This video actually clears up a few bits lf lore info for me. I've been a big fan of doing some D&D/MTG crossover campaigns for my group and was trying to figure out just what kind of power a Planeswalker Spark actually provides. I had thought that pre- and post- mending had planeswalkers that still had functional immortality (where they simply don't die of old age) and could just "walk" to planes they were aware of.

Not gonna lie, I screamed "No!" At the reveal of his compleation in the Dominaria reunited teaser trailer. I hope this gets updated with his purification and what ever new story gets released.

I have a theory on Ugin's original color combination before he became colorless. I think he was born with the Temur color combination centered in Blue. Here are my reasons for it: 1. He always had a desire to explore and learn (B,R) everything about the multiverse while preserving and protecting it (G) like when he didn't want the gate watch to eliminate the eldrazi because they might hold and important role in the multiverse (G). 2. Being the twin brother to Nicol Bolas and sharing an egg with him it would make sense that they shared more than one color, in their case Blue and Red. 3. If I remember correctly he's powers revolved around creating living things from mana like the dragons of Tarkir from the dragon storm. The Temur color combo has always been the color capable of creating things from nothing and manifesting things like dreams, spirits and illusions into reality and giving life and sentience to natural forces like elementals. 4. There's also the whole thing about Ugin being "the soul of Tarkir". Ugin, a pre mending plains walker AND an Elder Dragon would have the power to either create the plane or molded it in his image. If he is a wedge color dragon then that might explain why Tarkir is a wedge color centered plane. And remember, where was he in fate reforged fighting Bolas?, in or close to Temur territory. 5. Put his card shown in the video next to the Temur/rBg apex predator of Ikoria, Illuna. They clearly look as if they might be related or in other words born out of the same mana combination. And what are her powers? O yes creating life, in her case beasts, out of nothing. Those are my reasons. Please leave your feed back it helps give strength to my imagination. Or better yet put your ideas of what ancient EDs from Dominaria with a wedge color combo centered on the enemy color looked and acted like.

@@OctopusLair I just wished he could've kept the Planar Bridge. Seemed like something useful to have for a thief. Also, I was really wishing he would've been one of the flip-walkers from MH3. Like his creature side showing before he killed Silas Renn and his walker side after.

Gods, New Phyrexia was done in such a stupid way. Phyrexians are horrors, basically mechanical zombies and suddenly they can be mono-white? Mono-green? So dumb. "Oh well this phyrexian uses religious words to describe the zombification process, thus it's white aligned." So dumb.

I was honestly fairly upset with the story decision to have Ajani “compleated”… I have always viewed Ajani as “incorruptible”, with an acutely tuned moral compass. Almost the MtG equivalent or embodiment of the French revolutionary motto of “Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité” (in English Liberty, Equality, Fraternity in case anyone needed clarification). The decision to allow his “compleation” seems like an oversight or something shoehorned in. Yes, I realize Ichor is nearly “completely irresistible”, but certain characters have been shown to possess the ability to resist being corrupted by it (Milera for one). I just think it would have been more in line with the lore if Ajani were maybe not so much totally immune, but unsuited for “compleation” due to his “purity” or whatever sounds better to your ears, but you get the idea. I also realize that Milera reversed Ajani’s ichor affliction (at the cost of her own life 😢), but I am just not a huge fan of that storyline.

Hiah. I read one of your replies to someone else's comment about how youtube was making things hard on you and I just wanted to say I just discovered your channel and have really enjoyed the videos you have made. I don't say this to pressure you to make more if it doesn't make sense for you to do so, but I hope you know the effort you put into this wasn't completely in vein. There are many people who I"m sure would agree that enjoy your videos and want only the best for you. So if this is one of the last times we hear from you, just know, you matter. People care about you and the things you do and create (:

I will be honest with you. I haven’t replied to a single comment in the past months because it was simply too painful for me. The (apparently final) decision from KZfaq about the impossibility to monetise my work on this platform really took a toll on me. Making one of my videos requires tens of hours of research, writing, recording, editing and publishing, plus a few extra since English is not my native language. Seeing how KZfaq slammed the door in front of me made me angry, but most of all sad. I hated the fact that they wouldn’t recognise all the effort I put every single day of my life for 8 full months to build a competitive MTG Lore channel. Now, over these past months of absence I’ve averaged 500~ total views per week, new subs and kind comments such as yours. They were all very inspiring and heartwarming, so I wanna thank you for that. I hope I will find the time and energy to start making videos again in the next few months, even without any monetary compensation whatsoever, because at the end of the day, I truly liked it. In the meantime, thank you for your support. It means a lot to me.
