"As Gideon watched the initiate murder his crop-mate, his admiration of the city of Naktamun gave way to horror."

There are many important moments in the story, but the most crucial—called “story spotlights”—are shown on cards. These cards have the Planeswalker symbol in their text box; this symbol has no effect on gameplay. You can read more about these events in the official Magic fiction at http://www.mtgstory.com.
