So the Wanderer was first released after Elspeth died and there was a lot of speculation that The Wanderer just was Elspeth come back but unaware of who she was.

Yea and then they kiss :00

@@dragondeeznutts Gives whole new meaning to Heat of the Battle.

Thanks so much, slow but steady progress. Help spread the word!

Lol I read that wrong at first. I thought you said enrages his listeners!

Thank you, appreciate it and welcome to the channel!

(disclaimer: didn’t yet read the stories that followed “The Brothers War”, so no spoilerino is appreciated) Elspeth is truly a tragic character in the most fundamental meaning. She earns for a life of peace, tranquility, at a righteous place - Which is exactly why she keeps getting pulled into war torn places and ceaselessly ends up seeing herself at the heart of turmoil. That might sound counterintuitive, unless seen as what the Ancient Greek writers, ironically enough, refer as “a hero’s Tragic Flaw”. Elspeth desperate pursuit of peace, taken to it’s logical conclusion, meant that she would have to bring conflicts and wars to an end, specially when the aggression comes from wicked parties. So she fight. In the hopes that when the dust settles, perhaps she will get to live her pastoral idyllic life. Except that’s hardly the nature of war, specially in the Multiverse. In a way, to pull from the Greeks again, she is Sisyphean: She settles in a new plane, at the ready for fighting for peace; Only to, by the end of it, once again finding out that, while victorious in combat, she is once again irreparably tainted by it. Bolder rolls down to other side of the hill, she planeswalk again, and the process resumes. This is very much linked to things you mentioned; I personally see a lot of “Survivor’s Guilt” and plain “PTSD” - After all, who is more likely to take the stance of “the fighting comes first, than I can rest” then someone whose first years of life where spent utterly powerless, suffering at the mercy of an hyper-aggressive and overwhelming oppressive force? Going full “Parabellum” sounds like the most solid call from her standpoint. She is truly a highly underrated character. I think given the past decade of focus on “The Gatewatch” a lot of players who got into MTG during those years severely misrepresent her as “lesser Gideon”, which is ludicrous. Gideon was the lesser Elspeth. You think she wouldn’t jumped heads on to kick Eldrazi ass? Pfft, on a dime! There, I gave the uncalled hot take.

Tezzeret was Bolas' plant among the Phyrexians in order to keep tabs on potential threats to his own existence. He's also likely a sign that Bolas has developed some method of preventing Completion, otherwise the Phyrexians would have used the process on him. This is suggestive that at some point the Gatewatch will have no choice but to turn to Bolas for help, where he'll offer them assistance at a terrible cost (likely including his freedom).

@@PhailRaptor I'm talking in the actual dominaria united storyline. Also yes, Bolas did develop a form of innoculation against phyresis and vaccinated Tezzeret with it during the mirrodin/new phyrexia block

Thanks so much for the kind words and long support, I appreciate it!

Appreciate it, yes she has suffered immensely!

Thank you and welcome to the channel, glad you found it!

Glad you enjoy it!

Thank you and welcome to the channel! Appreciate the suggestions

Appreciate it!

I appreciate it and am so glad to hear you enjoy the videos!

@TheLorebrarians because of you innistrad is one of my favorite planes. It's good work.

I hope you enjoyed!

@@TheLorebrarians I did indeed. Very much so!

Love to hear it!

Thanks, and I appreciate the suggestion! Would love to cover him in a video

Appreciate it!

Of course glad you enjoyed! Yes, I was very disappointed in what happened with Beyond Death's story

We don't, unless you count Serra herself I suppose. If I remember correctly pure demons and angels cannot be planeswalkers. Even Ob nixulas was human once I'm pretty sure. Thus why the theory goes she's some kind of angel hybrid or demi angel or something.

@@Parmesan_Seeker Yup. I wondered if Serra was an angel - she may as well be one, but I'm pretty sure she was human. Yeh, Ob being a Demon/human planewalker, I figured an angel equilvant would be awesome.

@@auroram8511 yeah Serra is an interesting one. I'm pretty sure angels existed before her (could be wrong though), but she's definitely the most important figure in their history. Also; do we actually know where she went? She left her realm and I think that's it. Is she still alive?

@@Parmesan_Seeker I though she died? After her realm collapses she was on Dominaria I think... and the Church of Serra founded after her passing... please correct me if anyone knows! Yeah, I started playing MTG in Urza block. Serra was a big thing on lore back then!

Yes, I'm interested to see the path her future takes. I think an amgelic/divine origin could be a really cool avenue to pursue but we'll have to see

the ongoing theory is that she is a half-angel from new cappena[her supposed home plane], and that the glow is her angel powers/nature being shown, since giada also glowed and was basically also a angel, so we might see a elspeth angel planeswalker in either the next set, or march of the machine, with potentially either her 1v1 elesh norn, or teaming up with urabrask[depending on how the next set turns out, since we don't know how bad the initial invasion into new Phyrexia will go down] honestly would love to see different planeswalkers 1v1 against the other praetors, my biggest hope is for garruk to 1v1 Vorinclex for green supremacy

Lmfao .... Nice one ! ( WAah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ahh Ahhh Oh Ah Oh Ahgh ... lol sorry )

Appreciate the feedback, will definitely continue to tune presentation
