Revision as of 09:46, 23 April 2014

This article contains a list of sources about the Magic the Gathering storyline. [1]

When Tempest was released, Wizards of the Coast started to get more involved with the story than they had been before, and declared that from that moment on there was a new continuity: older books were still canon as long as newer books didn't contradict them. In this list, sources released before the revision are marked with an asterisk (*).

Books

The novels are the main source of storyline knowledge. The first books were printed by Harper Prism. These are part of prerevisionist continuity, although most fit in the post-revisionist continuity quite easily as well. From Tempest onward, Wizards of the Coast has been publishing its own novels, most of which have been structured in cycles of 3 or 4 books.

Comics

Another media that contributed much to the Magic storyline in prerevision days were comics printed by ARMADA (an imprint of Acclaim Comics). [2] Many plotlines of these comics were supposed to come together in a series called about the Planeswalker War of Corondor, but that series was canceled in favor of the Weatherlight Saga. Despite cancellation, information that would have been in these comics has been provided by Jeff Gómez, the editor of the Magic line at Armada. Following that, 4 comics were printed by Dark Horse Comics.

In the meantime, promotional comics appeared in Top Deck magazine and a short online comic was released on magicthegathering.com (see below).

In January 2012, the comic company IDW Publishing began printing the first official Magic comics produced outside of the company in over a decade. The series follows the exploits of the thief Dack Fayden.

Magazines

Back in the days, before there were intrawebs, people read about Magic in magazines like Scry and InQuest. The most famous of these would be the Duelist, which was the 'official' magic magazine and thus also contained tibits about the storyline, or even some short stories.

Older articles

These pages where launched in the days of the Weatherlight Saga, and thus post-revisionist, but they are not updated anymore and are often down.

Third Party Sites

Archived sites

Duelist is not being printed anymore. Internet has taken the place of many magazines, also on storyline territory. But even before the decline of printed magazines there was information about the magic storyline to be found on the World Wide Web.

Acclaim

Acclaim produced a computer game called Battlemage that centred around the Planeswalker War. On its site Acclaim posted a long history of the conflict. Most of it is a recap of the ARMADA comics, although it does include some stuff not mentioned anywhere else.

Computer games

There are also some computer games based on Magic that reveal parts of the storyline. The recent Battlegrounds game did have a storyline, but it was never in-continuity.
