Welcome to Magic Arcanum!

It started with a very simple idea: help people understand the Magic story, so that they might better enjoy the cards.

Magic: The Gathering is the world’s largest trading card game, and along with it you’ll find one massive and sprawling storyline that covers over 25 years worth of characters, events, and locations.

This can be overwhelming for new players (or even longtime ones!) but with a little effort, this fantastic setting can be shared, explained, and enjoyed by everyone.

Such is the goal of Magic Arcanum. On our YouTube channel, you’ll find regular videos that talk about the key characters and story plot points that align with each major set release.

And now, on this website, you’ll find additional content to level up your Magic game as you learn the stories behind the cards. Deck lists, designer insight, fan fiction, card reviews…the possibilities here, much like with Magic’s own story, are truly endless.

Nicole and I wish to thank everyone who has supported Magic Arcanum and helped make this possible. We hope to continue growing, improving, and sharing.

May you always find room in your life for story time.

– Ryan

    Happy to support you both on this. Magic Arcanum is one of my favorite channels, and has been since you both went independent.

    I’ve been a long time follower of your work and I’m quite sure I’ve watched all your videos back on TCGplayer and for sure now on your own channels.

    I usually don’t write comments on YouTube but I find appropiate to say here to both of you that you make an awesome work. The Vorthos inside my always hungry on MTG lore was truly happy to find you guys and it was because of you that I’ve started reading all the stories from Origins to the full Bolas Arc.

    I hope one day my economy let my support some cool Patreons like yours. Keep the good work!

    Found your channel recently and I absolutely love the lore videos. A video on the Angels, specifically Gisela, Bruna, and Sigarda would be very interesting. Keep up the great work!
