MTG Murders at Karlov Manor ARG solved and prize revealed 

Weeks of hard work have paid off for MTG players, as the final mysteries of Murders at Karlov Manor have been solved.

MTG’s Murders at Karlov Manor set has certainly lived up to its murder mystery theme. There have been secrets galore within this set, in both its official story and the ARG that players have been frantically combing through for weeks. 

Now, Murders at Karlov Manor’s ARG has officially concluded, and the prize is a previously hidden 11 part of Murders at Karlov Manor’s story. This epilogue has huge implications for both the future of Ravnica and Magic’s overarching story. 

Murders at Karlov Manor- Episode 11 unlocked 

Following weeks of fiendish puzzle solving, players were able to crack the final clue and input the code ‘The Way is Open’ to the official website. All it took was a single player to input the code, and the prize was available to everyone. Murders at Karlov Manor Episode 11 – Portents and Omens can now be read at the official site. 

Episode 11 – Portents and Omens wraps up some final loose ends in Murders at Karlov Manor’s story. Namely, what the dragon Niv-Mizzet has been doing all this time, and what the next steps are for Proft and Etrata. 

MTG Omenpaths explained 

WOTC

The biggest focus of this new wave of MTG’s story – following the conclusion of the Phyrexian War arc – has been the Omenpaths. These unpredictable portals have allowed characters to cross from plane to plane without the use of a Planeswalker’s spark. 

As of yet, the Omenpath’s openings and destinations have seemed random. However, this story installment proves that there is a pattern to them, however confusing. Niv-Mizzet, previous Izzet guild leader and current living guildpact of Ravnica, has set his sights on mapping and controlling the Omenpaths. Niv’s aim is to master this new form of multiplanar travel and situate Ravnica at the center of it all, a hub between the planes. 

Whether this new development is pushing Niv-Mizzet into a similar antagonistic role to fellow elder dragon and God-Pharaoh Nicol Bolas remains to be seen. Niv may wish for more power and prominence for his home plane, or perhaps simply more followers of his brilliant mind, but placing Ravnica as the capital of the multiverse is at least less destructive in the short term than Bolas’ plans for ascension. 

While this story development is somewhat surprising, it. With the remnants of a previous interplanar civilization – the Fomori – being discovered in The Lost Caverns of Ixalan and the Omenpaths’ role in MTG’s future becoming clearer, it seems that the story’s new direction is becoming clearer with each new set.  

We’ll see what the next step in MTG’s overarching plot will be when Outlaws of Thunder Junction launches on April 19.
