Since each set has a story, I was wondering where the best place to see all the storylines.

MTGSalvation Wiki is a good start. Go to that site and just punch in the names of things you're looking for and there is bound to be something that will lead to something else that will lead to something else that will lead to something else as a good wiki site is supposed to do.

Next stop would be the various columns of the WotC team on the Wizards website (not so much our favs here on the iMtG forum, the R&D team, as they discuss the mechanics, development and industry more so than the story arcs and canon).

While still on Wizards.com, head over to the graphic novel section and give all these a read. These always show a small visual element or snippet of a particular planeswalker's journey in a given block. You often get to see sides of the PWalkers that the cards or columns don't show.

If thats still not enough, each block since Kamigawa (I think) has a Novel that is released sometime after the block is done. These follow the path of the block's protagonists and often gives meaning to why the cards interact so well or why the cards in a block do what they do.
For example, Scars of Mirrodin's novel, 'The Quest for Karn,' followed the path of {Venser, the Sojourner} and his comrades {Elspeth Tirrel} of Bant and {Koth of the Hammer} in their battle against {Glissa, the Traitor}, {Geth, Lord of the Vault}, {Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas} and the Phyrexian horde while searching their friend, {Karn, Liberated}, the only one who could end the war (needless to say, this was my fav novel so far and CANNOT wait for Innistrad's!).

Hope that helped. 😁
