Something to note, 2018 was an interesting year, you may notice that there are a lot more “blocks” for stories than really any other year. There's a couple of different reasons for this, first they switched from doing 2 big sets and 2 small sets per year to doing 3 big sets and 1 core set.

Dominaria is a weird story for several different reasons. First off, it's written by a guest writer, Martha Wells, who at the time had written several different fantasy novels since the late 90s. Nowadays she's best known for writing the murderbot novellas...

Ixalan is a really incredible story and might be the best one they've done of the modern era. They manage to weave what would normally be “side stories” into the main story relatively seamlessly, with background on all the factions being given and...

Amonkhet is introduced in the kaladesh story as the plane created by nicol bolas. This was something that early mtg story did occasionally, as planewalkers were pseudo-gods and could make entire artificial planes for their own designs.

Basically all the kaladesh-specific characters are quite good. Even the few that are one-note like Kari Zev are decently characterized and provide a lot of worldbuilding. One of the things I wish they did was do some more side-ish stories to flesh out the entire world outside the city of ghirapur...

[Splatoon Raiders] There are currently no plans for DLC or balance updates, according to the game's producer, Seita Inoue. However, an update might be released if any "critical" bugs are found. 🐦 original post

Kaladesh as a setting is generally pretty good. The visual design and aesthetic is stellar, and although the larger worldbuilding sometimes misses the mark in general it's consistant. Gameplay-wise, well, kaladesh was fun to play on it's own…but it really warped standard at the time with artifacts.

Anyway a lot of these stories are really incredible and they range from freaky to frightening. The main plotline, which follows jace, is kinda weird and honestly a bit middling at times, but it takes some serious risks with how it presents jace and I gotta respect it for that.

One of the big things that makes the innistrad story relatively interesting is the mystery of the first set’s story, which isn’t a mystery anymore due to the existence of eldritch moon. It’s relevant to explain how mtg generally sets up plot threads, there’s essentially two ways they do it.

MintyMichael @mintymichael.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Shadows over innistrad is the first return to innistrad, a very well-designed plane story-wise (gameplay-wise it’s pretty good as well). This story is unbelievably good. Just, really incredible. Innistrad is one of the key planes that make up the mtg late 2000s - early 2010s aesthetic.

Oath of the Gatewatch gets a lot of valid criticism for being “planewalkers as superheros”. I feel though that this criticism has become less impactful as time goes on (and as superhero movies get worse and worse). In retrospect 2016 was a great time to jump into the style...

Next up we have the battle for zendikar story (which includes the oath of the Gatewatch stories as well). This is the first return to zendikar, leading off from where the original block ended with rise of the eldrazi.

Overall the main purpose of these stories is to basically ensure that the audience has positive connections to these characters, especially with nissa jace and chandra, since they had more of a mixed “might be evil” interpretation in previous sets I believe...

For some reason the years of 2015 and 2016 are backwards on the official archive, with origins being listed as coming out after zendikar in 2015 and Innistrad after kaladesh in 2016. This is definitely wrong, so much so that reading zendikar before the origins stories really...

The wedges are actually a pretty cool device for world building if you can make it work, the shards are a lot simpler and the dual-color pairs are definitely the easiest to do. Removing the enemy color in dragons of tarkir was certainly an interesting choice,

Back to Tarkir, the main storyline is alright. Sarkhan is a mildly sympathetic character, I really respect MTG for having some characters which are just insane. The big deal with the main story is that Tarkir doesn't have dragons in the first set, because ugin got killed thousands of years ago...

Tarkir is interesting because it leans on a handful of things which happened in other blocks like Alara (2009), the original Zendikar (2010) and original Innistrad (2012). Also maybe some of the plotlines originate in the core set stories? Or the books they wrote for them...

MintyMichael @mintymichael.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
Starting with Tarkir (most) of the storylines were presented through weekly short fiction articles on their website (for like 2 years this was called “uncharted realms i think). These are the primary content which is archived and still mostly how they do their storylines

MintyMichael @mintymichael.bsky.social · 28/06/2026
First thing to go over is how all the MTG story is archived. If you go to the story page on the official website and scroll down to the oldest year in the “year released” tab it sends you to 2014 which has two blocks, Theros (started 2013 and ended 2014) and Tarkir (started 2014 and ended 2015)

So I'm re-reading magic: The gathering story (through their online “story” page on the website) and I figured I'd spend time yapping about it on here. Expect big paragraphs about things from years ago! And obviously spoilers for all that stuff

[Splatoon 2] A prototype build created on Mar 28 (~4 months before the game's release) was found. It was acquired from a devkit that was used internally at Nintendo and (presumably) sent for e-waste recycling. The devkit ended up being listed for sale on a Chinese marketplace.
