    I first found MtG during first year of college which happened to be Theros block. I returned to follow the story during the pandemic which happened to align perfectly with Kaldheim. I absolutely adore the gods of the multiverse for this reason and more! Thanks for the video 😊
  • So glad your video included a shoutout to the old school Kamigawa Myojin! I built a mono-black deck around Night's Whisper back in the day... such fond memories! Thanks for the upload!
  • @aqtcnja8430
    Bit unfortunate this video came out before the release of Murders at Karlov Manner. The set has a new Ravnican god introduced in it.
  • I'm surprised that the Dominus of Phyrexia weren't mentioned, since they not only have the Indestructibility common to gods, but also seem to represent the nature of those in New Phyrexia and tower over the Praetors, as seen in Tekuthal's art
  • @FCFAraneta
    I’m DM-ing a D&D campaign and listened to this video for inspiration. Thank you so much for the content you create ✨
  • @RafaelAAMerlo
    If I may suggest a future topic for your next videos, would be about how to differentiate the creature types: Spirit, Specter, Shade, Wraith, Nightmare, Nightstalker, Horror, etc... And how the "afterlife" works for each of the multiverse planes =)
  • @isaaccordova9119
    It is a true blessing when we get these documentaries. Happy late new year!!
  • @Sometuy11A
    I've been binge-watching your MTG content, and I'm having a blast so far.
  • @ZergDragoon
    Blessed be those in search of knowledge, and further blessed be those that bring those that bring that knowledge to us. Praise upon thee, oh Learned Lorebrarian, praise be.
  • @midnightbard3935
    I absolutely love your narration and the use of music throughout this video, both create such a soothing atmosphere that's very fitting for the topic. You make these gods really feel mythical
  • My favorite god in Magic is Jorn. I started playing around Ice Age and he gave me the justification I needed to play a fully thematic Snow deck in Commander.
  • @warwulf1889
    I like to think that Bontu wanted to go with Nicol bolas's plans because being the Goddess of Ambition, she always believed there was always a bigger picture to her current purpose of training initiates for the coming of the God Pharoah. Seeing this, Bontu dreamed of the opportunity of becoming the God Pharoah's bride as surely they'd be able to provide someone as ambitious as her with strong children and together rule over the multiverse. However, when the truth became known, Bontu was horrified. All of her efforts had been for nothing, as Nicol Bolas never intended anything for her besides service through death. But after Lilliana freed her and the other zombie Gods from Nicol Bolas's control, she returned his betrayal with a nasty bite that could stagger even him.
