Intro: I'm Cary. I run a Magic story search engine (@mtglore.bsky.social), I'm on The Vorthos Cast, and I wrote a zine about Gatherer comments (mtglore.com/players-just...).

I'm a free agent in it for the love of the game. Simple as that.

Back in February, I was looking at some of the new Magic cards in Aetherdrift. I saw Whir of Invention and said, “oh, who did that? Brian Chippendale?"

Who is Brian Chippendale?

I think part of the reason this website can be a little messy is that, like early twitter, it tends to reward people for posting constantly and the type of person who posts constantly in 2025 is very different than the type of person who posted constantly in 2011

Just got my acceptance email for the Greenlight Fund!

I'd say check your inbox, however they awarded me all $1 million for my pitch: reviewing the Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 original soundtrack.

Honored, grateful, humbled, etc. Best of luck next year!

today, I venture to ask: what do minotaur fingers look like?

as it turns out, the answer has to do with the visual conventions of mythology and high fantasy, the history of Magic, and how we manage the alienness of fantasy realism.

give it a read!
