Forum postI like the instrumentation (dulcimer!!!), and the vocals work really nicely with the style. This sounds beautifully clean and clear. I like the chorus substantially more than the verse--the little melismas and where the vocal soars up high in the chorus are exquisite, reminds me of Maddy Prior's vocals for Steeleye Span--while the verse sounds a bit more like Renfaire pastiche to me. The interlocking vocals at the end of the song are great. I don’t really care about MTG myself, but the lyrics work well enough as “generic fantasy song” lyrics; they’re not too opaque to the listener. And you have a unique angle on the title. I do think with this combo of sound and subject matter, you could probably rake it in playing at conventions or licensing to Magic-themed Youtube channels or something.
