The Vorthos Cast

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. If you'd like to support our podcast, please do!

The March of the Machine left holes in the very fabric of the multiverse, and the future looks uncertain in big and small ways. We're taking this week to discuss what these changes might mean for the future of the multiverse and its inhabitants. What does a future of Omenpaths look like? How does knowledge of a multiverse challenge the foundation of a plane's religions? We'll find out soon enough, but for now, we speculate!

Don is an incredible source of Lord of the Rings lore facts on TikTok, and also just a delightful human being. In what turned into one of our longest episodes yet, we talk about Lord of the Rings, Magic: the Gathering, a little Warhammer, and aside about what it means to be positive in a culture so inundated with negativity, and then Loreley gives a full plot summary of Foulmere, the Magic short story that gives us the planeswalker Vram.

We were unable to record a regular episode of the podcast this week, so Chris reached out to friend of the show and former Magic Story writer, Yichao, who lapsed out of following the story after War of the Spark and wanted a "quick" rundown of what he's missed.

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 year of 2022 comes to a close! With some of the greatest Magic story content in recent history, 2022 was an incredible year for Vorthoses around the world. We get the whole cast together before our mandated two-week paid holiday vacation time. We discuss our thoughts on all the juicy story content that started with Kamigawa and ended with a sibling rivalry for the ages. If you enjoy our show, thank you! We really do deeply appreciate it when you tell us you like the show or show it to your friends.

That's some free gift advice from your ol' pal, editor Chris. It's a real cheap and easy way to give two gifts at once. Anyways, this is our last episode until January when we'll be back to talk about Jay's new book and Phyrexia: All Will Be One! You can hang out with us on Discord, but you won't get any new episodes for a few weeks.

The story of the Antiquities War, the war between Urza and Mishra, between the two brothers whose conflict shaped the future of Dominaria and the multiverse as we know it, is well documented. Records of their battles and the machinations have been held close for millennia. But this story, the five episodes written by Miguel Lopez, tell the story of the war outside of the lives of the two brothers, the war that ravaged the land of Terisiare and its people for decades. This is what happens in those stories, though you should read them yourselves. If you want to support the podcast, consider joining our Patreon at Patreon.com/TheVorthosCast.

This week, Brian and Chris are left alone to tell you the story of the first Phyrexian invasion, the one detailed in the Invasion block of sets and the Invasion novels: the end of Urza Planeswalker, the end of Yawgmoth, the beginning of Phyrexia's long, slow crawl back to Dominaria's shores in Dominaria United.

Once upon a time, long ago, a man used a powerful artifact to lay waste to an opposing army and most life on an entire continent. He then went on to be even worse. This week we're telling the story of Urza from the sylex blast to the beginning of the Weatherlight Saga. As they say, if it wasn't for Yawgmoth, Urza would be the greatest villain in Dominarian history... If you, too, want to dunk on Urza and support our show, you can join us on Patreon at www.patreon.com/thevorthoscast!

This week we're joined by the one and only Amanda Stevens, an expert in all things Zhalfir, to talk Jamuraa, Teferi, and all the mistakes made by wizards and Wizards that's left this slice of Dominaria out of the story for decades.

While it's one of the hottest summers on record, we're keeping it cool by talking all about The Ice Age, one of the lesser known periods in Magic's history. From the moment Urza detonates a magical nuke to well after one of his descendants smashes a mirror on some task mage's head, we discuss the thousands of years of history that got Dominaria from The Brothers' War to the plane as we mostly know it still today.
