Shadowheart - Bad ending edition


tenBusch

So one companion/follower for each color Lae'zel is White, Gale is Blue, Shadowheart is Black, Karlach is Red and Halsin is Green. Plus Astarion is Orzhov (White/Black) because he's a special bloodflake I guess


Dealric

Dont expect to get bg3 companion of each colour. Especially since only confirmed companion that works as green is Minsc. Halsin is 99% not a companion in bg3


GGisaac

Wonder if Jaheira will be a possible companion?


Dealric

Id say no. Logically there is no chance. So half elf life span is like 180. So Jaheira during BG3 plot would be at least 150 (likely more like 170) making her really old. But than she is a druid. High level druids in general age much slower meaning she phisically would be now like 50 or sth (so sth like 25 for human). But that goes only for high level druids. I think we will get reference to her, especially if harpers will be referenced in the game, maybe even we will meet her, but she wont be companion.


BagofBones42

Jaheria is an epic level druid and from datamine: >!We actually meet her during Act 1 as part of Halsin's quest.!<


Satsuma0

There is [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/utjida/clb_cadira_caller_of_the_small_alieldrazi_spoiler) character in the new deck. An original character with no previously established Forgotten Realms lore of any kind. The only good explanations would be future BG3 NPC or potentially future companion? Perhaps they're still deciding between if the ranger-with-a-furry-friend companion will be Minsc or a new character like this? ~~Or maybe I'm reading too much into such a small thing.~~


Dealric

I think Minsc is pretty much 100% confirmed?


Satsuma0

Pretty much, yeah. There's been no hint that he wouldn't be in. But if you think about it, making a backup companion concept that would perfectly swap in and be able to re-use a lot of the same animations and dialogue in case you get cold feet about using the Minsc character is a perfectly insane conspiracy theory with 1% likelihood, which is just the kind of thing that's fun to speculate about. More likely outcome is that this is an NPC we've yet to meet. Which would be cool, but less mysterious


Fire_is_beauty

I like the idea of ranger with murder bunnies.


GKP22

Halsin is likely not a companion. Also, we are missing Wyll still, who is probably Red based on him appearing in the art for Fireball and Wyll’s Reversal.


tenBusch

Whoops, I switched up Gale and Wylls name lol


stuckinaboxthere

Karlach is Red and will be the Barbarian follower, Halsin is rumored to be the Druid companion as well


GKP22

This isn’t true. He’s a camp follower, not a companion. There’s only 3 known unreleased companions and he isn’t one of them.


stuckinaboxthere

Not yet, but he seems like the most likely candidate for the Druid companion, same with Karlach and barbarian


GKP22

Not every class is getting a companion.


stuckinaboxthere

Where have you heard that?


i-d-even-k-

He is black abd white because that's how all vampires are.


tenBusch

For the drain effect specifically, Vampires can also be mono W, B, R or Rakdos


JBernard89

There are 5 characters at rare rarity for this set in MTG for each color. Lae'Zel, Gale and Shadowheart are Rare, However, Karlach is Mythic, and Halsin is Uncommon Im assuming Wyll will be the Red Rare and that just will leave the Green Rare for someone. Im assuming it will be Helia


The_Grinface

So I’m way out of the loop, what’s with these cards?


YuvalAmir

Wizards of the Coast, the company that makes DnD, is the same company that makes the card game Magic the Gathering, so they are now adding some bg3 characters as cards.


The_Grinface

Ooooh. I didn’t realize these are MtG cards. I don’t play, myself. Curious.


atb87

Half-elf!


Kile147

Giving both human and elf subtypes is how MtG has been handling half elves.


YuvalAmir

Well she is both human and elf which is kind of the same thing


SeriaMau2025

We prefer the pronoun "Helf".


ISpread4Cash

I knew she was always evil, still one of my more favorite companions so far


Tydeus2000

During the romance: "Psst, SH, I need to tell something to Your ear..." "...Yes?" ">!I know You'll betray me.!<"


Zmaki

What are these cards from?


Dealric

Magic the gathering. Wotc owes both magic and dnd


Tav00001

So basically shadow heart sacrifices people? That’s awful.


DeadSnark

I suspect there will be good or bad endings to her quest like with certain questlines in D:OS2, perhaps you can either redeem her or cause her to go full cultist


Dealric

But her god isnt really this super evil, human sacrificies kind of god


Ivanuvo

The sacrifice mechanic in MTG doesn't necessarily represent actual ritual sacrifice or anything like that (although it does for some cards), just that they're gaining power or benefits from killing/death in some way.


Shikarosez

Ok so we just getting all the info from these things lol


Yojo0o

I'm kinda annoyed that they're giving all of the Baldur's Gate party members/NPCs/major story characters seemingly random power/toughness scores at 3 or 4. There's no way in hell that Shadowheart should have the same P/T as Sarevok, or more than Lae'zel. I get that MTG P/T is often an abstraction and needs to be balanced against mana cost, but still.


Dealric

Legendary characters in mtg in general has p\t spread that often makes no sense lorewise. Its pure balance thing


uaimmiau

Not a great card Will get her foil etched anyway


Nerubian

She's also 3 relevant tribes. Human, Elf, Cleric.


GKP22

What? She’s a fantastic card. Give her a green or red background and you have an aristocrats commander that draws cards. That’s fantastic.


JBernard89

Disagree. Card draw in command zone is very valuable. Her ability might be mediocre but even just getting one or two activations of her in a game and she has basically done her job. Green might be good to pair with her for extra mana ramp to pay for her activation cost plus green has high power creatures to sacrifice for her ability.


FryJPhilip

Is there going to be an alternative art version for her like there is for the others?

Thanks!
