What do you think of the series and which cards make your list as flavor finalists?

@lucassmith7770 2 жыл бұрын

I started off hating this set. I thought it was going to be a cash grab. When Tovolar was revealed, I fell in love instantly. Not only is it a fantastic tribal commander, but I enjoyed its flavor. He gives favor to all wolves and werewolves, while ensuring it is night given enough strength. The perfect game is his ultimate goal, where night reigns eternal and savage nature is supreme.

I really enjoyed this video and i am excited for more in the series! The art and flavor text of cards are often overlooked, but one of the most endearing parts of magic. Its nice to see it get some love and help tie the story together. As for my favorite flavor card i like unruly mob since it is one of the few cards that mention the events of shadows and eldritch moon, as well as fun card to play

Thanks for the video and great work! Crossroad Candleguide makes my list. The flavor text states "Do the candleguides' heads turn to follow you as you pass, or is it merely a trick of the flickering light". In each of the new allied slow lands within the set, you can see the candle guide pointing the path which is a really neat addition to the flavor text of the card.

Dudes. I watch an embarrassing amount of MTG lore and I haven't seen another style if video like this that focus on the flavor and "Easter eggs" in the cards. This is so dope. I really hope you continue this type of video for more sets. I'm sure it beyond time consuming.... but it's so so good

What a great theory regarding Liesa; one of the best explanations as to why she may be back. That whole Liesa segment can lead to a great story whenever we visit Innistrad again. Angels siding with humans versus Angels siding with Demons.

I'm really enjoying the flavor this set, but I also find it odd that Eldrazi are hardly ever mentioned. Is it possible Emarkul is using its influence to affect people's memories?

@lucassmith7770 2 жыл бұрын

I would believe it is either Emrakul influencing things or on purpose from the viewpoint of the humans. The lore states that they call it the Travails in order to distance themselves from it. Putting a name to that time so that they don’t have to go into detail, simply saying it was a part pf the Travails and moving on.

@@TheLorebrarians Hmm trying to reply you now and having the same problem it seems to be the MTG article link for the legends in the set for some reason. (breaking this up though in case I'm wrong) Basically it suggests that you might be correct about Liesa but also gives the theory that angels also being creatures of mana can reform, which gives some interesting implications if true and Ormendahl is apparently working for Emerukal.
