The Vorthos Cast

Reality Fracture was the end of a multi-year story arc designed and executed by the incredible story team at Wizards of the Coast, and this week we have two of the brilliant creatives who made it happen on to talk to us about how they pulled it off! We're joined by Story Lead Roy Graham, who shaped the arc from Wilds of Eldraine all the way to Reality Fracture, and by Meris Mullaley, the Narrative Lead for the set itself who stitched together the story and the card set.

We're joined once again by the wonderful writer and Vorthos Kathleen De Vere to talk about the story of Reality Fracture! We go in deep on our feelings about the crafting of this story, the way it succeeded in making us connect with Jace and Vraska, and even what we think might have been missing.

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.

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!

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.
