Revision as of 18:34, 26 June 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 asterisk (*). 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 prerevisioned days were comics printed by ARMADA. Many plotlines of these comics where 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. Since then only 4 comics have been printed, this time 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).

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.

Reposts of older 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.
