Description:

> Over the course of its 25-year history, Magic: The Gathering—the world’s first and most popular trading card game—has redefined the fantasy genre through its exploration of diverse, fantastic worlds. And traversing those worlds are Planeswalkers, heroes who have sworn to defend the Multiverse from harm. Magic: The Gathering: Rise of the Gatewatch is a visual history and celebration of Magic’s first team of Planeswalkers—Jace Beleren, Ajani Goldmane, Gideon Jura, Chandra Nalaar, Nissa Revane, Liliana Vess, and Teferi. The Gatewatch’s character histories, from their origins through their final confrontation with Nicol Bolas, are presented here via the very best card, packaging, and convention-exclusive artwork, all of it reproduced together here for the first time, some seen for the first time outside of the card frame. Rise of the Gatewatch is a giftable visual reference guide sure to appeal to new and longtime Magic fans alike.

Twenty bucks for an art book about the dumbest fucking "faction" in MTG, from the period of worst art direction in MTG? Miss me with that gay shit.

The only good thing about this is in the description it says:

>The Gatewatch’s character histories, from their origins through their final confrontation with Nicol Bolas

I hope the final confrontation will be the final time we ever see one-dimensional goblin-face Nicky B and the Vanilla Squad face off. Please just yeet the gatewatch into the annals of history and never mention them again.

Endless preview weeks are finally over, so it's time to get to a topic many listeners have been asking to hear about: the Weatherlight Saga! Over the next three weeks, we'll talk about the intrepid adventures of the legendary skyship that happened in the late 1990s through the early 2000s. We begin by dunking on Urza, covering his life and the events that led to the construction of Weatherlight in the first place.
