What was the invasion like for Innistrad?
To quote Dance with Calamity, "It was just another day..."
Ikoria easily became my favorite due to the hyperevolution that caused the behemoths to evolve anti-oil measures so quickly.
Read the flavour text of the flipped "battle of ikoria", majestic
Zilortha was unimpressed...
Monsters in ikoria was activate the anti-phyrexian oil crystal armor.
I love how the people of Kaldheim are just like "if we cant have the tree, no one can!"
Ikoria, where the behemoths tackled Phyrexia underfoot and even the might of Phyrexis wasn't even worth of note by Zilortha.
Zendikar, where the plane itself rose with natural might to fight off the invaders.
Ixalan, where the rage and fury of the Dinossaurs, the cunning of vampires and stuborness of humans prevailed.
Tarkir, where the fire raged and wings of flame buffeted the cancerous away in searing wrath.
And Innistrad... where it was just another Tuesday,
As you can see, I have a bit of bias with certain tropes.
Zendikar did lose Omnath and Ixalan lost Etali. So they at least got a couple punchs off :P
@@kyleellis1825For some reason, your comment has a translation that says Ixalan lost Italy, which I think is hilarious.
@@AsuraBoss Lol. The Red Spinosaur Elder Dino. I love translations like that that make totally new strange sentences..
How fitting that a Phyrexian invasion of Kaldheim, a Norse inspired plane, leads to their version of Ragnarok.
Also, the first phyrexian invasion was the ragnarok of keld, dominaria’s version of the Norse
My favorite flavor text was on ikoria invasion
Phyrexia largest Goliath stormed ikoria ready to challenge the world great monsters
Zilortha was unimpressed
Which is why the invaded Bant and Esper but left Naya alone.
Meanwhile, Jace is preparing the glorious rebirth of Phyrexia... He will become known as "Jace, the Uncle of Machines of Neo New Phyrexia"!
Nah WOTC won't desecrate Jace that way. They will dig up the corpse of Urza and have him do it
@@aj1218 Lol! Nice comment. But I disagree. Rather Jace than Ursa maybe Mishra? Oh Mishra the mad?
But upon his defeat, Vraska will avenge him as “Vraska, Great Aunt of Machines of Neo New Phyrexia: Electric Boogaloo”
Turns out it's neither. Vraska and Jace are both alive, and cleansed of Oil, in Thunder Junction. Jace was revealed yesterday, and Vraska was a few weeks ago I believe. Apparently we're getting a "Brand New" event in 2026, so maybe New Phyrexia's theoretical successor will be either after that, or the one after that.
@@knightofsteel2783 Yeah, I'm a bit sad compleation is so easily cured now. I didn't have time to check the new story, but from the art, Jace looks like Ashiok... Is there something going on here? Is this Jace just an Ashiok nightmare? Like an illusion? Or am I paranoid? Loll
I missed Lorwyn/Shadowmoor and Alara, the blocks that introduced me to MTG
If only WotC put into their own lore half the passion that channels like this do, we might have had an epic story spanned across multiple sets really seeing how each of the planes and its heroes faced off the Phyrexian hordes, instead of that rushed and half-baked resolution that the official writing team put out.
I guess it's better just to write ourselves most of the story based on the pictures and flavour text on the cards.
I like how much flavour they added to each invasion not just through the battle cards but also the online side stories and commander deck lore. Bright palm being the leader of the defence of towashi really added to that commander feeling like part of the story
I just need a new set to come out with Phyrexia as the idea for the Block.
Hands down my favorite bit of mtg lore since I started playing the game 18 years ago
Your videos are awesome! I run a MTG themed D&D campaign and your videos have been a gold mine for lore and adventure
Thanks so much, glad they can help inspire!
I mean, it's true tho.
i'm doing it as well and your videos are... a staple to me

In the end, logic, stakes and the spair planeswalker (lukka) died. War of the spark 2 everybody
While underwhelming in terms of consequences (and horrible writing in those novels), at least War of the Spark still felt like a cohesive story.
The Phyrexian invation of the multiverse had a pretty good setup up to midway through MoM... then WotC pull off of Game of Thrones season 8 and suddenly the largest existential threat in history became a minor nuisance and the heroes won because of plot armour.
How about an in depth Ravnica guide on all of the guilds and their leaders?
Amazing content as usual. Thanks a lot for the trip down memory lane and into compleation.
I know you spoke lots about dominaria, and have already made a video about Akroma, but is there any chance you could produce a video on the whole Mirari debacle?
Another top tier delve into MTG lore!!🔥
Glad you enjoyed
Yayyyyy you made my morning!!!

Love the video 🔥🔥
Still would like to see Amonkhet before Bolas destroyed it. It could be a stand alone set telling the story of how Bolas destroyed the plane and warped the gods to make them do his bidding
Needs to happen for sure
I'm so done with the over arching story. Let one set a year tell the ongoing current timeline story and let the other three sets each year all be stand alone sets from all periods of time.
- Do alara, the sundering, and the shards now isolated.
- Do Amonkhet pre Bolas.
- Show us Innistrad before Avacyn.
- Go back to Lorwyn/Shadowmoor in the past or show how it turned into Eldraine over time after the Human Planeswalkers introduced humans to the plane.
- Do Kaldheim when the elves where the gods.
- What about Argentum right when Memnarch started grabbing people.
- Go to Ikoria when the mutation crystals first appeared.
- What about Zendikar before the Eldrazi + Vampires?
- Ravnica pre guilds when the Nephilim ruled.
@@kyleellis1825 Loryn/Shadowmoor is its own plane w/ no humans other than planeswalkers who pass through, it even featured on an Invasion card. Eldraine is entirely separate and has its own invasion. The two are only linked in the way of being inspired by European fae mythology.
I understand. I just hate how they've handled the planes the last decade. I always thought Eldraine would be Shadowmoor/lorwynn after the walkers brought humans.@@phoenixshadow4631
WOOO waiting for this one
Hi Lorebrarian! 48:19 I think this is a small editing mistake, Silumgar appears as you're presenting the Mardu. I love your video btw, it's a masterpiece! :)
Appreciate it!
It's criminal how unknown this channel is.
Talkir (dragon plane) looks really cool.
And with Aftermath on the horizon... MOAR LORE
As so phyrexias giant apex predators stormed ikoria and much like a similarly spiny giant nuclear lizard. Zilortha was unimpressed.
How did Kaladesh get Halo blades? Isn't that substance from New Capenna?
Time stamps?
I don’t think I’ve heard the word “boon” as many times in one video as I just did
Damn, it must be never a good time beinf alive in dominaria
Also I really hoped in phyrexian invading innstrad only to realese the aeon thorn the promised end emrakul from its moon and collectevy shit their pants when the eldrazi titan call again his two buddy for a buffet on the multiverse
Let’s go
No Zilortha?
I'd love to hear more about the end of the invasion. From what I ggathered, it seems that Teferi invaded New Phyrexia, with Karn, they almost got Elesh Norn, but in the end she seems to have vanquished every Zhalfirin, and when she was about to slay Karn, Elspeth, who was supposedly dead, emerged as archangel, and slayed Elesh Norn. I'm sure I'm missing some info, therefore i'd love to hear about that :D
Working on the script for part 2 of Phyrexia's story arc as we speak!
@@TheLorebrarians More perfect than the phyrexians ♥️
I enjoy freshening up with Mtg's lore since I'm returning from a ten year break , but this episode didn't provide any context or description of how and why Phyrexia invaded every other realm 😕
See the Phyrexian Arc videos on the channel. New Phyrexian the Quest for Perfection and Fall of New Phyrexia discuss the entire multi-set story
no Alara? :(
Where the #$@! Is jace?!?!
40:31 that devil girl is kinda hot.
Bro...
@@CromwellMTG 😇
I luv pie 🥧
