Because you probably missed it, the entire main story of Lost Caverns of Ixalan was quietly released

!Spoiler Warning!

Got through it and enjoyed it quite a bit! Classic Magic Story where the build up stretches out and then everything feels like it ends in a flash, but it's still pretty good, imo.

Lots of loose ends and tidbits dropped all over. Teasing mention of Vraska. Orcs in the east? Both the baddies still out there and ready to wreak havoc. Liked 'em both, especially all the mycoid art (it's so good!), so I'm happy to see they're not one-and-done villains.

And wtf is the 'Coin Empire'? That whole thread felt like we were dropped in halfway through a story arc, gave pretty much no further info, and left on a cliff hanger. Really confused by all that. On that note, I'm a bit bummed we didn't get to see Quintorius come into being a Planeswalker. He already seems 100% acclimated to the whole thing the moment he pops into Ixalan.

Also, I feel like I'm the only one that cares about it, but I adored this little nod to The Princess Bride. Can't help but read it in Inigo's voice XD

Hah, thanks for the heads-up. They've really given up on the whole serial angle, huh? I honestly really liked the weekly posts, but I guess I get it. They don't have to worry about story spoilers if they release it all before the card spoilers even start, and starting a month before that can feel a bit off.
