this series is 9 years old now. my wife is very into MTG and I've tried to get into the game multiple times since i was a kid but it never clicked for me. the lore has always fascinated me though, and I wanted to learn it better so I could still talk with my wife about plot developments as new blocks and sets come out. from a decade in the future, thank you so much for starting this series 🙏♥️
@@TheManaSource you should bring this series back. You did awesome work I'd love to see a video of the lore on changeling, shape shifters, lorewyn, morophon and where it's from.
I've wanted to do something like this for years, but never had the time or resources. Fantastic job guys, pumped for the next one (brothers war was my favorite magic book :D)
Would anyone happen to have or know of a list of books, comics, and whatever else may be out there that makes up the canon of Magic the Gathering? These videos will be immensely helpful, but a list of material that I could enjoy myself would be awesome.
I've been playing MTG for a while, but this is the first time I've started trying to dig in a learn more of the greater lore. I really liked vid! Thran is fucking tragic, good lord lol.
Hello, I just wanted to say that I really appreciate and like that you take the time to make these videos. It has greatly increased my knowledge of the back story and help me connect some of the dots. The only thing I wish is that you would add all the lore videos to your lore playlist. I wasn't sure why there seemed to be a huge gap in the lore videos so I just assumed that it was a lack of "lore" available but then I stumbled across another one of your videos. After that I systematically went through every video until I found all the lore videos and watched them all. none of the tarkir videos and none of the planeswalker videos and maybe more are in the lore playlist.
I just finished reading the book and can say you nailed the retelling. I could have just watched the video and gotten everything important. Rate your work :)
Very awesome story... I've heard about the Magic books a lot of times, but my local card shop doesn't have them, and any time I buy something online it ends up being cards. Keep em' coming.
What a great job! I recognise one card so far which is thran golem! I heard there were comics about this but i never found them. thanks for making this!!!!!! LIKE SO HE CAN SEE!
darn you yagmath you evil being created the phirexians who destroyed mirrodin but WOTC loves a good back story hope to see a clash between the phirexians and the eldrazi in the future
So awesome.... I have got to go read these novels. I came into magic as they were being phased out, which is really depressing. Great video, sharing it with all my mtg playing friends.
I used to play mtg when I was like 9 and I totally lost track after the 4th edition, but these videos are great! I love them because I like to watch youtube before I fall asleep, but if I watch something interesting, it keeps me up. These are perfect because I'm always out on the first one and it only takes like 2 minutes so I can just keep rewatching this one every night. I never make it to the end. Keep up the good work! I'll stay snoring!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Magic:_The_Gathering_novels I'm new-ish to magic and sorry if it's a dumb question but should these books be read in order? Should some be skpped? Just wondering what would be best for someone who has never read any of the books yet.
Thank you! I loved MTG cards in highschool, i've always found them very amazing with all the fantastic artworks and the high level content, but I never really understood the lore. +1 Subscriber sry my broken english.
I´m actually reading Jace´s "Agents of Artifice" book (with no promo, though :(), and the thing is... there´s many people who play and don´t know the history, but when you do know, the game gets more fun! And the thing is... the history is pretty damn good too! Great great great series this one will be!
Hey thanks for the video series. I like it when you use the artwork of the cards to illustrate the characters and the story. Its very cool. But from what I remember reading from the story and your summary I remember it being a little different. SPOILERS BELOW: I was just wondering, I read somewhere else that the reason why Mirri sacrificed herself was because earlier she had a vision that said that either she would die or the man she loved would die (Gerard) and when she was fighting Crovax when she saw Gerard coming after her she knew that the prophecy/vision would come true and instead of letting Gerard die she decided to let herself die to save him. Is this correct, is it just an alternate continuity, or is it you were just kind of summarizing the whole story and kind of let this detail slide since you were summarizing the whole thing in about 10 minutes? Thanks!
There is a ton of controversy about where you should start. After weighing all of the options, I chose the storyline that covers the Weatherlight Saga. The Thran, while printed later, is a prequel to that entire affair :)

Unf I love how you put up cards on the screen to relate to the story. Freaking goosebumbs when I see a card I've owned for 10 years.
Me too!
@@TheManaSource you should continue this series!!!
@@TheManaSource you should bring this series back. You did awesome work I'd love to see a video of the lore on changeling, shape shifters, lorewyn, morophon and where it's from.
We are going to try to release these videos every Sunday by popular demand! ;)
Thats great news. Really looking forward to it :D Keep up the awesome work :)
More I'm starving for some lore!
This coming Sunday! Look out for it :)
Please do! :DD
We just ran out of time. The next one is coming, please have mercy. lol
I'm going to admit something embarrassing: I've been playing MTG for my entire life and yet I know nothing about the lore......
Same...
Same dude
this is like the best series I could ever possibly ask for! I always wished they still did books for the sets now like they use to
Me too ! I loved buying myself a Fat Pack and getting the novel that came with it.
I've wanted to do something like this for years, but never had the time or resources. Fantastic job guys, pumped for the next one (brothers war was my favorite magic book :D)
Thanks! We're really excited to get it off the ground. I love Magic lore :)
Please, please do justice to the Brother's War. Give it the time it needs. It's my favorite story.
Good job as always!
watching this 9 yrs after being released, loving it! kudos
This is now my favorite series of anything ever, im super exited to see the rest of it, good job wedge!
Thank you!
Ive watched all these videos a total of 4 times now. They're amazingly entertaining and help relax when i can sleep. Thanks wedge
Would anyone happen to have or know of a list of books, comics, and whatever else may be out there that makes up the canon of Magic the Gathering? These videos will be immensely helpful, but a list of material that I could enjoy myself would be awesome.
this is the answer to our prayers!! thank you so much for doing this!
Always wanted to know more about the lore, but was too lazy to read all the books.
This is amazing, keep up the good work.
Its about time someone tryed to tell a little bit of the story behind the game I love it and cant wait for the rest thanks guys
I'm so watching all of these. Wanted the whole lore, short on time. Thankies
I am just SO glad I decided to watch this! I will most likely go through the whole series by the end of the day, great job.
I've been playing MTG for a while, but this is the first time I've started trying to dig in a learn more of the greater lore. I really liked vid! Thran is fucking tragic, good lord lol.

I have been asking for someone to do this for forever thank you all deities. ever
I just finished reading the book and can say you nailed the retelling. I could have just watched the video and gotten everything important. Rate your work :)
Give us MORE! Give us LORE! thanks for your great videos mana source.. thank you m8
Man, thinking about it, what Yawgmoth does to Dyfed to find her "planeswalking organ" is super brutal and grotesque.
Awesome, I am looking forward to future videos.
These were so awesome, when will you continue these?
After spoilers are over :)
Very awesome story... I've heard about the Magic books a lot of times, but my local card shop doesn't have them, and any time I buy something online it ends up being cards. Keep em' coming.
I love this! I always love a good story I never got to read the books so it helps. I can't wait for the next one
Woo! Can't wait for Zendikar and Mirrodon blocks! Thanks for doing this =)
Awesome awesome. I was really looking for a series that would lay out the lore and storylines like this. Thank you! Keep em coming!
woah, this is really awesome! super exited for further videos! Really love how you incorporate the card images with the lore!
What a great job! I recognise one card so far which is thran golem! I heard there were comics about this but i never found them. thanks for making this!!!!!! LIKE SO HE CAN SEE!
darn you yagmath you evil being created the phirexians who destroyed mirrodin but WOTC loves a good back story hope to see a clash between the phirexians and the eldrazi in the future
Great video - finally some easily digestible Magic lore :)
Amazing, such a great idea!
Give us more! I'm looking forward to the next lore video!

I started buying these books after seeing these videos. Waiting for The Shattered Alliance to arrive.

This is amazing.
So awesome.... I have got to go read these novels. I came into magic as they were being phased out, which is really depressing. Great video, sharing it with all my mtg playing friends.

this is nice since i don't want to go back all the way back to the oldest books, thought i'm reading the new ones and they are mostly very enjoyable
Don't know how I got here from watching Pokemon Card unboxing videos, but im Lovin it.
Really good series, keep it up
I loved this video mate. Please keep em coming! (more card art to support as well if possible :D)
There will be more card art in the next one! The Thran was set 5,000 years before the story really began...super hard to get pictures :p
I love this! I don't care to read the books, but I do find the backstory interesting. Great idea. Keep em coming!
You are a genius, I hope this releases in a timely fashion!! :D
We are aiming for once a week on Sundays! :)
have been trying to understand the lore, and videos like these really help keep it up :)
This was the best. Thanks guys.
This is the walk down memory lane i wanted
omg!!! I have been waiting for a series like this since youtube was invented!!!!
well, this and, "Dies to Removal"!!!!!
So glad you're doing this :D
TY for this i love the MTG but is prety confusing sometimes.
Yawgmoth is the best villain period.Sorry Nicol but you got nothing on the Lord of Wastes

This is brilliant. Bringing the community so much more. (y)

Yawgmoth is my man.
Stopped paying attention to Lore during the Odyssey block. M going to follow this til it catches me up!

Wedge like from Star Wars? Nice video btw. Subbed!

will you guys be doing those very first novels? the trilogy that ended with 'final sacrifice'?
Please make more this kind of films
The next episode comes out this Sunday!
This guy's pretty funny, I enjoy the writing.
Huh... was this what you were talking about when you said you were working on somethin? Damn, I do like it...
;)
Awesome!
Awesome I love this
answers some questions i've had, thanks
TheManaSource Love that you're starting to do lore! but isnt there several novels that came before The Thran?
There is a ton of controversy about where you should start. After weighing all of the options, I chose the storyline that covers the Weatherlight Saga. The Thran, while printed later, is a prequel to that entire affair :)
MOOOOORRRRRREEEEE!!!! I want more!!!!
I'm new to MTG and I am attempting to learn the storyline in order to get a better grasp of everything. Are these videos to explain the storyline?!
i love this!
1:22
Glaceon? Like... the Pokémon?
