The Vorthos Guide to Magic: The Gathering
Welcome back to Archive Trap, the unofficial story column for all things Magic: The Gathering! Today we’re returning once more to the world of Zendikar, the plane that jumpstarted our articles and that we’ve returned to in Battle for Zendikar and Oath of the Gatewatch. In Part I, we filled you in on all the key players and gave you a little bit of background on each. We also talked about the geography of Zendikar itself, which is as much a character as anything else, with its Roil-torn landscape, ancient dungeons and flavorful artwork. In Part II, we took you back 6,000 years into Zendikar’s past, where three planeswalkers decided the fate of Zendikar, and then took you all the way to just after the Eldrazi's release and Gideon's vow to find help. In Part III we filled you in on what happened between Gideon’s vow to find help and his eventual return to the plane, leading right up to Battle for Zendikar. Part IV explored what's changed since we were last around and addressed the plane as it exists now. Today we're going to talk about the plot and the end of the Eldrazi conflict. Part V took you through the story of Battle for Zendikar, right up to the emergence of Kozilek. Today we take you through the formation of the Gatewatch, in Oath of the Gatewatch.
