    Hold on, how do we know Mercadia was the place Dyfed took the Halcyon elites? That was somethiing I missed completely -- I know the other settlements outside Mercadia city were brought by a dragon engine that Urza reprogrammed during the battle on argoth though.
    I also fully think that if the Mercadians remembered Volrath, they'd be happy to work with the new phyrexians

    Each invasion of each plane could have been its own set to savor the flavor, but wizards ruined it by pulling anticlimactic subversion of expectations.

    • @alecferrell2620
      @alecferrell2620 Год назад +5

      It wasn't even subversion. You could *taste* the anticlimax on the horizon. I just didn't expect them to do an Independence Day to the phyrexians. I feel like in the 90's into the early 2000's, Wizards WOULD have made this several sets. Or at least a set with a LOT of expansions to show the true scale of the invasion and the repercussion. Instead, modern magic storylines are like, single set vignettes that conclude in 2-4 consecutive sets building up the end and then the easiest-to-write-around endings possible. Forget about phyrexia, it's in turbo hell so all the millions of millions of invading armies are cut off from the mothership! Forget about Emrakul, they chilling in the moon STOP ASKING ABOUT THEM.
      Tbh I'd rather they pivot away from these flaccid multiverse threat plotlines and go back to sets focused on a single plane and the struggles of the people who live there. Or just a goofy mtg flavored natgeo wild set. They keep fumbling the bag so hard with these big stories lmao

      You can go on and play a dead game, but that won't stop me from reminiscing on how it used to be good and not just for losers who are addicted to gambling and trying to be the best at a game meant to be played in a line and not take 20 minutes a turn

      I get annoyed by your complaining because you constantly try to ruin the game for other people. It's one thing to say "I don't like this thing" it's another to say "you shouldn't enjoy this game" and you're doing the latter.

  • @ir0nleviathan577
    @ir0nleviathan577 Год назад +2

    If this set did nothing else, it proved Phyrexia is nowhere near the greatest threat in the multiverse, they got their sh*t rocked on so many planes. If they were smart, they would have attacked one plane at a time, wearing the multiverse down, forcing our heroes to fight against the clock... March of the Machine was so disappointing.

    I love the commentary using cards, quotes, and lore!
    However, I found it confusing and disorienting that art specifically tied to other planes was being shown during the discussions (e.g. Invasion of Eldraine's art being shown when discussing Pyrulea). These planes certainly have the barrier of having little art, but I kept having to rewind to make sure I wasn't getting the planes confused.
