Now i finally understand the card design of Helga, skittish seer why she doesnt has scrying or a similar "seer" mechanic since she never finished her apprenticeship. Great Story recap
Oh wow, I didn't even catch that. I do wonder why they didn't use the format of the keyword Ferocious from Khans of Tarkir. If I remember correctly, it was a keyword that checked when things had power 4 or greater. IDK?
It's so nice to see all the Redwall comments. They were my favorite books growing up, I actually got to meet Brian Jacques at a local bookstore when I was in elementary school. I recently re purchased almost the entire collection of books. I absolutely love Bloomburrow because it is so close to the world of Redwall. Anyone who doesn't know Redwall but loves Bloomburrow I absolutely implore you to go find some of the books and read them. I still read them to this day and hell I'm 44 years old lol, they bring me back to childhood wonderment. 🙂
I think it’s more likely referring to Ulamog and Kozilek recovering and returning from the blind eternities since it’s plural. The mage in blue could be many things and Jace seems like a very obvious red herring since we had Ral looking for Jace during this story, but if it is Ulamog and Kozilek returning then Jace being one of the few to know about Emrakul sealed in the moon could somehow be used by Emrakul to release her bringing the end of the world (potentially the entire multiverse given the omenpaths might allow spawn to spread much more quickly and effectively).
@@Vearru Ulamog and Kozilek are dead. They met their end when Chandra burned them. So unless WotC is going to retcon it, which isn’t much of a stretch, they’re not coming back.
This is the very first set that I can remember (been playing since OG Ravnica) in which there are so many great designed Legendary Creatures that I honestly cannot choose which one I want to build as a new commander deck. It has really come down between Wildsear, the gruul Wolf that gives enchantments cascade... because Gruul Enchantress deck is something new and the Orzhov Bat legendary creature that reanimates 3cmc creatures. I think I may break-bad & start building Wildsear; cascade along with all of those enchantments that do things when you cast something from exile seems so synergistic.
More so than a Winnie the Pooh story, I'd say its more like a Redwall story. As that was a fantasy series, based on animals who were warriors, druidic healers etc.
Never knew Redwall... which is what most people saw this as. But even then this feels like it has more in common with Secret of Nimh than Winnie the Poo, at least to me.
Heh going into a new plane with little critters having anyone else turn into them as a way to balance out the plane is very much giving me Kingdom Hearts vibes
I loved your narrative and the story of Bloomburrow was intriguing. It is too bad that Zoraline the bat did .... nothing except causing problem with her sneeze.
@@OOMTG hope so. I may be biased because I like bats ( I found them very misunderstood creatures) and I like Zoraline's design (especially in the anime art version).
I thought that Wildsear (the Elemental Wolf) shown in one of the first promo artworks with the Mabel staring at him, was going to do more & actually have a card in the main set. Instead, (still listening) I haven't heard from him in the story & he was the back-up commander for the Gruul deck. I love Zoraline as well. Aggressively costed & she is pretty much 3cmc matters deck. As I said above in my post, these two characters were the ones I was torn about. I didn't know which commander deck I wanted to build... I ended up landing on Gruul Enchantress.
“Every party has the one person you wish wasn’t there, which leads us to Oliver. And as they spoke- ZAXBY’S NEW CHICKEN TACOS!!” Sorry, the ad caught me off guard and made me chuckle real good
This kinda makes me wonder if Jace actually recovered from being Compleated. This story kinda makes him seem like a villain, albeit not an immediate threat.
Finally, a fun story that explores the world we're on, showcases the new characters from that plane and raises some fun mysteries to boot Hope Glarb can come back in the future, to glarb all over these fools
@@kevin4061 i think that is more or less correct. They all need to function in unison to keep some kind of order, so when one freaks out it causes a ripple effect
Or the omens paths. We have a dragon from what we assume is Atarka's brood. So between Maha forcing her way in and the falcon dragon teleporting/shifting in, it could have weakened what ever spells protect, separated, or hid the Valley from the rest of the plane.
Great content! You showed up in my algorithm on YT for my smart TV (not logged in). Jumped over here (phone app) to subscribe. You'll be hard pressed to get rid of me 😂 You're a great storyteller/reader for Bloomburrow! Keep it up! I will watch your other content when I have more time.
i know you're already getting a shit ton of suggestions and the work you put into these vids are probably overwhelming enough as it is, but for your next Explained video would you do The Phyrexians? it would be such a good followup to the eldrazi!!!
They are on the short list for sure! But just based on how much material there is I'm trying to plan when I can actually make time to research/write etc

basically most planeswalkers lost their sparks, i think you probably can say something like 4/5 of the planeswalkers lose thri sparks, the new rule is that you only get one planeswalker card by set, to represent how rare they are now. but you still get a few planeswalkers around the multiverse

@Methus3lah just because they aren't good stories doesn't mean they don't have their own stories.
Shoutout to the entire Faction of god damn Crackhead Raccoons using artifacts as weapons.

Not reduced.... ELEVATED to an otter. How dare you insult otterhood! I challenge you to a duel sir!
Who tf I Am offended
The ungrateful fool dares insinuate the glorious form of an otter is beneath him

Isn't the author of Mouse Guard also involved in this release somehow?
I feel that way about Joe Dever’s Lone Wolf books.
This story was surprisingly good! Your narration of it is really engaging!
Thanks friend!
I'm so glad the comments informed you of Redwall. That was my favorite book series growing up and definitely why I grabbed the set.
This is a magical Red wall world, I love it!
After years of magic, im finally excited again like a kid watching an episode of pokemon for the actual story of a new set! Wonderful narration!!!
Wini the Poo? Nah this is straight up Redwall.
Yea a few comments mentioned that. I hadn't heard of Redwall before but I definitely see it!
Its good I believe the BBC did a cartoon series of the books. Also I just wanna know if after leaving did Ral stay an otter , that would be hilarious.
That, and "Mouse Guard"

Could be the fomori too
@@VearruConsidering Emrakul has the epithet the Promised End, this actually seems likely. Doesn’t mean I like it, but it seems more likely.
Bolas travels to Bloomburrow and we have to deal with a VERY confused elder dragon who has been transformed into a giant chicken.

Yooo! I'm from Bloomburrow myself! I love that town with my whole heart. Thanks for talking about my homeland.

@@kirbywithlegs98he's probably from a town or city called bloomburrow

He's definately a squirrel @@jasperf.2388
@jasperf.2388 their my neighbor we had lunch yesterday
I am absolutely obsessed with this set
This is good! Just gonna download the audio and put it in my "audiobook" folder.
Love the moonlighter music in the background. Goated game
Enjoying listening to you tell the new story
More so than a Winnie the Pooh story, I'd say its more like a Redwall story. As that was a fantasy series, based on animals who were warriors, druidic healers etc.

I loved your narrative and the story of Bloomburrow was intriguing. It is too bad that Zoraline the bat did .... nothing except causing problem with her sneeze.
I think this is like a part 1 for bloomburrow, when we return I hope we learn more about her!

I'm not sure if i'm happy about magic finally having a good story after all this time, or even more happy that the Eldrazi are coming 👀🖖
they have to start hiring (and fairly paying) good writers again.
What is "fair" pay? At the end of the day you're paid on value generated and market value, and you ultimately agree to that pay or not.
So good. Thx for the vid!!!!
Thanks friend!
This story reminded me of a final fantasy game. I love it.

0:29 someone introduce this man to the redwall series stat!
Many comments have aha I guess I just never came across it. Super cute looking tho!
I saw this set and immediately thought “oh it’s redwall”.
This was amazing ! Omfg 😭
This kinda makes me wonder if Jace actually recovered from being Compleated. This story kinda makes him seem like a villain, albeit not an immediate threat.
I've written so many stories. I'd love it if at least just one made it to an entire set or even the lore for one.
Share us your stories
No way this is so cool

Why did Eluge attack if it was Maha's egg that went missing?
I believe one beast being disturbed upsets all of them
Because they actually control the seasons and since Maha controls the night it would upset Eluge who controls the tides. I’m just guessing
@@kevin4061 i think that is more or less correct. They all need to function in unison to keep some kind of order, so when one freaks out it causes a ripple effect
Or the omens paths. We have a dragon from what we assume is Atarka's brood.

Bloomburrow is like Redwall.
How was Ral able to go to bloomburrow? I think I missed it if planeswalkers were able to planeswalk again.
Some planeswalkers didn’t lose their sparks after MOM

7:39 my theory was correct anyone that enters this plane becomes an animal of one of the animal tribes 🤔
There's no way in Hell that Wizards wasn't taking inspiration from Ori and the Blind Forest for this one.
i know you're already getting a shit ton of suggestions and the work you put into these vids are probably overwhelming enough as it is, but for your next Explained video would you do The Phyrexians? it would be such a good followup to the eldrazi!!!

Minimum deck size = ???
Maximize hand size = ??
Starting life total = ?
Range of influence = ???
Number of player = ??
Number of teammate = ?
Number of winner = ???
Restricted = ??

So apparently entering the plane of bloom burrow causes you to turn into some kind of animal.
Correct
Considering the Sinister Monolith card, I think we know what that magic polymorphed the Phyrexian invaders into. Big, scary metal trees.

i bought 38 fallout squirrel tokens for this i know it way over board but they had 38 and they were cheap lol
Am I missing something? I thought that planes walkers had lost their sparks. Please fill me in on something I’m missing
Not all. A few retained their sparks
@@Carlos-bz5oo Ohhh I see thank you
It feels a bit like an unofficial second Mending
basically most planeswalkers lost their sparks, i think you probably can say something like 4/5 of the planeswalkers lose thri sparks, the new rule is that you only get one planeswalker card by set, to represent how rare they are now. but you still get a few planeswalkers around the multiverse

It is more like RedWall
