I’m impressed! You managed to summarize Dominarías history without missing much, making it easy to follow and placing it in the context of the larger multiverse in 10 min. Bravo
Nahiri: "My home plane is wild, there are bursts of wild mana, cataclysmic events with otherwordly beings, it nearly got destroyed twice!" Teferi: " So... a regular tuesday?"
If any Planeswalker got "compleated" by the Phyrexians, and I would not be shocked, it would be Nahiri, who has already got a thing for artifacts, and is kind of a crazy person to begin with.
As someone who recently spent far too long researching Dominaria, my preferred storylines are the ones that really broke out of the Tolkienian mold, such as Mirage, Ice Age, Invasion and Time Spiral. Settings like these really demonstrate the hodge podge, anything could happen, genre-bending weirdness that I enjoy about Dominaria.
I began playing during the Onslaught block. The story was incredible. The war between a dreamborn angel and a huntress resurrected as a Cabal weapon, all onto the tapestry of a world being reshaped by the Mirari's influence, with the threat of the now resurrected slivers was such an amazing ride.
Best part of Dominaria: Squee. Anything with Squee. The fact that he’s about to go on a Jund-Themed Buddy-Cop adventure with Slimefoot makes me so unbelievably happy.
I love hearing about Magic backstory as I'm almost exclusively familiar with the game itself. Apart from marathoning these videos I'd definitely watch a movie of him sitting and talking about the history of everything in the multiverse.
Imagine, in an alternate universe or if things turned out differently, this whole history and lore of Dominaria could have been a HUUUUGE hit for the people around the world and always talked about for decades, also theorizing and keep on geeking out about it endlessly and eventually becoming a great success like the MCU 👌🏻💯🔥
My favourite period of Dominaria’s history has to be the Ice Age. The story was sỗ atmospheric and the set itself was brilliant. Thanks for another great video 👍
Favorite two blocks from that storyline are Invasion, since I started playing then and Odyssey block because it was kinda removed from what happened yet continued the story. I really miss three set blocks they told a good story
Favorite moment 🤔 definitely watching when the Phyrexians are torn to pieces and tossed in the junkyard for what they did to Tamiyo and more importantly 🥺 Ajani. I'll cherish their defeats as the best moments in history 😤
My favorite part of the Dominarian storyline was the Ice Age. I got started with playing Magic around the time of Unlimited. But I didn't REALLY get into the lore behind the game until Ice Age happened, and my cousin got me interested in the stories behind the cards. Also, the idea of an Ice Age, in any fantasy world, is just an interesting element in and of itself, in my own opinion.
I appreciate this largely abridged version of Dominaria's events. I love knowing some of the more deeper stuff and encourage others to look into it if they're interested in mtg story, but this is a nice version to have alongside other series & videos
Nice summary of Dominaria, I started MTG during the Mirari Trilogy (again Karn being Karn and throwing Dominaria in danger), it is sad that it wasn’t revisited as much as Brother’s War or the Weatherlight/Apocolypse saga.
Just from reading summaries of the older stories, the story of Odyssey and Onslaught blocks was my favorite part because it's just so weird, and I never knew what was going to happen next. For the newer stuff that I have actually read, I think Ixalan had the best story.
The teaser they released of Ajani Compleated legit made me cry. Not "tear up", full bawling, cry. I really hope we get a year or two of struggling against the Phryexians & then a way to beat them, maybe they use Tamyio to release the Eldrazi for power but get eaten & reformed or some other comeuppance. Since 2020, the plot & reality have been uncomfortably similar & overwhelming (with product to keep track of).
Could we get a video that speculates how long ajani has been a sleeper? There was a long period of time he was missing after elspeth died and maybe he went to phyrexia to lay some of his old friends enemies to waste and got corrupted into a sleeper then? He's always been passive and "hunting tezzeret" when he came back in kaladesh. Wouldn't it be neat if he was actually hunting tezzeret and on kaladesh to make sure the planar bridge was completed (compleated) and that tezzeret didn't die.
I read the story for Dominaria United and there's a pretty clear point where you can tell he's probably been compleated based on context clues in Chapter 1 vs when he rejoins the group in Chaptwr 3 or 4.
I think it occurs during the events of Dominaria United. The story of Neon Dynasty implies that Tamiyo is the Phyrexians' first success in their process for compleating planeswalkers, so at the very least there were no sleeper planeswalkers before War of the Spark.
Based on the number of cards we've already seen, I'd have to guess no. Slivers need a critical mass to be useful in draft, so a set either has a lot of them or none at all.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩i love the new background,thank you so much for these video they are really special! The story of the Rath war is my favorite chapter of Dominaria,this 30th anniversary is going to be EPIC😍🤩THANK YOUa
I'm a sucker for epic endings, and the Weatherlight Legacy Weapon strike on Yawgmoth is most definitely an epic ending. I'm so excited for the art they revealed for Dominaria Remastered, one of which is almost certainly the Legacy Weapon in action against Yawgmoth in all his cloudiness.
Probably, as many othe player, my favourite moment coincides with the set I started playing MTG. Onslaught block was, and still is, really special to me, I read the three novels of that storyline and loved the weird story (although I didn't know characters like Kamahl who was introduced earlier). They were fun times and I think magic's storytelling works best with that kind of three set structure, although it doesn't make any sense from the gaming perspective.
So was it entirely Teferi’s doing that led to the time rifts and eventually the mending? Or were there other events that contributed to the instability in the fabric of multiverse?
Ah, I was wondering if someone was going to eventually call me out on that. Those stories dropped right as I was moving from my house to an apartment, and then I moved again to another house (2,000 miles away) so the timing just wasn't great for doing a recap video. However, I'm still open to circling back and covering it if that's something people would like to see.
Thanks for your storytime, i love how you explain the stories! I've olready read the Dominaria United main lores: in the end it happens that Nicol Bolas reborn eats all the phyrexians an with what remains he build a Tour Eyfel natural size, as an antenna to planeswalk into our world and bring the peace on Earth... by cunning and manipolations, of course ;+)
When it comes to anything centered on Dominaria, I can only refer to the Time Spiral novels. That said, my favorite moment has to be when Jeska closed the final rift over Otaria, which at that point she had been so aggressive and disregarding of those she used (Radha and Multani) until she received just desserts from Leshrac. It made for a sobering moment for Jeska when she needed to confront her own demons, and had received aide from a willing Radha and Venser to close the last rift at the cost of the former's spark and her own life. Her reuniting with Kamahl in death was the cathartic icing on the cake.
Personally the new weatherlite crew are some of my favourite characters in MTG allong with Hal and Alena and Narset. I am hoping for more of them this time round.
I would love to watch a deep dive into the pre-revisionist history (essentially the first 10 novels +short stories and comics from the era) just to see how things have changed or what might still be story canon they have just forgotten about.
Favorite moment in magic history. When Karn made the sliver queen flustered and fall for him, she gave the legacy back to karn. Well I guess that's pre overlay, but semantics.
I am pretty fuzzy on my chronology, but I have read that around the time of Time Spiral, they started having sets and cards on Shandalar, because Dominaria was just too fouled up to use. They did not want all the cards and sets to depict a post apocalyptic desert. That did not fit in with the more generic sword and sorcery fantasy setting most cards and sets use.
I don’t play magic, but I love lore. I love hearing about the worlds and the wars and the magic. Is this lore in a book? Book series? Or just information gleaned while playing the game and surfing various parts of the web?
Over the years there have been both paperback books and free online web fictions, along with the flavor text on cards themselves. The best central place to read (for now anyway) is here: magic.wizards.com/en/story
Kamahl, Fist of Krosa my favorite character in Dominaria Mishra should have been mono red to go against Urza mono blue or Grixis vs Jeskai Teferi: I eat time rifts for breakfast :p
I kind of wish you gave a quick summery on what the Weatherlight does. Till now Im still confused of its purpose. Of all things Urza could have created, he created a flying boat.... and named it "the Weatherlight" ... you couldn't have given it a better kick ass name?
Hello Ryan, thanks for the recap, another great video as always. I have a question regarding Phyrexia though, you mentionned it's an artificial plane, but is it known how it was created and who did it ? Please keep it up !
I actually rember that, I think it was made by a unnamed planewalker who had a vision that the plane would be a perfect world of artificer, so they worked on that vison, however after they died, the creator of the phyexians fuss himself to the very fabric of the plane becoming a god, and hence rename it phyexiere.
So "old phyrexia" was created by an unnamed artificer. Yawgmoth found it and used it as his place to create the phyrexians. That was sealed up and then eventually destroyed. Then, the next plane was unnamed (I believe) but Karn found it. When he did, he renamed it to Mirrodian, put memnarch in charge, but accidentally brought with him a bit of oil
@@bluedog4248 yeah that pretty much a good summery of phyrexia, heck the preators even remember who gix was so that says a lot, it almost as if the oil is alive like a mindless shell that is devoid of identity absorbing ideas and remember them, wait I just came up with this while I was written chould, is new phyrexia plan is to create a god a new father of machines in a literally sense posibily one that can literally traverse worlds like the eldrazi, I mean if that there goal to create a bieng that unkillble and can descend onto many worlds then just imagine the damage, they be literally unstoppable, but then again there seen to be little evidence.
Saw the preview cards today and now I have questions. If Tamiyo was the first planeswalker to be compleated then how they have a sleeper agent planeswalker?
Even if tamio was completed she was completed on phyrexia, ajani must've been completed on dominaria. Also he look like him normal self until the karn removed the metal around the sylax. So if you saw tamio then you can tell she's a phyrexian unlike ajani until his turn
There's something i'm not getting, what does it mean to be "completed"? (in the story sense, not the card ability). It's like the phyrexians control the completed creature? how?
I guess your a fairly new player or at least to the lore. Something is compleated when it simply becomes phyrexian. Phyresis is a disease of sorts, it's an oil called the glistering oil that corrupts the things it touches(specially fluids) to transform those things into more oil. In organic beings this makes them grow artificial metalic parts and in metal it makes it grow psuedo biological parts and gains sentince. Zombie like, once someone is contaminated by the phyresis they start seeing it as blessing and see themselves as more advanced beings. Someone gets compleated and the final stage of the disease when they seek or are forced to(if the phyrexians need to compleat them fast) undergo a surgery in where they heavenly modify their bodies to add to them anything they liked: giant claws, armor, cannons, extra limbs and whatever. When it's finalized, the individual feels whole on a whole other level, they feel as powerful and perfect as they have never felt before and the feeling doesn't go away. A little strange or a comparison but you know how when a trans person undergoes operation and afterward they feel like their real self for the rest of their lives? It's a similar feeling, the know feel compleat and that's the reason the phyrexians call it that way. Compleated beings feel pity for other not compleated beings so they seek to expand the blessing of compleation and that's their objective as a thread, to compleat everything. Hope this helps.
@@MagicArcanum also hey Ryan i hope u look back on this video a couple times cuz u said “that’s a story for another time” at least 6 times this video so it seems like ur sitting on a lot of storytime videos that i can’t wait to see 👍🏻😁
Imagine going into your LGS on Friday night with your shirt (and deck sleeves) matching your favorite commander deck, only to discover it's too powerful a deck for the group. Do you play it
It is left open to speculation. The most popular theory is that they got to him sometime after the big peace summit, when he jumped out the window and chased a phyrexian, and got separated from everyone else. That would mean he was a sleeper by the time he showed up again later in the story, at the camp with Danitha.
My favorite story from Dominaria is the original Weatherlight Saga, running from Weatherlight to Apocalypse. It was my favorite era in magic, a zoom in on a small team of mortal heroes in a wide, strange multiverse. I loved Tahngarth, despite him never getting a decent card, just for being the Worf of the crew. It all seemed like a great way to explore that universe, and I'm sorry they never returned to that format. It even had a brief comic book!
I loved the brothers war book and that whole era. I started playing magic then and in the ice age/mirage/rath era. I had a really hard time coming back to magic after about a 10 year gap after mercadian masks only to find that planeswalkers were a) superbloodycommon now and b) not immortal c) lots of my favorite characters died in horrible ways or did terrible things. I think I've never really forgiven most of the gatewatch for being so utterly mediocre.

I cannot WAIT for the full coverage of the story for Dominaria United. Things are intense! And that's an understatement.
The rise of akroma from the images of ixildor lover was awesome. Real talk. Odyssey and onslaught block as a collective narrative was amazing.
I began playing with Odyssey. A great time to come in. Beginning of a new story, and enough lore already there to fall into.
I began playing during the Onslaught block. The story was incredible. The war between a dreamborn angel and a huntress resurrected as a Cabal weapon, all onto the tapestry of a world being reshaped by the Mirari's influence, with the threat of the now resurrected slivers was such an amazing ride.
A history of Dominaria in 10 minutes, I'm suspicious
Starts at 1:33
As should the Dominarians with the Sleeper Agents…
I'm assuming heavily (very heavily) abridged
*A* history, not *the* history aha
I would listen to a whole audiobook narrated by your fantastic voice!

Very Good summarize, simple and True, thanks you for sharing this.
You mentioned slivers and i gasped so hard i almost passed out! Any chance we're getting more slivers with this set?!

So was it entirely Teferi’s doing that led to the time rifts and eventually the mending? Or were there other events that contributed to the instability in the fabric of multiverse?
Each of the rifts was caused by some catastrophe, and in almost every case a planeswalker was involved, though not always Teferi.

i just cant wait to find out that Tezzeret was actually Mishra the whole time, maybe with amnesia or something.
I kind of wish you gave a quick summery on what the Weatherlight does. Till now Im still confused of its purpose. Of all things Urza could have created, he created a flying boat.... and named it "the Weatherlight" ... you couldn't have given it a better kick ass name?

Imagine going into your LGS on Friday night with your shirt (and deck sleeves) matching your favorite commander deck, only to discover it's too powerful a deck for the group.
Do you play it
Yes, and I turn my shirt inside out.
My favourite moment fron Dominaria is when the planeswalkers joined up for the mending while screaming "ITS MENDIN TIME!"
I'm so upset with the phyrexians right now. Took moon mommy, and cat dad.
So what I'm hearing is war of the spark was teferjs fault
I suppose in a very roundabout way, you could say that, sure.
... so was Ajani like always a sleeper agent or was he corrupted and turned bad
It is left open to speculation. The most popular theory is that they got to him sometime after the big peace summit, when he jumped out the window and chased a phyrexian, and got separated from everyone else. That would mean he was a sleeper by the time he showed up again later in the story, at the camp with Danitha.

I had a really hard time coming back to magic after about a 10 year gap after mercadian masks only to find that planeswalkers were a) superbloodycommon now and b) not immortal c) lots of my favorite characters died in horrible ways or did terrible things. I think I've never really forgiven most of the gatewatch for being so utterly mediocre.
:D
