great video! also, there is a great description about Ravnica vampires, in Child of Night flavour text: "No guilds-that is her rule. The House [Dimir] vampires unnerve her. The [Simic] Combine would dissect her, the [Boros] Legion burn her, the [Selesnia] Conclave “cure” her. The shadows are all the family she needs."

The color used in the art makes me wishful that he'll be in Grixis colors. Do you think they will go tribal or just powerful with him? I imagine he'll retain some sort of +1/+1 counter ability.

It would be cool if he protected all your vampires since the original card used to regenerate other vampires. I'd like to just see a powerful card that helps reduce some of the weaknesses in tribal vampires. I think its always going to be difficult for the baron to replace Edgar Markov as a tribal commander since eminence gets so much value for free. Instead, i feel like the Baron should help reduce the weaknesses in an Edgar Markov type deck. One of the big issues with the aggressive Edgar token spam strategy is dealing with board wipes from opponents, so if the Baron can be a powerhouse that can grant protection/utility that would be nice. The baron has a solid role to play as a finisher in vampire tribal if they give him the right ability and protection. Having cards with hexproof/indestructible is super valuable so I'd like to see the Baron move towards that sort of ability where hes extremely difficult to remove or provides protection to other vampires. I think that would be a really nice addition to the 99 with Edgar still as the commander. In order for the Baron to replace Edgar, he would need some sort of strong eminence or superior utility/recursion. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with him. I just dont want them to give him a mediocre ability since hes been unplayable for decades and deserves an undeniably strong card. The barons old card as a high costed beater was unplayable, so they need to ensure that he does something significant instead of creating counters when attacking, that just doesn't cut it. Do you like the new art?

I couldn’t help but think about the fourth angel sister or at least the angel (Marcyz) and the use of her blood in the origin of the Innistrad planeswalkers with the demonic pact Edgar made with Shilgengar. So with that, AND my love for angels , Serra, and speculation of their state on multiple planes, I’m Voting angels for the next vid !

Great vid, i subscribed right away. There is a piece i was missing tho; Sorin also turns human into vampire's on other planes. To get a small following, information or sustenance. When he was looking for Ugin he did just that. He turned a few mardu warriors, you can see it on the card Sorin's Guide. Also when Sorin was turned bij Edgar his planeswalkers spark ignited and went on blood craze on other planes. He seeded a few planes with (Innistrad) vampirism.

@@TheLorebrarians thank you for your awesome lore dive video. It hyped me up to use the deck even more. I've been sitting on it for months because I have no one to play with. First build so she still has some editing to do, trying to get that perfect three colors readily available, and focuses on a lot of lifelink/sacrifice/proliferate/protection spells. My first batch of cards I bought I think I grabbed too many high mana vampires. Might get to use it tomorrow night though! Can't wait. Thank you again for your awesome videos and introducing me to magic lore outside of the games and flavor texts.

BTW, I don't know if there's an official phisiology study on Mirrodin's vampires, but I'm convinced that they actually "drink" through their claws... I know it sounds stupid, but hear me out for a second, ok? First of all it would not be the first time a "fictional fluid drinker" has this kind of phisiology, just think of the MotU villain Leech or the animated version of the 90s Spiderman cartoon of Morbius. With that said let's think on how more effective this is: lounging with your arm outstreched will project your weight to the front, adding momentum to your assault, diving with your hand will put your arms at risk, truly, but risking the head will be undoubtedly worse (lose an arm, you can still survive, lose your head... well... *Brutal Legends "DECAPITATION" audio clip insert*), to top it all having a suction organ as long as those claws will help greatly in srpassin the hard metal exterior of Mirrodin's natives while "normal" fangs would have a really hard time.

Hey Erick, I just found your channel and I really like what you are doing. If I could make a suggestion, I personally think it would be a good idea to add a slight bit of background music to your videos as just having your voice without background music is a little odd because it creates a void where there is no sound during your time between words and especially sentences. I just think it would make the videos a little more enjoyable to watch and listen to.
