Revision as of 13:08, 30 October 2015
The Weatherlight Saga remains the single most epic of all Magic storyline endeavors. Beginning with the Weatherlight expansion in 1997 and lasting through Apocalypse in 2001, the Weatherlight Saga incorporated or overrode much of the then-existing continuity, which came to be known as prerevisionist. [1] During its run, characters and plot events were featured prominently on the cards themselves, such that the basics of the story could be gleaned from them. Though fan response to this was mixed at best and Wizards of the Coast has since abandoned this method of storytelling, the story has actually become more popular as it ages.
Note that the events surrounding Urza and the story of the prequel The Thran are usually seen as a part of the Weatherlight Saga. Although they predate the Skyship Weatherlight by millennia they start a chain of events that ultimately lead to its creation. The storylines of expansions before Weatherlight are also still considered canon.
The Weatherlight Saga was plotted by Magic author and editor Michael G. Ryan and Mark Rosewater, with additional help from Bob Kruger, Kij Johnson and Pete Venters. [2] [3] [4]
