All the cats on 9 Lives are Legendary cats in the game. Starting from top left to right and then going downwards, you have Arahbo, Marisi, Kahera, Jazal, Mirri, Jedit, Balan, and Kemba
So is the cat in 9 lives A legendary kitty?
He said it was Ajani but I thought it looked more like Marisi. Good looking out King Ginger.
Yup
I think he changed his username, otherwise idk why I called him King Ginger
Watermelonhead cat is equipment cat? Man, gotta get em cats!
All the cats on Nine Lives are characters. From left to right, top to bottom
R1 C1: Jazal Goldmane
R1 C2: Marisi, Breaker of the Coil
R1 C3: Kaheera, the Orphanguard
R1 C4: Arahbo, Roar of the World
R2 C1: Wasitora, Nekoru Queen
R2 C2: Jedit Ojanen of Efrava
R2 C3: Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist
R2 C4: Kemba, Kha Regent
Wow, Ajani isn’t even in the list!
@@NikachuMTG Probably because he's still alive :p
@@NikachuMTG in the video, the circle you said was ajani was Marisi and I was so confused
0/10 only 8 different cats.
@@DeisFortuna You didn't count the kitten in the middle ;p
That Tamio journal secret is awesome I played this card in paper and didn't even notice the different numbers
The flavor text of shock from Onslaught is :
“I love lightning! It’s my best invention since the rock.”
-Toggo, goblin weaponsmith
Guess what Toggo is doing in commander legends ?
Also in the 9th edition the flavor text was :
"“Once I saw a goblin shouting at a thunderstorm. He lost the argument pretty quickly.”
-Wandering mage
This is probably a reference to Toggo (the shock from 8th edition had the flavor text with toggo too)
5:07 That isn’t a depiction of the combo. At least, not exactly. In the lore for Shadows Over Innistrad, Nahiri summoned Emrakul from the Blind Eternities to take revenge on Sorin, bringing about an apocalypse now known as The Travails. Both the card and Nahiri’s ult depict her doing this, especially seeing as Nahiri The Harbinger was printed in SOI block.
And the main use for Nahiri in the block was with The Promised End, anyhow, not The Aeons Torn.
The Avarice Amulet one is also a running joke from Penny Arcade, where Gabe and Tycho were constantly fighting for a Pac-Man watch throughout the years. The card illustration is in fact a reference to a comic from March 02, 2002.
I love Penny Arcade. I haven't checked out the latest comics but I still jam the RPG lol
Yup, I’m a little surprised to see this card here since it’s not really a secret Easter egg, WotC was proud to show off the cards in m15 designed by people/properties not part of them. There’s a red enchantment by the people of Minecraft in there as well.
The card itself was designed by the Penny Arcade guys - there were a bunch of guest designers in m15, including Edmund McMillan, of meatboy and binding of isaac fame; george fan, designer of plants vs zombies; David Sirlin, fighting game and board game designer; and many more.
My favorite Easter egg in Magic is that the story of the Witchstalker in core 2014 gets continued in Eldraine with Fierce Witchstalker, with a burning witch's hut in the background of the art. It also shows that we got a glimpse of the plane of Eldraine many years before its release. Makes you wonder what other unassuming core set cards could become flavor for planes not introduced yet.
I like when they print odly shaped wolfs like the gevaudan beast.
There’s also that story of the Angel in that’s take solace over 4 sets and cards. It’s Angel of Flight Alabaster, Angel of Finality, Flameblade Angel, and Clip Wings. It tells the story of the same Angel
I was chatting with Jason Engle the other day and he mentioned that in the card Grim Wanderer all the other people in the pub are fellow artists. One of which is Steve Argyle. The others I don't remember but definitely a fun easter egg.
That’s amazing!
Morphling was powerful because damage used the stack. You could attack with it pumped to max, then as the damage went on the stack, pump the toughness in response.
why doesnt it die instantly tho?
@@joosttijsen3559 in the old days damage used the stack. If you paid 2 blue mana you could make him 5/1. You attack and they block with a 5/5. You put 5 damage to the blocker on the stack, and they put 5 damage to morphling on the stack. Then in response pay 5 blue mana making morphling 0/6. Then your 5 damage is dealt to the blocker, killing it, and 5 damage is done to your 0/6 morphling, and it lives. That’s why damage using the stack is silly and they don’t do it anymore.
@@nathanwilliams9158 ah ok thank you for explaining. i somehow got the sense from the post that you could go for infinite dmg without morphling dying but thats not the case
@@nathanwilliams9158 It was a way better time and made combat much more strategic.
@@Enchuritoyou're blinded by nostalgia. Take your rose tinted glasses off
Tribute mage also depicts the sword of the meek and is able to tutor for it.
There is a slight story in the flavor text for the judge and eternal masters versions of Gamble which follow a thief named Chira on some sort of indiana jones type adventure and even has a rolling boulder trap reference.
Hi Josh
Also the Innistrad Clue Token puzzle is super cool! Multi-card puzzles are definitely my favorite kind of Easter egg!
The Tempest version of Time warp has a flavor text of "Let's do it again" that is supposed to be a call back to the Ricky Horror Picture Show musical number "Let's do the Time Warp Again!"
Oh my!!!! Yes!
FYI on Nahiri the plot to inistrad 2 was her trying to summon Emrakul to destroy the place and Sorin trying to stop her (she didn't get the memo about the eldrazi being stopped on Zendikar)
Ok, so basically the Eldrazi began stirring, Nahiri called for help from Ugin and Sorin, and she ended up fixing it all on her own. She finds Sorin sitting on his ass doing nothing on Innistrad because apparently Avacyn was blocking her messages and gets furious. Sorin basically has her thrown into the Hellvault with all the other demons Avacyn had captures for centuries until Liliana busts it open. When she gets out and planeswalks to Zendikar, she popped up on the ruined Bala Ged and believed the entire plane was that way. Even more furious, she decides to call the eldrazi to Innistrad the same way she, Sorin, and Ugin had called them to Zendikar originally. Than Nahiri fights Sorin, traps him in a wall, and does... pretty much nothing after that.
But she did get the memo! She tried to help. If the strongest Eldrazi is not on Zendikar, stopping the Eldrazi on Zendikar would be easier. if it destroys Sorin home, it is even better!
@@LuisBarrim I think her summon was not directed specifically to Emrakul, rather Emrakul was the only one still left to be summoned. So I suppose she might have been trying to pull all three off of Zendikar.
The alternative art of Fatal Push kinda looks like the iconic Tempest artwork of Diabolic Edict which depicts Vhati il-Dal thrown from the Predator. I wonder if that is intentional or coincidence.
There is another extended art over multiple cards, back in Champions of Kamigawa: the Yamazaki Brothers! One of my pet cards.
Love this spinoff series Nikachu, they are lit 🔥
Probably the first series of disappearing goblins was inspired by Agatha Christie's famous book "And then there were none" one of her best.
Though the reference would make more sense if you used its original name, "10 Little Indians".
Tbh, I think its more based off of "Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed"
Can you really blame Nahiri for summoning Emrakul to Innistrad? I mean Sorin imprisoned her in the Helvault during which the Eldrazi broke free and all but destroyed her home plane of Zendikar. Still it’s cool to see a canon interaction like that depicted on a card.
Just because someone did you dirty doesnt absolve you the guilt that stems frim revenge. Crime is crime, and no amount of mental gymnastics can change that
Hi Josh 😁
Loved the module series and the clues. Just when I thought this game couldn't be any more lovable
The module loops goes deeper. In flavor texts there is a loop. Design into progress, progress into inspiration, inspiration into design
I love Magic, been paying since 4th edition back on the schoolyard.. the good old days, it's the greatest card game on earth..and that's coming from a poker fanatic.
10:18 - You missed "Kemba, Kha Regent" on the bottom right and "Mirri, Cat Warrior" on the bottom left.
Best Auntie Easteregg i found in that video xD
Nice one Nikachu !
On the Sun Titan one, the Premium Deck series: Graveborn art for the Animate Dead also features the Sun Titan being risen. Also, since Animate Dead is a 2 mana Aura, it synergises with the titan quite nicely (albeit in a different order than the art would suggest).
There's also a short story told by Pristine Angel and the Scars of Mirrodin version of Grasp of Darkness (seems like someone didn't keep a spare instant to untap when needed...).
Darksteel Relic has a dark irony wherein the flavor says that the relic is the last thing the mirrans can call their own while, in the image, the round shape of the relic and the darksteel golden ring aura together form the phyrexian symbol (Phy).
Plus, the Darksteel Relic is also featured in the Withstand Death art, which makes a creature temporarily indestructible, being used as a protective shield.
the modules flavor text, like their abilities and art, also link the same way. Design leads to progress. Progress leads to inspiration. Inspiration leads to design.
I wonder if theres anything that adds to it just as fluidly.
Whenever a creature enters the battle field you gain 1 life.
Whenever you gain a life you gain 1 mana. Thus the 5 card infinite loop with a mana cost was born.
Swarm the field with 1/1 tokens until you can win outright. with 52 life just cause you can.
Remember that damage went on the stack when morphling was superman too. So for two colorless he was a 5/1 with 1: +0/+1. He could block almost anything, especially with arcane lab so you had already countered their one spell for the turn. Great mana sink.
The journal with clues that leads to Ugin warning Jace about where Emrakul is amazing story!!!! Very creative!!!!!
Like and Subscribe if you love MTG Easter Eggs! Let me know your favorite! Also it has been brought to my attention that the cat in Nine Lives is actually Marisi, NOT Ajani. They look so alike!
liking and subscribing
You mean, aside from the fact that Ajani only has one eye?
How about seeing an eldrazi in Kamigawa? Don't believe me look at the card dreamcatcher from 2005
I can see Jedit and Jareth in there
Gotta say, I really appeciate the fact you read our comments on your last easter egg video.
I'd like to believe that the pemmin's aura card was due to my suggestion ^^
It 100% was. I don't know every Easter egg, so you guys help with future videos!
Tom Marvolo Riddle. Lol
The one that gets me is the promo version of saheeli's artistry. You can clearly see saheeli surrounded by a certain cat. The flavor text also tells me that WOTC knew what monstrosity they had put into standard.
Nahiri is literally THE stonefirge mystic. Don't know if you'll mention that, but it's true.
well, shes a lithomancer who happens to be able to planeswalk. Considering her cards, not even a very good one xD
@@ich3730 the harbinger wasn't that bad
She is not.
She is a Stoneforge Mystic. That was her role as a Kor before she went to sleep after sealing the Eldrazi away.
SFM and Nahiri are different beings but with the same job and dress code.
@@ZakanaHachihaCBC "sleep" isn't the first word that would come to mind when talking about her... she was sealed i the helvault
@@natben6099 No, she went to sleep.
She went to sleep, the Hedrons got messed up by some Vampires building a shrine to Ula so she woke up.
Then she went to Innistrad and was trapped in the Helvault.
Awesome! 🔥🔥
One of my favorites is one that’s between two cards in my Meren deck. That being Mindslicer’s appearance on the card “Dread Return.”
These Easter egg videos are my favorite, great stuff.
I love the energy in this video, thanks nikachu :3
Really like this kind of videos.... great job 👍👍
Tamyo’s journal is eye opening! Amazing!!
Nikachu the Triumoh reference "For me to POOP on!!" thats great lol i would like to invite you too a spell table game one day.
Hey Nikachu!
Another Easter Egg I've Discovered is between Hogaak Arisen Necropolis and Diregraf Colossus... both were designed by Vincent Proce... so looks like Hogaak and Diregraf may have a hidden storyline... and both were keeping alive by zombies... that was really interesting and cool :)
Interesting! We’ll wait and see how the story develops.
I think that last cat you were clowning was kemba kha regent? Thanks for the fun videos Nikachu!!
You’re welcome!
Repentant Vampire and Gallantry, from Odyssey, are cards that make extended artwork when put together and both are references to Buffy the vampire slayer.
Amazing video
Easter eggs in mtg are my fav thing
We need more!
Glad you like them!
Wow, that Tamiyo's Journal one is crazy
Few things excite me as much as when I read the flavor text of lightning bolt m10. It's the same feeling I felt when I was able to stop using shock and go on to have a real spark. It is not an easter egg but it is close.
Im'ma gonna subscribe for that Kentucky Tar-Fried Goat.
The 4 goblin cards its a reference for the most famous Agatha Christie book "And Then There Was None". Great read by the way.
Another great video my friend. Keep up the laughs and great content and I’ll catch ya on the flippity
Thanks!
@@NikachuMTG anytime. Thoroughly enjoy your content, especially modern content. Helps keep me up to date with the Meta.
Sword of the meek also shows in the "Tribute Mage's" card
Im a fan of the Stuffy saga :) the rack, black vise, ...etc :)
Not that this was released when this video was made, but the latest innistrad set has 5 rares that relate to each other (all of the 'Multi-Kicker' - ish creatures).
My favorite is on the legendary land Dark Depths on the artwork you can see a figure standing on the ice. Then in Kaldheim Orvar, the all form was released and he is standing on ice and you see a lot of tentacles just under the ice
omagad nika bruh ! do more videos like this ! just perfect !
theres also krenko mob boss and krenkos command the goblins in the art of krenkos command appear in the background of mob boss. i noticed this when i first started playing cause i bought the krenko dual decks
Yoo the encrypted clue thing is so cool
Take the Mirage basic plains side by side to make a panorama.
Right side background of Resplendent angel we see Serra's Sanctum
There’s also that story of the Angel in that’s take solace over 4 sets and cards. It’s Angel of Flight Alabaster, Angel of Finality, Flameblade Angel, and Clip Wings. It tells the story of the same Angel
There's something in the Guilds of Ravnica set that had a hidden message with italics. I want to say it was either the gates or the guildmages or something like that. Pretty cool one, but I forget what it says
I think I covered it in my first Easter egg video!
Love the 4 lil goblins Arc... I hace 3 of them
The goblins story is a throw to an old nursery rhyme. 10 little indians. I like the Agatha Christie story, of which a ton of movies have been made. Would been sweet to get a full 10 of those cards
My favorite is: the 2 goblins you see in the background of Krenko, mob boss,are the same goblins on Krenko's command.😊
I do believe the cat on the right corner is Kemba, Kha Regent from Commander 2017.
Sword of the meek is also on tribute mage art btw.
Surprised no one already mentioned it but pheldagrif is an anagram for Garfield, phd
It’s pretty well-known that the card texts reflect the novels and that the teams who make new cards are influenced by the novels in the art style and text of new releases. And I feel kinda bad for anyone who hasn’t read all of the novels (myself included.) I did read a little bit of the Parallax ordeal, but I never got to finish it.. And that had some Easter eggs for ya, the Parallax ordeal.
I like Homelands’ Dark Maze. If you put both it’s prints next to each other in a certain way, you can make an infinitely looping maze art! - RA -
you just put a very odd image in my head of my grandma and grandpa being revived as Grave Titan's intestines
2:54 It also says "Designed by Penny Arcade"
The goblin with the sol ring is also "Terror of the Fairgrounds"
You are up early. I'm old so these things really speak to me.
Awesome
Was not expecting a 10 little sailor boys reference
I don’t think you mentioned in Avarice Amuket but the flavour text says “Designed by Penny Arcade” lol
Oh i loved this
The creature in Pemmin's Aura also has the wings and tail of the Morphling impostor in the original card.
8:04 I have been using the module combo in my Standard(then)/Pioneer deck since Kaladesh. If they didn't ban walking ballista, good luck to my opponents, pew pew pew away...
Goblin Archaeologists artwork has Mirrodin Artifact lands in the background.
your bottom right meme cat was Kemba, Kha Regent
if I'm not mistaken there was a savanna lions in the last one.
I've got a sol ring irl but not that art I think sadly, forgot if it's in my prebuilt rogue anowon commander deck or my runo stromkirk commander deck, speaking of that I need to practice with my decks since I've only played like 5 or smth matches in total which had house rules
Sol ring is one of the most printed cards ever thanks to commander
The third cat that looks like the meme is Kemba, Kha Regent!!
actually through the breach is a reference to the story because she led him to innistrad as revenge to sorin and stoneforge mystic is not nahiri
About the Lions
I Think I am close to this one:
The Lions are (Left to Right)
1) Savai Thundermane
2) Marisi, Breaker of the Coil
3) Kaheera
4) Ajani
5) Mirri
6) Jedit Ojanen of Efrava (it's the only tiger with this lines on his forehead)
7) Purraj Of Urborg
8) Kemba, Kha Regent
Tamiyo Journal easter egg is amazing!
Impress your friends!
Hm, pretty sure that the cat on the bottom right is kemba kha regent from scars of mirrodin. Could be wrong though.
Oh lol! The Goblin Rhyme! I remember looking for all of them when I was younger and thought it would go up to as far as 10... but alas, it was only up till 4 haha
Now, I remember the original Lhurgoyf from Ice Age that had a flavor text that says: ACH!! Hans! Run!!! ... which continued in Stronghold's Revenant with a flavor text that says: "Not again!!! - Hans" ... this Hans person REALLY has a curse against monsters with P/T dependent on the number of creatures in graveyard(s)
Eventually, this "Hans" character will become the "Hans Ericksson" card, which has a pretty funny ability (if this card attacks, reveal the top card of your deck. If it is a creature card, put it in the play tapped and attacking a player or planeswalker. If it is a non-creature card, add card to your hand. If you summoned a creature this way, it fights Hans Ericksson. 1/1). It also spawned a card from Unhinged (I think), which is a weird remake of Sneak Attack XD It was the "Ach! Hans, run! It's the..." XD
Fortunately Hans is 1/4, so he can bait out something small and survive
You forgot Sun Titan returning on Reanimate (From your last video of Easter Eggs)
The third cat you highlighted for 9 Lives is Kemba (< name might have an "h" in it somewhere, think I slightly misspelled*)
Isn't it Marisi Coil Breaker instead of Ajani ? He has a very special beard.
Did not know about several of these, neat !
Yeah, I’m learning the finer nuances between Marisi and Ajani right now 😅 I didn’t know Marisi existed.
@@NikachuMTG Haha well Alara was a loooong time ago
Idk if Nezahal is supposed to be a fully grown Mystic Remora. But I like to prented that they are the same. Since they both have the same ability
You missed my favorite of Sun Titan, Terminate (Modern Masters), and Animate Dead (Premium Deck).
You know what, I included it in the video but I accidentally used the wrong card for reanimate and so cut it out. I’ll include it in a future video!
Honorable mentioned: If you look at all the basic lands between Amonkhet and Hour of Devastation, you'll find the perfect representation of visual story telling.
For the commander deck armed for battle the Box Commander is wielding a sword that is also an equip item I've got the deck but I don't want to look at it I think it's called Soul fire sword or something like that
Edit: the creature is CALLED Wyleth, Soul of Steel and the equipment card is Blazing Sunsteel and you can see his left arm holding the sword
Wow!
It's more of a pun than an easter egg, but I've always remembered Squee's Toy as one of my favorite card names/concepts.
I didn't get the pun until just now...
Sword of the meek also appear in tribute mage
the continuous land cycle from the eldrazi v zendikar duel decks
@5:05
I hate this card so much. "Hey, let's make Atog, but it's a Gremlin!"
They didn't even change the P/T...
At least you can run more atogs
You know through the breach isn’t showing the combo but story of her summoning emrakul to inistrad right?
That Jace looks REMARKABLE like Geno from Super mario RPG Legend of the seven stars.
10:24 that looks like Marisi, Breaker of the Coil and not Ajani. The hint is the beard
Marang river prowler, and Marang River Skeleton are the same person but depict different timelines of Tarkir.
