The Assault on Volrath's Stronghold in Magic: The Gathering Stronghold
Magic: The Gathering's Stronghold set is set on the artificial plane of Rath, an engineered Phyrexian world featuring Volrath's Stronghold suspended inside a volcano above the City of Traitors, along with surrounding areas like the Skyshroud Forest.
The Weatherlight Crew's Dungeon Dive in the Story of Stronghold
In the central conflict of Stronghold, Gerrard and the crew of the Weatherlight journey through the bowels of Volrath's Stronghold in an attempt to rescue their imprisoned comrades Sisay and others. They battle twisted creations and uncover dark secrets about their friends, enemies, and themselves, including revelations about Volrath's identity and the Phyrexian plans for Rath.
Buyback, Shadow, and en-Kor in Magic: The Gathering Stronghold
As the second set in the Tempest block of Magic: The Gathering, Stronghold continues the block's Buyback and Shadow mechanics while introducing the en-Kor ability, a damage redirection mechanic tied to the Kor tribe. It expands themes around Licids, Slivers, Spikes, and Flowstone, creating a gameplay identity of versatile creatures, temporary effects, and the oppressive atmosphere of a Phyrexian fortress under siege by rebels and invaders. Flavorfully, the set evokes a desperate dungeon crawl through horrors engineered for conquest.
