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.

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 viral story was created under a pseudoname, Josh Brauer. Ryan Miller led a team that wrote the stories across a variety of media.

Vorthos users can be found in three main places:

1. Phyrexia Forum

2. Mothership forums: Magic Art and Artists or Flavor and Storylines

3. On Twitter using the #vorthos hashtag.


Wizards of the Coast creative team members who write Vorthos content:

Brady Dommermuth, Jeremy Jarvis, Matt Cavotta, Doug Beyer, Jenna Helland, Adam Lee, and Freelance writers.


Vorthos Wednesday

A third party site, GatheringMagic, ushered in a day of columnists to coincide with the Savor the Flavor articles on dailymtg.com. They write about continuity, flavor and all things that Vorthos would appreciate. Flavor writers: Brendan MJ Scott Mike Linnemann
