Keeping it Casual
In the realm of casual interests, Sam Keeper wrote an article on whether or not Wizards is ready to do Dominaria justice should we make a return to the iconic Magic plane. Featured on the Daily Magic Update for Thursday, March 16, this is definitely a Vorthos Piece worth checking out!

Mike Linnemann cranked out another fine piece that was featured in Wednesday’s Daily Magic Update. Joined by Sonja Boschman, Mike explored the themes of Ancient Egyptian art in order to enlighten the rest of us on what to expect in the upcoming Amonkhet! I implore you to take a look if you have any interest in the magic behind Magic art!
