#REDIRECT[[Player type#Vorthos]]
'''Vorthos''' is a player type. It is not exactly a "psychographic profile", as such, as the Vorthos player type is about appreciation, not motivation to win. If [[Johnny]], [[Timmy]] and [[Spike]] are on a triangle of an x, y axis, Vorthos and [[Melvin]] would be on a z axis.

Vorthos' concerns are mostly one of flavor and creative consistency. Continuity and applying a retcon to the past are key aspects of an involved vorthos.
Vorthos is a fickle psychographic and on message boards often exists as a hatedom.
 
Some discussion has been fostered on whether vorthos appreciates the theme of art alteration, but overall viewpoints of it are secondary to continuity.
For [[Innistrad]], a [http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/feature/166 viral story] was created under a pseudoname, [[Josh Brauer]]. [[Ryan Miller]] led a team that wrote the stories across a variety of media.
