How has Lorwyn-Shadowmoor changed since our first visit? We're digging in on major highlights from the Planeswalker's Guide to understand how the world has fared, and what aurora-evading trickery awaits on the twinned plane. To close our discussion, we indulge in a healthy dose of story speculation for Lorwyn Eclipsed and the finale year of this arc.

362 - Welcome to Lorwyn
With Lorwyn Eclipsed on the horizon, we turn our attention to the plane of faeries and boggarts, elves and kithkin, and its shadowy second self, Shadowmoor. To get everyone prepared for this field trip, we've put together an overview of the worldbuilding of the plane as it was, before the end of Oona's reign and the invasion of Phyrexia.

360 - Flavor Gems of Through the Omenpaths
This is an unusual Flavor Gems episode for us, as this is an unusual set for Magic! We're exploring the planes (and the Edge of those planes) this week to talk about the online exclusive Through the Omenpaths set! This set is a reskin of the Marvel's Spider-Man set, presenting a challenge to the creative team behind it to somehow make 25 unique representations of the "human spider" creature type line. Did they succeed? Well, it's complicated!
