@bradsimpson8724 2 жыл бұрын

Innistrad has been my favourite plane lore-wise since it was first introduced, and a large part of that ties back to the angels versus demons element. I have built hundreds of commander decks and will probably build hundreds more, but I will always have an angel deck and a demon deck.

Wowie, so much research and care must go into these videos. I STAND IN AWE of the knowledge ! To the Lorebrarians, please know that you work is very much appreciated! :-) I have been playing MTG sine the beginning, I was a comic/card/collectibles dealer on the East Coast back in the day and a professional appraiser / grader . Of all the things that have come n gone, MTG has endured and is greatly loved;and you guys do it justice. Thank You so much ! Please keep up the great work :-)

After the dragons and angels the only iconic creature types left is hydras and sphinxes, but both of them underrepresented in the lore of MtG. Still little salty when I read that dragons will be headmasters at stixhaven, the ONE place where sphinxes are practicly made for

@yaboimerc7820 Жыл бұрын

You make a very fair point. But can I offer the counterpoint that Sphinxes may not wanna share their knowledge? Thus a school simply wouldn't be up their alley, yanno?

This is a WONDERFUL story. The way you present it, it is as if these cards were unearthed at a Demonic Ritual Site, and their capricious writings capture a story of divinity, but only for those who have some sort of esoteric reverence. I'm not kidding! I played Magic Cards when I was young, and if you had told me then that the little writings on each card told a story of fantasy-history when combined with the image on the card and even its function(!), I would have told you that was literally impossible, and if it were true then the cards are true as well. :X-Files Theme:

I always thought that Xathrid was the "black mana" region of Shandalar, like Evos Isle is the "blue mana" region, Thune is the "white mana" region, Kalonia is the "green mana" region, and Valkas is the "red mana" region.

@AibaunaGuara Жыл бұрын

For some reason the years of DnD and Pathfinder make me unable to see demons as mainly black instead of equal parts red and black. Also, the devils being mostly red (especially with the smaller fiends of Innistrad) makes me even more uncomfortable to use the arts or run campaigns in the MtG planes.
