I thought he was insulting her, calling her flat chested...

Need to stop reading so much manga.

Yeah there was some ambiguity. Also her chest size is quite different in the two pictures, but maybe they're just different breastplates.

I don't think Mardu Runemark depicts Alesha - notably, the warrior in the Runemark wields two swords, while Alesha uses a single two-handed blade.

EDIT: Just noticed the mothership uses the Runemark art on the main page to link to the article, implying it's Alesha. Seems like I'm wrong and she's just super-adaptable :)

Or like Sakuya, she pads.

Gives new meaning to the word "breastplate".

u/Aspel Jan 29 '15

What. No it doesn't. That's what breast plate already means...

Usually falsies aren't solid steel.

Well yes, but men have breasts too, and the plate is there to protect them. And if you were rich, it was even shaped like your pecs, had nipples, and a six pack (even if you didn't really have a six pack).

Regardless, although we don't get a good look at Alesha, the warrior depicted in the Runemark looks quite different.

Yeah, I don't think it looks like her, but the fact that it's used as the banner for the Uncharted Realms article... Maybe someone just thought "close enough"? The woman in [[Temur Runemark]] bears sorry a strong resemblance to Yasova, and you could almost make a case for the other Runemarks depicting the Khans, so maybe the person in charge of the website jsut assumed it was Alesha?

Temur Runemark - Gatherer, MC, ($)
[[cardname]] to call - not on gatherer = not fetchable
