This week we have a never before attempted double-feature of the Vorthos Cast! We're starting off with a history of Elspeth, one of Magic's most storied heroes with the least amount of actual story. We cover everything in her life, from her first planeswalk to her first death. Then, we move on to a summary and discussion of the first three episodes of the Streets of New Capenna story by Elise Kova! What's going on in this mysterious city with its gilded skyscrapers surrounded by the lost history of Phyrexian devastation?

Modern Horizons 3 previews are underway, and as with previous Modern Horizons sets there are so many deep lore references and stories to be told! This week we're tackling the five transforming planeswalker cards from the set and what we know about these characters and how their sparks ignited.

We're taking one last look back into the sunset as we wrap up all discussions about Outlaws of Thunder Junction in an interview with the author herself, Akemi Dawn Bowman! You may remember Bowman's work back in Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, where she wrote about a young man trying to find someone he'd lost while getting wrapped up in a multi-planar story featuring a villain's first-time story appearance and another villain's return to story after many years away. She does it again in OTJ, and we're here to ask her all about it!

We've got Roy Graham, Story Lead at Wizards of the Coast for Magic, on the podcast this week to talk about leading the story through the omenpaths and into a new era, including creating and growing Kellan, setting up the BIG reveal, and what we can expect going forward.

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.
