User blog:Zenas19/First blog, only idea I had

Hello Buddyfighters, Zenas here. My first blog post, had less than no idea what to post, so figured I'd go with something that's been bugging me about a certain card. That card is: '''Fourth Knight of the Apocalypse, Thanatos. '''

What it is that's bugging me is his flavor text. "Through pestilence, I am the deliverer of death."

As for why it bugs me, yes it will sound ridiculous, but I'm a big mythology buff, and while I get Bushi's reasons for it, the wording is wrong and it bothers me.

As we all know, Gratos, Voremos, Aberrucia, and Thanatos are cards referencing the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Gratos is Conquest, Voremos is War, Aberrucia is Famine. Their flavor text reflects this, "Through conquest (war, famine), I am the deliverer of death." They each carry the weapon their corresponding horseman is normally depicted wielding, a bow for conquest, a sword for war, and a scale for famine. Thanatos is wielding a scythe, and riding (as best I can tell), a gray, or pale, horse. And his name, Thanatos, is a reference to the personification of death in greek mythology. Death is usually depicted as the last of the four horseman to appear, riding a pale horse and carrying a scythe. Pestilence is referenced as the first horseman, in place of conquest, more in pop culture than in classical depictions.

Okay, rant almost over. To be faifthul to the myth it references, and continue the pattern of the other cards, Thanatos flavor text would be "Through death, I am the deliverer of death." Which is the only reason it was changed to "pestilence". Okay, rant now officially over, I know that might seem stupid to be bothered by, but again I'm really into mythology. If you read all that, thanks, and if I do a blog post again I'll try and make it more interesting.
