Congratulations to our new Loremaster, @noahresponse.bsky.social! When the dust settled, it was Noah who held the crown. Thank you to everyone who came out and fought to be the Monarch!

We’ve got so many great giveaways for audience and participants!

Loremaster Monarch begins in 30 minutes in the Spindown Room (Auditorium C102)! Come see Loremaster Jay get embarrassed as our panelists (and you too!) ask him the hardest lore questions!

We have some breaking podcast news! If you’ve enjoyed hearing @iwriterobots.com on our recent episodes about robots and writing, you’ll be hearing a lot more of him! Henn is now an official cohost of the Vorthos Cast!

Thank you to @magic.wizards.com for our free previews for #MTGEternities! We have two common creatures that bring depth to the setting: The Illvoi Galeblade of the Uthros Combine and a Hullcarver from the Monoists of Susur Secundi.

For next week's episode, we're opening up our mailbag and answering your Vorthos questions! This is your chance to ask Vorthos experts your hard-hitting questions, and you can do so by replying to this skeet, posting in our Mailbag room on Discord, or emailing us at TheVorthosCast@Gmail.Com!

There will be no new Vorthos Cast episode this week! We’re taking a much deserved vacation. Also Chris has COVID. But since it’s still Sunday, May the Fourth be with you! (Courtesy of @manhackman in our Discord)

In the Tarkir: Dragonstorm story, we see Sarkhan make yet another choice: to honor the life of a young dragon or to kill it and embrace his own draconic vision. Our free preview card for #MTGTarkir is Sarkhan inviting the player to make that same choice: Will you have Sarkhan's Resolve?

Our Patreon supporters mean the world to us and they keep our podcast online and get our hosts to offline events, and even $1 a month subscribers play a huge role in that. If you want to support us, please do so through your web browser and not on the iOS app, which wants 30% of your support.

Interested in the world of Tarkir that once was, a world lost to time thanks to the actions of Ugin and Sarkhan Vol? Our new episode is available for members of our Patreon now, where we're talking about the clans as they once were to get us ready for the clans as they are now!

Welcome back to Magic story, Cassandra Khaw!

Our Flavor Gems episode is up today for our patrons! For everyone else, you'll get to hear this really long episode on Monday! Surprisingly, we didn't spend all that much time talking about the Magic movie, and most of this is actually talking about the cards.

If you subscribe to our Patreon (Patreon.com/TheVorthosCast) you get our episodes early! This week we're recapping and discussing the second half of Aetherdrift stories, including the excellent side story set on Muraganda and the conclusion of the race! Patrons get it today, everyone else on Monday!

And our last preview and second story spotlight is Tune Up! This quiet moment in the story takes place after the racers escape Muraganda and have to repair their vehicle in the dunes of Amonkhet with whatever they can find! Daretti and Pia make an excellent team. 🎨: @chrisrallis.bsky.social

And because Daretti featured heavily in the story of Aetherdrift, we also have two story spotlight cards to share with you! First up is Explosive Getaway! This story spotlight takes place during Episode 4, as our racers escape from capture by the dinosaur-folk of Muraganda! 🎨: Caio Monteiro and TSCR

Thank you to @magic.wizards.com for our free preview cards for Aetherdrift! As noted fans of the goblin artificer, we have three Daretti-themed cards to share with you, starting with his vehicle, the Veloheart Bike! 🎨: Juan Marquez and Anthony Devine

Patrons can listen to tomorrow's episode tonight! This week is a long one, since we took some inspiration from @rhysticstudies.bsky.social's video about Seventh Edition to go through all 31 years of Core Set history to see how the presentation of Magic story in core set products has changed.

Tomorrow is our big year in review episode for all of Magic story in 2024, where we talk about the big hits and misses of the year and what we're looking forward to from 2025! It's available right now on Patreon for members at any level, so if you can't wait 12 hours you can listen now for just $1!

If you're a member of our Patreon, you can listen to Monday's episode right now! There's so many legends in Foundations and Jumpstart that we spent an entire hour talking about them! If you're not a member of our Patreon, you'll get the episode Monday, which is totally okay!
