Niv-Mizzet: why do I hear boss music? Nicol Bolas: why do 'I' hear boss music?

Nichol:"I thought you died!" Niv:"Yes, but I got Better!"

I love Niv-Mizzet the lizard wizard, my favorite recent card is Niv-Mizzet parum

Niv-Mizzet indeed is so close to being another Bolas, even having most of Bolas' colors in his base form, however I don't expect him to become a new threat but as a more direct counterpart to Bolas. While Bolas lost everything in pursuit of power to satisfy his own ego, Niv rose to power after embracing the complex care he has for Ravinca as a whole. I also do think Niv's opinion of planeswalkers will continue to sour overtime as his reign as living guildpact and Jace's reign are compared and contrasted, maybe even to the point of forsakeing becoming a planeswalker out of pride, as unlike Jace, he will actually be there for Ravinca. Of course I might be focusing on his red side over his blue side too much.

Props to Niv for being the only monster in dnd to have a 30 int.

As an official Izzet League representation, this video is the greatest piece of content created in the Multiverse. Excellent job!

I think I was recommended this channel a month ago and I've watched you blow up since then. Just wanted to congratulate you before the comments are full.

niv is by far my fave character in magic his whole story is so deep and converluted and it just adds up just like a red/blue alined person should and I never get tired of hearing about him. Hopefully one day he returns as a planeswalker maybe in the next ravnica

Thank you for this! Niv-Mizzet is my favorite MTG character, and you have produced a video worthy of the Firemind! A true "Elder" Dragon! "Don't just have an idea - have all of them." "(Z->)90° - (E-N²W)90°t=1"

I would like to think that Niv would try to be a good guardian of Ravnica. I would also love to see a longer video specifically about Ugin. There is not a lot of lore videos out there for him that is current. Or at least I cannot find them. Great Video!

I like that a planebound being is able to do something important for a change.

Here from Reddit. Very cool video! I just finished running a Ravnica DnD campaign and Niv was a featured NPC. I had a lot of fun playing as him. Anyhoo. I'm subbing, thanks for sharing your content!

He's the reason i gathered Ravinca Cards in the first place.. his guild furthermore dragged me into Ravinca as i love the way the Izzet Guild would act and work .. adding the fact that he would help defeating Bolas is also a BIG thing for me and cemented my alignment to the Izzet Guild even more ^^ I love Red and Blue Mana Spells, i like crazy idears and wild experiments conducted to find the best ways to serve the city in it's defence ... I'm a proud Mage of the Izzet Guild! ^^

10 out of 10, would watch all videos in the channel

These videos are So. Good. I've always loved MTG lore and these videos make me realize how MTG is a living, breathing, incredible multiverse. Completely new understanding and appreciation for The Firemind. THANK YOU!!

Dang that was amazing, i recently build a niv mizzet parun deck. and this makes it much more fun to play it, this is amazing lore

Another incredibly well done video! I don't even really play MTG, but this kind of storytelling is so engaging.

Seriously, it's awesome that you take the time to create a video nearly an hour long, sharing the lore of MTG. Thank you.

I love these videos so much. They have a sense of depth without being cringey and really have helped me expand my knowledge of Magic lore a lot. Also, Niv-Mizzet, Parun is an old favorite Commander of mine. Big shouts to the big boi.

Really well written and spoken script and story. Thank you!!!!!

Happy to see Niv get his own video after seeing him in the Bolas one, I hope they make more cards featuring the reborn living guildpact

Bolas and Niv are my favorite characters, so the videos on them have been fantastic!!

I can tell that you had a lot of fun making this video for Niv-Mizzet. You told the story perfectly and did a fantastic job at showing us all just how amazing of a character Niv-Mizzet is. Though I haven’t watched all of your videos I believe this one will always be my favorite for telling the story of one of the most important characters in MTG history. Thank you for making this amazing video for Niv-Mizzet and I hope maybe one day you can tell us the amazing story of the planeswalker Tezzeret and the mighty Jaya Ballard. But this isn’t about them. It’s about the mighty and heroic Niv-Mizzet. Thanks again for telling the story for the possibly the greatest Dragon in all of MTG history.

Niv Reborn is one of my commanders and he's AWESOME! It's a blink deck, often blinking him for 2-4 cards each turn :o

If Niv Mizzet becomes a Planeswalker and stays red and blue then I’m absolutely adding him to my deck.

Found your channel through Nicol Bolas video, now i'm so glad that you made one about niv mizzet, since it's my favorite mtg character. Your content quality is amazing. I love the way you narrate and organize the story and also how you use the cards and flavor texts to illustrate the events. Congratulations man, I really wish all sucess for you with the channel.

Niv is a pompous ass sometimes, but he's never really been evil like Bolas was. I hope he resist the temptation and makes for a good guardian of Ravnica. Great videos btw man

He is now Niv-Mizzet, Supreme. He got his wish.

Great video, I needed lore for a Ravnica D&D campaign, and this rundown of Niv really helped!

I love Niv-Mizzet love the deck i built around him. Love the video you made I leaned more about my favorite character/cards

Loved this story, I am a Niv-Mizzet's biggest fan with a deck build for it! Great video, keep up the great work!

Niv reborn is my favorite 5 color card so this makes me happy

In my DnD game, after the invasion, I had Niv reverse engineer the Immortal Sun so that it repelled all planeswalkers from Ravnica instead of locking them there. Then he went about trying to fabricate his own spark. After two years of trying, he finally concedes that he can’t do it. Ironically, this admission of inability angers him so much that it actually ignites his spark! However, as this happens, a wave of energy from the Firemind erupts across the whole plain igniting a mini-spark in every person on the plain. Because of the immortal sun, everyone is propelled to a random plain for several minutes. Realising what he’d done and now incredibly powerful, Niv uses all of his energy and spark to reach across the multiverse, remove the mini sparks he had created and then send everyone back to Ravnica. In doing this, he dies. This leaves Ravnica once again without a Guildpact and with the loss of hundreds of thousands who happened to die during the event.

AWESOME!! i love the long form videos you really capture the emotions and story of each character! i hope you continue to see other main character lore videos. I would love to learn about Urza as a suggestion

I've just started watching your channel here. I have to say, very well done so far. As someone who simply does not have time to follow up on these stories, it's awesome you've dedicated a chunk of your own personal time to share the wonderful world of Magic and other fantasy lore with us. I have to say though, I am disappointed slightly you seemed to omit two of my favorite pieces of the War of the Spark story. 1)During The Gathering Storm, Ral's Project Lightning Bug was done to track these energy phenomenon, but he kept the the truth about Planeswalkers specifically away from Niv-Mizzet. Silly little Ral believed himself to be the first Planeswalker the more than millenia old Dragon had ever met, and decided Mizzet would be too angry at the possibilty of worlds and knowledge beyond his reach. They had a talk, I wish Niv-Mizzet was more condescending on the child. 2)As Nicol Bolas took his first steps onto the plane of Ravnica, Niv-Mizzet did indeed launch an all-out assault on him, but one of the plans he had prepared for this moment was setting booby traps all over the city. Pockets of stored magical energies that he had readied to blast him all at once. This initial salvo of explosive damage didn't, obviously, succeed at halting Bolas' plans, but it was a perfect example of how a highly intelligent *Dracogenius* would plan for an impending invasion led by someone so powerful. Especially given Niv's extermination of other dragons on *His* Ravnica.

I've been running a Ravnica D&D campaign (set after the War of the Spark) and this has been an invaluable resource for my world building and plot spinning. Video: liked. Channel: subbed. Bell: SMASHED.

This is an incredible video! Thanks so much!

In Modern Horizons 2, it is alluded in a card that the Izzet are working on their own version of an aether portal. I believe the card says they are on attempt 836.

Your vids are great and you seem very well read, id love a long form vid on Yawgmoth and the first Phyrexian War! Keep up the good work

I got into magic by the time that return to ravnica came out. i remember i bought my first box and on the first booster he came out. I saw him and fell for the dragon instantly. so much that i used to run a standard deck with him in it. i was proud that i got to win a few games with it even though i was a novice at the time. Today i have a niv mizzet parun and reborn commander deck.

Just found this channel through my brother and I love it! I love Niv Mizzet and I enjoy the character Although I have to admit when you mention that Niv named the guild izzet because he is a narcissist, I laughed quietly in Rakdos.

I love seeing jace poop up in these videos he seems to always find his way into alot of the lore, mono blue for life!

These videos are so freaking epic, thanks for taking the time to choose the cards you show here, it's really awesome!

Great video! I'm pretty new to MTG, and your channel has really gotten me into the lore

Izzet is my favorite guild, and Niv Mizzet is my favorite MTG spirit animal.

Remember us when you are famous! We were here first! Never forget the OG fans

Just found your channel and binged everything, great content man. Excited to see where it goes

this is amazing love the lore of each magic the gathering ages.. I'm more interested in the slivers, the brothers war and the whole onslaught saga

Amazing channel and content. Keep it up!

Fantastic video - listened to it while playing out my Niv-Mizzet, Parun CMDR deck and making changes. Gotta be my favorite character in all of MTG, second only to Nicol Bolas. Guess I'll be watching that video next!

Bravo. That's something guys. Loved it! Subscribed at instant speed! ;)

Man it’s been so nice to see you grow, I started watching when you posted the nevinyrral

I hope that one day we get a Niv Mizzet planeswalker card

It blows my mind that this channel is so little. The production and the quality are so high you would expect to see another 0 at the end of the subs number. You are on the road to greatness my dude! keep up the good work ❤️ As a suggestion, may I add: what about a serie explaining al the different iterations of single planeswalkers? Like, the lore following all the changes happening to Chandra, or Ajani, or Jace. I feel it would be very interesting. (Sorry for possible potato English)

Another great movie better than anything than Hollywood make.

great video and if you read the new comic then you know just how much closer he is to being planes shifter( or whatever you'd call a non-planeswalker who travels between planes). also trying not to spoil if you haven't read it yet.

Yet another great video.

How about Slivers? With their extinctiions and resurrections and stuff, i only just recently read up on them and i was impressed

Your channel is gonna blow up man! And i can't wait to see it!

You are doing the elder gods work here.

Great channel great execution great video

One of my favorite characters in cards. When Niv-Mizzet, Parun was printed, I had to make a deck around it, even if it was not a very competitive one.

Man i can´t wait for a Urza and Mishra Video with the new set around them, if you will ever do one. Binged watched/listen a lot of stuff of yours. Really cool. I really like the feel of a audio book that i get from your videos (but with art)! If i would have one wish or tip or whatever you would call it maybe some sound effects would be cool (fighting sounds, fire, laughing this kind of stuff) though i think that would be a lot of work so it´s only a wish i guess. :D

I would love to see the scene after the war of the spark, where Miv-nizzet decides to taunt Jace with the loss of his title, only for jace to reveal he's not only good without it, but is in fact happy to be away from all the responsibilities and paperwork.

I can just say: Amazing, new Sub for this video.

Wonderful video. Thank you.

If you remember your study series, could you do "A study in Ferocity" for Hydras?

Amazing video and channel. Congrats. Please do a brothers war video! Mishra and Urza history!

Always a favorite commander of some of my edh decks

Super awesome. Great story telling! Do Liliana next, please! My wife would appreciate it.

epic! Glad i just discovered this channel.

Props to niv for being the last of the original paruns.

Vary good! Can't wait to see more like it

He's similar to Neloth of House Telvanni, from The Elder Scrolls: An arrogant, pretentious prick to anyone and everyone but with the skills and knowledge to back it up. My favorite kind of wizard.

Great Video, can’t wait for the next character lore video. So many to choose.

such an underrated channel! Nice video

I have always loved Niv, mostly because it's nice to have a dragon main character we get to see a lot of who isn't trying to destroy all they touch. Ravnica has been fortunate he never had the black alignment, or even white to suppress or dominate others, content in his own, individual sense of worth and the admiration of his followers, no desire to spend his time ruling when he could be doing, whatever he wants. Honestly, I have to wonder if he'd have actually done anything untoward with the guild pact if he got it first, or if he just wanted to prove he was smarter than everyone. It's name, would probably change, the positioning of the guild symbols, possibly the size of one... That I'd believe he'd do. It, will be interesting to see what happens with him next. Three colours of mana he's never touched have suppressed his devotion to red and blue. Will the new touch of black teach him ambition like bolus, will his alignment to green and white convince him he ought not over assert himself or meddle in their natural order... A little sad to think though his personality might be so changed, as if he's not even Niv anymore

I been waiting last couple of days for this !

I think it would be cool if Niv found a way to mantle the Ur Dragon.

There are only a few fairly specific characters that I really care about storyline wise. Niv-mizit is one. Ajani, Dak Faeden, Karn, Nicole Bolas, and a few others are on the list but many of the characters are not even Planeswalkers but simply specifically named characters. Many of the characters I have the most attachment to are either because they have a great story attached to them or they have a great design. Some of the characters are something along the lines of I wish I could simply go to them and wrap them up in a massive hug and simply make all of their ills go away.

just amazing congratulations

My man, your voice is like buttered honey dripped with opium. I hope you get a career in radio/voice acting

My Plane. My colors. My Guild. Enjoy the video Ravnicans

You know, I've been playing MTG non-stop for 12 years and I am fan of the lore. And yet, I wasn't aware of half the things this video explains. First of, hat's off to you, excellent video. 2nd; here's a novel concept: Maybe instead of pumping money into foils, WotC/Hasbro could, and here me out on this, produce something like a series, or maybe a show, to expand their universe and tell the epic lore of their game to a much wider audience than a card game alone ever could. I know, crazy idea right?

It would be absolutely awesome if Niv finds a way to become a planeswalker and we would have the first 5 colored planeswalker (a feat that even Bolas didn't achieve)

Please, Wizards; allow Niv-Mizzet to become a Plainswalker. And please bring him back to new storylines. Perhaps Niv’s character can be one that leads the audience to feel even more for him and allow him to gain knowledge to the extent where his ego gets to face a boundary that cannot be passed without experiencing love, empathy, compassion… kinda like Vegeta in DBZ but he’s still a badass and from time to time has to wrestle with the Heart and the egoic intelligence that is the Mind in general.

It would be so awesome if they make him a planeswalker so we have have a legal 5 color walker.

Niv-Mizzet is so vain, he probably thinks this video is about him.

Niv Mizzet of the vail!

I feel like defeating an elder dragon makes you an elder dragon right? Anyways, great video 👍

Niv-Mizzet is my daddy, and he's here to protect... Meeee

Great video, well done!

Niv-samaaaaaaa!

Just discover the channel, nice content, you earn a sub, good info

And then he turned himself into the Guild-pact, funniest shit I’ve ever seen

Niv needs an elder dragon card

Cover the members of the Gatewatch next.

If I could just watch the fight between niv and bolas. That'd be great.

I guess that as the Living guildpact, Niv-Mizzet would never planeswalk away from Ravnica, just by being too implied in that plane. Manipulating other sparks furthermore would be within reach however

BEST DRAGON!!!!!
