  • Why do I get the feeling that Nicol Bolas might crawl back out of the Prison Realm now that Realmbreaker has (potentially) breached it?
  • @ACrazedGaming
    I was so worried about thephyrexians but then march came out and the phyrexians got their shit rocked on so many planes
  • I would love to see the Xerex invasion just to watch the Phyrexians get mind fucked lol that one sounded great. Keep up the awesome lore brother its fire.
  • The content, as expected, is mind-blowing. Please provide us with future lore about the gods of Zendikar like Emeria. Thanks!
  • Was fun to see Segovia returning to at least one card, and Xerex looks amazing; hope they feature in future sets.
  • @Ash-qp2yw
    Hold on, how do we know Mercadia was the place Dyfed took the Halcyon elites? That was somethiing I missed completely -- I know the other settlements outside Mercadia city were brought by a dragon engine that Urza reprogrammed during the battle on argoth though. I also fully think that if the Mercadians remembered Volrath, they'd be happy to work with the new phyrexians
  • @RiotKurhein
    I'd like to see a return to Ulgrotha to see how they can differentiate the vampires there from Innistrad.
  • @D-Skotes
    We should have just released an army of Brushwaggs they wouldn't be able to do shit against those magnificent adorable little monsters.
  • @poenpotzu2865
    Who else thinks the Phyrexian will be back in 5 to 10 years?
  • @Flyboy245
    Love the lore, as always. Where do you find all of this information, especially on planes, like you said, that we know so little about?
  • @MrBiosh0ck
    Really enjoying these videos. I hope that phyrexia retuns in the future of mtg, it's gotta be one of the best stories out there and the art is amazing. This could be adapted to an anime series...
  • @tots_valeza
    would love to work on some of this planes someday hehehe, nice video~
  • I love the commentary using cards, quotes, and lore! However, I found it confusing and disorienting that art specifically tied to other planes was being shown during the discussions (e.g. Invasion of Eldraine's art being shown when discussing Pyrulea). These planes certainly have the barrier of having little art, but I kept having to rewind to make sure I wasn't getting the planes confused.
  • @cloudndh_91
    I'd like to know more about what you think of nicol bolas being made phyrexian? How could this affect the future.
  • @aguspavez9043
    Hey, there's a typo on the thumbnail. It's "Besieged"
  • 13:13 Hmm Karsus in D&D lore was a ultra power wizard that became a god of magic killing the previous goddess of magic so bad it destroyed "the weave" the material all magic is made from then turned to stone known as Karsus's folly maybe he's a dead god plane now?
  • @thanhavictus
    Each invasion of each plane could have been its own set to savor the flavor, but wizards ruined it by pulling anticlimactic subversion of expectations.
