This year, Magic: The Gathering sent players to a diverse range of planes and introduced new characters thirsty for adventure. We witnessed the rise and fall of the evil machines, a teenage Fae searching for his lost father, the race to Ixalan’s core, and numerous Planeswalkers losing their Spark.
Unlike sets in recent years, many of 2023’s stories ended on a positive note, with good triumphing over evil. In Lost Caverns of Ixalan, the explorers set aside their differences to defeat the Mycotyrant’s army of fungi dinosaurs. In March of the Machine, Elspeth Tirel returned from beyond space and time as a resplendent Planeswalker angel to defeat Elesh Norn and her army of techno-demons. Talk about a Deus ex Machina. But what if these stories didn’t end happily ever after, and instead concluded on a more sinister note, like Amonkhet?
