I just marvel at how one seed of 'let me know if you want to hear that story' had sprouted at an endless branched tree. Every story told only open up to even more stories. Well, content for life :D
Phyrexians. I'm willing to be that after Bolas, the story will probably shift to the Phyrexians, a plot point revitalised by Karn's story-line on Dominaria.
PLEASE continue to do these. I am just getting back to magic after 17 years of being away from the game. I missed the entire modern format. These videos really make it exciting to get back in the game. Excellent job friend!
I'd really like how the story branches everywhere! i'd really hope for 1 hour stream/video for a story just based on Magic Origins 😍😍😍! thanks Ryan, been supporting you since the first story time
Thanks Ryan! Even though I know what is going on in the current lore, you're a great storyteller and I love listening to how you talk about what's going on :) Looking forward to the next one
Amazing video! I watched all the other ones and started to look at the card's art and flavor text a lot more, so that when you talked about Liliana and Nicol Bolas I knew it was about 'In Bolas Clutches', seems obvious but was a huge 'ah ha!' for me lol Keep up the great work!
Super comprehensive and well explained without getting into too much detail. I love this segment soooo much. One of the best types of magic content on UA-cam right now. I wanna hear about the eldrazi story next!
Ryan..... The way these videos have been put together and shortened the lore into excellently explained and entertaining stories has got me back into magic lore which I gave up on long ago. Please continue to make all of the stories!
After trying to watch some videos on Magic lore I finally stumble upon Magic Arcanum and the endless confusion is suddenly over! Great job and thank you!
Loving these videos. They are really helpful to Dungeon Masters that are researching Ravnica before starting campaigns there. My game is still 6 months away but I'm getting tons of idea for campaign plots from the lore and your help.
Ever since seiben stopped doing summed up mtg lore videos, this is by far my favorite mtg lore series. Please never stop making these, these are amazing.
Ryan, you seriously make the game more enjoyable for me. Knowing the meaning behind the cards and the art instead of just the mechanics. I love these videos...Clicked immediately when I saw this one. Keep it up! :)
It's great when You show particular cards capturing parts of the story. I know that there are more such cards on rachunek set, would be great if You could use more of them. There are also great stories in some much older sets, Hope You cover them at some point as well. Anyway, amazing job, so is the final effect, thank You a lot
this series shold become a regular show, I love the lore of mtg but I don't know if I could ever read every story in the site and keep up, this is a great summary, simply put MORE PLEASE
Very cool , its hard to find such quality content about mtg lore , btw , as i remember nicol bolas storyline was started from Shards of Alara block , i still dont know how he used all that energy from conflux
You are so great, I’m a beginner of the game and understanding the lore helps me understand why cards matter and the point of standard. It’s a card game based around a story. It’s anazing
Jace reuniting with Gideon in his Ixalan story was so heartwarming -- especially when he talks about having muscles and Gideon wanting to be his workout bro.
I love hearing the lore of magic. For a while, and also being comparatively new to the game, i felt there wasn't much glue that was keeping me interested in magic compared to those around me who could really get into it. This story, and characters and side stories is the glue i needed and i've found a new flame of interest for the game. Thank you for these videos!
I appreciate what you're doing by gathering all the disparate information provided in various sources to form a cohesive summary of the fascinating Magic storyline. I'd like to see several dozen more of these and if some of the same facts recur in multiple videos where they are relevant, I would prefer that. However, it really interrupts the flow and takes up too much time to continually ask, "Tell me if you'd like to hear more about this in the comments," and "Go watch this video," for information integral to what is already being talked about. Keep it up.
Also a unifying search term in the video title would be helpful for these storyline videos. Mtg Breakdown. Magic Storytime. Something we can search to find all the videos.
Love these videos! As someone that's kind of recently started with Magic this really gives a more personal look at the different cards that I've been playing with.
I have been digging through this vids all night long! Awesome content!!! I'd love to see one about Urza. Since we got a big series on Bolas. And both are the two most meaningful characters on MTG history. Another one about power levels on pre-revision Planeswalkers? who's the strongest? Bolas? Urza? or a top 10 at least. So we get to compare Karn, Sorin and the rest.. I'd also love one regarding each plane: Dominaria, Innistrad, Alara, Ravnica, Mirrodin, Phyrexia, etc.
Since WotC said they want to turn their focus away from the Gatewatch a while ago (iirc), I picture this epic fight with Nicol Bolas, where he is defeated while taking several Members of the Gatewatch down with him (and probably a few districts of Ravnica), so WotC can tell how the new Weatherlight helps Karn bomb New Phyrexia or something like that. AND YES, in my mind the endcard before focusing on the Weatherlight is Jace and Vraska sitting all lovey-dovey in a Café on Ravnica, discussing it's recovering or just a good book. Ixalan's story really sold me on that couple. Btw, just randomly discovered your story videos and I really like your way of comprising the story. I read most of it and it helps refreshing some bits.
Yes! Please! Eldrazi! Nicki B! Nissa! Liliana's brother and her forming of her contact with the demons if that extended story exists! Everything! I'm loving this series!
Awesome series!! Please do videos on the old sets as well!! there is so much lore and you explain it so well!! do the Urza´s story! Thank you for these videos, they are awesome!
Thanks bro'' just got back in to magic,, and I Love these videos!! they make playing even more fun when you know the stories behind the cards!! even makes deck making more fun, when you can consider the lor involved!!!
I like the Gatewatch too! Nikki B is a great villain and every villain has a fall and I think his will be epic. Oh yeah and that's a yes for more Eldrazi story please!
Loving these videos! I'm just coming back to Magic through MTGA, and these summaries are really nice. Definitely want to hear about the Eldrazi, Innastrad and Phyrexia. Also: can you linger more on the cards and talk more about the lore hidden in the art and flavor? Cards I've never seen flash by and I keep missing the finer details! Also: though I appreciate your opinions regarding Vivian, there are a billion nerds on the internet with opinions, and I think your videos would be stronger if you keep to lore.
(Ryan) Hey, thanks for the feedback! I include a link the description that takes you to a deck list containing every card I talk about, so you can linger on them for as long as you like!
Wait, Jace is the living guildpact, so everything he says is law, of the magic and utterly unbreakable variety. No matter what Bolas does, all ten guilds are on the side of the Gatewatch because of that.
You are hinting at the story from time to time, so let me say - I would LOVE to hear/watch some sort of summary of the story. I personally got lost after Dominaria, the authors are just not working for me. But I would still love to know what's actually happening.Keep up the good work. Cheers!
Nissa leaving does leave a convenient forest spot open for Vivien Ried, and we all know her entire purpose is to go after Bolas, so I predict she will be brought into the fold and we will get an Oath of Vivien card. I'd loooooove an oath of vraska, let's hope she gets her memories back. I think we can expect a few planeswalkers that are working for bolas to turn on him. I predict Kaya is going to be the orzhov planeswalker in the next set, working for bolas but then she will turn on him in the third.
Very nice recap. Good work and keep them coming;) Hope WotC do something with Elsepeth or Kiora in the future. Guess you would be the best alternative:)
Can you do a video talking about Planeswalkers and The Mending and how it relates to the current states of events in The Multiverse? I'm sure everyone's heard the story by now, but I like the way you tell them.
I just marvel at how one seed of 'let me know if you want to hear that story' had sprouted at an endless branched tree. Every story told only open up to even more stories. Well, content for life :D
Or at least, as long as Magic keeps coming.
Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, ma'boi.
I want you to tell me every single bit of history that WotC ever managed to pull out.
Like, for real.
Dude actually. I tried to understand the whole lore but its too much. And all of the full timeline videos are so long and boring
(Ryan) Well that should keep me busy for a while.
That aether Hub dude is boring me out , this is alright
@@tcgplayercom Yep we want all stories from mtg. Sub, like, turn on noti and turn off adblock
Gianfrancioschio e la fiaba allegra I second that
Dude, tell us EVERYTHING, plz, we just need to know
75 hours video , magic 1993 to now.
Yes, the Eldrazi story is totally one I want to hear. Can't get enough Eldrazi.
Well I'd like to hear about it. As someone interested in the story, this is a great digest.
So Ajani be all like "I'm here to talk to you about The Gatewatch Initiative", huh?
(Ryan) He even has the one missing eye!
Phyrexians. I'm willing to be that after Bolas, the story will probably shift to the Phyrexians, a plot point revitalised by Karn's story-line on Dominaria.
Yes Please do phyrexians, and while you are at it, maybe the downfall of mirrodin
I come from the future. You’re right. Vorinclex now has the ability to jump to different planes.
@@diamondmetal3062 EVERY PRAETOR IS ON A DIFFERENT PLANE THIS IS NOT A DRILL
Please do the innistrad and zendikar stories. These videos are awesome. Oh and dominaria too. Heck just do all the planes. That would be epic.
Please do all the stories!
I realy like this format. pls more about the Markovs ( Sorin and Edgar)
^
Hell yeah! XD
PLEASE continue to do these. I am just getting back to magic after 17 years of being away from the game. I missed the entire modern format. These videos really make it exciting to get back in the game. Excellent job friend!
I would love to hear more about Innistrad and Eldrazi, please. Excellent work thus far.
I'd really like how the story branches everywhere! i'd really hope for 1 hour stream/video for a story just based on Magic Origins 😍😍😍! thanks Ryan, been supporting you since the first story time
(Ryan) Glad to have your support, Christian. Thanks for being a fan!
More Innistrad, Zendikar, and Dominaria stories please!!! I love these videos! great work!
Thanks Ryan! Even though I know what is going on in the current lore, you're a great storyteller and I love listening to how you talk about what's going on :) Looking forward to the next one
(Ryan) Thanks for the inspiring words!
Keep them stories coming, really want to here about the eldrazi and maybe even the phyrexians
taylor webster yes!!!!
Amazing video! I watched all the other ones and started to look at the card's art and flavor text a lot more, so that when you talked about Liliana and Nicol Bolas I knew it was about 'In Bolas Clutches', seems obvious but was a huge 'ah ha!' for me lol

I really like this series because it saves me HOURS of reading. Thank you.
Ever since seiben stopped doing summed up mtg lore videos, this is by far my favorite mtg lore series. Please never stop making these, these are amazing.
Keep making these videos, I love the lore it makes the game much more interesting
Ryan, you seriously make the game more enjoyable for me. Knowing the meaning behind the cards and the art instead of just the mechanics. I love these videos...Clicked immediately when I saw this one. Keep it up! :)
I've always loved the story lines of magic. Thank you so much for making it easy to understand what's going on. Great job with the eldrazi!
It's great when You show particular cards capturing parts of the story. I know that there are more such cards on rachunek set, would be great if You could use more of them. There are also great stories in some much older sets, Hope You cover them at some point as well. Anyway, amazing job, so is the final effect, thank You a lot
I was worried that this series was abandoned, good to see Ryan back :D
Those videos won't continue ? Don't tell me that i've just discovered this channel with it...
@@tristantrouillard1588 No, it was just on a two week hiatus back then and it's on a christmas break now.
@@Rukalin Oh ook ^^ i can breath now :p
this series shold become a regular show, I love the lore of mtg but I don't know if I could ever read every story in the site and keep up, this is a great summary, simply put MORE PLEASE
Want to hear a story about the release of eldrazi = an amazing story like these all are
I'm happy with any and all magic story time- I think this is the best way to learn what's going on.
RyGo: "Do you want to hear that story?"
Me: "Yes."
RyGo: "Which one?"
Me: "Yes."
(RyGo) You're the second person I've ever heard call me "RyGo" lol
Me and my gf are new to magic so your videos have been a perfect way to get our feet wet in the lore. We love it! Thank you so much!
Very cool , its hard to find such quality content about mtg lore , btw , as i remember nicol bolas storyline was started from Shards of Alara block , i still dont know how he used all that energy from conflux
You are so great, I’m a beginner of the game and understanding the lore helps me understand why cards matter and the point of standard. It’s a card game based around a story. It’s anazing
I would love to hear ALL the stories, especially from you
Jace reuniting with Gideon in his Ixalan story was so heartwarming -- especially when he talks about having muscles and Gideon wanting to be his workout bro.
As a devoted Vorthos, I need all the more of this. ALL the MORE of THIS.
can we just have all the stories ahaha . its so much more easier to listen versus trying to read through everything thats available. best podcast
I love hearing the lore of magic. For a while, and also being comparatively new to the game, i felt there wasn't much glue that was keeping me interested in magic compared to those around me who could really get into it. This story, and characters and side stories is the glue i needed and i've found a new flame of interest for the game. Thank you for these videos!
Commenting on the video to hear more cause MTG lore is awesome
I had no idea some of my favorite cards were involved in the storyline like Broken Bond and In Bolas’s Clutches
I appreciate what you're doing by gathering all the disparate information provided in various sources to form a cohesive summary of the fascinating Magic storyline. I'd like to see several dozen more of these and if some of the same facts recur in multiple videos where they are relevant, I would prefer that.

Keep it up.
Also a unifying search term in the video title would be helpful for these storyline videos. Mtg Breakdown. Magic Storytime. Something we can search to find all the videos.
I love this series. Mtg lore is so rich and the flavor text on the cards make it fun to play.
I have a question, who will dislike such a masterpiece of artwork?
Love these videos! As someone that's kind of recently started with Magic this really gives a more personal look at the different cards that I've been playing with.
Nice Video, Happy to see another from you
I have been digging through this vids all night long! Awesome content!!!
I'd love to see one about Urza. Since we got a big series on Bolas. And both are the two most meaningful characters on MTG history.

I'd also love one regarding each plane: Dominaria, Innistrad, Alara, Ravnica, Mirrodin, Phyrexia, etc.
Man, you are an awesome storyteller, please make more lore videos covering anything! Keep up the good work!

(Ryan) Glad to hear it. Welcome back to the game!

Love that story telling about the magic lore!
Definitely want to see that eldrazi video!

Would love to see the story of Zendikar/Eldrazi from your narrative. Love your storytelling.
I like the Gatewatch too! Nikki B is a great villain and every villain has a fall and I think his will be epic. Oh yeah and that's a yes for more Eldrazi story please!
Every time you said "it's subject for another story" or something like then, we wanna hear the stories :) Go Arcanum go go
One big video series covering old stories! Please? Kamigawa? Dominaria?? Mirrodin???

This really should be made into a movie.
Cool video man I love all the stories I'd love some vampire lore
Eldrazi soon please! I think they are very interesting and would love to learn more!
Loving these videos! I'm just coming back to Magic through MTGA, and these summaries are really nice. Definitely want to hear about the Eldrazi, Innastrad and Phyrexia.

Having joined the MtG community during Dominaria, I really want to learn more about the Eldrazi
(Ryan) Welcome to the game!
Love your videos man. Can't wait to see more of them
We need more MTG Lore in our lives
Im going to have to binge your channel. I wanted to find out about the lore but couldn’t find a good source. At least till now
Wait, Jace is the living guildpact, so everything he says is law, of the magic and utterly unbreakable variety. No matter what Bolas does, all ten guilds are on the side of the Gatewatch because of that.
That's why first thing Bolas did during invasion was breaking of Guildpact magic.
This is the best Channel for Mtg lore love it
You are hinting at the story from time to time, so let me say - I would LOVE to hear/watch some sort of summary of the story.
I personally got lost after Dominaria, the authors are just not working for me. But I would still love to know what's actually happening.Keep up the good work. Cheers!
i NEED the story on Tamiyo... my fav planeswalker period
and she has the best colour identity to boot
so basically your waifu
@@OPiONShouter if i had an MTG waifu, yes
Nissa leaving does leave a convenient forest spot open for Vivien Ried, and we all know her entire purpose is to go after Bolas, so I predict she will be brought into the fold and we will get an Oath of Vivien card.
I'd loooooove an oath of vraska, let's hope she gets her memories back.
I think we can expect a few planeswalkers that are working for bolas to turn on him. I predict Kaya is going to be the orzhov planeswalker in the next set, working for bolas but then she will turn on him in the third.
Damn, I just recently came across playing MTG and I must say, the lore is intense
“Five teenagers with attitude.”
Spot ON!!!!!!
I honestly am just subbed to this channel for these videos, make so many more pls
Ohhh never thought about it till now, but Ajani knows Koth
These Vids are such good Quality, you deserve more subs!
These lore videos are great. Keep them comming please
Very nice recap. Good work and keep them coming;)
Hope WotC do something with Elsepeth or Kiora in the future. Guess you would be the best alternative:)
100% better then reading. You're just on my second monitor teaching me ;) thx bra
Can you do a video talking about Planeswalkers and The Mending and how it relates to the current states of events in The Multiverse? I'm sure everyone's heard the story by now, but I like the way you tell them.
I want to head Jace's story, and then all of the rest of the stories you mentioned in this.
Would take forever to explain but urza would be an amazing one to make a video about too!
