The Omenpath Arc is the one-year storyline that deals with the aftermath of New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse, the consequences of the Desparkening, the opening of the Omenpaths, and a new character named Kellan.[1]
It is the first part of a three-year story arc codenamed Metronome.[2] Metronome is Magic's fourth modern major story arc after the Eldrazi Arc, the Bolas Arc, and the Phyrexian Arc.
Description[ | ]
The Omenpath Arc started in September 2023 and features the following sets: Wilds of Eldraine, The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, Murders at Karlov Manor, Outlaws of Thunder Junction, and The Big Score. While not containing story elements, Alchemy: Eldraine, Alchemy: Ixalan, Alchemy: Karlov Manor, and Alchemy: Thunder Junction are set within the Omenpath Arc.
The story follows Kellan - the non-planeswalker, half-fae, and half-human son of Oko - as he travels across Eldraine, Ixalan, Ravnica, and Thunder Junction in search of his father via Omenpaths.[3][4][5][6] As such, he appears once in every set in this arc. The arc also secretly features Jace Beleren - masquerading as Ashiok - and Vraska, as they begin their plot to recreate the multiverse using the Coin Empire's technology and other remnants.[7] In-universe, the arc takes place over roughly a year and a half.[8]
The storyline of Metronome is continued in the Dragonstorm Arc.[2]

Four Legendary Human Faeries that have Adventures or synergize with Adventures, a mechanic which originated in Throne of Eldraine. They represent the Eldraine denizen Kellan and his journey across various planes during the Omenpath Arc. On each plane, he retains a color from his previous card and gains a new one, starting from a monocolored  creature and progressively becoming a multicolored    creature over the arc, as a reflection of his character development.
