Ixalan gets deep with some fresh lore that has implications not just for the Plane but the entire Multiverse both past and present.

Doctor Who is the latest IP to get the Universes Beyond treatment, with Booster Pack products and 4 Commander decks. And with more varied deliveries of UB in the pipeline, Andy and Nathan hit pause on the hype to have a debate about where the concept is now, and how to engage with IP's you may or may not love suddenly being a part of the game...

When talking about a Plane entirely made up of manifested fairy tales, there is no doubt going to be a kingdoms worth of flavour.

Eldraine is once again the palette cleanser set to help us transition away from a larger story arch. But with the Multiverse in ruins after the Phyrexian invasion, what has changed in this Fairy Tale land and can the Narrative enchant us enough to invest this new phase of Magic Story?

March Of The Machine may be Magic's most eclectic set in terms of its theming and flavour, even when compared to most core sets. Spanning multiple Planes, factions and playstyles as well as a brand new card type, this set is a veritable smorgasbord for Andy and Nathan. Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.

Magic's first throw back set has a tricky job of balancing flavour that feels old school, whilst still exciting new players and serving the game 30 years after these themes were last explored. Andy and Nathan take a look at what flavour jumps out to them and also examine what different experiences this set provides each of them. Content Warning: Alcohol Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.

The Side Stories for The Brothers War web fiction are anything but, and are in fact an integral part of MTG's current narrative. The guys comb through these tales of Planeswalkers planning a Multiversal defence against the Phyrexians in a set of stories that feature both some of the best, and an example of maybe the worst, that magic fiction has to offer.

Taking a break from the endless spoiler season, the guys kick back, crack a cold one and watch the footy.

Dominaria United takes us back to Magic's original Plane and so we have another chance to revel in some high fantasy. What cards have captured the guy's imaginations and are Vorthos' ever happy with the balance of flavour? (Apparently not...) Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio. Twitter: MTF- @MTFlavouring, Andy- @AndyMannface, Nathan- @TheFoxintheMoon, Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqEmU7KIqU4Bcwn2RfcJ-yQ

We are now well into the depths of the current Phyrexian narrative arch, with a return to Dominaria to ease us into a year of all the body horror/sci-fantasy/Time Warping nonsense that often accompanies the Phyrexians. The guys cast their new mechanical eyes over the Story for Dominaria United and the events that will forever change some of the characters that have driven Magic's story for years.
