If ONE more person makes fun of this thumbnail. SMH. But for real I won’t do anything but thank you for the critic and laugh along with you. ❤

I can picture it now: Teferi: “Ah so that’s how you activated the Sylex. I must return to my proper timeline, farewell Urza” *Urza causally walks back with him to the future Teferi: MOTHERF**K**!

Last times someone travelled back in time in MTG, a smuck dragon fan saved a dragon and a smuck golem saved his friend and made aware to the Phyrexians they had time travel tech. And if we talk about Teferi... it either ends with good results like the mending or disastrous results like Zhafir Isle.

“Before Teferi messed it up.” Sounds about right. 😂

I can only imagine how pissed Karn would be if he finds out that Teferi messed with time (again)

I think it should be "Before Teferi MIGHT SOMEHOW mess it up" Can't wait to revisit this part of history...

I cant wait to find out how, if at all, Teferi's spark is affected by traveling to before the Mending.

This takes me back to 1999 when I got my first chunk of second hand mtg cards, among them being fourth edition prints of Mishra’s War Machine and Yotian Soldier. Thanks for adding all those Legends cards as visuals, job well done!

Though I became a Vorthos long after started to play Magic the Gathering, this story is the one I cherish the most. Even if brief, you covered all the important points in this video. I hope the story remains unchanged, as Teferi time travel is only to discover how to use the sylex, but I can imagine him trying to restore the Zhalfir lands that are still phased out. The thing is, the events of brother's war happened centuries before him being born, could he leave clues to his past self? I assume this time travel can't be done easily so I think he'll only be able to visit the period of time where the brother's takes place. Great work and thanks 👍🏼

Oh yeah Brothers war, still one of the best Mtg stories to date, though I would say the entire adventure of Gerard was pretty epic as wel.. Specially the whole part where Gerard had to fight Urza, due to Yawgmoth controlling them.. The old stories of MtG where legendary imo.. And that was no pun intended.. Another one of my favourites was Kamigawa, the story about Toshiro Umezawa pretty much.. :D

It’s always a good time when you release a video. Taking off my mind while waiting till my son gets out of surgery.

I love that this war was just a series of misunderstandings that escalated so quickly.

This was before my time at magic and I didn't know much about the lore involved back then. Really like this and your channel to keep me updated on the lore and experience the new releases with a lot more background to them.

I really enjoyed this video. It's so nice to have some of that older and often more complex lore to be explained clearly! Thanks, Seiben!

They finally done it, they've come for the brothers War just like Star Trek and Star Wars and so many others.

My wonderful fellow vorthos!!! What a pleasant surprise! Thank you love the brother's war...

The rift between the brothers was so great, even the mending couldn't fix it

nice thank you aether. I been learning alot about the lore of mtg. so yeah this is awesome

Really great vid! Thanks

I’m more so curious as to the effects that being in the past has on tefiri. As he is a pre-mending planeswalker, what will happen with him traveling back in time. Will he be unchanged, or will his spark re-attain its pre-mending power? The only other planeswalker to have traveled to the pre-mending era was sarkhan who was born after the mending so his spark was probably still subjected to the same rules.

Casual mtg player here. Never knew a good way to start on the lore. Got your video. Seems the best way lol

That was a great story. Well told

Great video!

The JEff Grubb book on the Brothers War is still by far my fave of all Magic the GAthering novels. A close second (other than the subsequent books in that cycle) would be the Thran by J. Robert King...

Love your videos my dude

Thank you so much!

Urza is still the most complex and fascinating character that Magic ever came up with. Someone who was always more interested in machines than fellow human beings, became much more than any human could ever hope to become, was forced to save humanity against machines and the machine god himself, Yawgmoth and was both: A seemingly unfeeling an uncaring utalitarian *and* someone constantly haunted by all of the terrible choices and sacrifices he had to make to defeat Phyrexia. Urza essentially was an antihero protagonist without any of the teenage edge and angst and simultaniously the least and most human character ever in the Magic universe. Truely masterfully written. I would love for him to still be alive and coming back into the story proper (which is very possible because the Urza that died could have very easily been a clone and Urza always planned 50 steps ahead with contingencies within contingencies), but I'm afraid how they might ruin his utalitarian philosophy.

Awesome story

I don't think I know any if the channel members but I read the whole list. Smol price to pay for more quality Seiben Lore~

Oh man thus is going to be dope

This was the newest set that was out when I started playing. I’m in love with it. Me and my buddy both went to our locals and somehow he picked Urza and I picked Mishra.. Now we’re at the point where we both have the meld cards now.. it’s an awesome rivalry dude

Thanks for the summary! You'll make a Vorthos out of this Spike if you keep going like that!

Return to us Yawgmoth, ignited. Give us our meatsac Planeswalker finally. They dropped the ball on Mishra not melding into a walker but I feel that confirms Yawg return. I want it. You want it. Dominaria wants it. Most importantly, Phyrexia demands it.

Lord have mercy on the timeline, teferis bout to mess it all up

Excellent video. I hope what Teferi finds helps reverse the compleated planeswalkers and ends Phyrexia.

5:50 it is a bit wrong here. The Might Stone granted Urza knowledge about machinery while Mishra received vision of how to assimilate metal into biological organism ( cyborga in sense).

just discovered your channel... fuck yeah you're awesome

Considering what we know (and by that I mean cards) we can venture a guess that at least until the last fight in Argoth the story will more or less be the same. Maybe a few details will change, but we know that Urza and Mishra will fight on the Island and shit will hit the fan. How it ends, however, we have yet to see. I don't think any thing of relevance will change though.

Nice. "Complete" history

So is the dominaria remastered set going to have cards from any set as long as those cards are connected to dominaria in some way? Like would that include the Urza card from Modern Horizons?

I wonder how Teferi traveling to a pre mending timeline will affect his powers? Would he experience the abilities of a pre mending walker? Or will he stay the same because of when his spark ignited?

The next set from this timeline should include Serra's Realm so expect many mono white decks!

This might be a little unrelated, but I'm quite curious how the brotherhood of gix came to be.

I like how Urza, an objective asshole, is only a hero because his enemy is fucking Yawgmoth

Lacking the legendary subtype

I read the novel in my teens. Thank you for the trip down memory lane!! #vorthos4evs

When looking at Hajar, Loyal Bodyguard. Could it be that Mishra survived the blast, faked his death, replaced him missing parts with metal, and now walks around under the name... Tezzeret :O

The Mightstone and the Weakstone the 2 halves of Great Thran Artificer Glacian personality trapped within the stone.

Whats the next video im supossed to watch in chron. Order?

Great stuff, as always (although I think Yotia is pronounced “YO-sha”).

Would Sarkhan’s time travel had something to do with the timeline.

Definitely the first time I've ever heard Tocasia pronounced that way

AR Arguvian Reckoning 2:12

The first of its kind...? Dragons of Tarkir and Karn just shed a tear 😏 Best be ready for Teferi's record to catch up to him and he once again screws things up 🙄

7:00 enter the Phyrexian Backtrack

I couldn't help myself from saying, "Um, actually..." a bunch of times throughout this video.

I read the books as kid. sadly never knew and never played the card game. But these books were one of the best fantasy novels i read. Only Drizzt's saga tops it!!

Where is the art from @ 14:50 ?

didnt sarkn vol do the same thing with Ugin?

Yes

YES! I DID IT!

I'm still curious on how this is going to work. Teferri is now a post-mending planeswalker, going back to a time long before the Mending.

So the event that kicked off the Brother's War was just Urza's Father in Law getting a little war hungry

just listoned to this book here on youtube look up audiobook of the brothers war

The Brothers War is, conceptually, some Song of Ice and Fire level shit. Imagine an HBO series based on it.

I don’t subscribe to the multiverse theory of time travel. So anything that Teferi does in this set, he already did. So at must we might see how. Help nudge interactions between people to occur in a way correct to the way our history played out. He’s not going back to change things like Sarkhan did, only to observe.

There's debate about whether the Spark of Urza was his own. The Might/Weakstone were halves of the powerstone imbeded in Glacien by Yawgmoth. Glacian was known to have an unignited spark which is why Dyfed expressed so much interest in him. Many people, myself included, believe that the Spark that Glacien carried was absorbed in the powerstone and that is what granted Urza his new found power of Planeswalking.

Anybody else excited about Brothe Swap?

i just realized, it is kind of funny how the title of this video could be the brothers war (pre-brothers war), be totally accurate, and yet not explain anything with the title.

The BROTHE SWAP!!!

If the writers are smart, they won't mess with the timeline. However, I do expect Teferi to learn about some lost knowledge or secret.

Basically: The chad introvert Urza vs the virgin extrovert Mishra

The bro the swar

The Brothel Swab?

I guess I’m behind, but when did Teferi learn time travel? He never exhibited anything near that power level even when he was an old Walker …

I think Teferi will intruduce Phyrexia to Dominaria. Corrupting it and himself. Kicking off a truly horrific future where even Bolas will kiss this Plane goodbye. Unless ... ah well we shall see.

Thumbnail looks like The Brother Swap lol

I’m more concerned of the possibility that someone will ride Teferi Back. Also, what if this event was anticipated by Urza?! He did Sac all of TOLARIA for Teferi and his best friend after all….

BROTHE SWAB

Imagine if Harvin were to become a planeswalker if he were to be Urza's son, or a phyrexian sleeper agent if he were the son of Mishra?

This story has huge dune vibes

A lot of people blame mishra and urza as if they solely were at war, but they fail to take into consideration that the cities that supported the brothers also wanted conquest of their neighbors. “And then one day for no reason at all, people voted mishra into power.”

Brother Swap

Alrighty that's cool and all, now tell me what Optimus Prime has to do with all this

How old were the brothers at the end of the war?

Why did urza not give his spark to seal his plane?

Mishra.... More like BISHRA!

imagine fighting your sibling for a rock that does the opposite of the thing your rock does? pfft

Mishra was our true hero, until he was pushed too far.

I hope he doesn't arrive physically in the past bust as a formless, dispersed force whose entire purpose is to observe and learn as much as he can. Let the past be the past and the dead remain dead. Those events really shouldn't be messed with.

MORE MARIT LAGE. Marit Lage… MARIT LAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Why is there transformers tho ?

Brothel swap? Anyone else see that? Lol

Teferi become compleated

Brothe swap? What's that? Lol!

Sooo basically Urza is MTGs version of Thanos gathering stones for power, absorbing them then becoming a planeswalker in the process? interesting lol

Me trying to read the thumbnail: "what the hell is a 'brothel swap' and why is it allowed on KZfaq?"

I think its cool that Teferi went back in time to rewrite history. That's symbolic of the times. White history as is has to be rewritten and revised to suit modern woke, "diverse", times. It's 100% accurate to wokeness. Seethe

Every other sentence he enunciated way too much. Dramatic like if he's telling us news. Just chill and talk normally

Before WotC Messed it Up*
