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

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.
