The story of Reality Fracture, and thus the story of Jace Beleren, comes to an end in today's episode. We see the Theorist flex his omniscience as he attempts to overlay his echoverse over the multiverse, and we see as he fails. And then we all cry. A lot.

Jace shattered at the end of Tarkir Dragonstorm, and as he has become the Theorist he has continued to jettison the parts of himself that would stand in his way of restarting the multiverse. In episodes 7 and 8 of the Reality Fracture story, we see Jace's friends and comrades (and Garruk) scramble through his memories to find those pieces of himself in order to stop the Theorist from ending everything. Along the way, they learn more about themselves in return.

The story of Reality Fracture, written by Alison Lührs, will go down in history as one of the greatest Magic stories of all time. While the story is posted in full at MTGStory.com, today we're discussing episodes 4, 5, and 6. Our multiverse's defenders arrive in the Echoverse to face off against the Theorist, Jace with no inhibitions, to stop his plan to overwrite all of existence. Things do not go well for them. Meanwhile, Tam, the Theorist's enigmatic creation, visits Innistrad, where she encounters an old, dear friend of the mind sculptor.

Wow there's a lot to talk about here! Mystery Booster: Commander Edition has 51 new legendary creatures (50 if you don't count the Alchemy card!) and most of them are deep cuts to Magic's history. We talked about 9 planeswalkers last week, and this week we only get through 13 of the legendary creatures before running out of time! This is going to be a multi-part flavor gems, and right now we can't say how many parts it'll be!

This week's topics are Ulgrotha, Otaria, and the Weatherlight Saga!

Mystery Booster: Commander Edition is a surprise Vorthos hit this year, as the convention-only booster set has 59 totally new cards in it, including nine planeswalkers!

Jace has created his own model multiverse, an echo of our own, where existential threats like Nicol Bolas, the Eldrazi, and Phyrexia never existed. In addition, he has gathered together the reflections of planeswalkers from the true multiverse whose histories have diverged in significant ways. These planeswalkers, known in our world as the Lorwyn Five, are key to Jace's plan to assert control of the multiverse and impose his vision on reality. We're here to tell you the true origins of the Fractured Five (and Vraska) and where their lives were fractured in the Echoverse.
