I just wonder though. Knowing all that good stuff that happened, although hard to take, would make any commander happy. Hell if that happened in my games I would be yelling Oh Yeah as if I were Kool-Aid himself.
Does he know what is supposed to happen after this plan that will negate everything? It was a plan he formulated before he was summoned as he himself stated. So would an outside the box plan have an outside the box consequence?
Or better yet does he just know that this was supposed to happen and realizes how much of erfworld is really his own?
