This is a timeline of the Magic: The Gathering storyline. It is an unofficial document, but all information on it is taken from official canon sources (see: list of storyline sources). All stories that could be dated, or couldn't be dated but could be placed at some point in the timeline because of their connection to other stories, have been incorporated to the fullest possible extent. Note that this timeline is not completely accurate, and some events have an estimated date or a date range in which they could have occurred.

Dating systems

The infinite planes of the multiverse do not necessarily carry the same lengths of day, month, or year. However, years seem to pass between planes concurrently within the storyline, so a Ravnican year can be presumed to be the same length as a Dominarian year. See the notes section below the timeline for additional details.

Cridhe

In Cridhe the years are given as they relate to the Parting. The only other known date is that of the Mending of the Clan Tree, in 520.^[1]

Dominaria

The dates on this timeline are in AR: Argivian Reckoning, with year 0 starting with the birth of Urza and ending with the birth of Mishra. Other known reckonings are Penregon Founded, beginning with the founding of the city Penregon in -912 AR, and the Reckoning of the Sages of Minorad, starting with the gathering in 3000 AR of said sages. A Dominarian year is 420 days long and divided into twelve 35-day months.^[2][3]

Most pre-revision dates were given in the Minorad reckoning, but many can't possibly be true or have been proven untrue, in post-revisionist continuity. Minorad reckoning is only incorporated in the timeline and translated to AR if it remains true in the current continuity.

New Sumifans established another dating system in Almaaz. Its Common Era (CE) starts around 3035 AR (Date of 3000 BCE (Before Common Era) corresponds to times of Brothers, soon after Almaaz joined to Mishra's forces).^[4]

Innistrad

Dates on Innistrad are measured using the moon's stages and the years of Avacyn, commonly shortened to "Ava." As the year Ava. 1 is centuries later than Avacyn's creation, it may relate to the creation of her church or another important date in Innistrad's history. There are three seasons on Innistrad: Harvest Moon (autumn), Hunter's Moon (winter), and New Moon (spring). It is unclear exactly how long a season or a year on Innistrad lasts, although Hunter's Moon is said to be the longest and New Moon the shortest.^[5] The latest dates known for each season are the 118th of Harvest Moon in the years of Avacyn 699 and 711, the 121st of Hunter's Moon, Ava. 718, and the 116th of the New Moon, Ava. 714, meaning an Innistradi year could last at least 355 days.^[6]

Ixalan

Years in the Legion of Dusk are marked by their distance from the Legion's arrival on the continent of Ixalan, with years beforehand labeled "Before Dawn" (BD) and years after labeled "Dawn Era."^[7]

Ravnica

Ravnica works with AC and ZC, which stand for "Al Concordant" and "Zal Concordant", meaning "Before the Agreement" and "After the Agreement" in Old Ravi, respectively. The agreement, in this case, is the signing of the Guildpact. The D&D Guildmasters' Guide to Ravnica establishes the Ravnican date of the Return to Ravnica block as 10,075 ZC, which took place in 4558 AR. By this reckoning, the year 0 ZC began during the year -5517 AR (assuming there is both a year 0 AR and a year 0 ZC).^[8][9] A Ravnican year is 365 days, each of its twelve months matching up in length with their Gregorian calendar counterpart.^[10]

Theros

The Meletian calendar is irregular, with most years being 354 days. About every three years a thirteenth month of 30 days is added for 384 days to account for the misaligned solar year. Months on Theros alternate between 30 and 29 days.^[11]

New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse

4562

• Start of New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse^[250]
  • Elesh Norn orders Ajani to execute Sheoldred.^[253] She then sends her top-ranked minions to assault various planes - Vraska and Jace to Ravnica, Nahiri to Zendikar, Lukka to Ikoria, Tamiyo to Kamigawa, Ajani to Theros, and Atraxa to New Capenna. She keeps Nissa with her on New Phyrexia.
  • The planes of Aranzhur, Cabralin, Ilcae, Mirrankkar, and Obsidias are quickly overcome.^[255]
  • Tezzeret receives a new darksteel metal body as a reward by Elesh Norn for the capture of the traitor Rona, finally separating him from the Planar Bridge.^[255] Tezzeret escapes before Jin-Gitaxias can compleat him and seeks refuge from the war in the former headquarters of the Infinite Consortium.
  • Kaya, Kaito and Tyvar return to Dominaria and share the news of their defeat with Vivien, Liliana, Chandra and Wrenn.^[256] Chandra and Wrenn planeswalk to New Phyrexia and join the rebels there in the fight against Elesh Norn, while Kaya and Kaito go to Kamigawa. Tyvar travels to Kaldheim and Vivien to Ikoria, while Liliana travels to Arcavios.
  • On Kamigawa, Tamiyo compleats Boseiju before betraying Elesh Norn by letting herself be killed by the Wanderer.^[257] This triggers a spell Tamiyo had prepared earlier, forming Tamiyo's memory into a spiritual personification free of Phyrexian influence. Hidetsugu is freed from the spirit realm.^[258]
  • After the invasion tree opens Doomskars across Kaldheim, its defenders join together and burn their World Tree, denying the invaders its power.^[259]
  • On Arcavios, most of the professors are compleated, including Nassari and Shaile Talonrook, but not Embrose Lu or Liliana Vess.^[260] Quintorius Kand, Rootha Squallheart, Dina, Zimone Wola, and Killian Lu cast the Invocation of the Founders to protect against the invasion, and Quint's planeswalker's spark ignites.
  • On Ikoria, a compleated and monstrous Lukka destroys the largest Human city, Drannith.^[261] Vivien leads Jirina Kudro and refugees from the city into Vadrok's lair to lure Lukka there. Vadrok kills Lukka and spares Vivien and the refugees.
  • On Ixalan, Huatli leads the defense of the plane.^[262] She leads the soldiers of the Sun Empire with reluctant help from Mavren Fein and his host of vampires. At Orazca, she summons the Elder Dinosaurs to drive the intruders back. A compleated Etali attacks the city but is killed by Zacama.
  • On Eldraine, the leaders of the courts are defeated by the Phyrexians.^[263] Algenus and Linden Kenrith are both killed and Ayara is compleated. A powerful spell cast by Rankle lures the invaders into a chasm, and Ayara falls to her death. The fae lord Talion casts the Wicked Slumber with the help of the witch sisters Agatha, Eriette, and Hylda.
  • On Dominaria, Tolaria West is decimated by Phyrexians, but the invaders are rebuffed by the New Coalition.^[259]
  • Elesh Norn orders Urabrask's execution, but appears to stop short of killing him outright.^[264]
  • In the wake of the Sylex blast, Elspeth is met with an apparition of Serra.^[264] Infused with white mana, Elspeth returns to New Phyrexia as an archangel. She saves Karn from destruction at the hands of Jin-Gitaxias, and stabs Elesh Norn with her sword, allowing Chandra and Wrenn to approach the invasion tree, Realmbreaker.^[265]
  • Wrenn bonds with Realmbreaker and uses its interplanar portals to reach Zhalfir and Teferi.^[265] She expends her energy and life-force to switch Zhalfir's phased-out pocket plane with New Phyrexia, bringing the Zhalfirins into the war.
  • On Ravnica, Vraska leads the invasion, compleating most of the Golgari Swarm and many in the Simic Combine and Izzet League, while enacting revenge on the Azorius Senate.^[266] Some part of her remains uncompleated due to a partition created by Jace. She battles Ral Zarek, who uses a sonic device to neutralize the glistening oil and disable Vraska's body. She falls into a pile of rubble and disappears.
  • On Zendikar, Nahiri battles Tazri, Akiri, Linvala, Kaza and Orah.^[267] She fuses with the Emeria skyclave, which is brought to the ground.
  • On Capenna, Atraxa leads the compleation of Anhelo and most of the Maestros.^[268] Errant and Parnesse escape and lead a team to bring Park Heights down on top of Atraxa, killing her.
  • Capenna's angels use the omenpaths opened by Wrenn and Realmbreaker to enter other planes, spreading Halo across the Multiverse and aiding each plane's defenders.^[269]
  • On Theros, Ajani compleats enough faithful to compleat the majority of the plane's pantheon of Gods, including Heliod, Erebos, and possibly the other three Major Gods.^[270] Heliod is killed by Kaya Cassir.^[269]
  • On New Phyrexia, Vorinclex is killed.^[269] Jin-Gitaxias is also killed when a Zhalfirin woman smashes his war machine and lets him be eaten by his creations. Karn reassembles his broken body, and unmakes the defeated Elesh Norn. With her death, all Phyrexians and the glistening oil become inert, effectively ending the invasion.

The Omenpath Era (4562 AR - present)

Notes on the timeline

Since some parts of the timeline are open to interpretation this section was created to show which of them could be different, and why the current version was chosen. This section will not include an argumentation for all dates and the placing of undated events, because dates are often just given in the books, and most un-dated events have to have happened between certain dated events because of the characters or nations present.

Year Zero

The Argivian Reckoning explicitly uses a year zero corresponding to the year of Urza's and Mishra's births.^[317][9] Other dating systems, especially the Ravnican timeline, have been implied to use year zeroes as well, with years commensurate across planes.^[8]

The Thran

The book "The Thran" gives dates of all events in the "The Time of the Thran" part of this timeline relating to the Thran-Phyrexian War (9 years prior, 2 years prior, etc.). The date for the war itself is given in Apocalypse, where Yawgmoth says the war ended 9000 years ago. For this timeline, the Thran-Phyrexian War has been estimated to have happened 5000 years before the Brothers' War. Consequently, all the events narrated in the books are here reported following the same description provided in "The Thran", and under the summary indication of happening around -5000 AR. So all dates in the "The Time of the Thran" section are correct in relating to each other, but they could be some years off relating to the other dates on the timeline. Note that in Invasion, Tsabo Tavoc said the Thran-Phyrexian War ended 6000 years ago. Since Yawgmoth was there, his statements have been taken over those of Tsabo.

The Art of Magic: the Gathering - Dominaria places the 'Time of the Thran' at 'up to around -5,000 AR', ending with the Thran-Phyrexia War, placing this date officially at about -5000 AR.^[14]

Arabian Nights

The dates of the events of the Arabian Nights comic and the life of Taysir are roughly estimated, based on The Story of the Battlemage Ravidel, which places the birth of Taysir soon after the end of the Brothers' War. Refraction of Rabiah happened still in his infancy. He left the plane as an adult, about three decades later (although it's only an impression of his age derived from the art in the comic). Some sources place Antiquities War comic after Arabian Nights, but one of them also reminds us that in fact, the Antiquities War comic is a narrative made by Taysir after he was trapped in the Shard and researched the mysteries of this ancient conflict.

Duels of the Planeswalkers

Although it is not given a specific date, the 2014 Duels of the Planeswalkers takes place just before Rise of the Eldrazi, placing it in roughly 4557. It contains bios on each of its planeswalker characters, listing their ages as Garruk Wildspeaker, 36; Liliana Vess, "over 200"; Jace Beleren, 23; Ajani Goldmane, "appears" 30; Chandra Nalaar, 20; Nicol Bolas, "over 20,000"; Dack Fayden, 30; Elspeth Tirel, 24 (sparked at 13, squire at 17, knight at 20); and Nissa Revane, "appears" 28.

For this timeline to work, Elspeth must have been born in 4532, Chandra must have been born at an earlier time of year in 4537, and Daxos must have been born at a later date that same year. In 4545, Elspeth sparks at age 13 and meets Daxos on Theros before he turns 8. She squires on Bant in c. 4549 and is knighted in c. 4552. In 4557, Duels of the Planeswalkers occur after Chandra has turned 20, but before Elspeth has turned 25. Theros happens in 4559 after Daxos has turned 22, while Elspeth is 27.

Homelands events

The WotC Timeline places it between 3800 and 4130. The timeline in the Homelands comic gives no dates in the AR calendar but gives a chronology of events that takes 600 years, far longer than the 330 years in the WotC timeline. Placing 3800 as the 'Present Day' of the Homelands timeline is the only interpretation of the official timeline that works with what we know of The Kami War. Because this event has to happen at least 1,000 years before 4306 AR (according to Bolas in Future Sight), the only reasonable assumption is that the 'current' date for the Homelands timeline is 3800, not 4196. Serra's death has been placed as 3780 AR, confirming this interpretation of the timeline.^[14]

Kamigawa dates

In Time Spiral, Nicol Bolas states: "The schism became a source of misery before Karona’s War by a millennium or more. When poor, mad little Ravi rang her terrible bell and the Garden ceased to exist, the echoes of that destructive chime reached far and wide, all the way to the Talon Gates and the rift they attend. The tolling of Ravi’s chime opened the rift wider and deeper, extending it across the cosmos to another realm." This line establishes The Apocalypse Chime as happening AT LEAST a millennia before Karona's War (3306 AR). It also had to happen after Ravi rang the Apocalypse Chime, placing it where it ended up. Magic: The Gathering - The Visual Guide gives the year of the war's end as 3227 AR.

The storyline of Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty takes place five years after Tezzeret burned Nashi's village, was mind-wiped, and was picked up by Nicol Bolas, placing it around 4561.^[176][8] Ten years earlier, he caused the Emperor's spark to ignite.^[318] Twelve months after that, Kaito Shizuki's spark ignited when he was 15 years old.^[177] The Wanderer was about the same age as him.^[165] The set also takes place 1,200 years after the original block, placing the end of the Kami War between c. 3261-c. 3361.^{[319][320][321][322]}

The Reckoning of the Sages of Minorad

Many pre-revisionist events have been given in this reckoning, but they are often just plain wrong in revisionist continuity. The Fallen Empires comic says it takes place over a millennium before the Ice Age, while post-rev sources put it only 280 years before the ice. Another big event, the Planeswalker War on Corondor, is said to have happened more than a millennia after the gathering of the sages, but this would put it after the Phyrexian invasion, and since several planeswalkers that died during the invasion are major players in the 'walkers war this can be considered an obsolete date.

Most events have been given a post-rev date by WotC because they are tied to a set and thus on their official timeline (such as Fallen Empires and Homelands). The Shadow Mage, Wayfarer and the Planeswalker War had for a long time not been given an official date, but because we know how much time happens between them, we can deduce their post-rev dates: the War happens 70 years after Sandruu's banishment and Wayfarer in the same year as the war. The chapters of Shadow Mage each give the age of Jared Carthalion at that time, and since his age is given as 16 in Wayfarer, the placing of those chapters can be deduced as well. The Planeswalker War has now officially been given dates between 4195 AR and 4205 AR.^[14]

Mirrodin

The events of Mirrodin were a continuity problem. The flavor text of several cards in Mirrodin block mention the events of the Mirrodin Cycle taking place millennia after Karn disappeared from the plane.^[323] However, the events of Planar Chaos make it obvious that Mirrodin took place before the Time Spiral Cycle when Karn states that the plane hasn't seen conflict in a century. This was partly explained through the damage done to the fabric of the Multiverse by Dominaria's time rifts. The damage allowed Memnarch's delusions to become quasi-real and allow for thousands of years of history to play out on the plane, while on the outside only a few hundred years have passed.^[324]

Ravnica

The D&D Guildmasters' Guide to Ravnica establishes the Ravnican year of the Return to Ravnica block as 10,075 ZC, placing the events of the original Ravnica block 61-76 years in the past. The guide also confirms that Ravnican years are 365 days long. If 10,075 ZC is roughly equivalent to 4558, the length of Ravnican years must be roughly commensurate with Dominarian years for the original Ravnica Cycle to occur before the Mending.

In The Gathering Storm multiple weeks are mentioned as passing between Vraska's arrival on Ravnica and the War of the Spark.

In Note for a Stranger, which itself takes place over at least five days, Huatli mentions she has been on Ravnica for "two months", which came after spending a "few days" on Kaladesh. We know all this must happen after Huatli meets Saheeli in Rivals of Ixalan, but before they have already been reunited in War of the Spark. Comparing this to how much time is said to pass between Jace planeswalking from Ixalan to Dominaria (which happened before Huatli left Ixalan), and when Belzenlok is defeated (which is established to be the day before the War of the Spark), we can tell that Huatli probably arrived on Ravnica soon after leaving Kaladesh, and started dating Saheeli shortly before the War of the Spark.

Lorwyn

In Homesick, Nissa states "But her friend—her best friend, her constant companion for two score years—couldn't answer." Nissa's Origin: Home is when she first awakens her animist powers, which would be two scores (or 40 years) previous to Homesick. The Great Aurora occurs during Nissa's Origin, placing Lorwyn as occurring 40 years before Kaladesh.

Zendikar

The events of the Zendikar storyline can only vaguely be established thanks to Chandra's theft of the scroll in The Purifying Fire and Jace's experiences working as an agent of the Consortium to retrieve the scroll that Chandra stole. Roughly 3 years passed since Chandra acquired the scroll the first time, and Sarkhan Vol's presence tracking Chandra (apparently there for less than a year) indicates that the Zendikar story takes place after Alara as well.

While Chandra recalls there have been between one and three years passing since her last visit to Zendikar when she returns in Battle for Zendikar, based on Elspeth's age when her spark ignites and she first visits Theros, Daxos's ages on both of Elspeth's visits to Theros, Elspeth and Chandra's ages given in Magic 2014/Duels of the Planeswalkers and what Ajani did between the events of Theros and Kaladesh, one can calculate that close to three years probably passed. This is also consistent with Charandra's age during the events of Magic 2014/Duels of the Planeswalkers and Kaladesh.

Tarkir

The timeline of Tarkir was altered when Sarkhan Vol traveled back in time and saved Ugin from Bolas.

Innistrad

Some of the pieces of side-content from the original Innistrad storyline are dated and take place between Ava. 699 and 719, with the only major crossover to the main story being the war between Geralf and Gisa Cecani, which begins after the burning of the Cecani manor in late Ava. 715 and is ongoing at the end of the story in Ava. 719. If the original Innistrad set takes place in Ava. c. 719 and corresponds with 4558 AR, it would place Ava. 1 in c. 3840 AR. According to the Shadows Over Innistrad story "A Gaze Blank and Pitiless," Avacyn is said to have first appeared and killed Liesa and her flight "a thousand years" before 4559, and according to the story Promises Old and New, Sorin is stated to have not attended a vampire banquet in "over a thousand years." This would imply that Ava. 1 occurred centuries after Avacyn's creation, potentially coinciding with the church's founding. It took Sorin "six millennia" to come up with his plan to create Avacyn.^[228] This places Edgar's ritual within a thousand years of -2441 AR, with his birth not long before.

Sorin sealed the Eldrazi on Zendikar "more than 6,000 years" before Battle for Zendikar block and by then was already "at least a thousand years old."^[41] Assuming the sealing would have been less than 7,000 years earlier, this places it between about -2441 and -1442 AR, and Sorin's birth in or before -2442.

Children of the Nameless takes place approximately one year after the events of Shadows over Innistrad.^[162]

Kaladesh

Yahenni states that they have 54 days left to live in "Born of Aether", which takes place the evening of the day Chandra, Liliana, and Nissa arrive on Kaladesh. Yahenni has 12 minutes left in "In the Dead of Night", before gaining an additional 22 days through vampirism. Yahenni's penultimate party and passing away occur at the very end of the story, making Kaladesh Block roughly 76 days from beginning to end.

Yahenni's party happened one month after the Gatewatch arrived on Kaladesh. Tezzeret was defeated within two months of the Gatewatch arriving. The hour of devastation happens "a few weeks" after the defeat of Tezzeret.

Ixalan

Surface

Azor arrived on Ixalan in preparation for Ugin's and Nicol Bolas's fight on Tarkir in 3279 AR. At some point after, he delivered the Immortal Sun to the city-state of Alta Torrezon.^[186] The Sun stayed at a monastery there for "generations" before being moved to the continent of Ixalan, where it ushered in the creation of Orazca and later the Sun Empire. Orazca served as the Sun Empire's capital for "many centuries" before it was moved again to the River Heralds.^[325] Orazca was lost to the Sun Empire for "centuries."

Torrezon split into three kingdoms in 803 BD, beginning the Apostasine War.^[7] The War raged for 250 years, experienced 50 years of peace, and began anew in 495 BD, "centuries" after the Immortal Sun was taken from Alta Torrezon. The Legion of Dusk marched out of Alta Torrezon and across the continent "a little over four centuries" before 5 Dawn Era. In the century before the Dawn Era, the Legion completed its conquest and refugees fled the continent, later forming the Brazen Coalition.^[123] As the Legion of Dusk reached Ixalan "5 years" before The Lost Caverns of Ixalan 5 Dawn Era, there is likely a year zero in the Legion's calendar, with 0 Dawn Era being 4558 AR.

In Ixalan, Tishana feels Jace attempt to planeswalk twice, on the day of the race to Orazca and two months prior. Jace attempts to planeswalk three times. Immediately after arriving on Ixalan, forty days later on the day he is found by Vraska, and "several weeks" later on the day of the race to Orazca. Thus two months must have passed between Jace's being found and the race. Before leaving Ixalan, Jace noted that Gideon had "been trying to foist a workout regimen on [him] for a year now," so the entire Gatewatch era to that point may have lasted a couple more months than estimated.

Underground

The Age of the Sun "lasted for millennia."^[7] The Night War lasted 320 years.^[290] "Many centuries" after the first exodus when humans traveled from the Core to the caverns, the Mycotyrant was born. This event also occurred "millennia" before 5 Dawn Era, and caused humans to travel from the caverns to the plane's surface, later becoming the Sun Empire.

The Lost Caverns of Ixalan takes place "a year and some months" — but not "a year and a half" — after New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse in 4562 AR.

Eldraine

The 4561 AR approximation for the events of Throne of Eldraine: The Wildered Quest assumes that Will Kenrith and Rowan Kenrith sparked after the War of the Spark.
