Omenpath Arc
The Omenpath Arc is the one-year storyline that deals with the aftermath of the New Phyrexian Invasion, the consequences of the Desparkening, the opening of the Omenpaths, and a new character named Kellan.[1] It comprises of the premier sets Wilds of Eldraine, The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, Murders at Karlov Manor, and Outlaws of Thunder Junction.
It is the first part of a three-year story arc codenamed Metronome.[2] Metronome is Magic's fourth modern major story arc after the Eldrazi Arc, the Bolas Arc, and the Phyrexian Arc.
Description
Following up on the conclusion of the Phyrexian Arc, the Omenpath Arc started in September 2023 and features the following sets: Wilds of Eldraine, The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, Murders at Karlov Manor, Outlaws of Thunder Junction and The Big Score. While not containing story elements, Alchemy: Eldraine, Alchemy: Ixalan, Alchemy: Karlov Manor and Alchemy: Thunder Junction are set within the Omenpath Arc.
The story follows Kellan - the non-planeswalker, half-fae, and half-human son of Oko - as he travels across Eldraine, Ixalan, Ravnica, and Thunder Junction in search of his father via Omenpaths.[3][4][5][6] As such, he appears once in every set in this arc. The arc also secretly features Jace Beleren - masquerading as Ashiok - and Vraska, as they begin their plot to recreate the multiverse using the Coin Empire's technology and other remnants.[7] In-universe, the arc takes place over roughly a year and a half.[8]
The storyline of Metronome is continued in the Dragonstorm Arc.[2]

Four Legendary Human Faeries that have Adventures or synergize with Adventures, a mechanic which originated in Throne of Eldraine. They represent the Eldraine denizen Kellan and his journey across various planes during the Omenpath Arc. On each plane, he retains a color from his previous card and gains a new one, starting from a monocolored  creature and progressively becoming a multicolored    creature over the arc, as a reflection of his character development.
