This is one of our most exciting episodes yet! The cast chats with Story Lead for Magic the Gathering Roy Graham about how the story is made and the trials of March of the Machine and its Aftermath. We get answers to some of the most pressing community questions, including why the narrative was best served by the Great Desparkening and how the future of story opens up with the Omenpaths.

We'll be back next week with more Magic Story 101! And if you're confused why we bring up pineapples so much in this episode, it's our codeword for when interviewees want us to cut the conversation to avoid any major spoilers. No pineapples were cut in the making of this episode.

Leisure

With Modern Horizons 3 on, well, the horizons, we're turning our vast and endless eye upon the story of the Eldrazi, cosmic horrors from the blind eternities whose purpose--if it exists--remains unknown. To know your enemy, you must know their history, and this week we'll discuss the story of the Eldrazi in Magic, as well as what we know to be true about these terrors from beyond the thin veil of reality.

293 - Modern Horizons: What are the Eldrazi?

We're rustlin' up some grub with the flavor gems of Thunder Junction!

Bring your own tin can and we'll serve up some answers on this week's episode.

292 - The Flavor Gems of Thunder Junction

The ending has come to Outlaws of Thunder Junction, and it brings with it the start of something new. This week we're covering the two-part epilogue to the Outlaws of Thunder Junction story and the real ending of the Omenpath Arc of Magic Story, finally getting answers for Jace and Vraska's escape from Phyrexian influence and their plans for the future of their family and the multiverse. We also discuss some of our thoughts about this arc in general, and specifically the state of Magic story as it goes into the Dragonstorm Arc.

291 - Bring the End to Outlaws of Thunder Junction

The main story of Outlaws of Thunder Junction is finished, but before we can watch our outlaws ride off into the sunset, we have to tell tale of Annie Flash with "Blood Is Thicker Than Venom" by H. E. Edgmon. Then we see what happens when you put the most untrustworthy scoundrels of the multiverse together for one big job, and you know it ain't a happy ending.

290 - Outlaws of Thunder Junction, Ep. 5, 6, and Blood is Thicker than Venom

The train's pulling up to the station and you have to face the choice: Do you listen to us discuss episodes 3 and 4 of the main story and the side story "A Pleasant Family Outing," or do you tuck tail and run away? We're continuing our discussions of the Outlaws of Thunder Junction stories by Akemi Dawn Bowman this week with the two main story episodes, "A Train to Prosperity" and "Finding Tarnation." But halfway through "Finding Tarnation," we got waylaid by the dastardly Seanan McGuire once again with her side story, "A Pleasant Family Outing"!
