There will be no new Vorthos Cast episode this week! We’re taking a much deserved vacation. Also Chris has COVID. But since it’s still Sunday, May the Fourth be with you! (Courtesy of @manhackman in our Discord)

In the Tarkir: Dragonstorm story, we see Sarkhan make yet another choice: to honor the life of a young dragon or to kill it and embrace his own draconic vision. Our free preview card for #MTGTarkir is Sarkhan inviting the player to make that same choice: Will you have Sarkhan's Resolve?

Our Flavor Gems episode is up today for our patrons! For everyone else, you'll get to hear this really long episode on Monday! Surprisingly, we didn't spend all that much time talking about the Magic movie, and most of this is actually talking about the cards.
