I liked this lore, Kiora is cocky but rightfully so. It breaks from the overused tragic storylines and it pits Kiora against the god of sea herself! I find it interesting that Kiora can actually transport beings across planes. Does this apply to every being? Could she carry creatures she doesn't control? (e.g. gods like Thassa, friends, etc) If so, she'd be the cross-planes bus.
I really liked the idea on how Kiora and the others (Gideon, Nissa, Sorin) would come together at Zendikar, despite having separate storylines before (as what always happens) but this time really gives me the goosebumps!
A well done narration. Actually, i am excited for battle for zendikar's release because it has a high chance of featuring planeswalkers from my favorite color: GREEN. I have enjoyed playing green with splashes of any color (except for black) and im really hoping that kiora's appearance on zendikar would further inspire me to continue on building green blue decks.
I really hope that there´ll be plenty of Planeswalkers in the Battle for Zendikar block, it also would be epic having a mechanic between them and all the eldrazis
The battle for zendikar set is going to be amazing. Tons of planeswalkers and all their diverse abilities vs the eldrazi, devourers of entire planes. I CAN'T WAIT!!!
I'm pretty excited to see what Kiora does on Zendikar. It would pretty amazing if, with Thassa's Bident, she could summon Arixmethes to help aid Zendikar. Also gives the legendary beast a chance on a card it probably should've gotten during Theros.
Based on the artwork currently surrounding Battle for Zendikar I think Kiora will indeed play a huge role in the new set. I personally hope we get a new planeswalker card for her and maybe her prized jewel from the deep as well!
Well what a boat that. All puns a tide. Ok i'll get SEAreious now. This planes walker i did not know much about. Her reprint in the resent duel deck and the whole battle for Zendikar hype showed a lot people who she was. Great video and sea you later.
im very new to MTG, but i really hope to see, or hear the lore about Zendikar, and i think Kiora could play a big role, since she was left on a cliffhanger, and she had just got a hold of a very powerful object.
Brings me back to those days when the only thing we knew about Kiora was her name and an art... Then one day, poof, she was made into a card and her story was fleshed out in Theroes... Those were the days.. Always had a love for sea creatures and the waves, was overjoyed when she became featured on Theroes!!!
Judging by the art released she is a part of the ragtag team that will fight the Eldrazi. With that said she may not have her own card again until the 2nd set. I just cross my figures and hope she won't die because she is slowly growing to be a new favorite of mine.
Sam S he also instigated the Eldrazi's release, he almost destroyed Alara, he made a deal with Liliana on Ravnica, and he sent Tezzeret to new Phyrexia.
Thomas Tibbs we know he set a bunch of stuff in motion, nut besides that he hasnt done much recently. HOWEVER he does have a lot of pre- time rift lore on dominaria and other planes back when being a planeswalker was basically being a god
I do hope Kiora works closer with other planeswalkers to help save Zendikar. She is one of the few that I can see getting a new card or at least a reprint during Battle For Zendikar, along with Nahiri, Gideon, Sorin, and Ugin.
well, she was confirmed for battle for zendikar, wizards showed a pic of her fighting with the bident in the sea gate slaughter, that battle made gideon go to search the help of jace so its gonna be really interesting
Since the eldrazi are by nature indestructible, the only way she could help is to use æther magic (i.e. whelming wave, unsummon etc...) Her green magic ( to my knowledge) is comprised mostly of destroying Enchantment's or using creatures, both of which obviously will not help. A spell I think would be good in her arsenal is Sunken Hope.
Can you do an episode on the slivers? It's been a while since they were on cards, with the exception of a few in M15, but I really don't know a lot about them.
Could you do a lore on the topic of the Mending? I can't seem to find any information it other than the fact that it made planeswalkers weaker and no longer immortal. Also, do you think Kiora or Nahiri might be reprinted in Battle for Zendikar?

Yes! so glad you did Kiora! I love blue and green I have multiple decks of that color because I like their cooperation
"I will match Thassa drop for drop, and show a god what true power is." -Kiora.
I honestly knew nothing about this Plainswalker the lore is cool I can't wait to hear more
Kiora, the Party Crasher
Blue green has always been my favorite cover pair.

I just started watching your channel, and am very impressed. Thank you for filling in all the backstory of a game ive loved on and off for 20 years.
I never knew her lore before now. She actually seems pretty awesome. Good job on the video too seiben.
I've been playing magic for a few years now and never knew about this lore... this just makes the game even better in my opinion.
Kiora is favorite plansewalker (along with Jace), this video finally cleared up a few things, Thanks!
I really liked the idea on how Kiora and the others (Gideon, Nissa, Sorin) would come together at Zendikar, despite having separate storylines before (as what always happens) but this time really gives me the goosebumps!
I get more and more excited for the next set with every video you make.
Thanks for this! I just picked up the Elspeth vs. Kiora duel deck and was wondering about her!
Loving the flavor of Zendikar again. It's nice and unsettling to see the PlanesWalkers struggle against such awesome opponents.
Such a good story.
Man finding this channel has been super cool! I'm glad I found this in my suggestions :3
A well done narration.

I love how you narrate Kiora's story! You got my subscribe and like.
This is the perfect video for today. Kiora is one of my favorite planeswalkers and today just happens to be my birthday
Kiora just adds to the many cliffhanger stories that need to be picked up soon...
I really hope that there´ll be plenty of Planeswalkers in the Battle for Zendikar block, it also would be epic having a mechanic between them and all the eldrazis
I didn't play much during theros block, but it sounds really fun. Your channel is really neat btw. Keep up the good work!
The battle for zendikar set is going to be amazing. Tons of planeswalkers and all their diverse abilities vs the eldrazi, devourers of entire planes. I CAN'T WAIT!!!
Huh, Kiora seems kind of cool. Never bothered to read up on her lore myself so this was pretty sweet.
Keep up the good work!
Kiora is so awesome. She just does whatever she wants and doesn't care what stands in her way.
Another great episode. Love learning about all the planeswalkers stories
Kiora has always been my favorite walker. As soon as her story was revealed. I will be shocked if she isn't that impactful in Battle for Zendikar.
I could see her as a second set release in the block. Good work seiben!
During comic con's magic panel they revealed an art of Kiora and other planeswalkers along side Gidion
Awesome 8-bit song at the end... "Under the sea"!
Nice video!
Its seems that she gets little atention from the others youtubers unlike the great five from Origins, thanks for the lore
Thank you so much for making these videos!
i believe Kiora will play a part in the battle for as will Ugin and his dragon storm
When kiora had the bident pressing her she realized "oh wait I can just take this" then left
Kiora is by far my favorite Planeswalker. I can wait to see her show up in Zendikar
I can't wait for this set to come out, hopefully lifting the veil of mystery on several characters.
Kiora, the Crashing Wave has the best Kiora art! It reminds me of a Japanese wood cut. :)
I'm pretty excited to see what Kiora does on Zendikar. It would pretty amazing if, with Thassa's Bident, she could summon Arixmethes to help aid Zendikar. Also gives the legendary beast a chance on a card it probably should've gotten during Theros.
Kiora already appeared in some art work for BFZ so it's safe to assume she will at least be part of the story
Kiora is deffinately a fun planeswalker to have in a super friends deck spawning large sheilds to protect the rest
Excited about the possibility of Kiora in the new Zendikar set!!! Merfolk are my favorite. Maybe they will finally make a Kiora playmat too.
Another great video. Just another reason to look forward to Friday nights.
Based on the artwork currently surrounding Battle for Zendikar I think Kiora will indeed play a huge role in the new set. I personally hope we get a new planeswalker card for her and maybe her prized jewel from the deep as well!
I have a proxied kiora in my cube, and could really use the real one, keep up the great work.
I can't wait to see how big of a part she will have in Battle for Zendikar.
Kiora has been one of my favs for a long time
I LOVE Kiora's art as well as her power to control sea monsters.
Thanks for this history leason
So excited for the next part of the Zendikar storyline!
Well what a boat that. All puns a tide. Ok i'll get SEAreious now. This planes walker i did not know much about. Her reprint in the resent duel deck and the whole battle for Zendikar hype showed a lot people who she was. Great video and sea you later.
I've never played blue-green, but kiora would definitely make me want to. Krakens for days!
Love the reusable explore on her card
I thought I knew most of Kiora's lore but the fact that she is from zendikar surprised me.
I didn't know Kiora was from Zendikar, this was a great video! The gods of theros are some of my faves
im very new to MTG, but i really hope to see, or hear the lore about Zendikar, and i think Kiora could play a big role, since she was left on a cliffhanger, and she had just got a hold of a very powerful object.
Brings me back to those days when the only thing we knew about Kiora was her name and an art...

Those were the days..
Always had a love for sea creatures and the waves, was overjoyed when she became featured on Theroes!!!
Love to see these lore videos. Can't wait for the movies to come out!
Judging by the art released she is a part of the ragtag team that will fight the Eldrazi. With that said she may not have her own card again until the 2nd set. I just cross my figures and hope she won't die because she is slowly growing to be a new favorite of mine.
Nice insight on Kioras lore. I never knew she had anything to do with zendikar
MTG lore never ceases to surprise me
I really hope they bring back the full art lands back!!!!
It is I from the future, and I must say that they have returned.
yea, i want to know whats the lore of nicol bolas, but i think it will be good to hear why nicol bolas and ugin are fighting
Love it. Thanks for sharing this one, well done!
I hope she plays a big role. Seeing as many planes walkers come back to help I think would be really cool.
I can't wait to see which planeswalkers are going to play a part in Battle for Zendikar, it's going to be epic!
didnt relize how awesome her story was
I really enjoy all of these lore videos that you do. Keep up the great work. :)
I'm starting to think between Origins and Battle for Zendikar there are going to be an abundance of planeswalkers. This should be a fun year for MTG!
Thank you for doing this video it answered so many of my questions!
Nicol Bolas Next.
Thomas Tibbs we dont know much about bolas, he is a powerful dragon who killed ugin in a previous timeline and he eats lots of mana
Sam S he also instigated the Eldrazi's release, he almost destroyed Alara, he made a deal with Liliana on Ravnica, and he sent Tezzeret to new Phyrexia.
Thomas Tibbs we know he set a bunch of stuff in motion, nut besides that he hasnt done much recently. HOWEVER he does have a lot of pre- time rift lore on dominaria and other planes back when being a planeswalker was basically being a god
good point
Sam S We know a lot about bolas, just not about his childhood, or spark or shit. But we know more of him that Kiora.
This was awesome!! Can't wait to hear more about her!
Loved the vid!!! Keep it up, can't wait for more FNL!!
Love your vids! Mtg storytelling at its finest.
Amazing, kiora as my favourite walker still gains my devotion xD
Battle for Zendikar's story is gonna have so many planeswalkers in it.
I do hope Kiora works closer with other planeswalkers to help save Zendikar. She is one of the few that I can see getting a new card or at least a reprint during Battle For Zendikar, along with Nahiri, Gideon, Sorin, and Ugin.
Kiora is almost ready to flipper out against the Eldrazi
*ba-dum-pish*
Really cool stuff. I'm always looking forward to more!
Did anyone else notice that the waves behind Kiora on the card are very reminiscent of the waves from "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" painting?
Thanks for Doing Kiora. It is getting pretty close to zendikar and I was wondering if you were going to wait for it or do so before.
Wow I barely knew anything of Kiora's lore. It'll be interesting to see what she will be doing coming this fall
that was cool. i didn't know kiora had such a story
I agree, ugin would be an awsome lore, plus he is also involved with zendikar
well, she was confirmed for battle for zendikar, wizards showed a pic of her fighting with the bident in the sea gate slaughter, that battle made gideon go to search the help of jace so its gonna be really interesting
nice as always
Under the sea...Nice touch there.
Since the eldrazi are by nature indestructible, the only way she could help is to use æther magic (i.e. whelming wave, unsummon etc...)

A spell I think would be good in her arsenal is Sunken Hope.
Kiora is a sweet PW who will help Gidion in the fight. there is artwork from WOTC out there.
I'm still fairly new to Magic but the upcoming Battle for Zendikar set is pretty exciting.
If more of Kiora's background is given to us in the future, will you do an update video to cover the new info?
Kiora is one of my favorite planes walkers ability wise art wise she is my favorite
Awesome video as always Seiben! :)
I think she will play a major part in battle for zendicar she is on one of the cards at least
noah barrientes i would like to see a new walker card for her
noah barrientes I agree, she plays a major role in the zendicar arch and she will most likely be in the new set
Kiora is pretty cool xD. I'm so excited for Battle for Zendikar.
Can you do an episode on the slivers? It's been a while since they were on cards, with the exception of a few in M15, but I really don't know a lot about them.
She is definitely one of the most fun casual planeswalkers
Kiora became such a BAD ASS with her last uncharted realms
Could you do a lore on the topic of the Mending? I can't seem to find any information it other than the fact that it made planeswalkers weaker and no longer immortal. Also, do you think Kiora or Nahiri might be reprinted in Battle for Zendikar?
i never new that about kiora shes such a cool planeswalker
Getting closer to battle for zendikar
Really wish wizards would put more into Kiora's story... guess we'll have to see in the next set!
i really hope they make a new version of Kiora for Battle of Zendikar. that will be really awesome.
