Came to put a random comment real quick for a chance to get a collector booster box. Stayed and watched all the way because of this great story (and a great storyteller). I'm going to my LGS tonight, for some Commander games, and I will check out if there is any Magic comics around.
Congrats, you have been selected at random to receive the collector booster box! Please send an email to TolarianCommunityCollege at gmail so that we can begin the verification/shipping process! Congrats again!
Prof, have you considered narrating more often (audible - style?) These videos are fantastic and I love how alive it makes the MTG multiverse feel. However the best part is the way you articulate these events. I could quite happily listen to you narrate paint drying
Ah ah this reminds me of when "dark depths" was one of the aces i kept in my commander deck until it came up against a proliferate deck with Atraxa... Marit Lage has been sleeping deeply ever since :’) Anyway, a good dive into the history of magic ! Thanks Prof’
@@simonboucher5170 haha it's a good way to give your opponent a cold sweat, but in my case I was on a blue and white deck with some infinite mana combos (like power artifact and grim or basalt monolith ) to wake up the beast, but I didn't have much luck drawing the right cards I needed. good advice though ;)
I love House Dimir! Lazav is the commander of my favorite deck. I'm glad that they didn't do Lazav dirty. It would take more than the destruction of his house to put the old shapeshifter down for the count.
I love the stories that come from MTG it really gets immersive not only with the little tidbits of lore in the cards art and bottom text but the books and other media they release. Keep up the awesome narrations
Funny that still nobody knows what Marit Lage actually is. Some elements are Eldrazi, but others are not. Just like an old HP Lovecraft monstrosity, aeons old and powerful beyond normal measures. Makes a great story!
Plus she/they/it comes from a time and place where the stories were only tangentially connected. You could do crazy things that did not have a big reveal until 4 sets later haha.
All I Hope is that Marit Lage don't receive the Eldrazi or Bolas retcon and end defeated by Power of love and friendship. She deserves better. Eldritch Horrors should not be fought unless is Something as old and horrifying as itself. Maybe the Eldrazi Titans purporse was to cleanse the Multiverse of such beings as Lage.
Well, love and friendship took care of Ulamog and Kozilek, I see no reason why it wouldn't work on Marit Lage. Ravnica even has leylines just like Zendikar, and a being deeply connected to the plane in Niv Mizzet. It would not shock me if 10 Guildmasters+Niv channeling mana into Jaya let her re-enact her banishing spell. Similar to how Nissa's channeling let Chandra (Jaya's pupil!) burn away the Titans.
@@lysander3262 yeah and that's one of the worst thing that happened in the entire Magic Lore. The whole gatewatch is a big fiasco and I Hope they dont do It again. Marit Lage was our Eldritch Horror way before Eldrazi existed in concept. Turn out that Eldrazis ended being big Kaijus for our Super Sentai Team, instead of godlike creatures from before time.
Thanks Professor and everyone involved in the making of these videos. As a filthy casual that has recently started going to shops for Friday Night Magic I was told my decks are not competitive enough so your channel has been helping me to step up my game and I also enjoy learning about the origins and backstories of characters and cards in those decks.
I love the story of magic, it really adds to the individual card’s feel, not to mention how certain cards interact with one another. Also, I’m leaving this for the kamigawa box.
Thank you for still being here! I used to watch when I was 17 and just recently started playing again. I enjoyed being able to come back to a familiar face after 8 years of not playing.
This series is actually quite interesting in how it diverges from the lore, and it's nice seeing a story being told that isn't dependant on a set and the cards within, since that often leads to inconsistencies and weird pacing. As much as I liked some of the recent worldbuilding, it's cool to see a story just be a story.
This brings back memories of a Ravnica roleplay campaing my friends and i did long before the rulebook for dnd was out (We used the Fate system for it). Ravnica is my "comfort" plane as odd as it sounds, the storytelling on such a vast setting as the city-plane is limitless.
When an evil, hooded guy proclaims he "already won", you know he's about to die. When they will learn? Fantastic serie, btw. Will you do maybe something similar related to the novels?
Hey Prof, any chance after this series is concluded you could do a series recapping the MtG comics published by Acclaim and Dark Horse back in the 90s?
I just came back to Magic for the first time since I was a teen, which has now led to the discovery of your content. Not only is your content informative and helpful, but also entertaining. Great stuff!
I like to think this is something of a tie-in with the card Priest of Forgotten Gods. As its flavor texts specifically references religious traditions older than the Orzhov. A cult to Blind Eternities C'thulu seems to fit there.
@@pedromartins272 yes. It’s a divergence from canon. While it can be disappointing that it’s not canon, this decision does give the writers the freedom needed to make an incredible series. This way, they don’t need to be tied down the the current sets nor do they need to future-proof the story. I don’t mind having an alternate canon so long as it’s well done. Just my thoughts, though
@@leafkindruid Tbh, i like the "Its not canon... unless..." kind of approach, it gives writters the capability of writting something that can be both detached from canon but if is well received some of its elements can be later re-used or brought into canon at some point down the line, i see this being made into a set after we explore the incoming war against the Phyrexians a few (at least more than 4) years in the future, maybe with different characters if Wizards has the balls to put one of these precious boys in danger during the current events but since everyone included here exudes a great smell of plot armor (except Jaya) it gives me a certain confidence.
Lazav is definitely one of my favorite characters. He’s such a neutral character that seems bad; the complexity of characters like him and similar story devises are often what makes a story solid, intriguing, and desirable. I love that you’re putting an emphasis on the story Prof.
Looooooooving these recap vids! I've been reading the series religiously, but I always love hearing someone else explain it, as there's certainly something I missed or didn't think of at the time!
If Marit Lage is a being that is beyond the blind eternities, does that make it Eldrazi in origin? Or could wizards be teasing a totally new class of outer gods :OOOOOO
@@pedromartins272 I think any eldrazi theory is plausible if wizards confirmed that Marit Lage is from a realm beyond the blind eternities, I just remember that being debunked in many past debates but who knows this is Wizards... I was thinking who would be the next great threat once we are done with the phyrexians. Eldrazi and the whole concept revolving around balance and atrophy in the multiverse could certainly make for a good overarching storyline since they've already established a good base for Eldrazi lore. Here's hoping Wizards writing does a good job on it IF they choose to make them the next multiversal threat.
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be pronounced "Merit Layj", like merit increase and sage/phage/stage/cage/rage/mage. But I wasn't going to be the one to tell him, he seemed so happy reading his lines
@@hosersupreme I've heard it pronounced so many ways at this point I'm not even sure what to go with. I end up being silly and pronouncing it "la-gay" yours sounds legit though.
@@hosersupremeSince 1995, I've only ever heard it pronounced your way. The Professor's pronunciation rankled me a little bit each time he said the name.
The trio goes to Niv Mizzet: 'Dimir is behind the attacks!' Niv Mizzet: 'Nope! Somebody is playing you and wants you to think that. Also Jace is an idiot!' The trio finds out about House Dimirs destruction and confronts Mizzet: Niv Mizzet: 'Nope! House Dimir is playing you and wants you to think that!' Either Niv Mizzet got old and senile or he has his own motivation and tries to buy time and slow the others down 🤔
Alternatively shoddy, derivative writing, but I'm being a pessimist and don't have enough read of the comics to make such a claim, beyond saying you can list it as an option. (Because you pretty much always can on anything.)
@@ryanjones_rheios I like to interpret that In-universe the Dimir are the types to try and do a double-double-cross or misdirection-within-misdirection kind of deal or that Niv's ego carried to his new form and he just likes being a contrarian in order to always have the "I told you so" moment if able; both are highly subjective interpretations and i kind of doubt they are meant to be taken that way but i like these two takes way too much not to share them.
AH yes, the famous non-Eldrazi Marit Lage with such features as -Ancient beyond comprehension -From beyond the Blind Eternities -Able to planeswalk without a spark -Infiltrates the minds of people just by proximity -Warps creatures into tentacled monstrosities -Only sealed away by holding them in place Surely nothing to do with the Eldrazi titans like, say, Emrakul. After all the only things that they share in common would be -Ancient beyond comprehension -From beyond the Blind Eternities -Able to planeswalk without a spark -Infiltrates the minds of people just by proximity -Warps creatures into tentacled monstrosities -Only sealed away by holding them in place Hey wait a minute It wouldn't surprise me if Marit Lage is another offshoot of the greater being that is "Emrakul" like how the Titans are just the largest "hand" of the greater whole as Ugin put it, who's to say that the full body of Emrakul doesn't have more than one "hand"
Marit Lage was conceived of like something Lovecraft would have called an Elder God. It's not Eldrazi, it's something different and alien and I hope they never explain it.
@@aurious5821 It's cute you think there can be only ONE kind of cosmic horror and not so many of them that we literally cannot comprehend it without threatening our sanity.
@@Null_Experis sure there could be a infinite number of different kinds, but Eldrazi have all the traits that Marit Lage seems to possess so why would it be different?
@@davidmcc9141 Technically we've only seen two images of Niv in game during War and both had a heavy amount of "effects" around him, so maybe this is him without all of the shiny bits? i mean, i hope it is that way, he looks great!
@@Nobody-zl3kk Not trying to be a Negative Nancy, but WotC has stated that the boom comics are non-canon to the core card story. Believe me, the moment Vraska pulled the "he wasn't afraid to look me in the eyes" line I flew to check if this was canon and that WotC fixed my OTP. This is just a really well put together endeavor, both writing and art. This, combined with the other recent online writings and the Kamigawa comic, gives me hope that they'll branch out the story media more. As a big fan of vorthos, these comics have been a treat.
@@davidmcc9141 I know it's non-canon, I'm just voicing my enjoyment of it in the hopes that it is one of those "It isn't canon... Unless..." Kind of deals where the elements that are enjoyed are integrated back into canon by the writers after said elements receive positive feedback. Allow me to be hopeful with this one. :3
It's always interesting to see people talk about Magic's story, and your videos are no different! Definitely a good time, and looking forward to more of this content in the future too.
Dark Depths is one of those cards that got me into deck building so it's really awesome to learn the history of Marit Lage! Great content, can't wait to see more of this series.
First of all, sorry for my bad English. I'm so happy I discovered this channel. All the videos are so interesting and I'm enjoying mtg so much thanks to you prof. Thank you!
long time subscriber here, I always appreciate the videos you make and the information you share with the magic the gathering community. Don't lose your Mana rocks over these pulls professor!
The editing/transitions between the comic art frames is great! As someone who got into magic somewhat recently through the tcg formats, I'm interested in the lore now!
I love the depth of these videos. Its easy as a relatively new player to miss the story completely, just paying attention to cards and abilities.. I think taking time and enjoying the thought and effort that went into the background story of mtg cards make this game truly special. I wish I had gotten into this game in the 90s when I was obsessed with pokemon, I never heard of magic until early 2000s and didn't start playing until 2015 and again this year after a couple years off.
Super cool and interesting dive into the mtg lore which i haven't really looked into, thanks Prof! Also good luck to everyone entering the competition haha
I really like these lore videos, including the greatest heroes and villains ones. It's a great and entertaining way to catch up on some lore after not playing for years.
I really love the deep dives in the hostory you do keep going I've been following your channel for over 6 years now and I can't stop watching your content it's so addictive. Thanks for all the great videos and I hope everything's good on your end! :)
I love these videos! Great look into the characters we love and play with. Magic has such an interesting world and I love how you’re bringing that to life in these videos Prof!
I'm a new magic player, and I have to say that your videos I think are some of the best in the community. Good quality, creativity and a unique humor. They have helped me understand many things about this new world that I am entering. I just have to thank you.
Honestly, came to this channel for the advice on what to buy and stayed for the vibe and for the love that is put into these videos. I might not watch every video but i know i‘m in for a treat when i do.

Same! Honestly the comic/graphic novel format is perfect for MtG - a game known for its stunning visuals.
@@brandondraheim3149 Have to bust out the Dark Depths deck again.
I'm just getting more into this non dominaria ore
I am discovering it and enjoyed it. The Professor is a great narrator
The art is certainly a sight to behold, Magic really has stepped up their game.
Seeing the bewildered look on the faces of Malcolm and Breeches made me tear up a little bit, idk why, it was just so good to see them again
Because that means it's time for FUN AND SUNDRIES AND GAMBLING AND ADVENTURE
Holy shit it’s been 4 years
Because that was a god damn good story line/set.
My father is a die hard fan of Marit Lage but he was having a hard time getting into the comics, so this video is an instant foward to him.
Yeah Marit Lage is cool and all but I personally prefer the more compact, Marit Smol.
I can't believe Marit Lage is secretly Nibiru, the Primal Being
Drop a rock on em!
What a twist!
punisher of selesnya tokens spammers
the most ambishious crossover!
Holy shit

I agree.
I wish this was the gold standard for current MTG stories that are tied to the sets, this is great.
It's really neat seeing them intertwine everything together in one world. I also adore marrit lage
Love seeing Jace and Vraska together
Marit Lage: *literally just chilling under a lake*
Vampire Hexmage: Haha ice counters go POOF!
How did I miss this series!! Omw, I'm so impressed that a coherent Magic story is being told properly through comics.
Ah ah this reminds me of when "dark depths" was one of the aces i kept in my commander deck until it came up against a proliferate deck with Atraxa... Marit Lage has been sleeping deeply ever since :’)
Anyway, a good dive into the history of magic ! Thanks Prof’
A little vampire hexmage and Marit Lage will wake up very fast ;)

The Lazav stuff in this story is just *chef's kiss*. Possibly the best part of the series thus far.
I love House Dimir! Lazav is the commander of my favorite deck. I'm glad that they didn't do Lazav dirty. It would take more than the destruction of his house to put the old shapeshifter down for the count.
How do you know Lazav is old?....
As a long time fan, these types of videos are some of my favorite content.
I love the stories that come from MTG it really gets immersive not only with the little tidbits of lore in the cards art and bottom text but the books and other media they release.
Keep up the awesome narrations
As a someone who started playing in the last couple years, it's great to learn some of the storyline of the game.
Thank you for sharing!
I love these lore bits you’ve been doing lately, and I’ve been really enjoying the Boom comics a lot

She's probably an avatar of some sort, similar to the Ur Dragon. Though if that's the case what "children" did she leave across the multiverse?

They really should've made these canon. This entire story would also make for a great fourth round on ravnica for a set.

Of all the characters they could have brought back, I did not expect Marit Lage.
So... Marit Lage versus Emrakul when?

-From beyond the Blind Eternities
-Able to planeswalk without a spark
-Infiltrates the minds of people just by proximity
-Warps creatures into tentacled monstrosities

Thanks to you I have not only approached the magic game but also its lore. A thousand thanks
I'm relatively new to MTG, and I'm loving your videos! Keep up the good work!
And thanks for helping new players develop their love for the lore.
long time subscriber here, I always appreciate the videos you make and the information you share with the magic the gathering community. Don't lose your Mana rocks over these pulls professor!
I love that you go in-depth (pun intended) with Magic Lore with videos like these
I cant wait for the next product review. The reviews are still my favorite type of videos from the Prof.
So excited to see more of this!! Thanks for making this
The editing/transitions between the comic art frames is great! As someone who got into magic somewhat recently through the tcg formats, I'm interested in the lore now!
I love the depth of these videos. Its easy as a relatively new player to miss the story completely, just paying attention to cards and abilities.. I think taking time and enjoying the thought and effort that went into the background story of mtg cards make this game truly special. I wish I had gotten into this game in the 90s when I was obsessed with pokemon, I never heard of magic until early 2000s and didn't start playing until 2015 and again this year after a couple years off.
I enjoy your narration of these story dives. Thank you!
yknow i dig this kind of content. getting to see the content with the images too is pretty cool. please continue with this series.
This is such a great series! Easy to listen like a podcast while working / doing chores.
I'm really enjoying these stories you've been narrating, great job sharing the lore!
Love learning a bit more about younger Jaya, I've missed out on so much lore before beginning MTG and during my 5 year break!
This series is great! Got into magic a few years ago and didn’t really comprehend the lore side so thanks prof for holding the title well!
I first subscribed for your witty product analysis but I must say I think those lore videos are even better. Please keep ‘em coming prof!
Super cool and interesting dive into the mtg lore which i haven't really looked into, thanks Prof!
Also good luck to everyone entering the competition haha
I really like these lore videos, including the greatest heroes and villains ones. It's a great and entertaining way to catch up on some lore after not playing for years.
Thank you for making all the videos you do. They definitely make my day so much better!
Your videos have helped me catch up to my roommate and his friends with regards to lore and playing the game!
so excited for this series to go on, thank for your work
I love these videos that delve into the lore! Keep em coming!
Appreciating the variety this series brings to the space, great job and please keep it going.
Love the story Dive and the editing of the video. I have to watch more of it.
Love the lore. It makes playing decks you build with a theme or tribal so much better
There’s so much I don’t know and how much I can appreciate this channel for letting me know what’s going on.
Really loving this series, and hoping to see more for future comic/story installments. Excellent work, keep it up!
