Magic: The Gathering/Recap

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Magic: The Gathering has been around for a while, and it's accumulated a lot of storyline in that time. This is an index of pages for the individual Magic novels, comics, and other bits of storyline, listed roughly in chronological order by their associated expansions.

Most of them are still redlinks; if you've read them, you can help by creating and/or expanding their pages.
