Elves on Lorwyn and Shadowmoor have horns/antlers, and the human skulls here tell us this isn’t from Lorwyn, but as to where it is from, I can’t be sure.

That said, this is a much more unique take on the horror, with a provocative elven figure in the foreground casting a shadow of a horror, evocative of the old “Possessed” cycle in Torment. Double Masters printed the entire Liege cycle from the sets Shadowmoor & Eventide, but this was the only to get new art? I’d love to hear the story of why. I also owe an incredible amount to the community for crowdsourcing card origins and lore, so please feel free to send me your feedback or details on anything you think I may have missed. It starts with a card-by-card review, followed by some discussion of art trends and themes in the set, and will cap off with a final count of planes represented and hopes for the future.Īs with the other set reviews, I am only one person, and quite often I miss a thing or two (despite my best efforts. If you have any suggestions on how you’d like to see future Multiverse Set Reviews, however, feel free to send me an email at those who are new to the Multiverse Set Reviews, the goal of these are to discuss new cards from the latest Magic release and assign them to known planes in the Magic Multiverse. In preparation for this review, I debated changing up the layout somewhat doing a card-by-card analysis is fun, don’t get me wrong: but I did wonder if there wasn’t a better way? I initially considered just grouping cards by plane, but that felt almost less effective at telling card-by-card stories, so I’ve kept the layout as-is for now. Sure, it’s 100% reprints, but it’s positively loaded with new art thanks to the full-art treatment so many cards are getting, and if we know anything, it’s that new art means a new potential for lore and planar cards! And we have quite a few, excitingly. It’s funny, I had nearly resigned myself to not having another Multiverse set review after the second death of core sets, but Double Masters is here to set the record straight.

I hope you all have found yourself in a better place since June 2021, but if not, hopefully a little bit of Vorthos lore can soothe your nerdy soul. It feels like an eternity since my review of Modern Horizons 2, but it’s only been a calendar year. Here we are again, for the first time in a long time.
