seibenlore On a sidenote, are you gonna branch out and do lore about things other than Planeswalkers? Considering there are only so many of them. The story of planes, or aspects of them comes to mind. You could probably go into details about the lives of the Planeswalkers too.
Its cool that you mention this. I'm actually working on a lore story for Alara right now. Should be up very soon and will start a new series on the lore of Planes.
seibenlore Well you're a busy one. Where do you get your information on the lore videos you're making? Is it from the wiki, or do you read the books/novellas?
I have read the a majority of the books, novels and short stories. I read a lot of the stories written by the story designers of Magic. I do also use the wiki from time to time.
It's worth mentioning that the Nacatl aren't specifically anthro lions, but more generally feline, with males exhibiting the traits of both tigers and lions, and the females with traits of tigers and leopards. Other than that, this is a nice summary of Ajani's backstory.
Thank you so much Seibenlore! I remember when I asked if you were going to do Ajani next on the Liliana Vess video lore, I nearly cried tears of joy when I saw this ( Man Tears XD). It is awesome as always. You Sir are a gentlemen and a scholar. You did Ajani's lore perfectly and then some. I remember when I said that Ajani was underrated and had a tragic, but inspiring past. I cannot thank you enough, I will spread the word about you at the MTG shops around in my neighborhood. Keep on doing the good work Seibenlore.
Ajani is appearing in Kaladesh though not sure if he's gonna be a full on Planeswalker card. Though he will be a notable character (see Impeccable Timing)
***** I'm trying to imagine what the people are going to think of a giant Leonin appearing out of nowhere in a plane that doesn't have them... also I wonder how's his campaign in Theros doing?
I'm really liking the series so far. It seems a lot of people want to see Nicol Bolas, as do I, but I'm waiting for my favorite planeswalker who may have gotten printed, finally... Teferi! I'd love to hear his story. Thanks and keep them coming!
Hey man great job on the video, I can't get enough of these man. I honestly find all of the planeswalkers story's interesting but I've always wanted to hear about Tamiyo, the moon sage. I love using her in game
i think out of everyone, i really underrated Ajani, and reading more and more into his lore and story, he really has the deepest and most engaging history and self-conflict.
I'm not a Magic fan, but I saw Ajani Goldmane's action figure on store shelves. Seiben certainly deserves to buy one for himself if he doesn't already have one.
Ajani is arguably the most powerful planeswalker, next to only about three others! I however am really curious about "Derevi, empyrial tactician" & "The Mimeoplasm"... Could you possibly try to dig up the lore for these guys?
I'm torn between Ajani and Elspeth as my favorite Planeswalkers. And in the case of Theros, Xenagos was right all along about the gods, but he alone wanted to be worshipped ironically...
that would be interesting. Also, i'm really loving your lore videos! I have always liked th lore, but never really had a way to learn it. Also, will you be doing a Jeskai video?
This has only reinforced my love for Ajani and the cat creature type. Revolving around healing themselves and powering up their allies to rise against the darkness..... it’s just a wonderful thing to see.
seibenlore I have a theory about Elspeth's future, she will ascent as a goddess somehow, kill Heliod and take his place. I'm pretty sure it will in fact happen because it's foretold on the Future Sight's card Lucent Liminid (see its flavor), that wasn't only a Theros preview, but a glimpse from a future revisited Theros.
That is an interesting theory and could be accurate. I for one believe we will eventually get her out of the underworld, and she wont become a God, but rather, she will regain her powers and be our old Elspeth again :)
That's all quite nice to know, but he debuted in Lorwyn, what was he up to on that plane? In fact, can you do a video summing up the story of Lorwyn, its very interesting and I'm not 100% clear on it.
Are you going to do karn. If you do are you going to do multiple parts for him and I'd so would you do the same with Nicol bolis because they both have long story's behind themselves
I'm a bit of an ajani freak. I have 7 ajanis: ajani, mentor of heroes, ajani, wise counselor, ajani, strength of the pride, ajani,inspiring leader, ajani,valiant protector, ajani,the greathearted, and ajani unyielding
You forgot to mention that when Ajani face Nicol Bolas that Bolas took one of Ajanis eyes out in the fight. That being said thats why Ajani is always squinting with one eye shut :p
that's because Nicol bolas sees all and knows all. he is one of the oldest planes walkers in existence so that's a big reason why hes still around. not to mention if you ever read the champions saga books you would find out that nicol bolas used to be extremely powerful before all this a champion with a special sword cant remember his name its been awhile since i read it but he severely injures bolas with it by cutting his minds eye which was his most powerful ability. also makes it where bolas cant exist in reality anymore that's why hes always hidden and does his deeds from the shadows hes in another dimension.
I just want to point out that the agents of Erebos were never actually seen by Ajani, but that Brimaz and his followers took Ajani from Elspeth "for his own good". P:
Dang, Ajani's the guy who knows that the lack of faith is the weakness of any god. Imagine if he ends up falling into "the dark side" again and uses the loss of prayer and faith to slay the gods? New 52 Darkseid style? Haha, dang, to be the enemy of the god of gods, that's pretty epic.
To me, Ajani has always been the coolest plainswalker.
arcanineftw59 He is one of my favs too
I need Jazal for edh
I like sorin
I like turtles
i have two of him. I also have brimas, godsend, and xenagos. Its nice having an entire family who plays magic
This is by far the best of the series you're running.
And by now I'm really curious about Nicol Bolas, he seems to be mentioned in everyone's lore.
Yeah he is a big character. He deserves a special video to tell his story!

Follower of Ajani, always will be. ♡ I hope that they make another glorious version of him soon.
It's worth mentioning that the Nacatl aren't specifically anthro lions, but more generally feline, with males exhibiting the traits of both tigers and lions, and the females with traits of tigers and leopards.
Other than that, this is a nice summary of Ajani's backstory.
One of the deepest characters in the MtG lore. His and Elspeth's story always brings me to tears.
Hugs for the big cat man.
certified uwu moment
UwU
Seriously do not stop doing this, you have a great talent in weaving lore.
/relaying the lore in a very interesting manner
Thank you lol. I just love lore, especially the stories found in magic!
Thank you so much Seibenlore! I remember when I asked if you were going to do Ajani next on the Liliana Vess video lore, I nearly cried tears of joy when I saw this ( Man Tears XD).

Thanks I really appreciate it! It means a lot to see those who support this channel!
Well, with Theros Beyond Death out, you could say that Ajani's revenge plan against Heliod worked out better than he expected
So much pain, misery, and growth. These background stories are amazing! Thank you for the video!
Of course I love making these, it means a lot to see people appreciating them!
best planeswalker- i still hope we get a new ajani card soon
same. i have all 5
imagine him on innistrad
Ajani is appearing in Kaladesh though not sure if he's gonna be a full on Planeswalker card. Though he will be a notable character (see Impeccable Timing)
***** I'm trying to imagine what the people are going to think of a giant Leonin appearing out of nowhere in a plane that doesn't have them... also I wonder how's his campaign in Theros doing?
***** theros was 2014's block, I believe
Wow, thanks for this! I enjoyed learning about Ajani :D There's SO MUCH Magic lore so it's great to have someone orate it.
The story's are amazing, keep em coming bro!
Nicol Bolas is still my favorite walker but Ajani will always have a place in my heart
I'm a fan of this anthropomorphic Planeswalker with a Soul of Gold.
I'm really liking the series so far. It seems a lot of people want to see Nicol Bolas, as do I, but I'm waiting for my favorite planeswalker who may have gotten printed, finally... Teferi! I'd love to hear his story. Thanks and keep them coming!
Fuck me! I didn't know Elspeth was dead! By Heliod to boot! just..... wow.
+wanderingdude777 she is not dead she is just in the theros underworld. She can probably palneswalk out ant any time.
+marley perri-butler I hope your right... she is my favorite planeswalker
Hey man great job on the video, I can't get enough of these man. I honestly find all of the planeswalkers story's interesting but I've always wanted to hear about Tamiyo, the moon sage. I love using her in game
Dam I've been watching all your videos for the last week. And this 1 touched me the most. My 2nd fave walker behind Sorin.
So, I can't wait to go back to Alara! We recently got Marisi as a card. I want new legendary cats!
This planeswalker has always been my favorite, he's just so cool!
i think out of everyone, i really underrated Ajani, and reading more and more into his lore and story, he really has the deepest and most engaging history and self-conflict.
Thank you so much for this series , it is so cool ! It seems like a lot of hard work , keep the vids coming , I thoroughly enjoy watching them :)
Awesome episode thanks for the hard work.
Thanks I appreciate it!
Ajani is actually my first planeswalker. I really hope he is still legal to play now a days
I'm not a Magic fan, but I saw Ajani Goldmane's action figure on store shelves. Seiben certainly deserves to buy one for himself if he doesn't already have one.
Ajani is arguably the most powerful planeswalker, next to only about three others! I however am really curious about "Derevi, empyrial tactician" & "The Mimeoplasm"... Could you possibly try to dig up the lore for these guys?
Great work, once again. Nichol Bolas would be nice lure. He is shrouded in mystery.
He is on the schedule! :)
nice. glad to hear
Great and amazing episode! Keep them coming!
P.S. Ajani is my fav planeswalker by far
Thank you!
Ajani was the first Planewalker I pulled during my first draft, his story though is very sad :(
i just finished the chandra lore and then i wondered if ajani was here and then woop right at the time this upload comes out :D
Haha good timing!
Great video! The bolas chapter is going to be a good one.
I have something special planned for his story!
I'm torn between Ajani and Elspeth as my favorite Planeswalkers. And in the case of Theros, Xenagos was right all along about the gods, but he alone wanted to be worshipped ironically...
These keep getting better, but according to one of the Wizard RND it is Nack-tal
Awesome vid!! Continue the great work
Elspeth is no more...*Sniffles* I-I...I'm gonna miss her...and as I'm sure Ajani is thinking...(FUCK YOU HELOID!)
She will probably make a return.
But as what? White and Black? A spirit plansewalker? Either way, I hope she does. SHe is my second favorite, right next to Sorin at #1
She may have some black mana in her, but I believe she will basically be human.
that would be interesting. Also, i'm really loving your lore videos! I have always liked th lore, but never really had a way to learn it. Also, will you be doing a Jeskai video?
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy them! Yes ill be doing them right after this current series goes up. It kind of got interrupted lol.
This has only reinforced my love for Ajani and the cat creature type. Revolving around healing themselves and powering up their allies to rise against the darkness..... it’s just a wonderful thing to see.
Literally the my friends are my power archetype
Elspeth also had a troubled life
Indeed she did, I have a video on her coming up this week followed by her full lore video soon after.
cool
Seiben yessssss! I love your vids!
Thank you for the support and for everything else!
seibenlore lol "and for everything else" lol you are awesome
What are your sources? I'd like to see them.
I feel so bad for Ajani, all his friends keep dying :(
sweet vid man! love that lore! Vorthos for life.
We need to get Elspeth back somehow.... makes me so sad. Maybe she can kill Erebos or something.
She's dead now.
Kuro Shinko Yup but she isnt that far from the world of the living.
Its not far fetched thinking Elspeth may come back. :)
seibenlore I have a theory about Elspeth's future, she will ascent as a goddess somehow, kill Heliod and take his place. I'm pretty sure it will in fact happen because it's foretold on the Future Sight's card Lucent Liminid (see its flavor), that wasn't only a Theros preview, but a glimpse from a future revisited Theros.

This is awesome stuff, keep it up
This was the first time I really learned much about him - I really like him. :-)
A lot has happened in the 6 years since this. Update?
That's all quite nice to know, but he debuted in Lorwyn, what was he up to on that plane? In fact, can you do a video summing up the story of Lorwyn, its very interesting and I'm not 100% clear on it.
You should do the lore of Mirri, Jedit, Jareth, Raksha, Kemba and Brimaz
thanks for doing this and can you do a series on the different groups in magic like that one jace was apart of. also do you remember me?
Now he is compleated
Purrfect!
Are you going to do karn. If you do are you going to do multiple parts for him and I'd so would you do the same with Nicol bolis because they both have long story's behind themselves
this story is amazing
Love these videos
Thank you!
Best Planeswalker ever!!
Ajani Goldmane is my favourite Magic the Gathering character :)
I think that to me, Garruk has the saddest story
my ajani mentor of heroes is arriving soon
I'd like to hear about Dack Fayden and Sarkhan Vol, but Sarkhan should probably wait until the Khans of Tarkir block is over.
nicol bolas would be nice for next.keep up the nice work.
hes my second favorite plains walker after urza
this is my favorite planeswalker and its the reason I made my lion king deck
I'm a bit of an ajani freak. I have 7 ajanis: ajani, mentor of heroes, ajani, wise counselor, ajani, strength of the pride, ajani,inspiring leader, ajani,valiant protector, ajani,the greathearted, and ajani unyielding
Do you only do planeswalkers?
elspeth was my favorite planeswalker and i use a green white deck so this is cool
You forgot to mention that when Ajani face Nicol Bolas that Bolas took one of Ajanis eyes out in the fight. That being said thats why Ajani is always squinting with one eye shut :p
Can't wait for elspeth's lore :)
nice to see the first two planeswalkers i ever owned
really good stuff
Thank you!
Iwanna buy Ajani Goldmane now
that's because Nicol bolas sees all and knows all. he is one of the oldest planes walkers in existence so that's a big reason why hes still around. not to mention if you ever read the champions saga books you would find out that nicol bolas used to be extremely powerful before all this a champion with a special sword cant remember his name its been awhile since i read it but he severely injures bolas with it by cutting his minds eye which was his most powerful ability. also makes it where bolas cant exist in reality anymore that's why hes always hidden and does his deeds from the shadows hes in another dimension.
He's kinda like Satan, eh? He used to very powerful, but then he fell, and now he can only do evil by tempting others/possessing them
how do I out spell the person ajani And elpeth fought?
Xenagos?
Ajani is like the nicest guy (cat) ever.
Lol the thumb nail and picture I'm video is Ajani the mentor of heroes
Ajani is my favorite walker. Second would have to be sorin.
keep doing theese id like one on venser the sojourner, koth of the hammer or elspeth
Glad you enjoy the series, and sure thing!
Ajani is like the God of planeswalkers
Ajani is the best planes walker with the best arts mentor of heroes is the best
great video
Is there a difference between all the different Ajanis?
I just want to point out that the agents of Erebos were never actually seen by Ajani, but that Brimaz and his followers took Ajani from Elspeth "for his own good". P:
Great Videos! You should make a Bolas video.
I want a Ajani card now. Mainly because I feel so bad for him.
I literally almost cried
Dang, Ajani's the guy who knows that the lack of faith is the weakness of any god.
Imagine if he ends up falling into "the dark side" again and uses the loss of prayer and faith to slay the gods? New 52 Darkseid style?
Haha, dang, to be the enemy of the god of gods, that's pretty epic.
I actually really like this story my friend says that he can see me as Ajani
A FLUFFY!
Favorite planeswalker
Ajani is my 2nd favorite planeswalker other than tezzeret
Ajani my favorite plains walker
I've actually been writing fan fiction about Ajani :)
When could we see Ajani return in a set? I doubt he appears in Shadows over innistrad.
Some Guy oh wow thanks....
that was fuckin sad, i'm depressed now..... :(
yeah he's the best planeswalker for white, much better than gideon...
Both have pros and cons, but i prefer Ajani
if the bring back Elspeth she will be a zombie plainswalker most likely black white
Wait, how was Brimaz one of his "old friends"? Had Ajani been in theros before?
Can u plz do nical bolas because he is in some many stories
Yes he is one of Magics main baddies, he will get some special love in his own video soon!
how come it showed ajanis pride mate when he was talking about the dude that stole godsire. though it was kinda funny
Could you do Tamiyo or Kiora please?? They're my favourite
Can you do sarkhan vol?
He was my next most suggested planeswalker. So he will get his one video soon. Especially since he is being released in the new expansion.
i really want another ajani
