Karn despite being an artificial being is probably the most human character in mtg and an example to us all.

As someone who just got back into magic over the past couple years I don't know why but I thought Karn was dead. Thanks for the vid

An excellent retelling of Karn's character and story! Well done!

While I don't know the entirety of Magic's lore, I have a feeling that Karn suffered more than any other plainswalker.

Karn has always been my favourite planeswalker and this was an awesome retelling of his story! He has suffered so much yet he perseveres and strives to liberate the planes from Phyrexia! What an incredible being

Another well told story covering parts even I was fuzzy on. Thanks for the hard work you all put into these. It shows in each one.

Thank you for covering Karn in a lore video, one of my all time favorite planewalkers! Well done!

Karn is the first one of these planeswalker story videos that you've done that I knew pretty much nothing about. Now, I know quite a bit! Thank you!! I didn't realize he was so involved in the War of the Spark. To be honest, I don't really know much about WotS. That was when they stopped doing the blog stories on the MTG website, so I fell out of the Lore Loop. I should really look into that more.

I absolutely love all of these back stories!!!! They are so important to the lore of magic. It makes me love or lothe the characters. 😁

I really appreciate the work and dedication you put into these videos. Looking forward to your rise in popularity, I have never once payed attention to mtg, but now I am hooked!

You guys should redo your Teferi lore video! It’s one of your older videos and he deserves an incredibly in depth and lengthy video such are your newer content. This Karn video is perfection.

I can see Karn actually going back to the slivers and seeking there aid against the phyrexian scourge.

tried to listen to this while falling asleep now i’m on the verge of tears for karn

Gods I love Karn. He's by far my favorite planeswalker and has been my favorite character in Magic since WAAAAAAAAAY back in the day. Alas, Karn has easily gotten one of the worst ends of the stick in Magic history and while I know shit's going to go DOWN when we eventually go back to New Phyrexia and Karn is probably going to end up sacrificing himself to save everyone somehow, I just hope he goes out in a dignified manner. I want a proper end to what I believe is the longest running character story in all of Magic history

You know you have the best MTG lore breakdown on KZfaq, right? Keep it up man.

Awesome video. I have the Karn Liberated and always wanted to know more of his story. I knew he was a part of the older sets I played as a kid involving Urza and the phyrexians, I was very curious of the details of his story though. Thanks a bunch buddy. Keep up the good work.

I have a question. How come the Oil only starts to work and "leak" only after Karn's ascension and travels. Why didn't Urza or Barrin or anyone else noticed it during the Weatherlight Saga? Is this ever explained?

That bit of lore where karn lived with the viashino was awesome thanks for that ‼💪

The Karn video is live woo woo

One of my favorite characters! Primeval dragons next?

I knew NONE of this and now I want to know EVERYTHING! Great video!

I'm very happy that I found your Channel, the Video was excellent - Karn is my favourite Character/Planeswalker ever since I read the Brothers War Novels as a Kid, I always felt so bad for him but liked how he approached any Problem so drastically different than any one else...with Kindness and Respect for Life. I always thought he could summon Constructs at will, but he is probably just really good in building them or just animating any Artifact at an instant. Which is way better! :-D I think - or hope - that he will show up in the next Set after the Kamigawa Neon Dynasty , since Phyrexia is on the Move and he might help to "un-compleat" phyrexian Planeswalkers.

Great video, I'd love a video about Urza. I've looked on KZfaq and solid lore videos about him aren't easily available. Seems like an interesting character to explore!

I found MTG through googling my nickname out of curiosity, at first I just liked how we share the names but now I’m happy to know that he’s the kind of man I’d want to be, love his story. PS: my name is an English version of a Thai name, my parents have no idea the card game existed

Another excellent video on perhaps my number 1 favorite character in mtg. Amazing work, these are always masterful.

That was incredible. It's not an easy task to give justice to such a unique, complex, gruesome and very often full of despair/ bad vs worst choices arch. Dominaria will be key this year, so will be the Phyrexians I suppose, especially since we've been spotting them on other planes in 2021, so I'm pretty sure Karn will be a key part in the very next archs. See you soon silver Planesurfer! cheers

I knew all of this stuff, but it was nice to hear the story told again. Great video as always.

10/10 video. would love to see a whole video or series about everything phyrexian.

"Jhoira is my friend-my best friend. We met at the original academy, before the accident drove us from Tolaria. She named me. Karn, from an old Thran name. She said it meant strength." - Karn, only wanting to remember

Love this! Would love to see Teferi!

Great video and I hope everyone watching has a good 2022!

Thank you for bringing us magic’s great lore!

Good video. Excellent music selection.

Sooo... Planeswalker can't bring living tissue other than themselves when planeswalking. Nicol bolas had to coat his zombie army, so they can be brought through the portal. Memnarch: "Well I really don't know what your all's problem is. So many races, from so many worlds"

5:42 I cant help but think that Emrakul being sealed in the silvermoon of Innistrad has something to do with time travel

Chainer, Dementia Master next? Anyone from the Mirari Saga is fascinating.

I would love the hear about Merit-Leige

Thanks!

Karn is the prime example of the importance of thorough hygeine

Great video, a great way of connecting with the flavour and art of the cards!

I love it when the planeswalker karn says “I am Karn”

Karn is basically Arnold in Terminator 2

Another amazing video told in story format.

As a person who only started playing during the Ixilan, Dom, Guilds of Rav era the vague references/appearances of karn INSTANTLY grabbed my attention as it seemed to be the only "artificial" planewalker and I was much more intrigued by that then any of the other superpowered or magic goodguy badguy "heroes" that the others fell into as he was sort of the Ultron in Magic's take on the MCU in my opinion (but im not even close to being an expert in either) LOL!

Excellent to have in my ears whilst coding at home :D.

With dominaria united and the brothers war later this year, and mtg’s 30th anniversary next year, i think 2023 might be one of the craziest story years the game has seen in a long time. I just hope karn survives the inevitable conflict with new phyrexia

I really hope we see more of karn with the brothers war this year

Great work

Next do Urza. I would love an extended video of the life of Urza

Great stuff!

This was very good

In general I am the mtg player who gives zero shits about the lore. But these videos are well organized and genuinely entertaining to me.

Thank you for the amazing video. I just recently discovered your channel, and have been trying to watch all of the M:tG ones that you've made. RELALY well done stuff!

I never realized that Karn was from so early in magic's history

and now in kamigawa tamiyo a planeswalker is compleat. karn be slacking

Excellent! Well done as always. Ragavan next? jk

Great story

I kinda wish we got a Phyrexian Karn Card, but great story as always

This was a great video and I don’t know if it was just a me thing watching it on a big screen but for some reason my eyes trying to focus on the blurry pictures moving kind of strained them, like I couldn’t focus on it. Would it be possible to use full focused pictures when you’re doing the camera pan effect over art depicting what you’re talking about? 😢 Again sorry if it’s just a thing with my eyes but in case it made others strained too I figured I’d mention it. Nevertheless it was a fantastic video!

Ok but how the hell are all of the Weatherlight crew members and Jhoira even still alive by the end of Urza’s war with the Phyrexians, let alone current day Dominaria? I get Jhoira was in a slow time rift for awhile, but she was rescued from that before Urza’s war ended.

This is going to be goooooood

I think karn will become the new leader of the phyrexians. At this point phyrexians aren't necessarily evil, there more a force of nature without yawgmoth. Maybe karn can lead them in a less destructive path, they are his babies in a way

Muy bueno! Muchas gracias !

This is a very good video I like how you explain

great video man

Awesome video as always!

I was a longtime fan by the time of mending. You think, story had an amazing ending and mtg great potential for storytelling. Now its all starbucks branded mtg cards. I can just carry on because I was there, and can shit all over current state of mtg.

YES ^^ Thats exactly what i needed now :) COol Vid thanks ^^

What do you think about doing one on the OG Kamigawa Block to set up the new one that just came out?

This was really good. Could you recommend any MTG books which have some of the lore you've mentioned in this vid plz?

So karn is the actual sad robot

Praise the great creator!

Do you have any videos on the story of yawgmoth? I've looked but I can't seem to find any.

Where can I find the original works of magic lore?

I hope for Karn's sake that he can be dissuaded from unleashing the Golgothian Sylex on Mirrodin. The Multiverse should never bear witness to that kind of devastation again.

I think Arty Shovelhead fits Karn better than Karn.

This needs an update alot has happened lol.

Where can I learn more about Greven ?

Can you do a lore video on Ugin.

I love it!!!

im starting to see a trend with planeswalkers they always messing with stuff and then pay a huge price most of the time its they're life.

The weatherlight crew was not rescued from Volrath. Such a joke. Ertai, Mirri, Rofellos, and Crovax, all didn't make it. Such a troll.

There are a few things that sound screwy to me. If Karn's heart harbored glistening oil, then how come it did not corrupt him prior to his first ascension to the status of planeswalker? And furthermore, if the issue is that he seeds every world he goes to with glistening oil, then shouldn't he remain in exile on Argentum/Mirrodin/New Phyrexia? Why is he still planeswalking? Wouldn't planeswalking simply be setting up the Multiverse's most unfun game of whack-a-mole?

👏👏👏

Can u do Ugin next?

do a star wars legends video

Some feedback, the long pause on blurred background pictures hurts my eyes while I'm trying to listen, really bothersome, couldn't watch the video, I had to listen to it like a podcast.

I love magic, but I hate magic people. Most don't shower, exercise, or have real social skills.
