakDOSbox

Follower of Rakdos: Oh, come on, it’s not like we’re barbarians. We have art and everything!

Normal Ravnican: Really? What kind of art?

FR: uh...murder opera?

Me (on Twitter): Judge! If I cast Kaya's Wrath when I have Teysa out, does she double my other creatures' death triggers?

Judge I know on Twitter: I can't answer that because the set documentation isn't out yet.

Me: Okay, what happens if I cast Languish while my Athreos is a creature?
