Ep.150 No More Bad Guys On Tarkir

Magic The Flavouring · 2025-04-18

Has MTG moved away from the concept of truly evil factions in favour of more abstract villains and grey morality spectrums? The guys take a look at the new Siege cycle of cards from Tarkir: Dragonstorm as a case study and discuss how the concept of the "Bad Guy" has changed in magic narrative and gameplay. Also Andy and Nathan go back across recent lore history and inadvertently justify the actions of some pretty evil characters to prove their point...
