Revision as of 19:59, 18 February 2008

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

When Tempest was released, Wizards of the Coast started to get more involved with the story then they had been before, and declared that from that moment on there was a new continuity: older books where still canon as long as newer books didn’t contradict them. In this list sources released before the revision are marked with an asterix (*). For more information about this see the article about Prerevisionist continuity.

Books

The novels are of course the main source of storyline knowledge. The first books where 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 pre-revisioned days were comics printed by ARMADA. Many plotlines of these comics where supposed to come together in a series called about the Planeswalkers War of Corondor, but that series was cancelled in favour of the Weatherlight Saga. Despite cancellation, information that would have been in these comics has been provided by Jeff Gomez, the editor of the Magic line at Armada. Since then only 4 comics have been printed, this time by Dark Horse Comics.

Magazines

Back in the days, before there where 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.
