"He spoke ancient words. A ritual, a promise, but backwards. Taking back a gift he had once bestowed onto another." What a line, still gives me chills
The fact the Sorin looked away as he unmade Avacyn makes it seem as if he actually had an emotional attachment to his creation.
Avacyn was my favorite MTG character. I loved her so much that I made her costume for Halloween and Cosplayed as her at a convention. All my friends knew how I avoid spoilers and prefer to be surprised at the prerelease but when I decided I wanted to dress up as Avacyn at a Midnight Pre-release they were like "someone has to tell her before she finds out by walking in and someone tells her she's dead!" I ended up running into the Anguished Unmaking art and flavor text 2 days before the prerelease and was devastated. When I heartbrokenly went to 3 different groups of friends I found out that they all knew and none of them had the heart to tell me. >_
... it's a fictional character.... in a card game not even in a book
Maybe it's not so much the media, but more the story that compells?
Dustin Puma Can she not appreciate a character? Honestly why be toxic over something we all enjoy.
Someone always has to be a dick. Might as well let it be that piece of trash.
Anyways.
At least your friends didn't ruin the story for you 😊
Blame Nissa.
I am so sad Avacyn is dead cause she was such a great character, but it made a great story.
It did?
Idea
Avacyn:so...rin...
Sorin:...sleep my little angel. Your pain now ends.
Looks like Avacyn won't be sorin through the skys anymore.....
+GhoulsInTokyo too soon or not soon enough
+Bohdan Bilas It had to happen......
This is an emracool pun
"Come to the cellar avacyn I need to ash you a question."
-Sorrin Markov
Avacyn was the reason I even gave the color white a chance, which lead to my first red-white deck in Avacyn Restored. I even made a red-white SoI deck in honor of her this time around. R.I.P. Angel of Hope. You are and always will be my favorite legendary creature. :'(
If you become that attached to characters in the lore, I think that's a good sign you should continue reading
Why I started a red white, when I started I was blue white.
Avacyn and Aurelia the warleader are my absolute favorite cards
with all those Angels chasing him, I guess Sorin really committed an avaSIN
wow that hurt... I loved it :D
Lorenzo Marasigan owwwww
in summation:
Avacyn: "you're not my real dad!"
Sorin: "I brought you into this world young lady, and I can take you out of it"
Sorin Markov: Angry Dad of the multiverse.
I can see Tamiyo writing furiously on a scroll while this is happening thinking to her self, "This story is sure to be a best seller back home!!"
When I was reading SOI I was hoping Sorin would manage to cleanse Avacyn of the corruption and that this would be enough to Ignight a Plansewalker spark in Avacyn she would be an Angel Plansewalker.
CrystalWing Ghirarga I'm not sure avacyn would have been able to become a planeswalker as she was created not born and I think you have to be born with a spark (Or take one from someone like Karn had from his creator)
Given that angels are beings of pure mana, I'm not sure angel planeswalkers could happen.
They could happen in a similar way to Karn.
@@cassie5248 Then Sorin would have to sacrifice his spark and willingly give it to Avacyn
sorin: "I had to."
(tears..)
The ultimate showdown. Vampire v. Archangel. Really loved this set.
+Christopher Krotz Now that is a Duel deck I would love
I read "I am Avacyn" the same way I heard "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath. Yes, something is wrong with me.
Like the intro bit or the actual song lyrics?
"We pray to Avacyn on high.
On snow white wings fearless you fly.
Keep safe our souls. Keep safe our lives.
May angels watch us from the skies."
Rest in peace, Avacyn. May your chronicle be rejoiced in the annals of time.
As avacyn fades her final word are heard throughout the chamber "im melting melting!"
Seiben told me I "had to" leave a comment.
Just like Sorin "had to" off my favorite non planeswalker character ;-;
Will P. I rather enjoyed the way she descended into madness and how she slowly realized her actions. It was very interesting and cool. I didn't enjoy her death very much tho.
Hey guys, quick update!
I got a new computer last Sunday and since then I've been tweaking with the audio settings. I'm not able to get the quality I expected. Rather than put out something nasty sounding, I'm going to continue working on the issue. This means FNl may be postponed until the issue is resolved. Sorry for the inconvenience.
FNL will be ready tomorrow!
just keep doing what you do and we good :3
You know some of my friends often felt that Wizards of the Cost never gave a good reasons as to why Sorin could not make another Avacyn. I told them that more then likely Sorin created his arc angle and the Helvault pre-mending, and see as he is kinda a introvert and out of touch with the going on of other planes, just assumed his drop in power was do to the incredible amount of magic needed to create them. What do you guys think?
I agree with you. He is very powerful, but never as he was premending.
Sorin created Avacyn and the Helavault before the Mending. That's correct.
Hopefully they bring back Sorin to put Nahiri back in her place. (Though I doubt it will ever happen with the way WotC has been going.)
Funnily enough, Nahiri has only ever fought Sorin when he was weakened. (First time when he was nearly completely mana exhausted, and the second time when he was emotionally devestated and handicapped by Ugin.)
sorin's spell: " Avacyn, more like ava-unseen, tada" to which jace responds "hey thats my job as the illusionist"
An Angel that we all could learn from. A figure of hope, love, faith and honor. May her lessons live on in our hearts so that we never fall to the corruption and so we never give in to the evil that she protected us from.
"Hush child" said Sorin
"I won't be your instrument of evil!"
"Bitch I've been playing you this whole time!"
"No! ... No!"
"Yes! I am YOUR father!"
"I don't have parents."
"Father sounds better than creator."
"And kinkier"
"Just shut up and do as I say."
"No!"
-kills her-
So Bye bye Miss um Angel-pie
Shut up! I said the music died! And I killed the only instrument here!"
Bye bye Mr Vampire-guy his heart is heavy after the bevy he took as she had to die. And them good old demons were sucking marrow and blood saying this will be the day we un-die!
I don't even know what this is anymore but it was fun!
Love the lore!! And there are indeed a LOT of unanswered questions. Can hardly wait to see how it plays out, with the help of your lore vids that is. Ha. Thanks again!!
Thank you so much for the time you put into this channel! i would not read the MTG history my self - but i really enjoy these videos
I love Avacyn, it just un-made my soul to watch her go :/
"I had to ..." You can feel Sorin's pain
I found this channel a bit ago and I love it so much! I love the lore behind this game and the approach you take to it
I guess Sorin didn't want to look into the abyss to see Avacyn staring back.
I will miss you Avacyn.
Sorin:Avacyn GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM MISSY!!!
AVACYN:you are not my Real Planeswalker.
I've watched many episodes but never Avacyn one so interesting that I had to comment!
Love your work, keep it up!
sorin is such a badass, I cant imagine what he was feeling when he had to unmake avacyn...
Great future story return of Avacyn! May she rise again!
Or black white red
Awww, i thought Avacyn could have been saved
Have you ever seen the anguished unmaking art?
+K The Gamer Well we don't know what is going to happen next, EM is going to be a very lore anticipated set
so this has been one of the more interesting lore videos. it also helps with coming up with adventure hooks for my MTG D&D Planescape campaign.
Just found this channel. I'm finally starting to understand Magic Lore. Thanks.
I am really sad that avacyn dies can have the card to remember her
+Brian Nunez You might have a good chance, I have been drafting like crazy because I want one and this set is great for draft
Thanks I hope to get that avacyn
Avacyn entered the battlefield, then promptly purified ~
That was anguishing unmaking. It leaves the plane hopeless and heading to the helvault. Enough bad attempts at puns. Great video. Loved your channel for a long time. Make me wonder if Siguarda, Brunna, and Gisella will take charge of the Angels.
So basically as the light of the former star that was Avacyn Angel of Hope dips below the horizon an Eldric Moon Dawns over Inistrad. This story line is quite good, and you've done a good job presenting it Seiben
Puns are for people who have less of a life than I have. And I have no life, just like Avacyn.
+Dear Doctor Dumbass Official gold lol
SeibenMTG
I thought so.
Know the mast of puns? Deadpool. And he has an endless life.
kylarking
Deadpool died actually.
+Dear Doctor Dumbass Official thanos curses him with immortality.
Anguished Pun-Making
I love these stories. It ties in so well with the art and the mechanics.
This story was really well done by telling it through avacyn's eyes. I can't wait for the next set!
Turning Avacyn into a parched angel much have left her creator feeling Sorin the chest. At least she had a funeral by pire.(pyre) Too bad she didn't listen to him, he had to wing it. Despite this, Sorin's judgement was a bit harsh. Maybe a new angle would be the best way to combat Nahiri. His old method of stonewalling her didn't seem to do much. Now he will have to deal with Emrakul appearing innistradosphere. Perhaps the old chapel have something besides Avacyn in the basement to help him fight. If things keep going on the way they have been, Jace bettarun before the stakes are too much for even Sorin to take. Then again, Sorin has proven that he can dish out extreme punishment if you are in Avacynity around him. Trust me, Sorin's Vengence is something you don't deal with. I don't know if I can think of a more Grim Nemesis to face than the Lord of Innistrad. I passed him in a draft once, and I still have a Markov shame.
Well she has bit the dust
She was a bit of a Queen
You guys so really read the story though, by far the best written we have seen in the lore stories.
agreed. please read it! it's linked in the description.
Really looking forward to what Nahiri is setting up. Nice job on explaining this one!
so, I sill don't know who fucked avacyns mind
it was probably Nahiri messing with the cryptoliths
+SeibenMTG Damn you nahiri, after spiking in price you now screw with avacyn!!!
nahiri with a emrakul (in eldritch moon) in standard? hope so
+SeibenMTG Im confused wasn't the cryptoliths made by Nahiri and she's using them to channel the whole planes mana to summon something? How i understood the story the mana "drain" effect is driving creatures thats is made out of mana(Angels) and have alot of mana in their system(like werewolf) insane its also waking thing up thats been sleeping.
I might be wrong but isnt Avacyns insanity just an byproduct of this effect?
Then again the werewolf might be going insane because the moon is being pulled in.
(im sorry if im wrong some of the stories i only scanned over so i might have miss read them)
Also the fatpack player guide has the deal with Sorin and Olivia written in it and an bit of eksta text that said
Jace want Sorin help with Emrakul. But Sorin realized what Nihiri had been doing, and that he had played right into her plan.
Emrakul did, as she is warping everything Physical in Innistrad. Nahiri just is pulling Emrakul towards Innistrad using the cryptoliths.
Thank you for the video, the lore in MTG really is fantastic and I thank you for bringing it to me in such a wonderful manner.
love the digital versions of songs for the endings. Puts that extra personal touch
It's really cool how they link cards to the storyline. The dynamic between Sorin and Avacyn is interesting.
"In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear"
Across the plane of Innistrad all manner of person and beast can hear the soft melody as Sorin slowly walks out of the grand cathedral.
I'm glad you made this video. I know the story on the website covers it, but it being paraphrased is superior.
I love this channel! Best lore videos out there, I check here before I check wizards now.
I really love the Innistrad plane and its story with Avacyns disapearing in the first block, and now Avacyn's madness, Nahiri and so on... really my favourite plane.
cant wait to find out more on Eldritch moon. great video!
Poor Avacyn still recognize Sorin as her father, "If I'm not the daughter you want..."
Avacyn Restored was one of my favorite sets. I pulled Avacyn in that set and fell in love with her lore. It's funny because my friend's favorite character is Sorin and he always reminds me that he made (and now killed) my favorite angel. I will make a commander deck for her so she can live on.
Thank you for these lore videos. This one and "to kill a titan" are my favorites so far.
I like how we got a look at the story from Avacyn's point of view. I guess you could say we saw it from a different angel!
I cannot wait for Eldrich Moon! Can't wait to see what happens! Really enjoy these lore videos
I just wanted to say that i really like your channel ^>^ As lore lover wich is dyslectic, reading takes way to long to have fun. So this way i can still pick up allot of lore :3 looking forward to your next video!
That story is so intense! Thanks for the video
Avacyn will be missed, but WOW was this a finish to the SOI story. finally everything is explained. thank you so much Seiben!
I truly love hearing the lore of magic! This is one of my favorite characters, shame she had to die, or is she really gone? Just have to wait and see!
Wow, I can't believe Avacyn is dead. Keep up the good work seiben! I love your channel, I try listening to the lore here whenever I can
I love both of the artworks for Anguished Unmaking, especially the promo. They capture the emotion of the moment, in which Sorin must end Avacyn, who is almost like his daughter, perfectly.
I love the art work change of the avacyn card.
"I'm here to help!"
"Are you ready to die for your sins mortal!?"
I really enjoyed this video, it was quite well made and you nailed the art for the transitions! As for being punny, I once did a theatrical performance about puns, but really it was all just a play on words. Moving into the next set, we may be seeing a lot to do with the drownyard temple, or we may just see a paddle sale at the local shop in the Port Town. With all the zombies around though, that might be quite the oar deal. Anyways, I would really dislike seeing another Eldrazi set, but until we figure out what's going on in Innistrad, just remember that Rick Astley will lend you any Pixar movie except for one. He's never gonna give you Up.
Such a great ending to the SOI lore. The alternate art Anguished Unmaking has the scene from behind Avacyn and is awesome.
lol, when the set SOI was being designed, it was codenamed TEARS by the staff. Definitely worthy of the name!
One of my favorite lore in MTG refering to my favorite Angel, i like a the Innistrad plane story a lot, i cant wait to know the plot end in this story, i really like this videos, keep making this incredible lores :)
Love the lore vids. BTW I guess Sorin was anguished during Avacyn's unmaking.
I like that wizards isn't afraid of darker endings than we expect; the phyrexians taking over mirrodin, killing elspeth, and now killing innistrad's hope. Unexpectedly intense stuff
Keep up these lore videos. They're great.
I pulled an Anguished Unmaking in my SOI pre-release box, I was super bummed for Sorin, cuz it gave me a heads up about how the Avacyn story was going to end. I'm excited to start hearing more about Eldritch Moon!
This was the moment I was waiting for since I saw Anguished Unmaking (which is probably my favorite card from the set despite not playing it).
Nice job! Enjoy your narratives!
I'm new to magic and this is actually one of the cooler channels/things about it
Ever since I saw the spoiler art for "Anguished Unmaking" I knew it was Avacyn that was going to die, I've hated that Sorin would have to destroy his own creation. Nahiri is going to pay for this! Love the videos Seiben, long live the Lore! Farewell Avacyn...
This story was so heartful! Thanks for your voice..
Oh, the cruel curiosity to know what´ll follow in Eldritch Moon; the story has been absolutely great so far!
One of the cool things about that article just after Avacyn was unmade was the images of her symbol on tons of other cards. Her not being around is a BIIIIIIG problem for the people of Innistrad.
This one really pulled on the heart strings!
great Lore-telling! thanks for the funtimes!
Man, another great episode! Keep it up seiben! Also winning an Avacyn would be awesome lol
love the story in soi, super excited for eldrich moon and all that will come with it
I love the content of your channel. I always tell people about your channel. Thank you.
Great video! Thanks for the lore!!
Great vid Seiben thanks again.
dude! what an awesome series! thank god. i'm way too lazy to find the lore myself.
Very unexpected turn of events, did not expect this at al!
This is very interesting, with the events to come I can't wait for the next set SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And nice 8-bit nsync song !!!!
Eldritch Moon is probably the title of Sorin's next hit single. Dude reminds me of the most metal band ever.
To destroy the one undeniably good thing you've ever created, even if it had been corrupted, must have been painful. The question that may haunt Sorin is could he have still healed her?
Also, I see what you did there with the outro song. I give it a "radical, man!" in the spirit of the 90's.
Impressive lore, even more impressive give away! I would love to make a EDH deck with her
Wow, that's quite a giveaway !!! Thanks for the opportunity Seiben
Whats interesting to me is not the death of avacyn, but the world quaking as the planar protection fell
bonuses for punny? well my chances jus flew the coop. looking forward to Eldrich moon and more of this story.
Wow, I was sort of expecting the ending though because of the card languish unmaking but still..... no more avacyn :( I love your channel Sabien MTG, in my opinion it's the best way to learn about mtg lore (only way I do :p). Also I feel so lucky to have started to truly get involved with MTG just before SOI because it is just an amazing set! And im sure I'm not the only one to think that.BRING ON ELDRICH MOON!
