We don't know for sure that she's not... I guess her token is black rather than colorless, but I'm gonna say that's not terribly important.

"that flavor text led some to people to speculate that marit lage might be an eldrazi. silly people."

To be fair, both Marit Lage and the Eldrazi were shamelessy derived from creatures in Lovecraft's mythos. They seem very similar.

It's AKU!

You know, Aku-

The bad guy from Samurai Jack? He starts off in a tree just like that.

Or maybe it's Hexxus from Ferngully?

Boy do I feel like a nerd.
