Hello.


I just recently got interested in the Tarkir story on [https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/magic-story/unbroken-and-unbowed-2015-04-22 MtGStory.com]. I accidentally read on the last chapter (before reading the rest) that [[Sarkhan Vol]] changed the past. As far as I am concerned, this is a plot flaw. Wikipedia explains that this type of time travel is called "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_paradox#Grandfather_paradox grandfather paradox]" and it violates the self-consistency of the story.

Plot flaws in the Tarkir block

Hello.

I just recently got interested in the Tarkir story on MtGStory.com. I accidentally read on the last chapter (before reading the rest) that Sarkhan Vol changed the past. As far as I am concerned, this is a plot flaw. Wikipedia relates that this type of time paradox is called "grandfather paradox" and it violates the self-consistency of the story. In other words, "changing the past" is scientifically proven to be a plot flaw.

All of this is overthinking, I know, but if you overthink, too, you have to choose:

  • either the authors of the Tarkir story took it very lightly;
  • or the events in the Khans of Tarkir set are non-canon.

I wait for your comments. ---Abacos (talk) 23:39, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
