I love how Jace is just standing in the back in the opening picture, while the other are fighting
+Nazgul gaming "yea hold on im texting someone quick you handle the eldrazi"-jace
Honestly love theses lore videos you really do the uncharted realms justice!!!
I think it'll be good in the long run. Making mascots for the MTG brand is a necessary step in making our dreams of an MTG movie or series that much closer to a reality.
I think the Gatewatch idea is great and once it's all sorted out it will provide some reoccurring and familiar faces in story, just so long they don't completely take over.
Mtg Blocks have always had little side stories.
(Takir had Narset's ascension, Innastraid had Tibalt, etc.)
I wouldn't worry too much
I can easily see Bolas becoming a direct enemy of the Gatewatch. I think this is a really cool development, and I hope that other walkers are recruited into the Gatewatch. It's like the MTG equivalent of the Avengers.
You were right.....much foresight you had. It is unfortunate that what you foretold came to pass in such a way though.
How exactly does Jace fight? Does he bore the Eldrazi to death with politics?
Complains about his lack of coffee
I, Jace the rather useless Beleron, do hereby pledge to bore enemies to death with rhetoric and logic.
All jokes aside, he has a wide variety of magic he can use.
+Emery Jacobowitz He does that pathetic fighting technique where hes constantly slapping/hitting his enemies while looking away
I found you
Great video, awesome as always. :)
Literally in the story the characters are:
-Gideon: The heroic leader
-Jace: The logical strategist
-Chandra: The tsundere
-Nissa: The derp
Chandra's just like "lolololololol, K I'll watch."
Great videos man, keep up the good work.
Woooo!!!! To both them, the planeswalkers and to this channel which provides the very informative knowledge on the story. Much thanks.
i think it's a good thing if they attempt this alliance and seeing Ob Nixilis tear them apart as he promised.
That would be quiet a satisfying way of moving to something more different than your tipical good guys win story :D
I think it's kind of a good idea; as it will give some kind of story related link for all the planeswalkers in that set, giving each set a good guys vs bad guys theme and that would help people get into the lore and it could mean that we get a few more powerful cards to balance either side of it.
I really do love how the story's turning out.
I hate it's way too cheesy eldrazi should just win and all of the planes walkers are not that good compared to other ones and karn ftw new phyrexia ftw
Ya know with the kind of carnage that goes on in MTG I'm surprised it took this long to get a group like the Gatewatch
SO epic.
No other words needed.
EARTH, FIRE, WIND, WATER, HEART!
+Francisco Sampedro Earth (Nissa), Fire (Chandra), Wind (Gideon), Water (Jace)... Heart? (Ob Nixilis). Yeah, they are fucked.
I never saw Gideon make a Windattack and Jace has nothing to do with Waterpowers :-D
Gideon's whip-blades appears windy.
Jace's mana symbol is a water droplet.
Just... Roll with it, and Ob Nixilis has a big heart, I mean, it takes lots of forgiveness to release a multiverse-annihilating monster... He slapped Jace out of his alcoholism, helped Gideon get over his hydrophobia and taught Nissa the importance of life.
+Existential Error Lol
One of the card arts for the card Counterspell has Jace casting a watery looking spell
Too cool! Love this story line. Didn't thing anything could top Born of the Gods, then Kahns, happened, then this. Wow! Hooked for life.
I feel like any team, the planeswalkers need to fully commit to each other as a team to get the job done as a cohesive unit. The heroes always win but it's going to be a long and drawn out fight.
I can see this intersecting another storyline. There is one other GREAT threat to the Multiverse: The Glistening Oil. After the Eldrazi I can see them aiding Koth & Karn in retaking Mirrodin, & perhaps other planes claimed by the oil.
Thank you for sharing such awesome lore
oath provides a lore reason for planeswalker reprints in each block. only time will tell as they move to the new 2 card set format.
Can't wait for the next set for the new story.
I know that they just started the Gatewatch... but i cant wait for the Planeswalker Civil War Set!
Much epic, very cool!
I think it's a good thing that there is now something to tie each Plain's story together in an overarching way, but it will suck if from now on it's just the Gatewatch in different wacky situations rather than each Plain actually having it's own stories. Basically, I want the stories from the Plain's perspective and not the Plainswalkers'.
And then they went to Amenket !
You get a defeat !
You get a defeat !
You all get a defeat !
I think this is important because eventually they will have to fight bolas, and yes i think he will get his power back making him potentially more dangerous than the eldrazi, and I don't think any one of them could do it alone.
+Zed Do'urden i think bolas is going to be needed to defeat the titans, which makes me think he may give them an ultimatum. "i cant rid zendikar of the titans, but im not gonna do it for free.." then they sell their souls to bolas and he steals their power and leaves the titans...bolas wins like always!
In a way it's like a callback to the Urza and the other Planeswalkers who stood against the Phyrexians. This can do well if done in moderation. Say every couple of years they comeback.
I do consider that the "Gatewatch" is a good idea, so far, magic sets have had only minor and sometimes, poor connections between them, like how Elspeth left Myrrodin and ended in Theros just cause she had to be there for the story, the reason itself was really poor, but it sort of worked for the story, same with how Gideon started in Alara and he's now in Zendikar cause that's where his fight took him to, funny enough, for a planeswalker who's entire drive is to protect the innocent, he missed some really important event where he would've made more sense to be in, but with the "Gatewatch" now formed, the group becomes a common link in order to drive the story forward, like now they could move on to help Liliana cause of her past with Jace and she could end up being the black mana Planeswalker that they need to make the first 5 once again, also being a centered group means that they bring to the table all their possible enemies for future sets, like if Liliana joins them the "Ravenman" could appear latter to be an antagonist, same for Jace who already has Tezzeret out to get him, each one of them as of now, would be a driving force to take the story forward and that could lead to places where the already mentioned "old story" would not go, since now every single expansion will be link to the over-arching story, not just a random plane where cool and terrible stuff happens and one of them is just there cause of blind luck.
Avengers Assemble!
like. 👍

Lemme guess Iron man is Gideon?
+Michael Cabangbang More like Cap, Jace can be Iron man.
+Avon Cain I dunno jace is blue and cap is blue...
I think it awesome that they have a Gate watch
Love the videos!
the oaths got me all emotional!
it draws every thing together, all the other planewalker and there crossing paths
Nissa making that Spock hand! Live long and prosper y'all!
+Seibenlore To keep moving forward with hope is a true aspects of courage and perseverance. This also is an act of honor. What I mean is this alone shows the will of no one man but an entirety of two or more individuals either physically beside each or spiritually beside each other. I think that oath the 4 made was a true act of what I or any other person or people would do in these 4s shoes. To keep moving forward means to keep your head up high; cast aside your fears and to jump into action. This is a trait, that I believe, is in everyone of us. To see hope even in a time of turmoil as this, as the eldrazi, is a true act of moving forward. So Seibenlore my answer is yes I believe that moving is a good act, trait and aspect that every person should have. For this I believe, I will keep watch!
I don't mind the story focusing on the gatewatch, but the story is feels more like a saturday morning cartoon than an epic fantasy story.
Gives a great opportunity to tackle some of the big threats that Wizards has kind of ignored lately by introducing the watch. Pyrexia, Bolas, I'm looking at you.
By the image in the end the eldrazi Titans are huge
Nicol Bolas is CONFIRMED for Shadows over Innistrad!!! HYPE
YEESSSS
+Fightingshadows How? o.O Where? Why? :D Link!
Alexander Ringler Check this out

wait.... there is a 50/50 chance this is fake.
hype lost
:''''''-( look at my tears. all your fault! (kidding) Anyway I want bolas back :''''''''-(
I don't see an issue with the Gatewatch. I think it's cool. In duel of the planeswalker they essentially said Gideon was going to form the a unity of planeswalkers. I'm just surprised it took so long.
Not just Zendikar... (cough, cough, looking at you Innistrad!)
Fast forward to Hour of Devastation: "...Never Again..."
With thier four powers combined they summon Zendikar's greatest champion - CAPTAIN PLANET!
What is the music you use in the back round for this video?
where's the song you used for the reading from?
Personally, I think this change of story telling could be good for the continuity of the game. It can also be overdone, but if handled well they could return thematically to the cross-block story telling of Weatherlight (which wasn't necessarily executed as well, but the story was intriguing, at least to me). Having a sense of continuity is helpful for building characters that change and grow, rather than having to start out fresh in every single block. On the other hand, this doesn't mean every block needs to be married to the Gatewatch concept, but everything can be tied together in some fashion, and new walkers - friend and foe alike - can be introduced, along with old, non-Gatewatch walkers returning. There is at least potential here, so I am curious to see what they do with it.
I know I'm the only one who cried with the whole "Oaths" part. I just know it.
Calling it right now, emrakul is going to alara, one of the only planes besides zendikar that has the largest amount of mana, and we all know how much the eldrazi like that
AWSOME!!
I hope that they get new planeswalkers and rotate out some older ones. Nice undertale end music
I can't find the song used. Could someone please put a link as a reply?
The art at 1:45 is awesome. Anyone know where I can find it?
As long as they don't tie the Gatewatch into everything, I think it will be good.
In the name of Zendikar and for all the multi-verse I will keep watch
Ugh...Gideon and the power of frendship! (Alternate chapter name)
Jace was useless before, how is he helping now?
Ever try unsummon, dood?
Bouncing all the eldrazi lol or dismissing them into dreams lol
Anaru_ LST 😂 Lol I did that to my buddy
Chandra's fire,
Nissa's connection to zendikar,
Gideons strength of will,
Jace's ......... insight
Also the fact that Jace is the guild pact of Ravinica... if Jace could supply anything is his magical knowledge, his strategic mind, and at the very least a headquarters for the Gatewatch.
+Eon Emerald I know it was a joke
+Finnan Cahill He's abit like Batman... minus all the combat skills xD.
+Garowice yep
How does emrakul travel between planes?
Wouldn't it be awesome if in later sets more oaths where to come out For example Oath of Ugin or Oath of Narset
I see the Gatewatch as the justice league/ avengers of MTG.
Gideon is superman, stubborn and committed to the protection of others, while Jace is Batman, calculating and strategic (strong without strength).
Which superhero correspond with Nissa and Chandra respectively?
In all honestly its about damn time MTG came out with a planeswalker group like the Gate Watch. thoughts?
Chandra, don't you mean that you should all...'gather' your magic? huehehehe
I LOVE THIS :D
Most epic moments in gaming
I'm not entirely sure at which point it is established that Kozilek and Ulamog can planeswalk?
In all honesty, where's Sorin? He has connection to Zendikar too. Is he still in Tarkir? Or is he going back to Innistrad?
+PirateMaster45 judging by spoilers he's being attacked by nahiri
+Zoeila The Kor planeswalker? Aren't they good friends?
He was in Tarkir?
+johnnyscifi yeah, he was looking for ugin, because the eldrazi got loose
+johnnyscifi yes. And we may see nahiri (her presents in SOI is confirmed by the flavor-Text on some of the leaked cards) and Sorin (she mentioned him) in Innistrad.
+PirateMaster45 Sorin didn't helped zendikar. So nahiri got angry and it looks like she finaly found sorin
Also, Ulamog is nothing but ash. Thanks to Chandra!
notice when they were talking about their powers no one said anything about Gideon
With our powers combined we make Captain Planet... wait wrong series.
I really wished the eldrazi won ( seriously it seems so logical and seems so fitting)
Where do you find and read these lores?
+Zinguin_ the magic story column in the magic the gathering page
the articles are link in the description.
The world is being completely destroyed and all you planeswalkers can come up with is FRIENDSHIP? I personally dislike this ending because this is the one thing I hoped never would happen in Magic. They just go the easy "teamwork" way out. The breakdown:
Gideon: "If we work as a team then we will win and the Eldrazi will die! For this reason I will keep watch."
Nissa: "If that's what it will take to get you idiots to stay, then sure, I'll keep watch."
Jace: "I kinda feel bad after being such a jerk to Nissa and I don't want to be that one guy that loses a plane to these things, so I guess if that makes you happy I'll keep watch."
Chandra: "I got over my rebellious phase and I'm looking for something to commit to, so yeah, why not? Sure, I'll keep watch."
POWER RANGERS GO!!!!!!
And this is how Zendikar was saved. Sadly.
GreekGeek6467 liliana: i need you guys to kill my demons, so i’ll keep watch
When did the planeswalkers become captain planet's planeteers?
They should form a band, maybe, earth, wind and fire. Oh wait.
I'm so happy that the multiverse will now be protected by these goofballs
kinda emotional they made the oaths
what if new planes are constantly being created, and the multiverse has limited mana to invest into new planes, and the purpose of the eldrazi is to recycle mana of old planes to create new ones.
GO GO POWER RANGERS!!!
Good thing or not the Gatewatch was inevitable. Why? Nicol Bolas
so nahiri is a villain in shadows over innistrad
I dont like a group of planeswalkers running around being all buddy buddy killing evil, every plane has its own story with some connection to the other planes but this maybe means they will most of the time jump in when there is danger. Who knows maybe an eldrazi eats one of them :)
Who Watches the Watchers?
Kozilek and its Bismuth
Yay Chandra
Also can't Jace just get the two titans to kill each other and they kill the winner? The land is already screwed up so two titans fighting won't mean much.
They don't think they just costume Jace can't control that
Undertale music is the best music
you are awesome
I dont hope they cant defeat the eldrazi
Yaaaaaaas more undertale musics!
Aaanndd... Where is Ugin exactly?
At the eye still fixing it I think?
Not just him but Sorin and Sarkhan Zendikar has dragons and it is his fault
I though Sorrin was sent after Nahiri and Sarkhan was messing around having fun with dragons on Tarkir. I would think dragons were already on Zendikar before he came around
Omg this so freaking anime.
We already have the Avengers, Justice League etc. in comics and movies now. That being said, I certainly hope that Wizards can bring us more in Magic fiction than just a regurgitated pop culture paradigm. surely WOTC knows the Mtg community is more intelligent than that.
+William Watson how exactly would you think that the titans would ever be defeated if not for a huge group effort?
+will teada well, I don't mean to say that the story is flawed in its logic, of course you are right. I'm just saying that I'm hoping for a bit more character complexity and depth in the fiction than just something reworked and simplified for the masses, then thinly veiled as something entirely unique.
yea but also you gotta realize not only do they have to scrape together game mechanics that are still original after all these years (which is a daunting task in itself) they also now have to worry about making the lore up to snuff. they have their hands full now that the game is exploding and the fact that there still is lore to delve into is sweet i can tell theyre running out of ideas that are fresh and original...but the game is 20 years old now its gonna be hard to keep the level to such a high standard
Go go oath of the gatewatch dundundundundun
Go go oath of the gatewatch
dundundundundun
Go go oath of the gatewatch
you mighty 4 planeswalkers
(sing it with the power Rangers theme pls)
White Ranger Gideon
Red Ranger Chandra
Blue Ranger Jace
Green Ranger Nissa
Sooo... mb MtG Avengers should do something with "New Phyrexia"? :v Just sayin...
Nah new phyrexia is perfection the gate watch should help it spread to other worlds and bring them true glory. All hail our phyrexian overlords :p (can you tell I picked phyrexia during Morridin besieged lol)
Mighty Morphin Power Planeswalkers
obnixilous and Liliana roll their eyes in disgust. >=]
blackbokuto apparently not
i like it alot but i wish they'd leave my poor Kozi alone ;^; he just wants to eat jeez
Gideon x Chandra? Please WOTC?
It's only as good as its members, that's my stance on this.
