I'm not sure if this is the biggest event in it's history. Time spiral and the Urza saga were pretty huge from my understanding, though I wasn't playing back then, and I don't know enough mtg history to be sure. This is definitely one of the most ambitious sets/events in a long time (if not ever) though.
I run a dnd campaign that takes place in the MtG multiverse, which my players have never played or heard of. I’ve been building up Nicol Bolas for well over a couple months(my players are level 13) and they were HORRIFIED when they found out the Amonkhet and its people, who they made way more friends with than on any other plane, were just pawns for the Dragon who had killed 3 party members. I don’t know how they’re gonna take it when they learn that Samut, Neheb, Hapatra, and all of their other Amonkhet pals were killed not for the grand take over of Ravnica as they thought, but instead for nothing more than the SETUP to a trap.
Garuk shows up at the last second cuts off Bolas's head and screams "THIS WILL LOOK GOOD ON MY WALL!" Before planeswalking away. Several sets latter Bolas's Head is found to be still conscious and mounted in Garuk's trophy room... Ugin nearly dies laughing.

Great job on the narration Graham! It is cool to see his whole scheme laid out in such an informative video. For sure sharing this with my friends who do not pay close attention to the lore.
This is absolutely fantastic for people who don't read the story but are still interested in it. Thank you guys for posting a synopsis up to this point
That's a nice foil pre-release Bolas you got there. *Taps four plains and places a Ixalans' Binding on top of it.* It would be a shame if you couldn't play the game.
*Spoiler:* Everything ends with an epic battle inside Bolas's Citadel while Fblthp tries not to get his head blown off by a stray fireball in the middle of all that chaos. Bolas successfully casts the Elder Spell, but Gideon sacrifices himself to kill him before he absorbs everyone's sparks, and both plummet to their deaths. At that point, the sparks enter the nearest available living body: Fblthp, who becames omnipotent. With such a burden, and knowing that there will be others like Bolas, Fblthp decides to travel to the only place where he knows no one will be ever be able to reach him... back in time! Adopting a pseudonym to make sure that his destiny remains forever unknown, he puts an end to the planeswalkers saga and so a new story begins: the story of Arcanis the Omnipotent!
Imo best MTGA video so far! It was hard for me as a casual player to understand everything that happened and is happening in MTG / MTGA since the beginning. Thank you very much for making such great explanatory and beautiful video!
Then just before he gains ultimate power the true overlords or the multiverse show up having followed the same beacon as the planeswalkers. The Eldrazi titans have returned. Finally will everyone realize that the eldrazi aren’t monsters. The protect the order of the multiverse and only when they’re gone has this fallen into true chaos. All hail the colorless ones!
For a second I thought this wasn’t Graham Stark! Nice narration and great script writing. I’m really grateful that you share the lore with others, I feel like people need to know more about the Mtg multiverse!
More of these, please. I have had an unreasonable amount of trouble finding uniform, quality summaries of the story. I'd prefer to get one of these for every set. Also, Graham Stark as Narrator is fantastic.
I’m a newbie to Magic and I’ve only been playing since Kaledesh. I do think this newness gives me a fresh set of eyes and an unbiased perspective that isn’t tainted by nostalgia. Let me just say, I love this game and the lore is excellent-such a great story. However, I can’t help but feel that it’s unfortunate we have shoddy story tellers.

Unless he turns it into a creature and equips Helm of the Host to it. Then he'll be fine.
