>>14733652Yeah, I guess Gix was pretty big in The Thran, but I feel like he's gotten an awful lot of attention because he had cards named after him. I'm pretty sure Croag was a praetor too, big whoop.
I believe the wiki article is under some confusion because Lynn Abbey was kind of vague, but there was a big damn explosion after which Urza is certain that Gix isn't around any more. At a stretch, you could interpret the book to mean that Gix had been somehow thrown into the past, however it really just sounds like Urza's planning to go back in time and try to fuck up the Yawgmoth, Gix and the rest of the Phyrexians in the time of the Thran, before they really get going. Cue Tolaria.
I can post the bit if you want, kind of tired and lazy.
