The Big Winner of Essentials

[Herschel]

Mike Mearls now ruined metal.

Is there no depth to which he won't sink?

 

[JohnSnow]

Random speculation: does this mean that Athas used to be plagued with an infestation of Rust Monsters? Could THAT be why it's so metal poor?

 

[Theroc]

John:
Random theory.

Constant defiling turned local creatures into rust monsters because plantlife was so scarce. Once they devoured all the metal(or destroyed it), Athas was left a barren wasteland that couldn't support them so they died off, leaving little trace of their existence.

Another random theory:
On Athas, it's a dust monster, not a rust monster. Where did you think the Sea of Silt came from?

A few more mutations and nothing will be safe from them...

I didn't know Mike Mearls was in Van Halen.

a long time ago I had an idea for a green and pleasant land w/out metal...

the rational was that some mad archmage (hey they created the Owlbear so....) created tiny insect-tiny rust monster....

now could you think of cloud of rust monster loosed in the air... (think of locusts only eating metal).... this could be also a nice Swarm monster
