	So, what's the big deal with this Immortal Sun malarkey? Well, as usual, it all stems back to a couple of [[Planeswalker\|Oldwalkers]] fucking things up for everybody.		So, what's the big deal with this Immortal Sun malarkey? Well, as usual, it all stems back to a couple of [[Planeswalker\|Oldwalkers]] fucking things up for everybody.

	See, around 1300 years ago, the [[sphinx]] planeswalker Azor and the [[dragon]] planeswalker [[Ugin]] got together to discuss their mutual hatred for another dragon planeswalker: the infamously dickish [[Nicol Bolas]]. Determined to put an end to his long career of douchebaggery, they came up with what they thought would be the perfect plan: finding a suitably unimportant backwater world in the middle of multiversial nowhere (aka, Ixalan), they extracted Azor's planeswalker Spark and used it to create a powerful magical item, the Immortal Sun, which could be used both to forcibly summon a planeswalker and to turn an entire plane into an inescapable prison for planeswalkers. Ugin would go to [[Tarkir]] to lure Nicol into a confrontation, allowing Azor to know where to aim and thusly he could zap Nicol into Ixalan and trap him there. Then Ugin and Azor could use the Immortal Sun to free Azor from Ixalan and restore Azor's spark, leaving Nicol confined to Ixalan forever.

	Naturally, it went completely tits up. Nicol had already been looking for Azor to kick his ass just because, and so he found out about their plans. On Tarkir, Nicol beat Ugin like a drum, kicking his ass so thoroughly that if it weren't for the assistance of a time-displaced planeswalker who sealed Ugin away in a protective shell of stone to recover, the Spirit Dragon would have died. Azor, meanwhile, was left stranded in Ixalan.		Naturally, it went completely tits up. Nicol had already been looking for Azor to kick his ass just because, and so he found out about their plans.
