The Gatewatch/Visions and prophecies
The story of the Gatewatch was mapped out in the Bolas Arc. This allowed the writers to weave in some visions and prophecies that would come true in later chapters. It is expected that eventually all elements of the prophecies will come about.[1]
Nissa's visions
On Amonkhet, Nissa Revane experienced several visions sent by Kefnet in The Hand that Moves.[2]
| Vision | Event |
|---|---|
| A dark snake, winged and venomous, cast its shadow upon the desert. The snake was huge, bigger than an oak, bigger than a forest of oaks. Its shadow covered the whole world. | Nicol Bolas, arriving on Amonkhet to take control of the plane. |
| The shadow spoke, its voice rumbling across the empty desert. "They would take away my power. They would take away what makes me me. This I will not abide. | Bolas voices his outrage at the efforts of other planeswalkers to seal the time rifts, bringing about the Mending and taking away his god-like power. |
