OM1 Flavoring Project - CARD 7Xecau, Predation's Shadow

The r/mtgvorthos subreddit (specifically u/-TvT-) is running a competition to write flavor text for Through the Omenpaths (OM1) cards, where those cards' counterparts have flavor text in Marvel's Spider-Man.

The top upvoted comment, with 86 upvotes at the time of writing, was "“There’s only one way to avoid a stampede: Drive it.”" The grammar on this one is slightly off, so the version on the card has been modified.

OM1 Flavoring Project - CARD 5: Ruzic, Booed but Victorious

The r/mtgvorthos subreddit (specifically u/-TvT-) is running a competition to write flavor text for Through the Omenpaths (OM1) cards, where those cards' counterparts have flavor text in Marvel's Spider-Man. This is part one of a weekend double-header with Dreadfang, Loathed by Fans.

For the results, see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mtgvorthos/comments/1nm85x3/om1_flavoring_project_cards_45_kylem_weekend/

Because this was run as a double-header, the winner is a bit ambiguous. The top upvoted comment, with 62 upvotes at the time of writing, was "Never rooted for. Never beaten." But this comment had flavor text for both Dreadfang and Ruzic, making in difficult to know if it was the Ruzic flavor text that was popular. To compensate, I've included a second card with the top voted flavor text for just Ruzic, with 43 upvotes at the time of writing.

Because this was run as a double-header, the winner is a bit ambiguous. The top upvoted comment, with 62 upvotes at the time of writing, was "They claim to hate me, but they always come back" But this comment had flavor text for both Dreadfang and Ruzic, making in difficult to know if it was the Dreadfang flavor text that was popular. To compensate, I've included a second card with the top voted flavor text for just Dreadfang, with 52 upvotes at the time of writing.

OM1 Flavoring Project - CARD 1: The Infernus

The r/mtgvorthos subreddit (specifically u/-TvT-) is running a competition to write flavor text for Through the Omenpaths (OM1) cards, where those cards' counterparts have flavor text in Marvel's Spider-Man. For the results, see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mtgvorthos/comments/1njjedr/om1_flavoring_project_card_1_the_infernus/ The winner, with 100 upvotes at the time of writing, was "Is this it? Is this how the walls of Thraben fall?". However that text is too long to fit in the available space without shrinking the card's text further. So this version is as close as I could get it while still fitting.

I can't find old comments in Gatherer following the update. Has the feature been completely axed?

I believe they are gone, but not my project, so that is an educated guess.

MaxMakesMagic has managed to archive most, if not all, of the Gatherer card comments. https://github.com/maxmakesmagic/pointed-discussion Edit (31 July 2025): A Redditor fully archived the whole section back in 2017. https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/1mbih8q/gatherer_comment_section_archive/

Could you give us a list of all the planes that we’ve visited and where they fall on the rabiah scale?

Here are the three articles where I did just that:

Part 1

The Rabiah Scale, Part 1 | MAGIC: THE GATHERING

Mark uses the Rabiah Scale to examine how likely he believes we are to return to a particular plane in a Standard-legal set.

Part 2

The Rabiah Scale, Part 2 | MAGIC: THE GATHERING

Mark wraps up his look at how likely he thinks we are to return to each plane Magic has already visited.

Part 3

The Rabiah Scale, Part 3

Mark revisits the Rabiah Scale, where he rates the likelihood of returning to planes in Magic's most recent excursions through the Multivers

The Professor's Hideous Laughter (Tasha's Hideous Laughter)

Sorry, I couldn't resist. As soon as I heard this laugh during the Shuffle Up & Play episode, I knew this had to be done.

Note: If I could have edited in Spice8Rack's faces from later in the ep I would have.
