    What do you want to see in the next “Complete Story Explained”?
  • @ryancromer2110
    The more i learn about mtg lore, the more i realize its 75% a story of ugin, bolas and the phyrexia and 25% what everyone else is doing in between 😂😂
  • @Bullet_Harmony
    Somebody actually put it all in a single video. Holy shit. 30 years of cards in just a couple hours. You get a subscription my friend.
  • @teamf6920
    Underrated 9.5/10. Only thing that would make it better, would be to make it 3 hours lol
  • @Zerophimable
    I love these videos. Very much in the spirit of Vaatividya. No over acting. No insertion of too much personal opinion about the lore. Just a pretty accurate recounting of the events. You don’t get enough credit.
  • And then the Brotherhood crossed the wastelands to New Vegas where the 11th Doctor was waiting with Frodo to defend the Tardis from the T-60 clad forces supported by Souron and the forces of Mordor.
  • This has to be one of the best Magic summaries ever crafted. Detailed, well thought out, and very well paced, you've truly out done yourself.
  • @lucicred7763
    Had to prepare so i can have the 2.5 hours free needed yo watch this masterpiece uninterrupted, only to fall asleep after 20 minutes of hearing the voice.
  • @Sometuy11A
    The full story of magic? Wow! Thank you so much. This has to be the best gift I got all year.
  • @ac_nerd9794
    MTG lore is breathtaking. The amount of heroes, legends, and history is some of the best out there. If only we had a novel series.
  • @orfeo-7_
    Wow. The commitment to do this is beyond awesome! Thank you.
  • @piratecpnjack
    Sweet merciful Buddha! A Lorebrarians video to help my work day pass? Hells yeah
  • @TrippyScarecrow
    Thank you so much! This is awesome I've flirted with playing MTG since 2016, but didn't fully dive into the hobby until late last year. But I've found that the more I play, and the more I collect, the more I'm like "what's going on in this illustration? Wonder what this flavor text is talking about." I'm glad there's finally a comprehensive, thorough video breaking down the full story
  • @SquirrelKami
    An incredible effort to archive all this information well done!
  • @YouTub3Usernam3
    Amazing job summarizing this wide sweeping story! Loved listening to it, even if all I recognized occurred after the 7th Epoch
  • That was a wonderful journey and I'm sure a lot of both work and passion on your side and I really thank you for all of this. Cheers!
  • Ive been secretly lurking your channel awaiting another lore update...but this definitely does it!
  • @Flyboy245
    This is phenomenal. Seeing all of magic history and lore concentrated in one place, honestly not in a way that has been done before. I’ll be sure to point this out to people who have questions about the magic story. Incredible job being able to condense 30 years of overworld storytelling, and millennia of in game narrative into one place. The research as always is spectacular.
  • @Hyacsho
    Well that was excellent. I personally loved the complex old stories and lore, and the original Ravnica narrative.
