Will there be a Red/White/Green Hierarch?
General forum

The Alara block featured Noble Hierarch ; later, Modern Horizons 2 introduced Ignoble Hierarch , and both of those are excellent creatures, but I noticed that they are both green, despite green not being the central color of either shard that those creatures represent, so I find myself wondering if there shall be a hierarch that is red, white, and green, representing the Naya shard of Alara.
What does everyone else say about this? Will there eventually be a red/white/green hierarch?

RaidenShogun69 it was a little off-putting. As to why Naya... well, the other two Hierarchs are in Shard colors, not Wedges, and Naya is the only other Shard with green.

I hope so and given the shard it represents chances are it will be an elf and we all know elves need more powerful mana dorks!

shadow63, why not?
RaidenShogun69, I am asking the other users here to promote conversation and speculation, which I feel is the best thing to do when it is not a spoiler season.

I doubt it. See, Noble was created as yet another variation on Birds of Paradise , being one of the few that can tap for multiple colors, but it had Bant's mechanic of Exalted slapped on to it. We see this sort of thing happen every once in a while -- one or two mana creature that adds mana, but relies on a set mechanic, in rare or mythic -- and they range from okay to very good. Noble made plenty of sense to create.
Ignoble was created in a set that wants to mess around a lot. We got color shifted versions of several cards, suspend versions of several cards(some of them color shifted), etc. It made sense to make the "opposite" of Noble.
But now that there are two of this effect, and they cover all colors between them, there's not really a reason to make another one, unless Wizards specifically wants to make Naya/Sultai/Temur/Abzan creature decks more supported, and even then there are other potential options that can change how those color combos are played.

I actually think one might come out, eventually. Not any time soon. It took more than 10 years to get the second one. Check back in 2034.

RaidenShogun69 that was an unnecessarily dickish response. As for your question DemonDragonJ odds are it'll happen but I doubt we'll see it any time soon. Maybe when we return to Alara.
