The Fall of New Phyrexia | Magic: The Gathering Lore

One thing I will say I LOVED about this story (no, still mad about my man Jace and Elspeth, somewhat), is that Urabrask leads a revolt against the other Phyrexians. He's all about compleation, but only if the organism chooses it. Who would have thought Red Mana's passion and individuality would be the biggest issue Elesh Norn would have to worry about?

I wish we got to see more of phyrexia before it was exiled. Hearing the terrifying hell scape was something cool that we haven’t really seen in magic

You can't possibly think this is the last we'll hear of the Phyrexians.

Since the planes are now connected by the omenpahts, wonder if we'll get a set that is about an academic competition between Tolaria and Strixhaven.

I won't comment on how rushed the story felt, but now we have 3 big bads in a "break in case of emergency" glass. Nicol Bolas in the meditation realm, Emrakul in the Moon of Innistrad, and now Phyrexia in the temporal void. Unless they bring planar menaces back in the limelight, like Baron Sengir, I guess only Tezzeret remains as a "bad actor".

Man... It's a good thing that cutting it off from its source renders glistening oil inert. Could you imagine if a brand new invasion could possibly start because of a few drops being added to a mana-filled plane without someone realizing it? ...hmm, something about that sounds familiar?

God that ending was so stupid. "Without Norn's control, and with its connection to New Phyrexia severed, the glistening oil's corruption halts. It's rendered harmlessly inert..." THAT'S NOT HOW GLISTENING OIL WORKS!

Love these Lore videos. I always listen to them when I go to bed. Helps my mind to relax and drift away

I think with Phyrexia phasing out of existence, it was like the threat made by Yawgmoth all those centuries, no thousands of years ago, was finally stopped and ended, with the glistening oil, the very first thing the twisted scientist used to make his mad visions a reality, made render inert by the failing of his successors, his dreams of completion and his obsession with perfection may finally be over. For the oil was first thing he corrupted and it also ironically the thing that finally ended his madness for good.

I wonder if the immortal sun has the capability to prevent the omenpaths connecting to the plane it resides in.

I'm really surprised they did not do a series of sets with the invasion taking place on the plane. Like it's that is happening simultaneously and you don't know the end result of any of them until they do the conclusion set.

Now... The one redeeming thing about all of this is that Phyrexia isnt gone... But many of the Planeswalkers are. Like we had Second Mending but Phyrexia was just Phased Out not destroyed. Cant wait yo discover that Phyrexia crashed into Ugin/Bolas's Meditation Plane and we get a Phyrexian Bolas.

kind of annoyed that the way they chose to turn the story around was just to go "hay you know that planes destroying bomb we found that would annihilate anyone caught in the blast? well it turns out the person who was at ground zero is actually still around and is now an angel!". sounds like they wrote themselves into a corner.

"New video from Lorebrarians" >clicked that watch button immediately

dont know it was somehow anticlimatic and deus ex machina how they finished this phyrexian arc, it would have nice to see something, like they beat new phyrexia, but with the return of yawgmoth in secret

19:48 Why did you show the invasion of New-Phyrexia as one of the initial invasions???🤔

Ashiok is about to make a HUGE comeback!! She’s putting ppl to sleep and I truly hope we get a reprint of Ashiok or another version of her!!

What do you think will happen to the Gods of Theros? Like do they get power from their worshippers? And if so, if the people of Theros want a God back, if enough of them hope strongly enough, can they bring a formerly-Phyrexianized-and-slain God back from the dead?

Yo, long time fan, love the channel bro 👍 just wanted to say, you're the only one that tells these stories in a way that keeps it interestin for me... The way wizards have been handling the lore the last few years...🤮 , so for you to find a way to make it sound compelling💯👍 super impressive

While underwhelming on the surface, some of the ending makes sense. Norn reprogramed the oil to only answer to her (cause she's that much of a control freak). Given that, it makes sense that her death would render anyone newly corrupted by it enert as well. However, those corrupted before the reprograming might not have been effected by her death in thebsame way, so the phyrexian threat might not be gone for good
