Thryx, the Sudden Storm embodies the unexpected fury of a tempest in the form of an Elemental Giant, representing both the natural fury of the storm and the ethereal power of the elementals. The card's abilities reflect its stormy nature, swooping in suddenly (Flash) and soaring high in the skies (Flying). It also carries with it the power to bolster more expensive spells, making them not only cheaper but also unassailable.

Mathias Kollros's artwork might depict Thryx as a towering figure, partially comprised of stormy clouds, tempestuous winds, and maybe flashes of lightning intertwined with its form. It would be imposing, with a backdrop of a storm-ridden sky, perhaps contrasting its dark form against brighter lightning or the occasional glimpse of a starry sky beyond. The giant's eyes could be glowing with a vibrant blue hue, making them the focal point and symbolizing its elemental energy.

The flavor text adds depth to Thryx's story, hinting at an encounter or a tale where the Akroans, a warrior people from the realm of Theros, perhaps trespassed Thassa's domain or did something to incur her wrath, and Thryx was the instrument of her retribution.
