I think magic golden age started with Mirridon. The set itself was powerful, card selection was top notch, and the art was a blend of the old magic look but with the modern design without being over the top. Magic design was great up to the events Khans of Tarkir. Every since the loss of block design and the push for more universe beyond, magic will never the same again.
Well put. I largely agree.
I'm not sure I agree. Mirrodin infamously almost broke the game with its extreme power level, which yes from today's perspective maybe isn't actually that bad but that says more about today's MTG than it does about Mirrodin. I'm sure the question really comes down to when a player got into the game. I started during the Mercadian Masques block, so to me everything from Urza's Saga to right around Onslaught block would be the golden age (with a special shout-out to Time Spiral block as well), and everything after feels like "new school" Magic.
Time Spiral was so great. I've seen few IPs reference themselves, play with their own history, and do a nostalgia trip so effectively
when the power creep is self aware
Lmao
Plus most of the illustrations are soulless at best
Thanks for collecting all these! I find them fun too especially when it isn’t as direct of a reference feels like knowledge of the game is rewarded by getting more out of a name or artwork!
Thanks for watching! Glad you found some value in it. Yeah, one thing I love about Magic is how it has in-jokes and references itself. It rewards people who have stuck with the game for a long time.
I love the references
Me too! They're fun
Thank you

Very interesting! Keep it up. I think your channel will become very popular 👍
Thanks Liam! For now it's just a hobby but we'll see...
You can see where Studio Ghible gets it's visual influences. Lovely.
Absolutely!
I need to watch this movie. 9:15 I'm not sure if its a little dose evil but rather disagreeableness. rather be truthful and stand your ground at the risk of hurting feelings and relationships, then lie and compromise to keep the peace. Great video, bro.
This whole thing is done by AI. Whoever created this video didn't read the book. Just try googleLM guys, it's free
I encountered Yuval Noah Harari's writing before he became an internationally known figure. It was a magazine article during a time when Ray Kurzweil's concept of the singularity was relatively novel. Even then, Harari seemed to me to be recycling ideas found in technical media, making bold statements without a deep understanding of the issues, and sometimes taking ownership of these ideas. Over the years, I have read and listened to more of his work, and this initial impression has not changed; on the contrary, it has been reinforced.
I've heard similar critiques. Some people say he's more of a good popularizer of ideas than an originator of them
Hey you're a fellow South African! Nice one boet - I'm also a fan 😊
Thank you! 🇿🇦
This is AI voiced as South African bro. Fake
@fibersden638 - damn dude! Only noticed that now. Should have commented 'nice one bot' lol

Love Japan , its people🌹its culture with all my kokoro😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
this song helped me figure out why i was always used by people
I love the 7th Edition artworks! But only after I separated Serra Angel from the rest of the set. 7th Edition Serra Angel is horrible. On a technical level it's a pretty good artwork, but on an aesthetic level she looks really ugly. Also, she doesn't feel like Serra Angel. For the longest time I had associated 7 Edition with ugly art because of Serra Angel alone. As soon as I left Serra out of the picture and looked at the rest of the cards, I finally see the great artwork in 7ED. Idk, Serra Angel was such a huge fan favorite that she somehow wrapped the perception of the whole set around her.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of that Serra Angel either. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Is there a connection between the end of real friends and the start of wolves?
They do sound similar...
Good video, cant help but be super distracted by that odd cut into a montage mid-sentence...

Beautiful video! Recently started gettin interested in shin-hanga and this video is a great introduction on Kawase's style and influence! If you don't mind me asking, what's the song used in the background? Added such a nice atmosphere
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I don't remember the song name offhand, but I will look it up for you

Why do people say that Ken killed the waiter? The waiter steered the car off the road. Ken had nothing to do with the car going off the road. It would have been better for the two if they hit the deer instead. It also wasn’t Ken’s fault that he didn’t have the lung capacity to free the waiter from the underwater car.
They say he killed the waiter because he knowingly manipulated a guy in his early twenties to sell and consume drugs. Most people say that the waiter's erratic steering of the car was heavily influenced by the drugs he did in an earlier scene. Also, he wouldn't have been jn the car in the first place if Kendall didn't ask him to so....
@@xavier-michaelmuli165I understand your reasoning, but you can kinda blame a lot of people with that logic, you could say the waiter wouldn’t have died if it weren’t for Tom and Shiv having their wedding there.
I love Japan & Japanese art and culture, Ukiiyo-e art, the Arts & Crafts movement, etc. Also love this period in history, arts, architecture, decor, happenings, music and thought very much. This art is deeply favorite for me!! I got to briefly meet one of my modern favorites, Yoshiko Yamamoto. This will be one of my favorite videos of all time! Thank you!
Thank you so much! That means a lot
7th edition is still my favorite set to this day. It's not only because I started with 7th, it is just legitimately still one of the best sets for both art and flavor text. The story is simple, sure, but there can be beauty in simplicity.
Hard agree!
These are gorgeous. I see a lot of similarities between Kawase and Maxfield Parrish in the use of light in early morning and twilight, and the tone palette. Don't know who influenced who, though (or even if they did, though it seems very likely each was aware of the other's work). They were contemporaries; perhaps it was mutual. I have some Parrishs and one Kawase; I'll have to get more Kawase now.
Interesting parallel between the two of them! Thanks for commenting
Aweh bru.
Howzit bro
Definitely my favorite vampire weekend song and one of my favorite songs ever. It stands out to me because it doesn’t feel like a song. Along with the genius lyrics, the instrumentation is very atmospheric and feels like a memory. Especially that bass work. The emotion is really hard to pinpoint. Ezra sounds weary and desensitized until he cracks at that climactic point near the end. The songs like nothing else from them or anyone else.
Well said!
Really interesting, now for the lyrics i dont understand ye with his laptop story at the end of the song
Supposedly Kanye's cousin stole his laptop that had private content on it and charged him money to get it back
You can see he may have been familiar with the work of Maxfield Parrish.
Very interesting observation!
@@conflux2300 Of course could just be coincidental. Parrish was born 1870 and Kawase 1883 and very possibly Parrish might have been influenced by Hokusai.
What in the world happened those last 2 minutes of the video my dude??
Copyright strike. There's a link in the description to a working version of the full video

They resemble some studio Ghibli shots
