For those not familiar, this is similar map included with the 12-month Magic: The Gathering calendar from 1997.

It doesn't have the regions outlined nor the WUBRG color shading.

Readers, we have a challenge! We want to source this map of Aerona and get a better photo/scan. We know it is

• Different from the 1997 calendar
• Printed 2000 or before
• Maybe from a magazine? Not Duelist; possibly TopDeck 6, 7, 9, or 11

Can you help us track this down?

Congrats on the year Cary! 🥳 What a good result for through-traffic. Thanks for continuing to be a fantastic pillar of the Magic community! Hope 2026 is even bigger and better 🤍💙🖤❤️💚

Cheers, thanks so much! I think I can track that down now that I know where to look.

A detailed map of the continent Aerona. Each region is outlined and shaded with a colour corresponding to the colour of mana found in that region. The image has a solid black header with "Map of Aerona "The Domains" and "Phyrexia.com Copyright 1993-2000 Wizards of the Coast, Inc." The image has a fold line just below the half-way point of the map.

In need of help finding the original source of this map of Aerona and the islands to the east. The base geography is the 1997 calendar version by Tom Wänerstrand but it's had the regions outlined and relabeled and extra labels added.

@ethanfleischer.bsky.social, you don't happen to know, do you?

Congrats Max! Well done!

I always loved the Kindred (née Tribal) card type. It's a shame it ended up causing so many issues in card templating. Hopefully we don't go another 11 years before seeing in cameo again.

This was a great interview. And the games were fun too!

This is a gorgeous piece! Well done!

Thanks for all your help Max! We couldn't do it without you!

Jesse's confused "Wait, this is an ad?" was diabolical. Great watch!

That would be fantastic! Since Gavin stopped doing his videos we have no way of knowing if our information for each event is complete. If there's anything we missed please let us know!

Ooo, this is the first time I've seen this one! Is it from Atlanta?

Asking for the Wiki.

Had just started playing Magic and saw "You control target player's next turn." in Mirrodin spoilers, it goes real hard.

I cannot thank the Scryfall team enough for the work they put in (the vast majority voluntary). You are all awesome!

A Story Halfway Told: On the Through the Omenpaths Flavoring Project Ryan explores the grassroots campaign to add flavor text to digital-only cards.

Please give this article a read and drop by r/mtgvorthos to support TvTs OM1 re-flavoring project.

It's important for the Magic community to pick up WotC's slack if we want the stories they tell to continue to be Magic.

That is genius!

WotC_Jay confirmed in Discord the Arena version of the set doesn't have flavor text. I'm not sure if that means the Magic Online version also lacks flavor text though.

The tenderness coveyed by the composition is amazing! The gentleness of the wing on the palm. The softness of the giant hands. The sword bracelet 😍 This is soooo good.

Yep, Mark does have a word count limit.

He did give his feedback for Assassin's Creed though, he just did it on Blogatog.

Oh hey, you got errata! The copies are now free!
(Also you can trigger off dealing combat damage to any player now, including yourself, not just opponents)

Nah, you're right. It's definitely Tek.
