410 - Alison Lührs on Reality Fracture Oct 12, 2026

Show notes

We sit down with Alison Lührs, author of the Reality Fracture story and so much more, to talk about what it was like killing Jace Beleren, completing a journey long in the making, and kicking off a new journey with a person in progress. We also talk about shipping single moms, going on hikes, and who we think probably smiled through Jace's funeral. If you want to support the Vorthos Cast, you can!

409 - The Flavor Gems of Reality Fracture Oct 05, 2026

Show notes

There's an entirely new multiverse in the Reality Fracture set, with so many flavor gems that we couldn't possibly talk about all of them! So we didn't. This week, we're talking about the cards we personally thought were fascinating and delightful, the cards that made us stop and say "Oh wow, how about that" while looking at the set. We're sharing our favorite bites of Reality Fracture with you, and you should share your favorites with us! Let us know if a particular card stood out to you!

408 - The Story of Reality Fracture, episodes 9 & 10 Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

The story of Reality Fracture, and thus the story of Jace Beleren, comes to an end in today's episode. We see the Theorist flex his omniscience as he attempts to overlay his echoverse over the multiverse, and we see as he fails. And then we all cry. A lot.

407 - The Story of Reality Fracture, episodes 7 & 8 Sep 21, 2026

Show notes

Jace shattered at the end of Tarkir Dragonstorm, and as he has become the Theorist he has continued to jettison the parts of himself that would stand in his way of restarting the multiverse. In episodes 7 and 8 of the Reality Fracture story, we see Jace's friends and comrades (and Garruk) scramble through his memories to find those pieces of himself in order to stop the Theorist from ending everything. Along the way, they learn more about themselves in return. Read Magic Story! Do it! MtgStory.com! Our summaries are nothing compared to the incredible writing by Alison Lührs!
