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.

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 ๐Ÿ˜ 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.

Elemental tokens

Do the abilities of a token make them seperate shapes? At last count we had 41 on the Wiki.

My fave is always the self-coping tokens from Spawnwrithe. But I love ridiculous token shenanigans.

From the test card pile, I submit
Rankle, Master of Pranksters

Going by Un-rules, yes.
Either the card has no expansion symbol (in which case it can't be any colour, let alone silver, gold, orange or purple) *or* it does have one (the "R") and it is decidedly not silver, gold, orange or purple.

Phyrexian aside, I don't think they've done a pronunciation guide since 2015.

Well, outside of Mark answering Blogatog questions, anyway.

Canonically? There's Karn's existential crisis on Beast of Burden (Urza's Legacy). Not sure if it's addressed in any of the novels though.

I also encourage people to vote for their favourites at

It started out as one Reddit user's pet project but I just think it's neat!

What's your all-time favorite flavor text?

"Altered by Phyrexian science, corrupted by black mana, and twisted by rage, Ertai still looked in the mirror and saw only glory."

@wotcmatt.bsky.social, given the Indigo Revolution changed the name of the plane, would Ghirapur's plane type be getting an errata with Aetherdrift's release?

I've got a sharpie ready and I'm not afraid to use it ๐Ÿ˜‚

This was a great look at a little slice of forgotten Magic history. Will watch again!
