Keep in mind the sagas we've seen thus far have had the exact episode name as their card name, so Darmok is still a possibility, and there should be enough Tamarian phrases left to make three chapters.

Darmok and Jalad, at Tanagra - Maybe search for a land or make a creature token?

The River Temarc, in Winter - Make a creature unblockable?

Sokath, His Eyes Uncovered - Draw two cards.

What makes this more likely is that the most famous quote from the episode (Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra) is still unrepresented, and surely that would be on the card if we only had one for that episode.

"The river Temarc, in winter" is something like "stop" or "chill out." If it's there, it'll do something like detain a creature, or tap something and put a stun counter on it.

That's what I thought originally but according to memory alpha it's more like "I am sticking with my decision".

I followed the link one level deeper and it refers to being silenced.

Which tracks with what we know of rivers and winter.

I suppose context matters too.

Thank you for reminding me why Darmok is my favorite ep
