How many Jodahs are there in all the shown timelines of magic the gathering?

How many of them are the same person?

One in the main Magic canon (novels and web fiction), and a separate one in the divergent videogame Magic Legends. For the main canon, I defer to Berend's review of Future Sight for the most likely explanation.

If there are a handful of celebrities in the real world who enjoy obfuscating their past and identity for the hell of it, I'll believe that one ageless wizard would do it too.

Heyy, do you consider making the site open-source? or at least easier for more people to contribute?

The site is a personal project. Rad and I run a tight ship to ensure it stays reliable and accurate. If somebody has a proposal for collaboration, I'd direct them to the Contact section of the About page.

Open wikis exist for MTG, but serve a different purpose and are commercial.

Two social media answers from Roy of the Magic Story team on Akul's background on OTJ and homeplane. Links 1 & 2.

If you're curious about the plane of Gastal, the novel Planeswalker (where Gastal is visited) is one of the dozens of Magic books available to borrow for free from Internet Archive!

10 Year Anniversary of Dack Fayden Comics Ending

On March 19, 2014, the final installment of the original Magic IDW comics came to a cliffhanger ending with Theros #5.

Magic had published Planeswalker-centric webcomics from 2008 to 2011 for free on their website, however the Dack comics starting in 2012 took a big swing: Attempt to establish an audience for a then-uncarded Planeswalker and tell stories visiting the concurrent expansion settings (Innistrad, Ravnica, Theros). All of this during a time of low story momentum and transition with novel lines ending, main story drought during Innistrad block, the slow beginnings of web fiction, and a shift to enovels in Return to Ravnica and Theros.

While Dack Fayden would prove popular enough and receive his debut Planeswalker card in Conspiracy, our final chance to see him alive again wouldn't be until five years later during War of the Spark. Dack's storyline with Ashiok on Theros had been resolved offscreen, he was cardless in the set proper, and his death was broadcast in the cinematic trailer before the novel even released. Can't win 'em all... or most of them for that matter.

Dack's adventures were far from Magic's first or last stab at entering the world of comics, but they'll always stand out as the fan-favorite version. Cheers to a decade!
