+DarkDragon12 it's Jhin. I don't play adc like ever but he's my favorite one to play along with lucian and if you follow the marksman thing then Kindred
It's not a plothole with what Liliana said. That she couldn't make them leave. She loves Innistrad, treats it like a home. If Innistrad would fall, she'd be lost once again. She needs the gatewatch, she needs Jace, she just doesn't want to fully admit it. Deception, a core aspect of black mana, doesn't just mean lying to protect a secret or to gain the upper hand. It can also be used to protect your insecurities. If anything, Liliana is U/B/W as well as Jace. She has good in her, but is insecure about it. Fearing that showing her kindness makes her look weak.
Seiben, your channel has been super helpful to me as a DM, I'm putting together a campaign for Planeshift Innistrad and your Lore videos have kept me informed and inspired! I'll be using the Order of St. Traft as a story hook for my players, I'm trying to think of how I can fit the gatewatch into my game.... keep the videos coming!
Seiben another great lore video. Just subed to the channel a couple weeks ago and have not been disappointed. Started playing EDH 3 years ago and it really got me to wonder about the over all story. Glad I found this channel I've learned a lot about MTG's lore and how epic and tragic the stories can be its awesome. Keep up the great work I look forward to the next video and would love to see one about Ral Zarek if you haven't done one already.
Once again, Seiban, you have delivered an amazing rundown on the lore of our beloved Magic: The Gathering. If there is anything I can do to help, I shall. Keep up the amazing bardic way of reciting this epic tale!
I really like how each of the characters at the end reflect the alliances of their colors: Gideon and Nissa are mistrusting of Liliana, while Chandra is grateful and Jace wants to respect both the neighboring white and black planeswalkers. Love it!
I'm glad I found this channel yesterday, just in time for FNL! I had to subscribe! Go on with the excellent job ;) (also, thank you for your American: I can understand it even though I'm Italian. Thank you very much! :) )
I like how Liliana's story is coming along, and how she ends up with the gatewatch. can't wait to find out what happens next, Thanks Seiben Great Work.
Great video! I don't really enjoy reading that much, but I still like to keep up with the story in MtG. Your videos makes that really easy and enjoyable. :)
The thing I think with Lili at the end of the video there is that I totally agree with you Sieben. She could *easily* make the Gatewatch leave but I don't think she wants to. She would love to have their help in her demon/chain veil problem. Having a set of 4 powerful planeswalkers to help her is I think why she didn't force them. Yes she doesn't want them to be here but I think that she figures that if they're so stubborn as to not flee a "doomed world" then she could at least help for now, score some good karma with the Gatewatch and if the situation turns for the worse, planeswalk away as was her plan originally. Also: she probably still has a bit of a thing for Jace. :P
I'm essentially rejoining the world of MTG after several years of not playing and I've found I'm very behind on the lore. In fact, the last time I really followed it was New Phyrexia. Seiben, your videos are awesome! They let me catch up on the lore in a really quick and entertaining format. Thanks!
Darkness is their only hope :) I love how the idealistic Gatewatch is striking an alliance with Liliana... and the flavor text on her Oath card is pure awesomeness :D
Love lili's card cant wait to make a zombie deck. I like that you do these videos for those people who do not have the time to read the stories and help them keep up with whats going on in a set. Great work.
Sweet, finally catching up on the lore, id much rather listen to someone explain it to me instead of reading it myself :). Plus a possible reward for tuning in? awesome!
I love this story! I think Liliana coming from nowhere and showing off to the Gatewatch was brilliant. But I think she's doing this for more then the obvious. She wants help with the chain veil's power over her, so getting the Gatewatch to owe her could be exactly the leverage she needs to find results in that. She's knocking out 2 problems in one. defeating Emrakrul and getting help with her cursed power source. She's brilliantly holding all the cards in this one.
I know the set symbol is supposed to look like an adorable little Emrakul, but every time I look at it all I see is Liliana's headband and hair curling behind it. I love the new Liliana card. The abilities are strong, the cost is great, and the art is gorgeous and really exudes self-confidence. I'm glad Lily is joining the Gatewatch. Her power does compliment the Gatewatch's other members'.
I really like this new version of Liliana; she saved my butt in the pre-release more than once. I like The Last Hope second only to Liliana of the Veil in terms of both gameplay and artwork. I really want to see The Last Hope in foil, as I imagine it would look simply beautiful. I also like Lili as a character. She's such a magnificent (insert unkind word here) that she's just wonderful to have as a frenemy in the story. Thanks for the videos, Seiben! Looking forward to more! ^_^
Liliana understands that the threat of Emrakul is something that could ruin her plans and aspirations. She's teasing the Gatewatch, finding out for herself who this powerful group of planeswalkers really are and what their intentions are besides fighting the Eldrazi. Liliana would never admit it and doesn't like asking but she needs help and so she gets it but on her terms as much as possible. Really happy to see them flesh out Liliana more, showing she is a complex figure who tip-toes the line between being a hero and villain
Liliana had always been one of the fun characters in lore. I just wonder what will happen her afterwards, since she wants to get rid of Chain Veil. I secretly suspect that maybe this artifact somehow will be the reason to visit Chandra's home plane in the next block. Either way Liliana, the Last Hope card can be crazy strong with her last ability. You don't even have to run that many zombies in your deck. Just love it
I think this story is just a foreground to the major parts of the story. I cannot wait for the next part of this story and see what they do together to capture Emrakul.
I can't wait for next week's story!!! Does the new Gatewatch meet/free Sorin? When does Tamiyo come in with her plan, and why hasn't Sorin thought of this before if he had the foresight to use the moon to make the Helvault?! So many questions!!!!
The new Liliana card will make for a good start to a Zombie deck. Her and Sorin are my favorite plains walkers so this story line is gold for me so far. Got to love all the recent updates also. Gives me something to watch at work. Or at least start watching. Thanks for all the Lores
Absolutely love Liliana. I'll admit I was hoping for some other abilities during spoiler season, but I could definetly use her new card, nonetheless. Keep the lore coming, Seiben.
"I see that we are more powerful working together than separately. So if this means I can do what I need to without resorting to the Chain Veil, I'll keep watch. Happy now?"-Oath of Lilliana, full version
it's cool to see Lilliana join the Gatewatch, they could use some necromancy in there. and just imagine the possibilities, Lilliana and Chandra could make a horde of FLAMING ZHAMBIES! now that'd be awesome!
I just love Liliana's sarcastic tone when it comes to talking to the Gatewatch. I also love how they're doing Eldrazi vs. Zombies even though I don't like Eldrazis the story is still interesting.
Hope we get to see Innistrad next time with a lot of different cults, as there seem to be the Skirsdarg, Avacyns Inquisition, Emrakuls Cultists and the Stromkirk Vampires now
wonder who will be the next to join the gatewatch, or if the story arch will come to a close with the new set. how do you think the gatewatch continue or end?
I loved Liliana in this story and how sarcastic she sounds when she sees jace again.
is that a Jhin mask as your profile pic or have I played too much League?
+DarkDragon12 it's Jhin. I don't play adc like ever but he's my favorite one to play along with lucian and if you follow the marksman thing then Kindred
Nice pfp, you play jhin mid or adc?
Nathan Shepherd i play him mid more because i don't like the whole bot lane carry role. I'm a support and mid main and adc isnt really my thing
Just spent a few hours watching your lore videos. subscribed. thanks for all your work!
It's not a plothole with what Liliana said. That she couldn't make them leave. She loves Innistrad, treats it like a home. If Innistrad would fall, she'd be lost once again. She needs the gatewatch, she needs Jace, she just doesn't want to fully admit it.

oh wow this set is intense. thanks for making us a great vid seiben! that new liliana looks crazy good
would be cool to see a gatewatch card, pentacolored "planeswalker" with the 5 of them in the art
Super glad you do these. I don't always have time to read the stories and love that I can listen to it while I'm at work.
love the way you sum up and tell these stories. great background noise as I sort cards and build decks! thanks!!
"The nice lady with the uncomfortable dress just saved our butts, Gideon. Calm down a second." - Chandra
Seiben, your channel has been super helpful to me as a DM, I'm putting together a campaign for Planeshift Innistrad and your Lore videos have kept me informed and inspired! I'll be using the Order of St. Traft as a story hook for my players, I'm trying to think of how I can fit the gatewatch into my game.... keep the videos coming!
so glad i found this channel few weeks ago. great narration and the quiet music in the back really adds atmosphere :)
Seiben another great lore video. Just subed to the channel a couple weeks ago and have not been disappointed. Started playing EDH 3 years ago and it really got me to wonder about the over all story.

man i love your FNL's Seiben just something about how you tell the story is just awesome to listen too. Keep up the amazing work
I'm not one for reading every story that WotC releases for the set, so your vids are pretty good to catch up on what's happening.
Thanks man!
Once again, Seiban, you have delivered an amazing rundown on the lore of our beloved Magic: The Gathering. If there is anything I can do to help, I shall. Keep up the amazing bardic way of reciting this epic tale!
My favorite thing about liliana is probably the flavor text on her oath, "I'll keep watch, happy now?"
I really like how each of the characters at the end reflect the alliances of their colors: Gideon and Nissa are mistrusting of Liliana, while Chandra is grateful and Jace wants to respect both the neighboring white and black planeswalkers. Love it!
I like that saying " I came, your alive, you owe me"
I'm glad I found this channel yesterday, just in time for FNL! I had to subscribe! Go on with the excellent job ;)
(also, thank you for your American: I can understand it even though I'm Italian. Thank you very much! :) )
Awesome video as always, love how you go so in depth with the lore!
I like how Liliana's story is coming along, and how she ends up with the gatewatch. can't wait to find out what happens next, Thanks Seiben Great Work.

This weeks lore was one of my favorites I loved seeing the Gatewatch interact with Liliana and how she came to their rescue with a horde of zombies
Is the Gatewatch team here to stay? I'd like to see some new walkers make some waves and the spotlight!
Love watching this channels videos to keeping up with the mtg lore.
Love lili's card cant wait to make a zombie deck. I like that you do these videos for those people who do not have the time to read the stories and help them keep up with whats going on in a set. Great work.
I'm pretty happy that all the elements have come together in the gate watch and it's my favorite planes Walker too :)

Nice to see some new lore here for the first time in a while
Great work, as always. I always enjoy listening to the latest lore.
The story is finally starting to lead to the battle with Emrakul! Thats a nice card you got there 🙂
really enjoy the lores, thanks and keep up the good work. Story is getting quite interesting now.
I love what Liliana brings to the table for the gate watch, it is going to be awesome watching her interactions with them.
I really like this new version of Liliana; she saved my butt in the pre-release more than once. I like The Last Hope second only to Liliana of the Veil in terms of both gameplay and artwork.

Thanks for the videos, Seiben! Looking forward to more! ^_^
Awesome video Seiben! Eldritch Moon hype!
Great videos. They always give interesting insight into what is going on behind the cards.
Amazing vid as always. Love the new Liliana. She's my favorite of the planwswalkers.
I just wanna hear Liliana say the flavor text of her Oath card. "I'll keep watch. Happy now?" Haha, so sassy.
Liliana understands that the threat of Emrakul is something that could ruin her plans and aspirations. She's teasing the Gatewatch, finding out for herself who this powerful group of planeswalkers really are and what their intentions are besides fighting the Eldrazi.

Really happy to see them flesh out Liliana more, showing she is a complex figure who tip-toes the line between being a hero and villain
Seiben, Love the channel and the lore, keep up the good work!
Great channel, where do you find the articles that all this interesting lore comes from???
I am just glad we have someone with some depth in the "Super Friends"
Liliana had always been one of the fun characters in lore. I just wonder what will happen her afterwards, since she wants to get rid of Chain Veil. I secretly suspect that maybe this artifact somehow will be the reason to visit Chandra's home plane in the next block. Either way Liliana, the Last Hope card can be crazy strong with her last ability. You don't even have to run that many zombies in your deck. Just love it
I love how bluntly sarcastic they made Lili, the story was a lil lack luster this week but hopefully its just a bridge piece to something awesome
Great video! It was immersive and suspenseful
I think this story is just a foreground to the major parts of the story. I cannot wait for the next part of this story and see what they do together to capture Emrakul.
I really like the art of the new liliana, her old cards made her look like a creepy granny
Well, she was
+The Dracogenius she is
+Mega Punch I don't care she was scary
Yeah, she looks more like the beauty she's supposed to be.
likewise
I can't wait for next week's story!!! Does the new Gatewatch meet/free Sorin? When does Tamiyo come in with her plan, and why hasn't Sorin thought of this before if he had the foresight to use the moon to make the Helvault?! So many questions!!!!
Hey Seiben definitely enjoying the lore or magic. your videos are very enjoyable.
Good video ! Probably my favorite Liliana's card ! This illustration is beautiful *_*
Love that set, the story, seeing the gatewatch in struggle!
The new Liliana card will make for a good start to a Zombie deck. Her and Sorin are my favorite plains walkers so this story line is gold for me so far. Got to love all the recent updates also. Gives me something to watch at work. Or at least start watching. Thanks for all the Lores
I think that it is awesome that wizards are finding a way to make lily get some love in the lore while also including emrakul
They need to make this into a show/anime/movie. There's REALLY good material here!
Liliana's response is one to be easily expected, love her card and her oath card.
This story was pretty interesting. It shows that the gatewatch has to reform their strategies to adjust for the new plane.
this is a great channel so keep up the good work because I have no other way to get lore I don't know we're to go online
i'm addicted to your stories , keep it up I love it!!!
Liliana is such a badass in this set. She is all sarcastic and not giving a care in the world about anything. It's amazing
love the lore seib. keep it coming!
Nice show, just got into magic and this is definitely helping me understand the world.
i really hope tibalt shows up and becomes an eldrrazi
Definitely some plot holes! Can't wait to hear more! Thanks for making these lore videos!
Absolutely love Liliana. I'll admit I was hoping for some other abilities during spoiler season, but I could definetly use her new card, nonetheless.
Keep the lore coming, Seiben.
Love magic lore thanks for the cliff notes keep up the good work
I gotta get a tatoo of Jace and Liliana doing the macabre waltz... ooooo or the monster mash lol
Great Vids! Keep them up, i always love to listen to them when im driving, great to kill time!
your voice,and formula of videos really reminds me of comicstorian. Take it as a compliment because I love both these channels
Liliana is amazing! Can't wait to see the story unfold!
Great stuff man! Keep it up!
Liliana is great, I love that she is use to make the gatewatch more interesting
I cant wait to see how Tamiyo comes in and helps the Gatewatch.
"I see that we are more powerful working together than separately. So if this means I can do what I need to without resorting to the Chain Veil, I'll keep watch. Happy now?"-Oath of Lilliana, full version
Love seeing Liliana coming to the rescue. Finally showing that death magic and zombies are not as weak as people think.
I highly enjoy these last two sets. They will help my mill/recursion decks a lot.
I cant wait to see how the whole store of the Chain Vail plays out with her :D
like watching your stuff it is nice and easy to listen while doing other things instead of just reading it you've saved me time
really liked the way liliana greeted Jace, that's so Liliana
I've been waiting for The lore to reach this point ever since the trailer for eldritch moon was released
it's cool to see Lilliana join the Gatewatch, they could use some necromancy in there.
and just imagine the possibilities, Lilliana and Chandra could make a horde of FLAMING ZHAMBIES! now that'd be awesome!
I just love Liliana's sarcastic tone when it comes to talking to the Gatewatch. I also love how they're doing Eldrazi vs. Zombies even though I don't like Eldrazis the story is still interesting.
I really like the way Liliana is fighting! (Or, sending zombies at the enemies) xD
Hope we get to see Innistrad next time with a lot of different cults, as there seem to be the Skirsdarg, Avacyns Inquisition, Emrakuls Cultists and the Stromkirk Vampires now
Can't wait to see the Gatewatch completed!
Gideon's face is priceless. but what i really wonder is if nissa will change with the intense contact of the plane's black mana.
Your videos are the best! Love the new lore, keep up the good work bro
Love your videos! Best lore ones out there. Hey you going to be at scg Baltimore next weekend?
Lily is my favorite planeswalker. She's the reason I got into magic during the first innistrad block.
I would want to learn about the plan to imprison Emrakul in the moon and like you stated in an older video would a planeswalker also be imprisoned
I'm happy there developing Lilian's story and personality more
Surprised Jace didnt immediately say "This is why I couldnt help you earlier" when she first saw the eldrazi's.
Great video seiben!
wonder who will be the next to join the gatewatch, or if the story arch will come to a close with the new set. how do you think the gatewatch continue or end?
Liliana Vess is the reason why i started to play Magic The Gathering.
So reading/listening about her lore Makes me Love her even more.
Another good lore, thanks seiben. :)
