FMy favorite plane period and as for characters, Gisa and Geralf 100%. These two are complete sibling-shitlords and yet they are among (if not the) most powerful necromancers on the plane, a plane filled with necromancers and the like, so that says something.
The story of Avacyn and Sorrin is so tragic. It is by far my favorite story from Innistrad. Both wanting so desperately to do good, and protect their home and its inhabitants, that they ultimately become monsters in doing so, and arguably cause more harm than good.
Nahiri was mad at Sorin but didn't get murderous until after Sorin refused to apologize for shrugging off her words. It wasn't the fact that the helvault itself was blocking off communication between innistrad and the rest of the multiverse it's the fact he just didn't care that it was
It was Sorin callous dismissal of Nahiri that kinda soured me on Sorin. He had it coming. Then Nahiri went more and more insane. Idk if I back current Nahiri either.
Ludevic has always interested me. Also I like how the delver of secrets changes throughout the sets. I'm pretty sure WOTC will go back to innistrad again, and end up using emrakul to blow it up, most places end up blown up in MTG stories
My favorite set will always be Avacyn Restored, the set that brought me into Magic. The storyline of her going mad and having to be destroyed was heartbreaking for me! #giveaway
@@TheLorebrarians I adored Avacyn, and never thought the plane would be the same without her. But I have to say... Liesa and Sigarda are both growing on me...
I really wanted to learn more about Innistrad, especially after the return to the plane in those recent sets, but didn't see the first Innistrad video you published. Watched that one AND this one between yesterday and right now and I have to admit, it's a phenomenal story. I don't know if it's because of your amazing storytelling capabilities or because the story is genuinely intriguing, either way I really enjoyed these videos (much like I did for the Nicol Bolas videos) and will check out way more lore since I haven't really checked out anything else and your channel is just THAT good. Thank you :)
Wow, thanks so much I'm glad you enjoy the content! Innistrad is a great plane with rich stories, I couldn't even fit all of them into this 1.5 hr telling. Hope you enjoy your time on the channel
@@TheLorebrarians After watching all of this amazing story, I started building a human commander deck centered around the Innistrad plane, and will keep the flavor to the max by trying and using almost only cards from innistrad blocks. I haven't built anything like this yet even though I have over 25 decks; I can definitely say that you inspired me a lot! Thank you once more!!!
@@StahliCell that’s the effect this channel has! Idk what it is! I did the same after watching the Nicol bolas video, something about this channel that makes you wanna build lore-friendly edh decks
Ya know, looking back at the art of Blood Tribute and its lore, I don't know if that shows how desperate the people of Stensia were or just how crazy Olivia is. Sorin: Drinks the blood and experiences intense trauma then he seemingly vanishes in a flash of light/shadow... Olivia: "My Turn!"
It is too bad Gitrog Monster, Liesa(her return in Vow), Ludevic, Gisa/Geralf (when they joined forces in Shadows arc), Ishkanah did not get too much of a mention. Then again most of them were just there for fun and not really lore important to the main story. I still enjoyed the heck out of this video! Thank you!
Yes, I would have loved to include the lesser characters but since it was already pushing 1.5 hrs I had to cut many of those stories non-essential to the main line
I think I’ve binged every MTG lore video you have now, and I absolutely love your storytelling. To comment on the stories themselves: you can just tell when a massive change in the writing team and/or direction happened in MTG. The stories went from grand, and honestly nihilistic to an extremely typical avengers-esc plot. I get that the Mending de-powered Planeswalkers, but even the stories that take place immediately afterward show that they are a cut above the rest. The idea that a room of common vampires is literally any trouble for Sorin at all is laughable when compared next to even his post-Mending achievements. Planeswalkers went from God-like beings that mostly served themselves or their people to a group of bleeding-heart Boy Scouts. And yes, some of the Gatewatch were introduced like that, but many others like Teferi, Karn, and Vraska had complete personality shifts to fit into the new writing direction. Also the idea that any Planeswalker can just be called upon at any moment to help with any level of problem is asinine. A Planeswalker as powerful as Teferi should not be able to be bestest so damn easily by Olivia. It just doesn’t make sense. Anyway, that’s what really grinds my gears.
Love watching the channel grow. It's one of my favorite things to listen to while driving to work, and the amount of effort really shows. Thank you for your work
Avacyn restored is the set that got me into magic in the first place. And sorin has always been my favorite planeswalker. My favorite set from all of the Innistrad ones is eldritch moon because when everything seems like it's about to end liliana pops in and saves the whole plane.
Thanks so much for putting this amazing video together! The effort and care you put into it really shines through, and it had me captivated from beginning to end. Seriously inspired me to go look up all the Innistrad set cards just to read the lore snippets on them next time I have an off day, haha! I came in looking for more info on Sorin, but now I want to go find out more info on the Eldrazi and see all the little hidden spots where their influence comes through :D Take care man, and keep being awesome!
Oh wow, thank you so much! This right here is why I started the channel, I love connecting people to their hobbies and building a stronger inspiration. And love to hear you've taken it upon yourself to dive deeper, as always go forth and explore the lore!
With this I can build my 5e game with this information. One of my players took on the mantel of a Markov empire on another plane.. He let me have control over who his Sire was. He is working with a newly formed Eldritch being (he doesn't know it yet) but I might include some of this lore into my story now. Thinking of a simular scroll tto trap the being into the moon... but I ramble on. Thank you and great job.
Seems like you folks are the only real MTG lore people out there. Just started about 2 months ago with my wife and the lore is by far my favorite part. Thank you for all you do for the newbies like me 😁 #Giveaway
I want to welcome both of you to the Multiverse! MTG is a great game with even greater stories. Glad you found the channel and I appreciate the support. Good luck with your future decks!
tbh, i have never played MTG, though i've seen students of mine play. i watch these Lorebrarians videos because the lore and the artwork are fascinating and so wonderfully mystical. Long Live MTG.
I don't play MTG but I really enjoy the lore and rich history of the game. Sadly, most creators don't cover this stuff or if they do they put out small videos yadda yaddaing large parts of it. This chan is great for indepth dives on the planes and the stories of the sets. If I can make a request, could we see videos on older sets before Planeswalkers and all that took over? Some of the Ice Age type stuff?
First and foremost I would like to say that the presentation is epic. The time it must take to dig up all these pearls of knowledge must be great. I enjoy all of your tales and look forward to what you do next. Every time you put a card up and tell of the lore I find myself digging into my personal collection to see if I have it as well. I know I cannot be the only one to do so....let me know if you feel the same way #giveaway and much love for what you do
This, this is what I love to hear. When my content can help inspire others to dive deeper and uncover the secrets of their favorite stories and hobbies it fills me with joy. So glad you enjoy the content and as always, go forth and explore the lore!
I have played MTG practically my whole life, and never paid attention to the lore until recently when I accidentally stumbled upon these videos. Thank you for the content! 😁 #Giveaway
I am so thankful for lore channels or great providers of lore ! This is outstanding MTG lore, and just as a bonus a channel called "AcidGlow" has Predators , Alien/Prometheus , and The Thing cannon Lore ... Your Welcome to whomever that information helped.
The first video that I watched of yours was the rise and fall of Nicol Bolas. He had already been one of my favorite characters and was the first commander deck that I made. Since then I’ve really enjoyed your lore videos for this amazing game! Thank you! #giveaway
Wolves don't have an Alpha like most humans think - they don't have one at all or it's the parents of the pack. Thank you so much for this awesome video!!
It's a shame this video could not wait for the final chapter of Crimson Vow. Arlinn, as much as I like her, actually loses to Olivia when she transforms and her bestial mind gets distracted while fighting, allowing Olivia to seriously wound her and run. She is saved by Tovolar and her own wolves, in a moment of semi-redemption for the werewolf leader, and they pursue Olivia and Edgar together. It is ultimately Tovolar who managed to make Olivia drop the key to escape, and he allows Arlinn and friends to take the key to the celestus. Arlinn is left with very complicated feelings about Tovolar, since he is still responsible for the Harvestide Massacre. Katilda advises her that is okay to be conflicted about the man who was a father figure to her, and that while she can be glad of his assistance and hopeful for his redemption, she shouldn't forget his crimes either, and there will be a reckoning someday. I think this plot point rounds out the story from midnight hunt well, providing further depth for both Arlinn's and Tovolar's characters, and makes me more invested in seeing what will happen with the werewolves on Innistrad.
I am really enjoying your lore videos quite a bit, they are really helping me gain an appreciation for the sets that come out and the ongoing story they provide. Keep it up dude #giveaway
Really enjoying the content you're putting out, particularly the longer videos. They're perfect for relaxing and working on my own worldbuilding. Great idea with the #giveaway too, exciting!
And then Innistrad has been invaded by the phyrexian, and honestly, I did not expect to see them handle the phyrexians. It makes sense though consider that they have fought against the Eldrazi. Although I was disappointed to not see both Compleated Nahiri and Sorin fought each other once again.
Thanks for this video, super informative for my DND character right now! Couple of questions: When you say Sorin returns to Innistrad in 3840AR, what does AR mean and where do you find that info? Sorry if those are basic questions 😅
An hour long video yess truly a good Thanksgiving your channel is really legendary Sorin Is by far my favorite #Giveaway Sidenote The elder dragon story with nicol bolas will always be my favorite though 😂
I love your mtg lore video's it so great to know more about the lore and the stories and characters init, and your voice is really great to listen to it is so camping what makes watching and listening so great fun and calm thank you for this amazing video's
I love that you used Archdemon of Greed as one of the first cards shown. Used to love that card!!! Love the channel. Keep the content coming! #giveaway
I love listening to these sort of videos while sorting cards. Magic lore is very interesting, especially when you get to see where they combine the story on the cards themselves. It'll always make me sad playing Anguished Unmaking. It's such a good card, but look what they did to my girl Avacyn... #giveaway
I love how in "Always watching" the angels look to me like harpies, wish that next time there are harpies and it's explained they are former angels that mutated
Nice recaping of the story of the plane. Do you think we'll get back on track with emrakul on the next visit (whenever that might be) or will we be dealing with more consequences: Maybe dealing with Ormendhal who's appears to be getting importance as the story goes, or maybe have a sort of situation with Odric, thalia and the cathar order.
I think if emrakul is ever to break free it will happen "off screen" as I don't think they'll do another innistrad set with eldrazi invading. Perhaps they'll unleash her on the Phyrexians in the future? I do hope to get more ormendahl, he's a great demon
Maybe I missed it in the video but dont forget Murkfiend Liege. It lets you untap your commander each turn and if you have enough things to sacrifice you will drown in value.
#Giveaway I just started watching your videos but I love the detail you go into, some of the stuff is harder to find and you do a really good job explaining it all.
Oh man ask me to pick favorites from favorites then... I think favorite single set of Innistrad is probably Midnight Hunt, favorite overall story arc the conflict between Arlinn and Tovolar, favorite single story The Dusk Reborn or Under the Silver Moon, favorite planebound characters Adeline, Sigarda, Liesa, Hal and Alena, and Avacyn (RIP), and favorite planeswalker is Arlinn but Sorin puts up much more of a fight post crimson vow than he did before it.
I love this plane... I came back to MtG seriously (unlike when I played back in Stronghold 😌) between New Phyrexia and the first Innistrad set, so this plane has a lot of nostalgia for me!! Also, can I enter the #giveaway? Edit: Also, your voice is liquid gold dipped in honey
Of course, and welcome to the channel! I'm actually planning on expanding more beyond MTG next year, what other hobbies are you interested in or want to learn more about?
@@TheLorebrarians other hobby’s are board games and video games. For board games a cool example is Kingdom Death Monster, video games there are a lot of options but Dark Souls and Bloodborne are other great examples. Oh, back on board games there is a card game by fantasy flight games called Arkham horror that has a lot of the Cthulhu mythology that would be fun.
@@hesporos I've not heard of Kingdom Death Monster but the Arkham horror games are quite fun. I may dip my feet into Soulsborne with the upcoming Elden Ring, but I do really enjoy that universe. Appreciate the suggestions
It’s likely the humans on innistrad were created from white, blue and possibly green mana. Two pieces of evidence I found to support this is a majority of human cards on innistrad are aligned to white or blue mana and the fact many werewolves are aligned to green means many humans could have also been created from green mana as well.
Considering that Wizards of the Coast, in their infinite wisdom, decided to haphazardly slam together the multiverse of Magic the Gathering and the Multiverse of Dungeons and Dragons, I now find myself contemplating playing an Innistad native should I ever wind up in a Ravenloft campaign...They'd be so bored!! "Strahd, buddy, listen...I get it, you're a Vampire! Classic! It would work on almost anyone else...but unless you head's going to explode into a mass of tentacles or something, you're only second rate compared to what I deal with back home!"
What are your thoughts on Innistrad, which character and set is your favorite? Let me know!
FMy favorite plane period and as for characters, Gisa and Geralf 100%. These two are complete sibling-shitlords and yet they are among (if not the) most powerful necromancers on the plane, a plane filled with necromancers and the like, so that says something.
Definitely my favorite plane. Fave character is definitely Avacyn. Innistrad's original defender courtesy of Sorin will always be my number 1 :)
@@nickbalmes6640 she will always hold a special place in our hearts
@@jacobdominguez916 a great and crazy duo, gotta love the necro siblings
My favorite character is the Lord of Innistrad himself, Sorin Markov. Just knowing how interwoven in some later sets is amazing
The story of Avacyn and Sorrin is so tragic. It is by far my favorite story from Innistrad. Both wanting so desperately to do good, and protect their home and its inhabitants, that they ultimately become monsters in doing so, and arguably cause more harm than good.
It's a sad tale that really resonates with me. Loved the avacyn restored set when it released and it was heartbreaking to see my angel get unmade
Agreed! You should look into odric and Thalias specific arc as well I'd love to know how you feel about that story.
Nahiri was mad at Sorin but didn't get murderous until after Sorin refused to apologize for shrugging off her words. It wasn't the fact that the helvault itself was blocking off communication between innistrad and the rest of the multiverse it's the fact he just didn't care that it was

I'm pretty sure WOTC will go back to innistrad again, and end up using emrakul to blow it up, most places end up blown up in MTG stories
Fingers crossed it doesn't come to that, I love me some innistrad
My thoughts on Emrakul is that the Gatewatch will end up freeing her to deal with the New Phyrexian invasion.

I love how in "Always watching" the angels look to me like harpies, wish that next time there are harpies and it's explained they are former angels that mutated
Always love your long videos on lore! Keep it up, good sir.
Thanks, happy to hear it!
Here is something to add to the lore archives: due to the planes unique necromancy, the undead of Innistrad are immune the Phyresis
Nice recaping of the story of the plane. Do you think we'll get back on track with emrakul on the next visit (whenever that might be) or will we be dealing with more consequences: Maybe dealing with Ormendhal who's appears to be getting importance as the story goes, or maybe have a sort of situation with Odric, thalia and the cathar order.
I think if emrakul is ever to break free it will happen "off screen" as I don't think they'll do another innistrad set with eldrazi invading. Perhaps they'll unleash her on the Phyrexians in the future? I do hope to get more ormendahl, he's a great demon
I can't get enough of these lore videos. Great content! Congrats on 20k! #giveaway
Thanks so much for the support, glad you enjoy!
Oh hey a Thanksgiving video! Good job, these hour+ videos must be insane to put together.
Thanks! Yeah, they take quite a bit of effort in research and editing. But each time gets a little quicker
Update video please? How does it end? :) Oh you have a good voice and technique. Bravo!
Maybe I missed it in the video but dont forget Murkfiend Liege. It lets you untap your commander each turn and if you have enough things to sacrifice you will drown in value.
I knew there were stories and lore behind MTG but the depth that this channel has revealed to me is amazing!
#giveaway
Yes, MTG lore is quite rich and I love showcasing the great stories!
I just recently started getting into the lore behind magic, and it is great. I really enjoy the detailed lore on this channel. Keep it up. #giveaway
Thanks, I appreciate it and love helping people connect with the stories behind the game
Your work is appreciated very much!
Thank you!
Love these lore dumps
Love to present them to you all
Amazing video! I've watched this dozens of times now! What's the soundtrack at 38:18, during the demise of Avacyn?
Innistrad is my home plane, man. It's so gorgeous, and haunting. Everything about it makes me happy #giveaway
I agree, truly a wonderfully built plane!
#Giveaway I just started watching your videos but I love the detail you go into, some of the stuff is harder to find and you do a really good job explaining it all.
Awesome, love to hear it and welcome to the channel!
Oh man ask me to pick favorites from favorites then... I think favorite single set of Innistrad is probably Midnight Hunt, favorite overall story arc the conflict between Arlinn and Tovolar, favorite single story The Dusk Reborn or Under the Silver Moon, favorite planebound characters Adeline, Sigarda, Liesa, Hal and Alena, and Avacyn (RIP), and favorite planeswalker is Arlinn but Sorin puts up much more of a fight post crimson vow than he did before it.
Those are all great picks. I think Liesa has definitely captured my interest after having been given two printings and reintroduced to the story
That was f*cking epic
Wow nice bro. Thanks for the chance to win a great product! #giveaway
Of course, thanks for the support
#giveaway This channel has become my preferred way to get magic lore. Keep it going!
I love to hear it and glad you enjoy!
You have an excellent narration, vocals, and do a dumfouding amount of research. I absolutely love the content.
#giveaway
Thanks so much, very glad to hear the content is enjoyable!
I've just discovered this channel, and I love your videos! I've been binge-watching your MtG videos and I must say they're awesome! #giveaway
Appreciate it, hope you enjoy the rest of the content!
I love this plane... I came back to MtG seriously (unlike when I played back in Stronghold 😌) between New Phyrexia and the first Innistrad set, so this plane has a lot of nostalgia for me!! Also, can I enter the #giveaway?
Edit: Also, your voice is liquid gold dipped in honey
Consider yourself entered! And thank you for the compliment, glad you enjoy the content
Been watching your videos for a while. Your videos have led me to build even more varying edh(commander) decks. I thank you. Keep It up. #giveaway
Thanks for the support and happy to hear the content helps inspire others!
Watching the vídeo to have knoledge to My undead wizard that Im playing on a innistrad dnd campain
If “the road to hell is paved with good intentions” was a story
amazing recap!
Appreciate it!
Awesome storytelling, I can almost picture the plane if I shut my eyes. #GIVEAWAY
I’ve been wondering about the lore of innastrad since midnight hunt came out. It’s like this channel can read my mind! #giveaway
Uh oh, guard your thoughts well. Glad you enjoyed!
I’ve only recently found your channel, I love lore of any hobby I get into. So thank you for making it accessible! #giveaway
Of course, and welcome to the channel! I'm actually planning on expanding more beyond MTG next year, what other hobbies are you interested in or want to learn more about?
@@TheLorebrarians other hobby’s are board games and video games. For board games a cool example is Kingdom Death Monster, video games there are a lot of options but Dark Souls and Bloodborne are other great examples. Oh, back on board games there is a card game by fantasy flight games called Arkham horror that has a lot of the Cthulhu mythology that would be fun.
@@hesporos I've not heard of Kingdom Death Monster but the Arkham horror games are quite fun. I may dip my feet into Soulsborne with the upcoming Elden Ring, but I do really enjoy that universe. Appreciate the suggestions
Sorrin’s only mirthless because he’s still salty Nahiri stuck him in a wall
Runo!!!! I am having a hard time getting a commander deck to work for him, I love the card, but the deck just seems to be okay 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah, it's such a shame cause I'm so glad that he got a printing and I want him to work!
@@TheLorebrarians I am determined to make it work- might have to Christmas gift a top and entomb to myself...
#giveaway I think my favorite story is that of the gitrog monster....the townsfolk worshipping it and making sacrifices to him are a interesting story
Thats awesome. I love the little side stories, but unfortunately couldn't fit them all into the video
Absolutely love what you’re doing so great to learn more about the game I’m in debt to. And love that the community. #giveaway
Thanks so much!
It’s likely the humans on innistrad were created from white, blue and possibly green mana. Two pieces of evidence I found to support this is a majority of human cards on innistrad are aligned to white or blue mana and the fact many werewolves are aligned to green means many humans could have also been created from green mana as well.
Considering that Wizards of the Coast, in their infinite wisdom, decided to haphazardly slam together the multiverse of Magic the Gathering and the Multiverse of Dungeons and Dragons, I now find myself contemplating playing an Innistad native should I ever wind up in a Ravenloft campaign...They'd be so bored!!
"Strahd, buddy, listen...I get it, you're a Vampire! Classic! It would work on almost anyone else...but unless you head's going to explode into a mass of tentacles or something, you're only second rate compared to what I deal with back home!"
Will you make a story about Ixalian Conquistador Vampires?
I'm SO happy for this video, innistrad was the plain where i started playing Magic. My heart is liviiiiiing #giveaway
Awesome, I love to hear it and innistrad is such an amazing plane!
