    I never really cared about Teferi, but the story of the Phyrexian Invasion where he attempts to save his homestead by phasing it out with the intention of bringing it back later and being unable to even after the threat was dealt with, man that's got to suck. Plus he's virtually immortal, so he's had a long time to think about what else he could have done while he looks across the Zhalfirin Void. The art and flavor text for that card is very haunting.

  • @Thesaurus_Rex
    @Thesaurus_Rex 4 роки тому +38

    My idea of Teferi's Tutelege, given the flavor text, is that Teferi is so used to time magic and so used to doing things out of order that any in-depth explanation he gives is nearly impossible to comprehend, and most listeners will walk away more confused than they arrived. And the more knowledge Teferi accumulates (the more cards you draw) the more difficult to comprehend his explanations are (the more cards that are milled).

  • @CenJohan

    You should have brought up the fact that Zhalfir was actually going to help out the phyrexians during the invasion but Teferi knew it would still go poorly for them so he phased the entire kingdom out to stop them from making the mistake.

    • @CenJohan
      @CenJohan 4 роки тому

      My bad, I was going based off of bad knowledge that someone else told me. Zhalfir was intended to take the brunt of the phyrexian invasion by Urza. Since Zhalfir was the most advanced nation on dominaria at the time, they believed they could handle the invasion and Teferi knew that going along with that would be a mistake so he phased out the kingdom along with some of shiv to spare them from the invasion.

Or you mill your opponents using the knowledge you gained, literally playing mind games.) I think Teferi created Chromatic Orrery.

      Making the opponent's entire board tap dance is pretty fun. I once won a game where I had 1 creature on the board (but it was a gigantic mutate pile), and the opponent had gone crazy wide with 30 creatures, but they couldn't attack at all for most of the game because I mutated a couple of Archipeligores onto the pile, so I could keep their entire board tapped down.

    Teferi’s tutelage teaching the invalidity of some yet to be fully explored beliefs makes sense as a millingn mechanic. A vaguely held concept turning out as not to be expressing what you thought it was, and therefore losging it’s practical use could fit to milling. Unlike the cards at the hand which are realized ideas ready to be manifested by the wizard holding them, given enough power accrued by lands or other sources

    Teferi is one of my favorite MTG characters, and definitively the favorite planeswalker. My first magic novels (and the first books I've read in english) were the Planar Chaos trilogy. As imagined i was very confused, but he (and Venser) were the characters that made me go through with it. Fun fact: as cards, both Venser and Teferi are in my most hated decks ever...

    Just want to jump in on an idea for the “flavor” of to Teferi’s Tutelage you could say as your opponent mills cards they are teaching you their spells or the spells they have learned.
