254 - Magic Story 101: Where To Start

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! Were you wondering about some of these Western tropes, curious about how many of these legends have been seen round these parts before, or just want to know where you can get some Halo out on the range? 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"!
