Gideon is actually a much cooler character than I thought at first. Without this videos, I never would've known how awesome he is! Thanks, seiben!
ns Youre welcome friend!
Whoa Gideons Spark igniting was not badly written or a missed opportunity. He challenged a God and Failed, the very people who have followed him died because of his recklessness that he's always had since childhood.
+Ummm what? I know, it seems like a moment of huge emotional turmoil. I think it makes sense
of all my search, this is best MTG lore teller on youtube who know his stuffs, and most important, with clear voice and easy to understand explanation.
Love the series as always. Love your voice, don't ever stop making MTG lore videos!
i absolutely love how his nickname is beefcake
Great job on this video Seiben. One of my favorite series next to Wedge's Lore videos!
I just started watching your videos a week ago and I can just simply say that I love and am grateful for what you do I love the amazing storylines and the vast universe of MTG and you bring a lot of the questions and amazing background to light with your videos keep it up!
Hey man, well put together video. I really enjoyed hearing the back story! Thanks
Love the lore videos. just got into them a week ago and i am really like it. thanks for making them.
Alex Johnston Thank you for watching and enjoying them!
This was video was awesome. Thank you very much for making it.
Great video dude, keep up the good work.
Stijn Marsman Thanks for the support!
Lifelong training to become a hoplite?
Hoplite warfare was adopted to get the most efficacy for minimum training.
While that is true Akros is based on Sparta which had men stay as lifelong soldiers and trained all the time unless they were at war
Thanks for the video! I really enjoyed Gideon's backstory and his tale is a pretty classic Greek tale of the hero who brings his own downfall (thinking be could take on erebos causing the death of his irregulars)
DanteLucian Thats a good point and it really is like those old tales, I just feel like they kinda rushed it at the end there.
love the video, more lore videos about older planes and legendary creatures!
Awesome lores man! Keep Going ;)
Great video, Thanks!
In Ancient Greek, the iota is pronounced like a soft J. Also, the 'io' is what's called a dipthong where two vowels make a new sound. When pronouncing 'io', it's more of a 'yuh' sound. Therefore, it wouldn't be 'Ee-or-uh', as you pronounced it, it would be more like 'Yur-a'. Hence why it gets confused into Jura on Bant.
MTG Jack Wow thanks for the info on that! I always like to hear things like this!
No problem. I'm actually brushing up on my Ancient Greek right now as I'm heading to grad school next month.
Native Hellenophone here, can confirm.
Also kytheon could have been a name but gedeon is our original historic version: pronounced Yeh-theh-eon in a flowing fashion with a delta-heavy "TH" sound.
Excited to see how they grow Gideon's lore to bridge the gap from his spark igniting to the planeswalkers of Justice we know
Really cool video thanks a lot! ^^
Loving the show. Thanks for making them
First time watching one of your videos. Thanks for the insight.
Cool. Great videos!
nicely done!
Love the lore vids keep them coming
Justin Blechinger Thanks for the support!
Keep doing what you do!
***** Thanks for the support!
Excelent quality and story telling.
great job dude
I personally love the longer lore videos and never mind sitting through them
charadesareawesome Thats awesome to hear, I was curious if it were too long.
The new story was pretty interesting but from what you told us at the end about his old origin's story, I like that one so much better. It would have been amazing to include a fight with a god in his new story. His friends deaths leading to his spark just seems like the same situation that lead to a lot of planeswalkers sparks (Liliana and her brother, Chandra and her parents (along with almost being executed). Still was nice to finally learn a little bit about Gideon. He was one character I did not know a lot about so thanks for the video!
MFalconGSS You're welcome and yeah I feel the same way. Jace was able to ascend from great knowledge and the betrayal of his master, why couldn't Gideon spark from an epic fight?
Great video, Gideon is awesome!
Hi sibenlore, awesome video! I also really like the Gideon card from Origins, hope it fins a mono white Aggro deck in standard :)
Yay you took our advice! Then again, you probably had to wait for more information, so I see why.
Keep up the good work.
Love your vids seiben. Can you do a video over all of the available lore for Nicol Bolas?
Well we actually got to see a little more of Gideon in the story "Project Lightning Bug." Apparently he planeswalks regularly to Ravnica to check on the Boros and the events there (which leave Ral Zarek and Jace Beleren a little uneasy) most likely from Zendikar when the Eldrazi aren't trying to kill some place (just speculation there though).
I do have to agree though, I thought it was a very nice story (Young Kytheon is pretty entertaining), but it was a missed opportunity. The three battles back to back seemed rushed and repetitive and it is kind of a let down that his spark didn't ignite from at least killing the Titan. Of all the Origin stories, his causes the most confliction with past lore (Chandra's a close second).
My biggest hope though is that each of the Planeswalkers get a continuation to each of there stories through the rest of July-August. It feels like there's still more to uncover about their pasts.
Thanks for the lore!!!!!
Another great video
pervavita Thanks!
Gideon's lore is really sad, and I like how they made it so his name wasn't Gideon at first, but I think that really added to his lore.
Pk Plays I would agree with you, but the way they changed his name was kinda lame. "Oh yeah they kinda misheard my name, so I changed it"
seibenlore I understand where your coming from. I think if it was a better reason to change his name then I guess it could have been better. Thanks for replying
I overall really like his new origin, but you made exceedingly good points. There are some major oversights, not just nitpicks, but with things like the origin of his signature weapon, that is a real disappointment to fans of the lore.
Great video as always. I appreciate your perspective as well as summarizing the stories in an interesting way for those of us with short attention spans (i.e. Me).
Keep on keepin' on!
Good video. BTW, there was a lore in uncharted rhelm about Ral Zarak and Jace with their Niz drama. Gideon made a cameo. Correct me if I am wrong, Gideon is still in Boros at the time.
When they originally released that they were using Gideon as opposed to Ajani as the white planeswalker for origins, I was slightly disappointed. But after reading this story on uncharted realms and hearing it here, I take it all back. Gideon is a beast!
Awesome video
Gg dude keep up the good work
Heyo. i have waited for a long time to learn his lore
Goodness, Gideon is just too cool.
The Subversive Side Agreed!!!!
Looking forward to more videos and give aways! :) love the channel
Owen H Hood Thank you! There will be plenty coming in the future.
Great vid.
Neat. I really liked the first Gideon card!!
Very good video, I definitely recommend to anyone even remotely interested in Magic Lore.
Collson Nielsen Thanks for the support! I appreciate it!
Best video yet.
Can you put were you get the pictures from or what cards there used on
at least you will have the opportunity to do a full lore video on nissa when her origin comes out like you did with gideon here.
Omg so cool. Love his Loren!
Definiatly interesting. Who knows, they may explain more soon.
Looking forward to trying out the new Gideon card
Gideon is my favorite i have been waiting for this :)
Love your vids
I like this lore keep up the good work
Awesome!
great video
I love your videos Seiben! can you do a lore video on Gisa and Geralf? Thank you!
I hope you elaborate more on how all the walkers are becoming generic. so far Jace's story is my favorite
Is their going to be a part two to his origins like what he does on bant or is that not going to happen?
Gideon is awesome. I look forward to seeing how Zendikar goes for him.
Vyrrk Yeah I can't wait!
I agree with this video completely about his storyline , but I feel it was changed so that it would be better flowing rather than just epic . Anyhow great video I knew almost nothing about him beforehand
I was surprised to find out the white planeswalker for origins was gideon and not ajani, i have a feeling they're hyping him up for zendikar.
Kalobeify Like wise, and it kinda makes sense. Ajani and Elspeth were just used in a major story plot for Theros, they needed fresh blood.
Same for nissa instead of garruk
the magic origins lores seem super sick so far
Gideon's story, particularly his Spark ignition, was meant to reflect Greek hero stories, particularly how many of them die because of their hubris. Icarus and Belerophan are perfect examples.
I have Gideon, Champion of Justice, and fancy his planeswalker's abilities. I want to see how this card is, and I like seibenlore's videos!
Great video
Jason Binkley Thanks for the support!
seibenlore hey you're supposed to say congratulations you won a free card. Lol. Seriously love the channel.
Gideon is amazing, can't wait for nissa lore
12:55 what's that card called?
i thought he meant his home as gideon "reborn" on bant, his adopted name and plane, not the home of kytheon from akros. its still mostly the same, the changes are alright, just made it easier for new people to understand i guess. nice vid :)
Nice lore good sir.
dope plainswalker and need more and more lore yay
James Russell I'll be happy to provide it!
The story is pretty nice. They should make a movie based on the characters. :D
ikr
i do like that he gained his spark after such - Tragic Arrogance - was such an emotional moment and am sad that his weapon was changed and unmentioned :(
Regarding the lack of a red-green god: WE see the lack of a red-green god, but it's not like the Therans see that there is a lack of anything. They just see 14 gods.
Also, regarding the similarity of the planeswalkers: Remember that the spark is ignited by an intense moment of emotional/physical stress. It's not surprising that they ignited similarly with "someone close to them died"
Good episode
One of my favorites!
Yacob Malik Hope you liked the vid!
Great lore
One of my favorite planeswalkers
I think you're right about the potential of creating the old god of revels for Gideon to defeat
tF1028lax Would have been cool, alass we didnt get it.
I love this series.
I think Gideos is gonna die on Amonkhet, I remember seeing his official lore and that begins with him saying that, laying on the floor shadowed by Nicol Bolas... And you know what happened at the end of Aether Revolt's story? They decided to go confront Bolas!
Can't wait for magic origins
Hey Siben great video This one has been your favorite out of all of the your plasewalker Origins video. The length of this one was amazing . I feel like it was the most disappointing thing Wizard's has written of the 5 I felt like the theory of the Green red god. Love your video's and hope you have a great 4th.
Great vid! Is fate reforged the reason wizards are changing the origins for planes walkers?
Gideon lore is impressive. The fact he was willing to protect the weak and bring justice to evil
CurseWarrior25 That's what he, hieromancy, and white manas all about.
Remember Time warps, personal perseption, and simply the player using him as a magic spell (Popularity) all distort his plot story
I've never used Gideon in a deck, for white i usually prefer Elspeth. But, its interesting to hear the back story.
Love the script, but you gotta find more pictures to put in these videos. I imagine it is difficult to do, but it would make this 100% better.
Actually he is theros but the company that did the game did not get actually info from wizards wizard however did apologize for the misunderstanding
I feel like Gideon could have easily fit in with the noble people of Bant. Him coming from Thereos was a neat touch. Although he seems like he was never really tied down to any plane and I would have rather had wizards focus his later lore more on a single plane. I hope they make up for his lore in the new zendikar set.
Christopher Gruda I hope so as well! I just have no clue what he did on bant lol.
This is One of My favorite planeswalkers!
at 12min 30 seconds is a card i could not find nor name associated with it. what is that card or was it just art i cant find it.
Tragic Arrogance
Wow that is different from the old story but the last notional trauma would have built character
love the lore acticles
DSC Yeah they are great!
makes you wonder what'd happen if a revived Elspeth met Gideon and they decided to go to Theros and cause Heliod some trouble
Wow this is so crazy
