I hate how bad they messed up The ending of the phyrexians. Glistening oil Does not need a signal to thrive. If that were the case then the oil on karn would have died off when Old phyrexia Was destroyed And none of this would have happened. In reality all the other planes should Infected Just like mirrodin was And they should have to try and cleanse The land

@Huyle18 4 ай бұрын

Yes they had forgot about their own lore. They forgot just what drop of oil can do IE memnark. That is what suppose to make phrexian oil so dangerous. As long as one drop is around phyrexia can come back fully.

The worst thing about this story is that we lost Melira just so we could have Ajani and Nissa(which was totally dumb idea)return, it would be better if Karn gave up his spark to her so she could go around planes trying to cure whatever stayed after phyrexians and here we have catman and hippie(who made released eldrazi and doomed peple of Zendikar to be tormented by roil and killed many rebels) saved. I just hope that the things that they did while being compleated won't be just forgot by others("ah you were controlled nothing happened") and also remember by them and never felt the same(especially because of Jaya.

Awesome video thanks so much for sharing the lore in this way. Loved this arch for Elspeth, her having to choose where to go and not being able to go to New Capenna or Theros was heart breaking but epic. Looking forward to seeing what Aftermarth will bring. So are all the praetors dead now? I wasn't sure exactly what happened to Vorinclex? Maybe I missed that or perhaps its ambiguous?

I cannot express how happy I was to be right. For months, amid detractors and and phyrexian sympathizers I said that Ajani would live and be cured. While I was wrong in guessing the means by which he would be saved, I literally cheered when he was restored and celebrated with my friends. I cannot wait to see what they do with him from Aftermath and onward. Thank you so much for these fantastic recaps! I look forward enjoying more stories with you in the future.

They could've skipped the Eyeless story on the first New Capenna, the story for Innistrad, the one for Eldraine. These stories were pointless dead ends and meaningless, easily replaced. Eldraine could've been on the royal family, Innistrad could've been Thalia or Sorin, Capenna could've been Theros. We didn't need two visits to the New Capenna story, only the second one had any purpose I also don't like they came back to Chandra x Nissa after they trashed it and started with Adeline. Chandra's a two timer

Being honest, I preferred the chaotic nature of Phyrexia. Norn and her whole unity thing just don't do it for me. Always found her to be the least interesting of the five New Phyrexian leaders. Jin Gitaxius and Urubrask are my favourite, probably, as they kind of carry Yawgmoths insidious creativity and brilliance

I been here since you start the lore. And I have to say man you have talent and I really hear and feel the luv you have for the lore of mtg... I also like the story's. But I am kinda disappointed with the ending of march of machines Elspeth kill elesh norn by making her angry. Elseh norn went from being a devotion and well around characters of believes with perfection. And now a tynnat full with rage out of the blue... just saying the end could have been better ..

@icholi88 Жыл бұрын

Im more upset that they completely forgot how Glistening Oil works... Elspeth should have let Jace use the Sylex. Phyrexia is the oil, not the otherway around and if it evolved to no longer need Yawgmoth there is no reason it should need Norn. Its the Folgers Coffee of infections: good to the last drop and those planes are dripping in it now.

Fear was why she acted that way. She didn't turn angry out the blue. Elspeth is everything she feared. Elseh Norn was afraid of how much she identified with a fleshling so for Elspeth to be dealt with and come back even stronger and on top of that transformed into something not of her original design, pissed off Norn and fear kicked in. Fear makes ppl do irrational things and the point of fear doing that to Elesh Norn was to show that no matter how perfect, even Phyrexians can feel emotions.

Can't believe this is how it ends. I've waited half my life for this conclusion and it felt so small, so rushed. Very disappointing. Still not happy with WotCs continual march for woke-ism. This was supposed to be about the multi-verse, about finally dealing with the Phyrexians and all the main story played second fiddle to Chandra x Nissa? Really that's how it ends being covered up behind Chandra finally kissing Nissa? Just feels so... cheap.
