Even though I'm not as big of a fan of the whole 'Gangster Mob' aesthetic, I do like how MTG can cover all sorts of genres to the point where fans with different tastes, new and old, can find something that will eventually draw them back

I didn't know the story of New Capenna so thank you. I was getting some Amohket and Ravnica vibes. Since on Amohket all the denizens lived in one enclosure because of some world ending threat that happened in the distant past and obviously Ravnica being one massive city. Though while it is interesting that this plane fits in with an overarching story in the Multiverse with the throughline being Phyrexians, I kind of wish it was completely separate from any other storyline. The Gatewatch and their story dominated multiple sets with the Eldrazi and Nicol Bolas being two separate threats they helped defeat and now Phyrexians are back and will seemingly be the next big bad to bring down. I do love Phyrexians and I'm happy to see more of them but I wonder who or what will be the next existential threat to the multiverse. Slivers maybe? Corporate greed? Who knows!

This has instantly become one of my favorite planes. I hope we come back to it in the future as well.

@TheLorebrarians 2 жыл бұрын

I think it'd be really cool to see an Old Capenna before/as phyrexia invaded. Or maybe focus on the nomads surviving beyond the borders of the new city. Or even the return of the angels. The plane has a lot of potential

@lomirwintersturm2311 10 ай бұрын

Exactly! Capenna is much much bigger and a lot has to be discovered in a future visit of this plane. That would be very cool, because it would be very interesting to see old capenna or something else of the plane. There‘s a lot of potential, as you say! I hope, we will return to Capenna one day!

A large amount of the imagery is based off of the 1920's-1930's "Art Deco" movement (*especially in regards to the Alt Art Land's*). Note that 90-99 percent of the Creature art has them dressed in the same type of era clothing (*flowing dresses, Flapper outfits, Zoot suits, three-piece suit & ties, basically anything you'd see old Gangster movies*), it's a VERY nice touch and Easter Egg...

Another amazing video, I love this channel! I would choose the Maestros because I like Xander. But, in reality, I love the whole set, the Art Deco style is great. This set (and NEO) finally made me return to paper Magic after years. I was getting bored of another flavor of magical fantasy setting but this last 2 sets have been a breath of fresh air, I hope we get to see more of this techno-magic settings in future sets!

@TheLorebrarians 2 жыл бұрын

Appreciate it! And yes, I think this set really encapsulated a unique design and feel quite well. I personally like the high fantasy settings, but sets like capenna and neo add creative spice that keeps things interesting. And I'm a riveteer through and through

@Nouxatar 2 жыл бұрын

Really glad to hear someone else understands the fatigue with purely magical fantasy setting after purely magical fantasy setting 😅 my favorite settings are the ones that aren't just another flavor of that. Only got into magic a few years ago but it's been especially fun lately, especially with the lore (now that it's getting good again, it seems)

I'm mainly Riveteer, second Maestros. Riveteer speak to me from a personal level as I am a worker who got screwed over MANY times. Somehow I wished I was part of a group that I could simply say "Yo, boys. That dude didn't payed me for my job and is now trying to legally defend that it was his own work all along...

As a Star Wars fan and Italian, I was immediately intrigued by the environment and the names of this set. Getting into the mechanics I like it even more. Building a Brokers themed deck now with 2x of Kasmina, Teferi and Tamyo. It runs smoothly, the enchantment that gives both +1 +1 and loyalty counters to the whole board is just great, and Falco Spara is really on spot with his effects. Behold the multiverse for draw. Negate, see it coming and quandrix commando to counter and control. The 2/1 double strike beaters with the shield counter gives the opponent pressure as they grow the body with the counters. It’s weak against fast decks, but it shines against midrange and control decks.

I haven't quite warmed up to this set yet. Seems too modern for me and less magic, especially coming straight after another modern tech set. But I'll give it some time. Wondering if you have considered a video about Elspeth. Looks like she'll be central to the upcoming story. A history of her like your Liliana video would be grand!

Great video. - personally i dislike the set´s flavour and asthetics. it is one more in a year of magic focused on a few elements i dislike in the game, namely artifacts. - new capena and this video shows there is limited space to explore within mtg´s colour pie and city scenarios. sure you have a focus on verticality but it isnt like Ravnica doesnt have that. just look at the art. having 5 ruling houses also is a wrong choice. with a mechanic focused on citizens and modern flavour why not have the city/nation be a democracy with a single government? ooverall the similarities with Ravnica and other planes are too much beyond confortable.
