Being a Wyll Ravengard fan is rough. He has the least amount of content of all the origin companions in Baldur’s Gate 3, and the conclusion of his storyline isn’t treated with as much significance as everyone else’s. Hell, Larian hasn’t even fixed the issue causing him to have voice lines from a totally different actor play while you’re controlling him.
So, seeing that he’s missing out on the latest Magic: The Gathering x Baldur’s Gate 3 crossover is hardly surprising at this point, especially since only two companions are in the spotlight this time, Shadowheart and Gale. It is, however, pretty strange to see that one of them has a card that is heavily Wyll-inspired, with Shadowheart depicted in a scene that looks a whole lot like the warlock’s personal quest.
Why Is Shadowheart Fighting Ansur In This MTG Set?
In the Shadowheart set, the Ancient Bronze Dragon card shows the fan-favourite cleric going up against Ansur, the final boss in Wyll’s questline. While technically, you don’t need Wyll around to complete the quest, it is still part of his story, and the fight can only be unlocked if you pay attention to his side quests. So, fans were quick to notice when this moment was given to another character, especially when Wyll is already incredibly overlooked.
“There’s one companion who getting Ansur would make perfect sense for. It’s part of his main quest, his literal Dad tells you to go there,” says Reddit user Tonedeafmusical. “But nope, no Wyll. But I’m sure if he gets a pack, Mizora will be more prominent than him in half the deck.”
“Mistreated by Larian and even MtG,” agrees GoneRampant1 “Feel like Lae’zel and Wyll will never get this treatment,” says tahubob.
Now, it is possible that Lae’zel and Wyll are next in line to get their own sets. I say this because Astarion and Karlach got their own sets in 2024, so there’s a chance that MTG is just taking it two companions at a time – it just sucks that Wyll is last once more, and his personal quest has already been represented by another character entirely. Wonder how long it will take until we have the whole gang together, anyway?
