Well the price is right

A Greyhawk wizard is weird choice to save the Forgotten Realms honestly, but hey its free

What's up with that double sword? It is giving me 3e early 2000s flashbacks when everyone had some crazy build taking advantage of some strange weapon and your wizard was also Darth Maul. All he needs is 50 more belts to complete the 3e look.

I mean, that's probably what it is - the writer or artist or editor's 3e character from when they were in high-school, reimagined as Mordo.

Mordenkainen has had this sword in official art well before the comic.

Mordenkainen has had this sword in official art well before the comic.

For reference, I believe that picture is from his Magic: the Gathering card. Has he had the double sword in any artwork before then? Or since then, notwithstanding that comic cover?

From the 3e Epic Level Handbook. It's his "staff."

A no so bad teacher. This comics warns Moderkainen isn't native from Toril.

And after reading this I have got some little suspects about how he could end up in that "Barovia".

Do you think we could see "mash-up collabs"? For example a variant version of "My little Pony: Friendship is magic" as ha'ponies (centaurkins like a mixture of halfling and ponies), or a D&D version of the manga "Rooster Fighter" (yes, it is a very fool idea, so much it could be fun). I mean those webcomics could be useful to make those IPs to earn more brand power.

Or a Junji Iro's horror manga set in Ravenloft. Or a group of characters from Fortnite in some Ravenloft domain. It would seem funny and ridiculous in the begining but after...

I miss double bladed swords.

I miss double bladed swords.

Thankfully there's one tucked away in Eberron: Rising from the Last War. It's technically a double-headed scimitar but I like to use it for any and all double-headed slashing weapons. Currently playing a melee warlock in a short Dark Sun game and I'm using it as a stand-in for a Dragon's Paw.

Ironically the Ettin Axe of Uruth appears visually in the newest Forgotten Realms sourcebooks, but it's given no stats.

I've never minded the swords, but that 3e double-axe was just stupid.
