We're back! After a long holiday break, the cast is back together with a very special author interview: Jay Annelli, author of Magic the Gathering: The Visual Guide, an in-depth exploration of Magic's lore full of character details, gorgeous art, and even some hints at the upcoming return to New Phyrexia.

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.

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.
