What Happens in Kaldheim?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лют 2021
- Our first visit to the plane has a lot going on, with new and returning planeswalkers, a huge supporting cast, and adventure spread out over many of Kaldheim's realms. The Story Spotlight cards can help us understand things, but even with so many in the set this time around you might still be left wondering "What Happens in Kaldheim?"

From one mustached storyteller to another, this is hands down the best breakdown of the Kaldheim story.
I was about to say “you play magic?” Then I remembered you’re a nerdy glasses man.
This post gave me a wave of nostalgia I wasn't ready for.
I did not expect you here but a welcome surprise to be sure.

Ryan: "There was also no mention of the shapeshifters..."
The shapeshifters: "But how do you know that for sure.....?"
Everyone - There is a phyrexian infected planeswalker around! Oh no!
Magic - It is Tibalt!
Everyone - Oh, it's fine then, no real threat there.
Here comes ashiok!
Hahaha, he is like Bizarro Superman lol.
But unless the phyrexians have finally reverse-engineered the planeswalker spark (something even Yawgmoth was never able to do), then Tibalt should be immune to the infection. It's the reason Bolas sent Tezzeret to New Phyrexia in the first place as a sort of ambassador/spy. But yeah fk Tibalt, maybe he'll be a more compelling villain once he's a phyrexian hybrid planeswalker.
The problem is more that planeswalkers have a habit of leaving some of the phyrexian infection everywhere they go
@@demarge1065 We are forgetting the most important part - Vorinclex used a portal to get to Kaldheim - Phyrexians already seem to be able to travel through planes.
Last time I was this early, Tibalt was the worst planeswalker in the game.
Tibalt: not for long the future
funnily enough i want to see Tibalt vs Oko in Trickery fights now
And now he is destroying formats xD
Really? I recall Tibalt decks ranging from just generally good to downright trollish.
Yeah, Kaldheim went from Mandalorian to Avengers: Endgame REAL fast.
Dude can you write magic story I would much rather follow each praetor as they appear on planes across the multiverse to do collection quests for Norn then watch a couple walkers and gods faff around!
Both the world of Kaldheim and the story they created for Kaldheim just seems too big and complicated for one set.Even the card themselves have a lot going on. This really should have been multiple sets, visiting new planes (which is now rare) shows the problem of the lack-of block design
@@jasonbolding3481 Yea but we have to have an ENTIRE set for just vampires and an ENTIRE set for just werewolves for a plane that we've already had 5 sets from.
So basically every season of agents of shield
@@jasonbolding3481 I feel like it's a very complex problem to solve. It's easy to see that the Vorthos perspective has been gone for some time from MtG. Sets are mostly "What if [insert already existing story/mythology] was a whole plane? Sets are smaller with more reprints to get them out the door faster. Stories and lore are just kind of an afterthought to the "rule of cool".
"Felt epic, but hollow" the magic story in a nutshell this past year
"Tibalt was there to create a story to remember"
Tibalt: Hey guys, remember that time I countered a spell with red mana and it turned into a cosmic plane-razing eldrazi? Good times...
lmfao
You really drove home something here that I just realized: magic's storywriting team is still thinking much more in terms of 2 or 3 set blocks, while the play design team has more successfully switched to single-set mechanic choices.
i think one reason why the story seemed off is that the direction is split, on one hand they want to just tell good self contained stories for each set, on the other they want to set up for war of the spark 2: Phyrexia in 10 or so years
Only to have d phyrexia lost to d power of friendship n social justice.
Or pull an effin emrakul
haha 10 or so years? More like 2-3!
You know, the worldbuilding of Kaldheim is amazing. The seting, the Gods, the different races and their struggles are all awesome. BUT the story is a mess. This is a world that would benefit greatly as a two-set story. It just feels so rushed and trying to include eveything in the same scene makes it more difficult to appreciate the characters.
Can from Lrr said it best that this is someone’s dream DND world
Have they confirmed this is a one set plane tho?
Bc if Tibalt is working w/ Phyrexia, it could be interesting if some of the other recent one offs were revisted with them being converted. Eldrain is perfect for a show off with Sheoldred as some sort of evil witch & a converted Kogla sounds dope.
That the problem for many planes actually. I even think 3 sets should be the minimum for introducing any new plane.
From some times now, the settings are good and full of potential, but the story is always a mess
@@themtgnerd5811 I'm planning to use it in my new campaign
A lot of good points made with the Mustache Minute. My main criticism of magic storytelling over the years is the dependency on planeswalkers. I feel like they should play a more supportive role than a main role. Reading some of the comments and listening to the commentary a lot of common themes come up that tons of cards or themes from the set are not featured in the story. And I feel that's because they're using planeswalkers to take that place. So characters we've seen over and over are the main feature and we don't get to see anything about shape shifters, Giants or other gods in this case.
I feel like the characters on the plane should take precedence and be the feature and planeswalkers could be there either to help because they happen to be there but them taking over the story is really frustrating. When I read the book from the Odyssey set it was all about the characters who live there casting spells and fighting each other not planeswalkers from other places coming in and fixing the planes problem.
It's kind of like reading an X-Men story but Goku comes in to save the day for some weird reason.
YES!!!!!
Though it may be acceptable for a planewalker to be the main character if it's their home plane
I don't have a problem with planeswalkers being the focus of stories, but it shouldn't be every story. Especially on brand new planes. WoTC used to switch stories between planeswalkers and the denizens of the planes in terms of who a particular story would focus on, not it's just all planeswalkers all the time, and the problem is, sometimes (often) the planes and their people are just more interesting.
Urza: destoys Phyrexia 1.0.
Vorinclex: well we cant have that happenin on Phyrexia 2.0. INDESTRUCTIBLE FOR EVERYONE!
Kaldheim was epic, but hollow: sounds like the first two Thor movies.
Fully agree.
@@MagicArcanum Agree with most of the stuff being said except for Tibalt, basically he created god phyrexians and an epic battle doomskar event that everyone is talking about, so mission accomplished. Also the flavour text in many cards like revitalize and withercrown does a good job to flesh out some of those absent gods from the main story. I bet you are gonna have a field day with the mustache minute in the upcoming hogwarts set.
I am a simple person that just wants Phyrexians, I see a Praetor and I am happy.
Ah, another man of culture
You could say Vorinclex really, *ahem*, compleats the set.
What if... (and I really hope this happens) we get 1 praetor per set and this is all a lead up to the war against New Phyrexia?
@@kyoken8691 My thoughts exactly, If we follow that, by next year we will get back to new phyrexia
@@kyoken8691 OMG if they give us Gin Gitaxias in Strinxhaven, that steals (lets say) the secret of cosmos magic and also goes back to New Phyrexia...I am buying a pallet of set boosters just for that :p
Ok wait wait, even if we (safely) assume that the trolls and elves don't know Tibalt isn't who he says he is, they still think they're talking to the god of lies! These armies are confronted by someone whose main character trait is being dishonest, and then believe him about going to fight in a huge war? WHAT?!
Excellent video though, well done Ryan!
The whole story was full of moments like that. Especially the end. If they typed: kaya suddenly turned and pulled a vizidrix from her butt. I wouldn't be surprised. The writing is 6th grade level with little depth
Fits with Norse myth though. Everyone knows Loki is going to make things worse but they roll with it anyway, Loki knows he’ll come off worse but he does it anyway. The gods are kind of more into the fun that fighting the chaos brings than averting it beforehand.
The Mustache Minute is, like the Mustache in general, on point!
The story: Alright lets hunt a phyrexian in Valhalla
The phyrexian: Runs away
The story: Ragnarok happens
Me: Wait, what? Where did Vorinclex go
The epilogue: Oh. Shit. OH SHIT.
I'm hoping that Vorinclex secretly left some glimmering oil in the cosmos elixir. Imagine if the next time we came back to Kaldheim all the gods turned into Phyrexian praetors.
@@triopsate3 imagine if that was the second set of the block...
@@triopsate3 😯🥴
Vorinclex was on some real gang shit jumping someone in their home and stealing their drink before dipping
@@spectre3926 emrakul:*exists*
Vorinclex:oh thats a eldrazi. ...OH. OH NO.
Soooo... God phyrexians... Cool cool cool. **sweats profusely**
*giggles with excitement*
the phyrexians are so rad. can't wait for a new set with em!
Esika was dying. I hope she doesn't die. She's wholesome.
Seriously, who's gonna feed all them cats?!
She lives in a hole in a tree with a squirrel... That so happens to have a sweet bubbler for the gods. I find her character terribly shallow
Hope she gets banned in brawl though
@@CarmenCards me too she’s ruining my damn tyvar deck that I build with like all my wildcards because I like green...
She was like 3 feet from an elixir of immortality (pun intended) worst case shes all scarred up and badass now
Considering how bad the lore got lately, I think Kaldheim turned out alright, there's still a lot of room for improvement (a lot) but they're heading in the right direction, I hope the stories can go back to being good one day.
I was literally searching it when the notification appeared, nice
My suspicion is that this story is the story team slowly trying to erase and forget War of the Spark: Forsaken where both the Kaya and Tezeret stories left off.
You know, whatever you think about the story we can all appreciate how amazing Arni's story was. That dude is actually the coolest thing
I was so confused why I pulled verrexian out of the prerelease I think it’s cool to have that mysterious why he is there
I liked the aspect of the different realms. Most planes feel very small and compact and this reminded me of the days when everything happened on Dominaria and we really got to explore a huge world
Wow, I would like to take a guess and say Tezzeret is the one behind the schemes. He is helping the Phyrexians, and he hired Kaya to kill Vorinclex. As well as he sent Tibalt there to cause some chaos. Also it would be cool if Tyvar, Niko, and Kaya went on a journey together. Those three seem like the new Jace, Gideon, and Chandra.
why is he helping the phyrexians and lazav at the same time tho. And please no more kaya any one but her
@@donb7519 Its Tezzeret. No one but him knows why he does what he does. He wanted Nicol Bolas to lose, even though he was helping him. Somewhere down the line from when Bolas resurrected him and now he could've been infected. He was on Mirrordin when the Phyrexians were invading it.
@@greenscalekingdom3143 i mean everyone who worked with bolas wanted him to lose tez was just playing both sides like them and it still ignores the ravnica stuff
@@donb7519 I have always felt they never finished the fight against new Phyrexia and Tezzeret for all we know had been on their side since he left New Phyrexia. I agree they never mentioned Ravnica in the story, but we dont know where they are going we can just guess. What would suck is if they use the elixir to revive Yawgmoth with Venser's body. Yeah his body is still on New Phyrexia😡
So...wait a minute, lemme get this right: the phyrexians/praetors (the monsters of the midway) now have a sample of an elixir of immortality?!!? Am I the only one kinda shittin myself at the thought of a phyrexian gaining immortality or....?
You will not be alone, if you join us.
Neither the eldrazi nor Bolas were 'killed' in the story, just sealed away (if i am correct). So immortality is not a big issue i would guess.
All will be one and i guess now gods
@@adammahoney9407 Gods......Wait a minute.....OF F***.....YAWGMOTH!!!!!@
I think its the metal. Since the sword that can cut though realms was made from the free sap or something the tree make.
We really need multi-block sets back. These stories are shallow and cards overpowered, The best in several planes are a bad mix.
I agree, they have tied the sets together with a unifying mechanic (double sided cards for Zendikar Rising, Kaldheim, and Strixhaven) what if they also told a loose or themed narrative over those three sets? From a gameplay perspective I prefer no multi block sets, but you are right, these stories lack soul. A spark if you will.
Yeah, the pace of the story truly suffers badly from the current model. Every one of these latest sets would have benefited from it.
To each their own but no thanks. Limited has been consistently better since getting rid of small expansions and I'm not seeing the correlation between power level and distribution model. It's not too many planes it's wotc pushing its new mechanics, which also happened with expansions. Cascade? Anyway I like the variety and don't at all miss 6 months of thematically monotonous blocks like Scars of Mirrodin.
The reason we need multiple blocks set is so that the new mechanics can be properly tested and scaled. Scars suffers from phyrexian mana, you know that one mechanic that, was only in that one part, of the set, New Phyrexia.
@@Rioxma As far as the Party support goes, I can understand that Changelings were implemented into Kaldheim just for this reason but really doesn't feel. . . natural to the lore.
I love hearing these stories, they are always interesting to hear about. And yeah I enjoyed some of the events on the plane. The ending makes me think that Phyrexians are coming back.
100% agree with the Tyvar-Tibalt interaction being one of my favorite parts of the story. Even if these 5-part miniseries aren't perfect, they're so much better than the stuff we've been getting the past years, so I'll take the progress! And who knows, maybe there IS an overarching plan that will make Ikoria/Kaldheim/Phyrexians tie together, the red star-shaped portal could be a clue for future stories.
My prediction for not seeing the god of death is that he was there but had no reason to reveal himself since all he's there to do is guide the dead
Honestly I have never enjoyed a magic set as much as this since Dominaria and, with the inclusion of Phyrexians it is amazing! Thanks for helping me understand what is going on in the Magic Story!!!!!
I really liked the side stories in this set. Especially the story about Arni was pretty awesome.
"Who's helping the phyrexians move between planes" its tezzeret.
This is the real story.
There was snow...
The end
"Would be a neat twist if it turns out one of the characters was a shapeshifter"
Actually, all of them are, unbeknownst to each other.
(spider-man pointing at spider-man meme)
I had only one Problem with the Story:
Where was Angrath? Even a little chapter with him baking cookies together with his daughters would've been ok with me.
Edit: Yeah, I mixed some things up. Angrath is (probably) not from Kaldheim. Thanks again @Francisco Wagner for pointing out my error. :)
What? Is Angrath from Kaldheim? Where did you get this from? We don't even have minotaurs as a tribe in the set
@@xicufwm Maybe I'm remembering it wrong, but in Ixalan he always remarked how he wanted to go back to Kaldheim and his daughters and in the last Story part from the Ixalan block its a short scene of him returning. In Ravnica with the immortal sun he also was sick of being stuck on this plane. Again maybe I'm remembering it wrong, or my brain is filling some blanks, but I always have it in mind like this.
Edit: He once traveled to Kaldheim from Ixalan to test the strenght of the Immortal sun, but it was never stated, that it was his home. Even when he visits his home, it's never stated to be Kaldheim, so yeah I was wrong. Thanks for questioning my statement. Now I have no reason to be dissapointed anymore. :)
My mental image of Kaldheim before it was announced was Garruk and Angrath fighting in the snow and neither showed up in the set.
@@harrison1735 Now is see them both fist fighting in red snow whit metal music in the background (and garruk having an amazing viking beard)
That'd be metal AF.
i would love a story to flesh out Garruk, i love the character so much but feel that there so much more before the chainveil arc, i know he was a farmers son, almost conscripted so he ran, grew closer to animals then humanity, was captured then like the badass brute, murders the warden and takes the helmet, while on innistad, liliana killed a beast which was his comparion so he tried to kill her but there still alot of him that missing like where is he from, how did his spark ignite, also if anything i think it would be maybe garruk vs tibalt, it happened in innistad before the curse consumed him, tibalt was causing trouble and attacked Garruk, he immediatly drops tibalt and tries the decapite him till tibalt walks away to live on, in kaldheim, Garruk may of being helping kaya or something, like the trolls, tibalt pissed them off and leaves Garruk and Kaya to fight, garruk and kaya beat them and follows, plays out the same till after tibalt drops the sword and flees, Garruk follows to another realm of kaldheim and fight tibalt where tibalt cant keep running from the hunter, something like that
Honestly, while the story of Kaldheim seems relatively disparate, I really like what they've done in terms of development. It seems like they've done really good setup work for a later return to Kaldheim (and even a return to Phyrexia should they go that way). They've made Kaya a bigger part of the story and given us an in to an otherwise unexplored new plane, and they've finally done something with Tibalt! I also really like that the flavor clicks without seeming overwhelming.
Honestly, while there are story beats that could have been hit cleaner, and I sincerely am sad they didn't include Garruk in some fashion, I like Kaldheim flavor- and story-wise.
@Bo Kuen Tao Don't bring that shit in here. C'mon now.
I'd love to see Oko and Tibalt have their own set where they're constantly trying to troll each other. In fact have that be an Un-Set thats Standard Legal.
Ryan: "There was also no mention of the shapeshifters..."
The shapeshifters: "well excuse us for actually being competent at our one job!" :D
Regarding characters missing from the story, I think I prefer that over the Dominaria quick pace and absurd name-dropping, trying to somehow mention all places and legendary creatures in just a few chapters.
It almost feels like Hour of Devastation leading into the War of the Spark.
Hour of Devastation was pretty cool
YES. I was looking for this video! Thank you guys, your summaries help so much!
That mustache minute is gold really
Ahhh dang! Story time!
And I was gonna be productive this morning! Guess the work can wait until I'm done listening to my favorite loremage :)
You too?
Harald rides off with the elves on a reindeer. Man Santa is going to be pissed
... how many religions did you just damn flip off...
It warms my heart as I see the sub and view count numbers get bigger. You both deserve it. What a lovely show.
Thanks for the wrap up! Seems like Kaldheim has a lot going for one video.
Also now that you pointed out the card art detail, I can't unsee it.
Yea unsurprisingly, I came to the same conclusion, that was a lot of cool shining stuff but extremely shallow overall.
As everyone else, I'm excited to see the phyrexian threat coming back and plotting, but the rest is less than average imo.
Lots of "cool 4th wall breaking" comments from Kaya that just found distracting and out of place, lots of deus ex machina moments, also Tyvar Kell is basically the perfect Mary Sue / shonen hero that is so carefree and talended that he succeeds at everything everyone else finds impossible and ... *yawn* sorry I'm bored.
I can go on and on about how everything seemed to be on the nose and shallow but my last big comment is about kaldheim itself.
As cool as it is overall, and many people may disagree with this point but I find it to be one of the most UNINSPIRED planes I've seen ever. It is litterally "norse mythology, the plane" with barely any twist on it, and I find it insulting, even "western tales, the realm" a.k.a Eldraine had more of originality in it (still not that much though).
I really wish they stopped this trend of slapping "new cool shiny stuff" on our faces and instead focused on bringing more depth to their craft; even just with 2 set arcs as they used to do. Not only for the story, but also for the mechanics they add to the game. I feel like a lof of mechanics are created and abandonned on the spot while I feel like a lot of them have some potential for more support and that there remains a huge creative space.
On the top of my head, I wish we could have had more companions; even if it is arguably one of the most broken mechanic of these recent years, I kinda liked the idea and I feel like there was some space for more ideas (for instance with companions that you could use not with deck list restriction but board state), and the same with foretell, party (I hate it but more support might have helped) and so on.
And now, knowing that the next story will one more throw all this stuff out the window and possibly give us "Harry Potter, the plane", you might guess that I already hate it x)
Some people have speculating that Strixhaven will be more Hero Academia or the Charles Xavier School (X-Men) than Harry Potter, either way I think that Strihaven could be a mix of every "magic" schools in pop culture (like Ikoria was a mix of Godzilla, Sharknado, Attack on Titan and Pokemon) but following the already established schools of magic in D&D, they already mentioned transmutation as Tyvar's power
To be honest that's how Theros was too. Literally Greek mythology...
@@ianchristian2844 idk if you think about it all the characters in theros are similar to Greek characters.
Wait so Kaya was defeated by some trolls after nearly killing Vorinclex, a goshdarn Phyrexian praetor.... wotc wth
Stupid plot armor I tell ya...
Two 4/4s beat a 6/6 on block, now don't they
@@shinsua_ Yes and flying squirrels can beat an eldrazi titan and pigs are stonger than trained soldiers. But stats dont mean sh*t
@@koelkast9 Honestly, though, if Kaya was led to like the heart of troll territory, it seems a lot harder for an assassin-trained character, even a planeswalker, to deal with masses of giant dudes with landscapes on their backs, even if the other option is a praetor
It is nice to watch this back now that phyrexia sets are released, how it was unclear what is going to happen, how is it going to happen, the predictions in mustache minutes were actually spot on.
I really appreciate your enthusiasm during these videos! I also like that you can be critical of certain story elements (missing gods) while keeping a positive demeanor.
Loved this video, the story of the set... not that much.
I was expecting at least one battle between the gods, I like the idea of a new Phyrexian invasion, though.
Loved the mustache minute, Ryan!
"The protagonist of our story is Kaya,"
*Distant crowd booing*
I think Kaya has been one of the better characters lately. What's your problem with her, exactly?
@@MagicArcanum Still grieving for the Obzedat T_T
Always a pleasure to see arcanum in my sub box. Love you guys
Tyvar confidence was my favorite part of that story, I smiled like stupid remembering my Tyvar days.
What if Ashiok is helping the phyrexian planeswalk?
"It was all a dream"
Am I crazy or was Niko Ares nowhere to be found despite being on so damn many cards
Hey, I just found your channel like a week ago and have been binging it while climbing the mythic ladder. I really enjoy your content. I like the stories, the lore, the flavor wins lol. Light hearted, fun, funny, informative and we all love MTG. Keep doing what you're doing. Great job!
I am so glad i found this channel! Honestly the stories have so many loose ends at this point that makes them hard to follow. But magic arcanum makes it so much easier to follow! Will enjoy this channel forever and ever.
The cool things that I expect from Strixhaven is answers, cause that is what a school/university does, right?
No, it gives you depression and maybe a diploma.
@@AdriWan Fair enough, depression I already got, diploma I am working on it
Many people believe that Stixhaven will be like Hogwards but I imagine it more like the school from The Promised Neverland.
One more source of information about the set is the trailer. In the extended version, it looks like it's Inga who is giving Kaya the axes. 🪓🪓
A lot of the trailer doesn't match the story :/
And whatever happened to wolf and Inga facing each other.
The fact about Tibalt is that he was hiding in kaldheim I read his "i was there to cause chaos anyway" like a excuse to not seem bad, the story is written from his point of view
Nice new intro! Always a pleasure to join you for story time!
Waste of good characters designs, i also expected do see Garruk there, i believe he was be a better fit than Kaya.
Interesting dire story for the realm of humans. BUT, like you mentioned at the end, Tibalt's motivations are kind of lame. Guess there's a reason he's red and not blue.
Vorinclex showing up already takes away from Kaldheim for me. It's the first time we're here and they immediately throw in main villains from a different plane.
Yeah, Planeswalkers kind of do this anyway but I feel like they get a pass where regular creatures shouldn't. Maybe I need this to happen a couple more times for the normalization to kick in.
The New Intro blows my mind.
Love the omage to the old one with those 4 notes and still makes it so different and magical that gives an immage of starting a fantasy adventure and knowing that it still is Magic Arcanum just grander.
Best Choice!
You don't know how long I've waited for this video. Thank you!
How kaya defeated a predator but everything in this frikin weak plane keeps almost killing her... I hate plot armor...
Honestly, I prefer it when the stories of sets are mostly independent. After years of the incredibly boring Gatewatch it's nice to see some new storytelling ideas. War of the spark very nearly made me quit magic.
Loved it. Thank you!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR WEEKS! THANK GOD YOU MADE IT !
Just want to say I always look forward to your videos!
First video of yours I see, and I must say I loved it!
Ryan and Nicol, I’ve been waiting every day for this episode! Haven’t even watched yet but just wanted to let you guys know I’m so happy when you guys post 🙂 Truly the best channel. Thank you so much
I appreciate this channel so much!
Thank you for the LOST reference. I gave up on that show about half way through the 5th season.
Awesome, video as always!
I love this break down . Keep up the good work
I must say that your videos are really inpiring and i love them. I like the way you explain the lore.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG
Great work!
Excellent story full of cards that throughly tell the inside story of Kaldheim. Wonderful job, thank you
Thanks Arcanum I was very curious about this storyline.
I super appreciate these lore bombs. I stopped playing MTG awhile back and stopped reading the lore after War of the Spark so these are really the only way I get to keep up with the lore and you are super good at it. TY for them.
Only recently got into Magic. These videos have been really helpful catching up with lore related stuff.
I love the new intro. Keep up the good work, Ryan and Nicole!
Always love the story recaps.
This summary was way more interesting than the actual story on Magic's main web site. And it was much easier to understand.
I think this was an excellent introduction to a new plane. There's still plenty to explore in future sets, which I am looking forward to.
Thank you. As someone who’s just getting back into Magic the Gathering, I missed out on some of the lore. Your video helped me get back up to speed. Thanks again.
Glad I could help!
I always like watching these because I can never get through reading the stories myself; the writers feel as if they are not really putting their best foot forwards. Anyway, it definitely seems like whoever storyboarded this plane wanted to tell too many stories at once but didn’t consider the fact that they only had one set to tell it. You’ve got tibalt and Vorinclex showing up to the plane for completely unrelated reasons coincidentally at the same time so Kaya can end up going from hunting one to the other. You also have Niko Aris who has his completely unrelated side story and whose character barely extends beyond “I wanna be a hero!” and an unimpressive card design. The two real stories that the writers wanted to tell were an awkward mix of self-contained plot that only deals with the specific plane and an attempt to set up a much larger confrontation with Magic’s last true big bad. I like the idea of setting up a larger story but the lack of multi-set planes leaves us with shallow stories that never give the writers enough time to do anything interesting. In the end, it’s just disappointing because Magic has had great stories with massive interconnected plots in the past, but now everything feels too isolated and the writing feels like it is trying too hard to be trendy.
Finally i have waited for long time ♥️♥️♥️
So happy for tjis 24 min video! I want even more longer video!!!! Amazing!
We have this awesome long mtg story we NEED an mtg tv show well done asap,let's hope we get one well done soon! We need you on the show storyline crew!!!
This is just awesome!
Man I love the lore for all the sets. It gives so much more meaning to the cards I pull
Yaay I’ve been waiting for this video!
I just started watching your story videos they are very well done
That outro is SICK!!!
This guy is a great story teller. Thank you sir
You're a life saver, dude!
