Has MTG moved away from the concept of truly evil factions in favour of more abstract villains and grey morality spectrums? The guys take a look at the new Siege cycle of cards from Tarkir: Dragonstorm as a case study and discuss how the concept of the "Bad Guy" has changed in magic narrative and gameplay. Also Andy and Nathan go back across recent lore history and inadvertently justify the actions of some pretty evil characters to prove their point...Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.Bluesky:mtflavouring.bsky.socialTwitter:MTF- @MTFlavouring,Andy- @AndyMannface,Nathan- @TheFoxintheMoon,Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqEmU7KIqU4Bcwn2RfcJ-yQMessage us directly!

Magic proves once again that its Colour Pie is one of the richest veins of Lore in all of fantasy, as each colour has its own brand of life/death spells. Andy and Nathan work through the WUBRG to discuss how these themes are expressed and the metaphysics of what actually counts as resurrection. Also Andy hates on Doctor Who again...Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.Bluesky:mtflavouring.bsky.socialTwitter:MTF- @MTFlavouring,Andy- @AndyMannface,Nathan- @TheFoxintheMoon,Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqEmU7KIqU4Bcwn2RfcJ-yQMessage us directly!
