Not that anon. I don't think that's made clear in the lore and it wouldn't make sense since the shards are disconnected.
Grixis is just the result of shit writers being edgy (and not understanding how mana works). It has all sorts of weird implications too (like why creatures in bant and naya die at all without the presence of black mana) All colors of mana help maintain living creatures, plants and ecosystems. Grixis should be something like a dark ocean full of lovecraftian horrors and volcanic island chains.
so other shards waste and refuse would fall into grixis?
Grixis is the dumping ground of Alara and so it has nothing but dead and rot
Id say the worse planes to live in goes
Phyrexia/New Phyrexia- nothing but bio-mechanical body horrors with oil that'll corrupt you into a body horror (that WOTC forgot about)
Amonket- literal wasteland
Dominaria- literally destroyed multiple times by planeswalkers
Kaladesh- social-capitalistic hell that becomes a socialists hell
Ikoria - fat trans frick says its ok if your peaceful family gets killed by his monster cuz they looked at the monster wrong
Alara - shits fricked cuz not enough mana
Theros - can die from just saying "Suns too hot" and helios thinks your talking shit
there literally isnt
that said does the lore ever address why there are so many bones on grixis? No way that many people lived there
Lorelets. Alara used to be whole and was shattered into shards, those shards each losing access to 2 colors of mana. The tragedy of Grixis is that it used to have one of the greatest kingdoms of Alara, but after holding out against greater and greater waves of undead hordes commanded by necromancers seeking to consume any life (the last remaining white/green mana, basically), King Sedris threw open the gates and let the last of humanity on Grixis to be completely consumed by undeath in exchange for dark powers. He'd rather rule in hell, so to speak. That's why there's do many bodies and bones on Grixis, as Alara's likely largest population center was completely wiped out and used for necromancy.
What about why death still happens on the Shards with no Black Mana? How come we don’t see an inverse of the problem with the lack of life energy there, like that other anon mentioned?

Personally, unless the lore says otherwise, I don't think "death" is actually black mana's deal, as death is just the absence of life. However, when black mana gets involved, you see an inverse of life, Undeath, rather than just death itself. Anything can die, but white and green mana animates things in the conventional sense, while black mana animates it in its inverse, the perversion of life. That's what I think, anyways.
I don't get it, if he's going to be rigorously wandering around making hundreds of monster friends and physically climbing all over them, how is he also going to be overweight?

Maybe same way many Ukranians are fat, plenty of deep fried and oily food?
>badass 15-year-old overweight boy >we definitely want him to be overweight and have some wild dyed hair >Mood: all sass, this kid! He's got a hundred monster friends -- just try to mess with him!
There's some good ideas with this, but it tips its hand too far. A child sparking this early and becoming disassociated with their identity to contrast being able to wield incredible power and be near-ageless is never a bad concept... what a shame it's misused.

>Key story moment.
It happened "off-screen" in both the novel and short story.
And it's crazy that kaya manages to do that when other things-that-can-kill-ghosts have try and failed, or successed... and fricked over hundreds of living people from contingencies left in place.
Don't have really have issue with wotc pushing kaya to be bad-ass girl meme. I take issue with her so easily killing all the ghost council. Should have been at least half a book of setup for this kind of event.
Ikoria, to the point it makes no fricking sense there is any civilization there. Humans just don't frick enough to fill the niche they are supposed to occupy.
With all these anons saying phyrexia is worse, I don't think I'd mind being a biomechanical horror once I turn into one. It's just the process of doing so that would suck.
Dominaria is pretty shit. >tfw you're working the salt mines trying to make ends meet >suddenly a magical flying thot crosses the sky, enchanting you, because her thighs are the embodiment of all magic >starve to death trying to follow her over the horizon

>Grixis is a communal toilet
>UBR is a dogshit color combo
Oh no no no no!! Did we get too wienery grixis bros?
Kaladesh would be the worst plane to live on, because it's fantasy India and would smell like shit.
Some Indian posted a blog about how it's basically just Indian paint on a completely unrelated setting though.
Not Indian myself, but Kaladesh would've been far more interesting if it borrowed heavily from Indian folklore and myth instead of LE EBIN STEAMPUNK.
Phyrexia.
Ikoria, imagine your family getting eaten by a monster and a fat rainbow hair overweight badass furry telling you your way of life is wrong
God was Ikoria such a disappointment.
That's just playing fighting games
>fat rainbow hair overweight badass furry
Who is that twat and why hasn't he been killed yet?
>why hasn't he been killed yet?
Hunting down the chucklefricks bonded with the kaiju is an impossible task
Anon...
does anyone have the collage of the nu-mtg cards and the artwork instructions list for the artists
magic cards?
But what is the bonder tax policy that let's them afford all these clothes and hair dye?
Whwn I look at this shit I'm proud I no longer play Magic: the Gathering.

I don't know any MtG planes, but if there's one that's the reverse of everything, then probably that.
I miss Alara like you wouldn't believe.
Same. It and mirrodon and Lorwyn shadowmoor were peak MTG.
jund is bareley any better
At least in jund if you clown yourself into being a big badass it is fine, I am pretty sure even the big honchos in grixis eat shit for a living.
the one with most trannies
So Strixhaven?

Ikoria, to the point it makes no fricking sense there is any civilization there. Humans just don't frick enough to fill the niche they are supposed to occupy.
The Blind Eternities, of course.
If you placed that pic beside a photo from downtown Detroit, noone would be able to see any difference.
Almost nothing "lives" in Grixis.
Innistrad is pretty horrible. Especially when the Eldrazi attacked.
>Innistrad is pretty horrible.
Yeah, and it's not much fun to live in either.
Phyrexia.
With all these anons saying phyrexia is worse, I don't think I'd mind being a biomechanical horror once I turn into one. It's just the process of doing so that would suck.
Dominaria is pretty shit.
