The 'Brothers war' really needs to be a mature animated Netflix show, like a cross between Arcane and Game of thrones. Starting with Urza & Mishra's mother dying and ending with Urza's death, while also showing the fall of the Thran (and the rise of Yawgmoth) as flashbacks. With each 'chapter' of Urza's life being a season. - ie: working for Tocasia, the Brothers war, the siege of Phyrexia, Tolarian academy, the Weatherlight, etc)
I too would like to see that, but unfortunately, they are bound to rewrite the story completely and just end up makeing a mess of it. It has happened so many times with so many stories before
@@stinkvingertjie this! 💯 This entire thread is what would make the story the next generations starwars. they would refuse to make such a thing, it'd have *the message* in it
We're kind of getting a massive block of Dominaria United - Brothers' War - Phyrexia - March of the Machine x2, all telling a continuous story. It's like the entire Standard rotation will be one giant block.
This made me tear up. I thought about my grandpa in World Ward II, a pilot instructor, and my father-in-law in Viet Nam, a foot soldier, both of whom survived those conflicts. I have hope for a future day when war is not known anymore.
Oh my god this might end up being my favorite mtg standard set, I love the feeling of massive cold powerful machines I adore the art work of the basics in this set and the more art I see the more I love where this is going I’m so excited
These videos are so important to me. They breathe so much life into the wonderful multiverse you've built. So excited to delve into this. Needless to say, thank you artists for taking my breath away for 30 years and counting.
I feel like meld will always be a battlecruiser mechanic anyways, so I wouldn't use those as the benchmark. Plus the dragon engine looks kind of insane for a colorless 3 drop. This is an artifact based set, and given magic's history with artifact sets...
I think that this may be the best Story Expansion in the whole history of Magic. I love idea of different units and three factions with different strengths and weaknesses.
Would love to see the set explore Urza's dubious morality and for Teferi to realise and be taken aback by what a twisted and selfish person Urza was in his actions and motives. By getting another chance to retell the brother's war, and with the impending Phyrexian crisis, I'd love to see stories told from Mishra's perspective or at least from a non-Urza aligned character
Teferi knew Urza for hundreds, if not thousands of years, he's very well aware of Urza's personality. As for other POVs, yeah that would be cool, although Mishra had his side told in the novel.
@@the.rainmaker Teferi knew Urza intimately, but only AFTER the Brother's War. I doubt he'd know the full extent of Urza's hypocrisy and actions, or even the man he used to be. Urza before his spark is a different man than the planeswalker we know.
Most of the stories for this set actually focus on the horrors of the war, and it does put some special focus on those perpetrated by Urza and his army, they are an absolutely depressing read but they're also amazing and really good. Aside from that I don't think there's a single person in Dominaria who isn't aware of Urza's absolutely horrendous morals. The man was a genocidal warlord before becoming a planeswalker, and he became an eugenics-practicing, war-crime-commiting, eventually-turned-traitor, madman after becoming a planeswalker. I'm not saying Urza was instrumental in defeating the Phyrexians and all but like no one in Dominaria considers him a really good guy
The ONE thing I wanted from this set more than anything else was a card for Loran, Feldons wife. I just watched this video and I seriously have tears in my eyes. I bought the daretti precon years ago when it came out and played it a few times but ended up liking feldon better. He became my favorite commander ever and then I happened upon the story Lorans Smile and I fell even more in love with this deck, with this character. Not only is the story amazing but the mechanics of Feldon so perfectly fit the story. Thank you thank thank you!!!!!
I was skeptical of how they would preserve the history and depth of the original story while also expanding and reimagining the events from the Brother's War novel. I am no longer skeptical and now fully invested in this tale of bitter rivalry. I haven't been this excited for a new set since when I returned to the game with Scars of Mirrodin. Fantastic set production and absolutely stunning art. Couldn't ask for more.
I said it, the third Meld card had to be Titania! But where's The Third Path? Argoth is not the only place suffering. We had some cards about it, but no important verbal description :P
@@Arkouchie True, but what I meant was there were no verbal description of The Third Path as a whole in the "other parties surviving the war" section. There was more people of it (Hurkyl, Drafna), but talking about it was absent from the video
"This is the most important thing in the world for a lot of people. Do something cool with it!" ** Adds Transformers cards that has absolutely nothing to do with this most important thing in the world **
Or rewrite the original events of the brothers' War in a significant way either. I always hate when franchises use time travel to solve problems. It usually leads to complications.
@@JablesTheSpartan it’s a legitimate question. With how many supplemental sets come out nowadays it might be hard to tell if you aren’t a super invested player
@@victoravila9131 That would actually be hilarious if the set was just leagues ahead of every other standard set in terms of power. Most people would hate it but I at least would find it fun.
Wow. I have so much nostalgia for Dominaria United! I never would have guessed that after the long period of 2 months we'd be getting another set! Thank you. Of course I'm being sarcastic.
I'm pretty sure they'll print Tron. It's the perfect set to do so and if they teased the tower, then they'll have people who'll be expecting Tron and angry if they don't get it.
An interesting thing about the novel is that you never really get into the heads of Urza and Mishra, instead you see them from the perspective of their entoruages.
I had played in MtG since Stronghold to Mirrodin. I so hated new card frames, that I stopped play at all! But I still love story of Ursa and Mishra. And I glad to know that we will return to this story. Maybe, we will see new story books about this?
I was so hyped for this set ever since it was anounced. I preordered the set and then heard the news you were putting transformer cards in the mythic slot of a... a straight up set. A set to celebrate magic 30th. I canceled my preorder. I don't know whats going on in your marketing team, but they have such a huge disconnect with why players enjoy the game.
Even as a lifelong fan of transformers, having these cards in the boxes puts me off buying sealed for this set. Big daddy Hasbro needs to back off, short term profits are exactly that - short term and short lived.
honored to be part of this - thanks so much, and kudos to the team for putting together such a cool vid.
You always deliver quality content , thank YOU for being such a great part of this community
Really amazing delivery of the history here; keep up the great work!
Amazing video! Thank you for your stories and background. Love it.
You were the best part. Your narration on the nature of war was so good!
amazing RS thank you

@@stinkvingertjie this! 💯
This entire thread is what would make the story
the next generations starwars.

Whatever you paid Sam/Rhystic Studies for these segments--double it.
How would the dickheads who own hasbro have the money for their yachts if they pay people?
They didn’t pay, he just drew cards…
0 * 2 is sadly 0, justice for my man Sam!!
@@elibroide You mean they paid him in _exposure?_
@@LinkEX whoosh lmao
Please, return the art of magic books. The art of this set looks amazing
+1 plz
They annouced a new before DMU spoilers started, but now i can't remember the name of the art book. It's somewhere on Amazon i'm sure.
These new artworks are confirming a time traveling Teferi and we are getting an Ashnod card. This set has me excited.
Time travel by Teferi has been confirmed at the end of the last set, tho
Must not have read the DMU story eh?
* shows art of Urza's Tower *
People who said that tron will not be in standard: *nervous sweating *
Imagine if they printed only the tower
Jokes aside, I think this is a sort of "masterpiece"
WOW
@@Michael.032 FUCK
They also showed the Workshop.
Tron is BACK.
Granted, the things it's doing aren't...quite as powerful as usual.
MTG ruined artifacts mechanics by doing all "colored" artifacts, even this set didi it via prototype, so colorless artifacts is dead by design
*boos*
Man, the breakdown of the acts makes me really miss the old block system.
exactly
no blocks, and no novels. all this worldbuilding in a void.
We're kind of getting a massive block of Dominaria United - Brothers' War - Phyrexia - March of the Machine x2, all telling a continuous story. It's like the entire Standard rotation will be one giant block.
Heartily agree.
@@AaronRotenberg No it isn't. Old blocks happened in the same plane.
You forgot to mention the part where pleasant kenoby hits ursa with his ford mondeo and end the brothers war before it began
Lmao, would love to see that happen
really digging the art of this set!
same, really enjoying the art of Dominik Mayer
This made me tear up. I thought about my grandpa in World Ward II, a pilot instructor, and my father-in-law in Viet Nam, a foot soldier, both of whom survived those conflicts. I have hope for a future day when war is not known anymore.
Oh my god this might end up being my favorite mtg standard set, I love the feeling of massive cold powerful machines I adore the art work of the basics in this set and the more art I see the more I love where this is going I’m so excited
Seeing faces and awesome art attached to legendary names like Tocasia, Drafna, and Kayla, after almost 30 years, feels decidedly Magical.
You go Ladee! Proud of her for getting here, this is so exciting.
These videos are so important to me. They breathe so much life into the wonderful multiverse you've built. So excited to delve into this.
Needless to say, thank you artists for taking my breath away for 30 years and counting.
Will a draft box cost $500 in order to celebrate Magic's 30th Anniversary?
Don't give them ideas.
Have a feeling there are gonna be some heavy chase staples in this set. Just getting that vibe.
I doubt it based on the meld cards that were leaked. As those were not impressive at all.
@@polbertiom1540 If you say so. They look like derpy commander cards to me. And since that's what primarily drives prices these days...lol
I feel like meld will always be a battlecruiser mechanic anyways, so I wouldn't use those as the benchmark. Plus the dragon engine looks kind of insane for a colorless 3 drop. This is an artifact based set, and given magic's history with artifact sets...
@@polbertiom1540 I couldn't disagree more, Mishras card looks actually busted that's even without meld.
I think that this may be the best Story Expansion in the whole history of Magic. I love idea of different units and three factions with different strengths and weaknesses.
Hearing the tragedy of Argoth being dragged into the feud brought tears to my eyes.
😂 bruh!
The artwork of this set made all the previous sets cry in corners.
I want to buy this but unfortunately I’ve come down with a bad case of “ price sensitivity “
Its a common disease recently
Was that Hasbro or WotC?
Yep

@@casualenjoyer5420 True, Teferi came a lot later, but honestly Urza was always a hypocritical prick.
My prediction: Urza somehow follows Teferi back to the present and becomes a full-fledge villain (like, Bolas-style).
Most of the stories for this set actually focus on the horrors of the war, and it does put some special focus on those perpetrated by Urza and his army, they are an absolutely depressing read but they're also amazing and really good.

Ladee Danger always a pro
This art is truly amazing! Can’t wait for previews!!
"Machines Over Matter" love it!
That white-wood Titania has me thinking she'll be meld card #3
EDIT: LETS GOOOO
That's a really good guess! She'll probably meld with one of the lands from the set.
@@caseywellington4761 Maybe the throne
And you were right.

More story episodes for sets please!
Make this a movie. I would buy out the whole fricking cinema
I said it, the third Meld card had to be Titania!
But where's The Third Path? Argoth is not the only place suffering. We had some cards about it, but no important verbal description :P
There's an art in there that has Feldon's wife
Loran of the third path
Her face matches the mask Feldon's made in his card's art.
@@Arkouchie True, but what I meant was there were no verbal description of The Third Path as a whole in the "other parties surviving the war" section. There was more people of it (Hurkyl, Drafna), but talking about it was absent from the video
AYO RHYSTIC STUDIES ON THE MTG MAIN CHANNEL
Wow we got so much cool art this early, very cool
I am so happy to see Ladee Danger here.
"It's a really old story. It's like from the 90's"...... That was painful
I'm a really old person, I'm from the 90's
They better have cut Rhystic Studies a fat check for this one with all that record profit they been making
"This is the most important thing in the world for a lot of people. Do something cool with it!"
** Adds Transformers cards that has absolutely nothing to do with this most important thing in the world **
This is the perfect story for you to make a Netflix series on WotC! If Riot games can do it, why can't you? 🤔
Exactly! When I did a RPG tabletop campaign inside MTG world was exactly of this event \o/
This was based off a D&D campaign the creators made up in college so I’m not surprised
Didn't we do this with Tarkir? RIP Tasigur, the multiverse's best necklace.
ive been playing magic since 1993. i am so beyond excited for this set.
Heck yeah, Ladeee Danger! 🖤 💚
Love the story line and the artwork .
So if the brothers never found the ornithoper....none of this would have happened?
It's the true evil of the multiverse.
"Regardless of the century, plane, or species, developing artificers never fail to invent the ornithopter."
So, you're going Back to (save) the Future? Happy Back to the Future Day everyone!
Wow the green haired girl did an amazing job at bookending the video! She should be hired more often for things like this.
Time travel is a complicated thing to do in a story the average end level
"It's really old, like, from the 90's"
Thanks for making me feel "really old" hahaha
But will there be goblins?!
I really hope they don't have Teferi's time- travelling yield some magic solution to retcon Tamiyo and Ajani's compleation.
Or rewrite the original events of the brothers' War in a significant way either. I always hate when franchises use time travel to solve problems. It usually leads to complications.
This set will be amazing 🤩
Sam from Rhystic Studies is GOLD! 🥇🥇
I NEED MORE
wait so they're doing all this in a single set?
The music in this was epic! Wish we had some credits for that
Gee Urza and Mishra, how come Wizards lets you have 4 cards in the same set?
I think only 3 versions each for the Brothers, unless you're also including the Commander deck commanders, then yeah, 4 new versions.
Q: will the cards in the set will be playable in stand and modern games?
yes
Why wouldn't they be? Brother's War is a standard set
@@JablesTheSpartan it’s a legitimate question. With how many supplemental sets come out nowadays it might be hard to tell if you aren’t a super invested player
Hell yeah they are but most cards after release soon to be banned or restricted 😂

Ayyy, Fauna Shaman reprint
wait return of tron lands?
Dang, heavy hitting stuff!
10:41 Urza Tron reprint confirmed
Not confirmed, it says concept
May we get mishra tron?
could be sweet
I seriously doubt they'll do that. They've stayed away from lands producing more than 1 mana a turn

@@danielkubicek1323 no shot they'll print tron into standard
well it is fitting to see Gix get a card plus it allows for Elesh Norn to appear in the phyrexia set
"Its a really old story, its from the 90's" Me: wait that just happened.
30 years ago is a long time, remember how old the 60's felt in the 90's?
Ashnod! Tocasia! Gix!
5:58 whoa they traveled to the past to get young Dwayne Johnson and they made him grow a mustache just for this set!
I'm excited to see Windgrace show up. He has a bitter hate for the brothers.
An interesting thing about the novel is that you never really get into the heads of Urza and Mishra, instead you see them from the perspective of their entoruages.
GREAT....thanks
I had played in MtG since Stronghold to Mirrodin. I so hated new card frames, that I stopped play at all! But I still love story of Ursa and Mishra. And I glad to know that we will return to this story. Maybe, we will see new story books about this?
r we getting urza lands
I'm super excited :)
I really loved the video ❤
Can't wait to see the retcons and short term thinking when the stories come out.
Urza's tower.... Tron.... welcome to Pioneer.
I wanted to hate this... It feels like grave-defiling... but damn... The art is so good... This looking like the best art since SOI.
so this is not the "real" stream where cards and mechanics get shown, right? when will that happen?
27th
Maybe we get a card or two, but this stream mostly will show the art and some of the story. The real one is in a week
I am pretty sure it was said somewhere we would get commons and uncommon and I think it’s likely we get the final meld pair
no it’s the same as the dominaria united one. no previews just art and story
How many urzas and mishras are we getting?
Whoever did the voiceovers should do sleep meditation audio, he put me to sleep every time he talked.
The guy from Rhystic Studies is a treasure.
Just read this book and thran war def worth checking out

Pretty awesome video! You all should also check out the HEROSCAPE age of annihilation on hasbro pulse! It’s an amazing game as well!
This set looks amazing as is. The inclusion of transformer cards is a detriment.
13:48 faeries ????
will these packs also be 4 rares for a 1000 bucks?
“Grusome Realization”…? Is this a typo, or are we getting some _Despicable Me_ Universes Beyond content? 😅
can't wait 😎😎
I don't understand. We'll see a mish-mash of three time periods in one set? Three versions of the same character?
awesome
