Commodore Guff was a very old planeswalker that lived in a hidden library on Dominaria.[1] This library contained every book ever written, including the books that held the destiny of the multiverse.[2]

Description

Guff had a raft of reddish-blond hair, an aggressive beard and eyebrows, and an intent eye behind his foggy monocle. He wore a crimson waistcoat and slim knickers above creamy stockings, perfectly matching his hair and beard.[3][4]

History

He joined Urza on his crusade against Phyrexia as one of the Nine Titans, even though he knew how Phyrexia would win. After the gutting of Phyrexia, Bo Levar discovered Guff had this knowledge and convinced him to change it. Guff erased the important parts since Phyrexia lost the invasion but was killed by Yawgmoth's Black Cloud of Death in a matter of seconds.

Trivia

  • J. Robert King, the writer of the Invasion cycle, based Guff on Scott McGough, the writer of several Magic novels and the leader of the Storyline Department at the time. Although some people found Guff quite amusing, others were annoyed by his constant breaking of the fourth wall.
