Savor the Flavor

From MTG Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Savor the Flavor was a column that appeared weekly on DailyMTG.com. Written by members of the Magic: The Gathering Creative Team (mainly Matt Cavotta and Doug Beyer), it explored the creative process behind the flavor, including card art, flavor text, card names, world-building, books, comics, and the foundations of Magic: the Gathering on fantasy. Until August 2008, it was called Taste the Magic. It was replaced in 2012 by the Uncharted Realms column. Although some of the articles of Savor the Flavor are story-based, most story articles fall under the Magic Story column.
