The Finisher

The Vorthos community has that new mother glow thanks to the news from the recent Magic story "Whispers of Treachery" that Nicol Bolas disguised himself as a pregnant woman while in human form, adding to the rumor that the Elder Dragon can reproduce through parthenogenesis (like Godzilla). Then the pregnant momma train kept rolling when the art from a Guilds of Ravnica booster box art shows Vraska the Gorgon planeswalker with a little Jacey baby bump showing through. Well we're all on board the baby train, so which one of Magic's characters do you want to see get knocked up next?
