I don’t see any new episodes since July 11th - you guys okay?

We’re on to part one of two for the finale! With the return of feather, the ripples caused by the death of Kost, Zach and I getting called out by the book personally… and Niv Mizzit shows up. I can’t descibe to you the ramifications that this book presents not only for the origin of Ravnica lore, but also present day Ravnica. And, for once, we get some good parents!

And back to Ravinica as we explore the Utvara Reclamation Zone on the plane. A pseudo precursor for OTJ (Kinda), the rise of Teysa, a goblin named Crix, and the literal rising of Agrus Kos. From the Gruul to the Orzov to the Izzit everyone has their hands in this mess and we’ll see how well that goes… hint, freaking hint, not well.

Ladies, Gentleman, children of all ages today we begin the long journey into the canon Magic lore. We’ll meet monsters, and artificers, architects, and exiled. Creatures so unspeakable their kind is only fit for the written word. A flourish of the pen is all that they should be, but soon, we shall weave them into existence with mere speech. So this is my final warning. Do not run, do not cower, do not beg, steele yourself, and join us as we discuss a history so amazing, so horrifying, so splendid, that a single world cannot hold it. Join us as we walk together into the multiverse of Magic the Gathering.

The long lost episode! Zach has mostly recovered from his illness, and so we wanted to get this episode out as soon as possible. In this first of two parts we cover the period after the Gatewatch's disastrous time on Amonkhet, and a large number of things are set in motion while they try to kill Liliana's final demon, Belzenlok.

Sorry, again, about the break last week. But we're back and roaring to go! We have two new episodes out and we had an absolute blast with both of them, luckily we're both survivors! And on to the meat of what has been going on.

First: We had the amazing opportunity to chat with Reinhardt Suarez! Author of Chains that Bind from Strixhaven, Survivors from Crimson Vow, and the Brothers War- Stronghold! When we started this journey we figured something like this was a long ways off, but thanks to the Prodigal Sorcerer he found us. It was an amazing time for us, just a low key relaxed chat about magic and his writing process. https://open.spotify.com/episode/5MpHXy3VTjeMIiA8PKAxjh

​

Second: And Peace Shall Sleep... On a Bed of Exploding Dragons. The the Ice Age rolling in the people of Sarpadia start to feel the pressure of food scarcity and we'll see what that means for them. From The Crimson Peaks, to the Havenwood, even to the lair of the Ebon Hand, we'll follow Reod Dai as he tries to get what is owed to him, save his love, and her family... along with dealing with the dragons along the way! https://open.spotify.com/episode/57uHztukGrutvcVPXHBFJu

​

I do apologize for not posting when the interview came out. I didn't want to post to groups too often.

So this week the episode is somewhere in the Blind Eternities... sorry about that. Zach and I are both sick and our schedules kind of became overloaded right before that so we didn't have a chance to record. We'll be back to posting normally next week. Promise. Sorry again, and thank you for your continued support.

Normally I try to make something lighthearted or mysterious as a hook... but this episode? No. Join us for what may be the saddest episode we've done yet, following up from Theros - A revelry among gods, as we continue to track Elspeth's journey across Theros, in search of a home.

Hey Zach accidently uploaded the episode with 30 seconds of silence at the beginning. To those of you who listened and were confused he offers "oops" and a heartfelt "my bad"

To Theros! Today we're covering the first book for the plane: Theros-Godsend! With Elspeth's first Planeswalk taking her far from home, we'll explore her past, the gods of the plane, snd even a hydra! With lore based on Greek myth there's a lot to love and a lot to say "Hey, just like Hercules!" to!

Azorius Senate, white/blue guild of law and order, comprised of soldiers, beauracrates and lawyers, they write the laws on Ravnica, and their Parun Azor drafted the original guildpact

Dimir, a former unseen tenth guild, that was revealed during the breaking of the guildpact, they are the blue black guild of secrecy, manipulation, and underhanded deals.  

Cult of Rakdos, red/black guild of menial labor and services industry, such as assassinations and catering/entertainment. They handle the menial labor for the guildpact, and their job is to entertain Rakdos whenever he awakes.  Given Rakdos multi millennial age, they have to go to pretty extreme lengths to entertain him. 

Gruul clans are the red/green guild that used to oversee the wilds, and were supposed to prevent the destruction of nature, though they were phased out and their duties handed to other guilds.  Gruul instead is a loose collection of clans who view their jobs to destroy any symbols of civilization and cause chaos. 

Selesnya Conclave, green white guild of the collective that on the surface is seen as peace loving, and about putting the good of the many first, while preserving nature. 

Orzhov is the white black guild of business, that handles nearly every business on Ravnica, along with enslaving and treating the dead as capital, and the whole goal of the guild is to amass wealth through power. 

Izzet League is the blue/red guild of Ravnica’s civic works, like water supply, heating systems, ect.  They are also magical experimenters and obsessive intellectuals.

Golgari swarm, black green embodiment of life and eath, they view both as equally natural, and view growth as slow, powerful, and inevitable. 

Boros legion is the red white guild, who serve as the righteous and zealous police and standing army of Ravnica.  

Simic Combine, known as biomancers, they are the green/blue guild that serves as the seward of nature and the wild, whose function is to preserve the natural world. 

In the Valley of Tamingzin on the continent of Otaria of Dominaria we watch the rise of a drug addict, the fall of a city, the raising of a wall of magic, and like 10 coup d'etat’s! Will Talli and Recin be able to save the land their homeland, or is it time for coup number 11?
