Mein Herz Brennt - Rammstein (Piano version)
The Two Seasons - Dan Bodan
#mtg #magicthegathering #eldraine
For anyone wondering, the "Nun liebe Kinder..." at 0:35 originated from a TV show in Germany where "the sandman" tells a story for children, before they would go to sleep. The Clip he used is from a Rammstein Song (Mein Herz brennt) though.
Oh, and also the piano version of the song plays in the background if i'm correct. The song is based on the sandman and other stories/nightmares of children so that fits SO WELL IT'S MIND BLOWINg. Also i like the melody a lot so I'm super biased about how happy i am with this video. Thank you Rhystic!
I was curious about why he used this rather than Sonne with the music video allusions to Snow White
The piano is from the Rammstein song too
Oh dude thanks so much i was like do all germans sound like rammstein lol
@@poolfuhrer this is much more fitting in my opinion
Little thing I noticed playing the set: you can see Hansel and Gretel being rescued in the art of Oakhame Ranger. They are the two humans the card's adventure creates.
I missed this detail: how cool!
So the (Curious Pair)'s (Trail of Crumbs) fails to guide them home. Starving, they find the (Gingerbread Cabin). After almost being put in the (Witch's Oven), they are rescued by (Oakhame Ranger). That's a fair few cards with elements of the same story.
@NapoEz3 During my last draft the Charming Prince rescued a clackbridge Troll that I trapped in a tower, kinda looks like weird shrek fanfiction... (I played Return of the wildspeaker in my deck, so I was actually pretty happy to get more goats)
That's the coolest easter egg I have ever heard
Rowan and Will, the two looking for their father in the card Unexplained Vision, feature in at LEAST two or three other cards in the set, including Huddle Up and The Royal Scions.
Does anyone feel like they just got a surprise gift every time a notification for a new video from this fine gentleman comes out?
4:10 "Oh! You clumsy oaf! That's a load-bearing candy cane!"
Well, looks like it's time to drop everything and watch another Rhystic Studies video.
I may just be one voice among the throng but I wanted to thank you for this and every video you make, the time and effort shines through and with each video my appreciation of art grows that much more. Thank you for all the research and insight you pour into every video, there is no channel on youtube I more look forward to new videos from than yours.
I think it's also interesting to mention that, at least from my experience, it's most often the mother who suggests throwing the kids out, and that the father is reluctant, and as you said too, remorseful afterwards. That's a bit of a trend in fairy tales I think: The good father and the (somewhat?) evil mother, even if not stepmother which takes that idea to an entire new level.
The sequel stuff to this plotline in Wilds of Eldrain makes this so much funnier than its supposed to be.
this video quality seems to improve with every new one put out, phenomenal
I just came back to magic and discovered your channel, it brings me a lot of nostalgia and a new mindset for the game.
Thanks, Keep up the good work!
This Video is "again" pure Art .
Thank you Sir for producing such beautiful Content.
"the woman, however, was dead." I wonder, could the mother be the witch?
big brain
Thank you for this video. I love everything you've created on this channel.
thank you. that means a lot to me.
This is interesting to me in so many ways. I don't play magic and never really have, but everything you make is simply fascinating and sprinkled with things I didn't know I wanted to learn about until I did.
"Food can be used to gain life"
Gyome: "I don't know about that..."
Life’s simple, Rhystic Studies posted I watch and have a good rest of the day
That ending plug to buy one of the mugs was so calming, I might just have to now
I was going to like the video, but I became an elk instead.
Elks have opinions too.
@@Magnivore519 but elk can no longer hit the like nomore
On the internet no one has to know if you are an elk.
I knew this was coming, but none the less, I enjoyed it. Very well done!
Great job story telling! I get so much joy from watching your vids! 🙂
Still one of the best channels ever.
I was very interested in the alt card art when opening packs for pre-release. Until then I had no idea there were any, then I got 5 Fairy Guidemothers. One of them a foil-alt art.
Your analysis of the card is basically why I got so interested in these alt art cards. They tell the story they’re based off very well while also helping drive the game’s mechanics.
Also I just love your card analysis videos. Might’ve recommended them to my university professor, and she may or may not be interested. Cheers.
What happens when people are hungry, starving, desperate for food?
Slow fade to merch
😆 dude that was so amazing. Can’t blame a guy for trying to make a sale when he’s that’s that self aware and humorous about it.
Got my mug today. Its great, thankyou
Something wonderful to thing of: The children in the card art do not have any real way to produce infinite food, there is only so much to steal from the witch’s house. The witch on the other hand could lure infinite children for food using said same house, much more reminiscent of the cards actual ability.
haha was not expecting Till Lindemann's voice Xd
I hope they paid you for this because it's a fantastic advertisement for throne of eldraine
I love throne. I know it was pushed, I know it was broken. I don’t care, I just love the set
This was excellent! Thanks from a german fan.
Kudos to this high quality content. I respect the work and effort you out into these timeless pieces of UA-cam history
Fucking amazing work, as usual.
What's that video of Hansel and Gretel playing in the background? That's the same girl as from the Magic training montage commercial, isn't it? Is that just a coincidence?
Here in 2020, the one that goes to the oven is the cat... over and over again
Maybe it was not a good idea to look so closely 8:09
That was beautiful, as always.
Last time I was this early, no one had used the word Elk in about a thousand years.
Wow, just wow.
grandios as always!!
Love this mans stuff always worth the wait
Outstanding video!!
great as always!
I’m reminded by all these tales that man is nothing more than an animal whose main goal is consumption and if lacking in food will be openly animalistic.
Awesome video thank you always loved your channel
You gotta laugh at this fricken German bards voice tho lmao
This is so good!
Amazing as always.
*_Nun, liebe Kinder, gebt fein acht._*
very interesting good stuff
Till Lindemann in the beginning :D
Need cat food? Just take the cat and stick it in the oven. Then feed it to the cat. Then stick in oven. Then feed to cat. Then...😂
Dope Outro
No, but I was told that the flavor in this set wasn't resonant...
Rammstein!!
“..when it is desperate, for food?”
Turn it into an elk.
"Fun" fact: Some scholars believe Hänsel & Gretel is about the mother cannibalizing her own children. When the witch dies, she as well just happens to disappear...
In any case, great video (as always)
Mikael Nippers I noticed that as Sam was talking about it tooooo
“It’s gingerbread, like mother makes” reads the card’s flavor text
I also had the theory that the mother and the witch were one and the same person. But I also thought at some point that god and Frau Holle are the same person as well.
It should also be noted that when he Grimm Bros. published the tales the Napoleonic Wars were reaching their climax. The Revolutionary Armies of France had been marched east across the kingdoms and principalities of Germany several times over the past two decades at this point and the armies if Austria, Prussia and Russia obliged by marching west across Germany. The countryside had been raided over and over and over again from 1795-1815 by hungry soldiers of every European power so it is not surprising that tales of hunger were popular; especially those where the villains receive their just reward. I can imagine many German kinder pictured Napoleon being pushed into the oven.
Note that in this story, it's also their stepmother that wants to take them into the woods and leave them to die, and their stepmother who vanishes when they kill the witch.
I feel confident liking this video before i've watched all of it
I did the exact same thing lol
More like any of it
true lol, first thing I do when I click on a Rhystic Studies video :P
haha jep. sam = autolike
Same
As a German I was getting annoyed at the title. UA-cam sometimes auto translates video titles into German. So. Here we go again I thought 😂
The video was wonderful thank you!
This. As a frog person, seeing english titles being translated to frog or frog titles to english seemingly at random is extremely annoying
@@goldcreeper7376 It's the same with swedish. But swedish is translated much less often than french or german, so the translations are worse. It annoyed me so much I turned it off as fast as I could.
@MLG Kaktus That would be fine it those videos had subtitles in those languages as well.
Is there any way I can turn this stupid auto-translate off? It's so sweet when an english-speaker uploads a video with a german title, but thanks to UA-cam I'm never sure if I can trust my eyes.
@MLG Kaktus It seems like there's no other solution.
I am thoroughly upset we haven't gotten a Garruk that makes food by killing an opponent's creature.
I had never looked that close at the alt art of curious pair. Fantastic video as usual
If you pay attention, the hand is also in the regular art.
This set in particular is good for looking a little deeper at the cards
Love the RAMMSTEIN piano cover. Amazing mood setter
La Li Lu Le Lo Major it isnt a cover. Rammstein released a piano version of the track themselves.
While I don't know how unique this theory is, I've always thought: what if the mother from the beginning was actually the witch? In a lot of interpretations she is simply gone, but many specify her as being dead. She was wanting food just like the witch, and itd be convenient to send those kids off into a trap that you made.
Incredible as always. Your storytelling is top-notch. Still can't thank you enough for letting me add a touch to an excellent audiovisual analysis.
The only must watch MTG UA-camr
12:01 “When the chips are down these civilized people, they’ll eat each other.”
Jude Mendoza “we live in a society”
You are elk now
Ah yes, the video you said made you cry on twitter. CANT WAIT!!
Yessss! Uploaded 42 seconds ago! Fresh content from Rhystic Studies!
How is starvation even real like just Oko +2 smh
He turns all the food into elks, though.
HavCola elk sounds like food to me
@@WhiteVanyo
1/1 human token
3/3 elk
Might help against starvation is in a "fewer mouths to feed" kind of way.
Why would you delete the Noah Bradley video..... That was your grand masterpiece in my opinion for one of the most iconic artists that have ever worked for Wizards... I don't think anybody would've blamed you for making a video about him back then. Such a shame we're never gonna be able to watch that video again...
Doing awful things means you get your legacy erased, it is justice, and hopefully people learn to not do such disgusting cruel shit
@@zacharysain8516 Well, I can't say I agree. Your legacy as a human or as a colleague might, and rightfully so, take a hit but your art doesn't magically disappear. And since this channel focuses on artists and their technique I was very saddened by the deletion of what was in my opinion his best video on one of my all-time favourite mtg artists.
Dude... Mein Herz Brennt set the atmosphere so well. This is my favorite video by far.
I was quite annoyed after reading the title, because I thought youtube decided to auto-translate it (like it regularly does, rarely ever does it end in actual decent german). After watching the first vew min. of the video I was quite releaved noticing it was the intended video title.
I don´t know why I had to tell you guys this, but hey.
pls remove auto translated titles youtube. thanks.
I opened a foil storybook Curious Pair at the ELD prerelease. I was immediately struck by the art.. absolutely gorgeous.
I'm glad you did a video on it. ^_^
A key thing to remember about average life expectancy is that it doesn't mean that everyone was dying at age 30 because it's just an average. So people if they made it out of childhood probably lived regular lives but seeing as how people were committing infanticide (aside from the usual high child and infant mortality rates associated with that time) that would drive the life expectancy down pretty low.
I feel like this one is one of the deepest topics yet. Great episode man! Keep it up!
My goodness, you blew me away with this video. Love knowing more historical context behind the fairytales we all grew up with and Throne's themes.
two Norwegians called Asbjørnsen & Moe did the same thing as the Grimm brothers.
they trecked all over Norway and gathered the oral stories and wrote them down. but they are probably a lot less known outside of Norway.
I got to study for a semester at Marburg! They say the brothers hated how many stairways they had to use to get around in the city.
Remember to tell us how accurate they were!
@@loganmavity2805 Sooo accurate ...I've been there a couple of times and I've got to say, it's a beautiful city but for some reasons it's spread across, what it feels like, a million hills :-D
@@loganmavity2805 they put in elevators so people can skip up to the upper city and the castle! It blew my plains-inhabitant mind
Saw Austin, TX on the mug, are you based here and do you plan on going to Magic Fest when its here in Jan?
Thank you once again for your vids. This really hit some aspects of our human experience we seldom dwell on...not so much what will be when we are, but what we are when we don't have.
This made me more sympathetic for the witch even if she is objectively evil, there's a tragic irony in being able to be surrounded by food and yet starving because the thing that makes you able to be surrounded by food also makes it so that it provides no sustinence to you. Somehow a crueler Tantalus.
Guess that's why you shouldn't make pacts with the devil and practice witchcraft, huh?
This essay hit me harder than I thought it would, especially the ending line of the piece at 12:00.
I had my first meeting with a good dietician today to get help with my restrictive eating disorder (possibly ARFID, meaning Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder; though I haven't received an official diagnosis yet,) and after some testing, I learned my body has run out of fats to burn, and so is instead breaking down lean muscle to keep me alive. I am, in effect, approaching starvation.
I'm starting my journey to repair my relationship with food. Watching this video, I was able to recognize how I internally recoiled from the assertion that food can be a source of pleasure (6:20 and briefly at 7:02). It made me uncomfortable to realize how much more familiar it was to see food contextualized as a source of pain (6:35) and betrayal (9:40), or the acceptance of hunger as a motive for evil deeds (7:36).
It's hard to face the truths I've been trying to ignore for years, the way I have denied my needs, and subsequently twisted myself around the idea that my abstinence of care was evidence of mastery over self.
It has been 7 months now. How are you doing? I hope you are ok.
@@ThorsShadow I'm actually doing pretty well! By working with my dietician, I've been able to recognize and work through a lot of the harmful thought patterns I've had around eating and food. I'm so much braver at trying new foods! I'm more aware of my hunger cues and I respond to them more consistently. I notice how my eating affects my energy levels, AND I have more things in my life wherein I want to do have the energy I need to do them.
I'm glad that I made the hard choice to ask for help. It was definitely uncomfortable to accept that I wasn't going to get better all on my own, but I'm so grateful to my past self for taking those first steps.
@@LoverOfMuch I've been going through a similar journey, wishing you all the best as a stranger passing you on that road
@@kaitlyn__L thank you for your well-wishes; I hope the same for you. I'm currently on day 51 of residential treatment for my ED. I'm so glad I accepted the necessity of this level of care for me. It's been crazy to see how people I'd never met before and could never repay would spend their time helping me meet my needs. I have time and space to work thru the trauma that led me to ED in the first place. Recovery is absolutely possible.
I thought this title was auto-translated by UA-cam. It does that sometimes. Turns out this time the german language is relevant to the video.
Anyone else wondering when the next video will be?
I am from Germany an grew up with all these Grimm storys, told and read to me by my grandmother from an old book with really scary pictures. From what i can remember, Hänsel and Gretel dont use pebbles but little pieces of bread. When they want to follow the track, the bread is eaten by animals so they cant find the way back. Adding even more meaning to the symbolic food theme.
Btw: amazing video as always, great storytelling!
Hansel uses pebbles the first time he and his sister are abandoned, and when the parents lead them out a second time into the woods, they give them one last piece of bread as a parting gift. Hansel tries again to leave a trail, this time with bread crumbs, but is sabotaged when the creatures of the wood eat them up.
After binging these content pieces of history, I find myself amazed on how it can be orchestrated and done. The presentation is very enjoyable, and reminds me of sports UA-cam Jon Bois with the subtle music playlist, the tone of voice narration, and the ability to extract interest of niche through metaphors, charts, and interviews
One: kids wasting food and pissing off mama. Two: kids get lost and hallucinating from starvation, come back home and think its a gingerbread and candy house. Three: mother tries to feed them what she can, but they think shes a witch and put her in the oven. Four: eventually the kids are found, well and having food for many days, but mom is nowhere in sight...o>O Lotts stories like this and others about eating or taking children or sacrifices of any age. Hell theres still tales of wild giants in some parts of the world where people do go missing. But its worse in our own national parks when thousands have been disappearing for over a century and the government literally goes out of their way to feign ignorance and get in peoples way of discovering the truth. Be well all.
Or maybe the "witch" was their grandmother, living far and away from people, and wanted to actually feed these lost children; even if she didnt know them for her own kin.
Thore of Eldraine was the P E R F E C T time for a Kindercatch reprint!
Sam, if possible, do you think you could make a video on Progenitus? It’s my favorite card because flavor-wise, I think they did a really good job with it. Progenitus is essentially a hydra deity, and I think both the mana cost and its protection suits it very well.
As a german, I must say, this is the most singularly sublime piece you have ever done. Absolutely fantastic.
Holy Shit, this video hit me out of nowhere. Great Job!
BRAVO! well done. no mugs for germans though :(
Your videos move me. Thank you so much for your time and effort in expressing love for this game in a way that only exists in the deepest, most incomprehensible, and inexpressible parts of my mind.
Love me some oko ramp
Jk ban oko
Instant click every time I see one of your videos on my feed!
All of your videos are so engaging, no matter if they're about magic or art or anything between. Keep it up:)
I’d be VERY wary of ever mentioning danger of any kind in halloween candy. The one actual, real, proven example of it was a father putting items in his own children’s candy. Besides that, nothing like that has ever actually happened to my knowledge.
AustinMconnell sent me
No more food in germany, that’s got to be Oko again, transforming the food in elks!
Okay....starting with Till Lindemann and Rammstein's Mein Herz Brennt is a REALLY strong start
Just binge watched all of his videos. Can't wait to see more studies on cards like what he did with the lotus or seige rhino
Dude please make a video about vizzerdrix! Magic's most foolish card
It's astounding how foolish vizzerdrix is
Love your content, please make a comeback at least monthly.
Great video!!!! Makes me want to relearn my German!!!
Where is your latest stuff? its been so long :(
