This masterpiece was my personal fill of ambrosia from the set. The set brought with it a lot of incredible images, but one amalgam of eleven artworks has me simply starstruck: the showcase constellations by Jason Engle, featuring all of the Gods and Demigods of Theros. Theros Beyond Death offered its own opportunity to those willing to no longer touch the earth with their feet. In those moments, he was infinite, and the constellations he watched not only put him at the feet of Gods but offered a seat at their banquet table. Yet as we read above there was one thing that swept him off his very well-grounded feet, the stars in the night sky. Ptolemy was a man of science, math and geography, with astronomy chief among them. Since even before the time of Ptolemy, people have looked to the sky to commune with the most powerful beings in their world. Good morning everyone, and welcome to the Mirror Gallery here on Hipsters of the Coast. I know that I am mortal by nature, and ephemeral but when I trace at my pleasure the windings to and fro of the heavenly bodies I no longer touch the earth with my feet: I stand in the presence of Zeus himself and take my fill of ambrosia.
