We're joined this week by the incredible Cassandra Khaw! Cass has written for Magic before Tarkir: Dragonstorm, but this is their first time writing the main set story, to huge success!

336 - The Clans of Tarkir: Dragonstorm

Apr 06 2025 68 mins

With the stories finished, we can now delve deep into the world of Tarkir as it is now, a world ruled by five clans once more, but very different from both the world before the dragonlords and the world that never was. Each clan's identity has evoled tremendously, so we go deep into the Planeswalker's Guides to give you an overview of who they are, how they work, and what roles the

It's our final episode covering the stories of Tarkir Dragonstorm, and this time we're wrapping up the side stories! We're talking Sultai, we're talking Temur, and believe it or not we're talking Mardu, too! How do these side stories help tell the overall story of a Tarkir finding its past? Well, with the help of three excellent authors they do it very well! Read "Sultai: Betrayal

We've reached the end of the main story of Tarkir: Dragonstorm, and what an ending it is!

Mar 07 2025 58 mins

The story for Tarkir: Dragonstorm has started, and we're jumping right in this week with the first three episodes! We return to the world of Tarkir where the clans have reasserted themselves against a thousand years draconic dominance. But while the clans have achieved independence, not all is peaceful for the world of dragons. Storms are brewing that threaten not only Tarkir, but

331 - The Dragons of Tarkir

Feb 28 2025 62 mins

Last week we glimpsed a Tarkir that never was, and now we will see what truly became of Tarkir. Five ruling clans of dragons control the plane, with humanoids as little more than servants. But these dragon clans were shaped around the past, and what they share in common with the humanoid clans they once conquered is as fascinating as what they have rejected from the past. If you'd

330 - The Clans of Old Tarkir

Feb 21 2025 67 mins

This week we're existing in a state of being and non-being, living in a canon that is dead, exploring the potentiality of what once was. What I mean is we're talking about the clans of Tarkir as seen in the set Khans of Tarkir, all of which was wiped out of reality by time travel! But these clans give us insight into what the new Tarkir may look like. You can read more about the n

This week we're using data from MTGLore.com to answer the question: What is the most popular Magic story?

328 - The Flavor Gems of Aetherdrift

Feb 07 2025 72 mins

We're hitting the refreshments stand at the Ghirapur Grand Prix and coming away with a heaping armful of delicious flavor gems! Aetherdrift is a set that goes full speed with racing tropes, but there's more to this set than blue shells and pileups. We talk legends, story spotlights, and cards that really show off the worlds of Avishkar, Muraganda, and Amonkhet! If you'd like to jo
