Show notes

This week, the author of the main story for Phyrexia: All Will Be One has joined us to talk Nahiri, Tyvar, and the heartbreaking fates of some of our favorite planeswalkers. Seanan McGuire is a Hugo Award-winning author of "more books than is actually healthy for a single person," including the Wayward Children series and, as Mira Grant, the Newsflesh and Parasitology series. Her story for ONE is the first main story collection she's written for Magic, but you may recognize her from "Homecoming," the story of Liliana and the Raven Man from Dominaria United, or the Hugo-nominated "Tangles" from Midnight Hunt.
