    I was hoping for angels after A Study in Fire, so I was really hyped when you teased this earlier! This is a really, really awesome video! Angels are my favorite creatures in Magic, so I'll watch this several times to ingest all the information.
    I'm looking forward to seeing what Wizards does with angels in Kaldheim. Valkyries seem like the obvious route. I feel like they've made angels between the planes different and similar enough, but it'd be interesting to see them push the envelope a little bit. At least something along the lines of halos blinding the Zendikari angels (aesthetically and lorewise).
    Watching this video really makes me want to make an angel EDH deck, so I guess I'm off to spend a couple of hours on Scryfall :)
    Thanks for putting in the effort to create these videos! They always brighten up my day :)

    • @TheLorebrarians
      @TheLorebrarians  3 роки тому +1

      Thank you so much! Angels are very interesting and super fun to play. I could definitely see valkyrie make an appearance in Kaldheim, especially since the coldsnap/ice age has already given us an angel valkyrie. I'm happy to have given you some inspiration, good luck with the deck building!

    Small correction. You said that Ravnica angels cannot hear prayers - which is not 100% true. Feather herself said (in one of the first Ravnica books) that when you say angel's name - she will hear you even across the whole plane.

    • @TheLorebrarians

    I do have one quick note though. The Boros angels could hear prayers (Feather said as much to Agrus Kos) and Razia herself was worshiped by some, but the angels themselves never really had a religion for the mortals, like you said.

    Angels are my favorite creature type, something about them just really appeals to my inner Timmy. My favorite is definitely Giada from streets of new capenna though, she's so cute and I love how she just is like a normal girl who looks like she works at a bank or something compared to all the other badass aloof angel designs we usually get. I have played a jank angel tribal deck based around her in standard for months now and it's so fun.

    Good stuff, but as far as I know, the angels of Zendikar wear their halos in front of their eyes as penance for lack of effort against the Eldrazi, not as a product of eldrasi powers

    • @TheLorebrarians
      @TheLorebrarians  3 роки тому +3

      The angels see it as thier penance for their inability to stop the Eldrazi, but from "The Defiance of Angels" Beyer tells us the halo was forcefully lowered by the Eldrazi to act as a "leash" and preventing them to aid the mortals. The archangels don't have their halos lowered because they were strong enough to resist the Eldrazi. Given this, I don't believe it is self-imposed.
