I've loved seeing your development as a content creator. No one does magic lore deep dives like you. Thank you for your time and effort here.
I appreciate the kind words and support! Always trying to improve the content for you all
So when I reread The Brothers' War novel recently, one of the things I had really forgotten was how before traveling to Argoth, Urza was showing a lot of regret and self awareness about just how brutal he had been. He had thought he was better than Mishra, as he only committed many of the atrocities and war crimes because it was the only way to keep pace with Mishra. But the thing is, the worst possible thing for those around Urza happened. He was proven right; Mishra was an inhuman monster and Urza was justified in his actions to defeat him at any cost. And that is the philosophy that carried for the rest of his days, where he mercilessly sacrificed entire planes, manipulated blood lines to engineer his own perfect soldiers, toyed with the fabric of reality itself, treated the people around him as nothing but resources or tools to use and cast aside when he was finished with them, and wrecked untold havoc and damage in his single minded goal to destroy Phyrexia. It really sets up the character arc right at the beginning, even if the original authors probably hadnt intended it.
And probably the only thing that can be called a glimmer of redemption,is that karn,one of urzas greatest creations probably upheld his legacy the best, because he was the polar opposite of both brothers
Karn felt pity for others,desired to help people and inprove life,hell mirrodin prior to new phyrexia other then memnarch lived in reletive peace while he was elsewhere
And even through it all,karn truely held kindness in some facet,whilst urza had no choice but to do some messed up shit to even have a prayer of fighting phyrexia and ending yawgmoth
lol i do not think Urza was justified in using any method to defeat mishra. in the end urza did catastrophic damage to dominaria killing millions of people in the process, as well as leaving a massive power vaccum that allowed factions like the cabal, orcs and goblinsto take power and commit even more atrocities.
The Brother's War will always be my favorite magic lore. I love Urzas journey so much. Great job.
Appreciate it!
Man you really know how to weave the lore of magic in such an engaging and entertaining way. I was entranced every second of this video. Love the work you all do!
Thanks so much, I appreciate it and love to hear that you enjoy the storytelling!
a good day when there's a new lorebrarians video
You are without a doubt the best mtg lore channel there is. Doing in depth research into how the lore is woven into the cards making the videos so much more interesting. It also helps that your voice is very nice to listen to.
Thanks, I appreciate it! Glad you enjoy the content
I've been playing this game on and off since the latter end of the mid '90s. Never once did I look into the story behind it until just in recent weeks. I've really missed out. Thanks for making these comprehensive videos. I can't get enough of them.
I appreciate it and am so glad to hear you enjoy!
Amazing work, as usual by now. However, my favorite part of the video is the thorough exploration of the personal development. Most lore channels go for the “Mishra bad” and “Uhm actually Urza is a villain” without much depth. I appreciate a lot the effort you put in highlighting the personal experience of characters and understanding how they arrive to certain attitudes or less flattering personality traits. Bravo.
Appreciate it! I like to give time to more thoroughly explore character/idea development in the videos and am happy to hear you enjoy
I just wanna say how amazing your channel is, you’ve brought magics lore to life in a way that no one I’ve watched has ever done. All of your content is just so detailed in an interesting way.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate the kind words and am glad the videos help enrich your experience with this great game!
Saheeli is a sleeper and the new Sylex will spread glistening oil throughout the multiverse.
38:20 Urza's son you say? Who knows, could be somebody else's!
As a 4th edition/ice age player… it’s nearly impossible to get back into it. It’s just too much.
God I love Urza's Saga. Well, the whole Phyrexian Saga I should say.
Your best narration yet! I've heard this aspect of Magic lore numerious times, but your take on the most influential saga in the game really stands out. Proud to be a subscriber, keep up the outstanding work!!
Thanks so much, I appreciate it and am always happy to hear you enjoy!
love your videos I've been playing magic for 12 years and only now I learn about the story of my favorite game thank you
Glad you enjoy it!
This channel really does the best videos on Magic's lore and story. Love how you show the cards which reference the story which is something I find a lot of other channels don't do.
Thank you and I'm glad you enjoy the content
Been playing MTG for years but always found the lore too much to wade into. Your channel has really helped me deepen my understanding in the regard in a digestible format.
Don't play MTG, know nothing of lore, got on through vids about colours of MTG, now listening to this. It's incredible. Can't shake off how awesome a strategy game about this conflict could be. Amazing video. Subscribed.
Thanks so much for the support and welcome to the channel. MTG has a lot of cool stories within
I dunno.......I kinda think urza lost his head over this
Another awesome video!! Also love the comment courtesy part and appreciate the shoutout :). You’re really putting out such great content, happy to see it keep coming :)
Of course, really appreciate the community support and wanted to give a little back! Glad you enjoyed the vid
I love being able to relax and watch these videos. These are wonderful learning experiences that have me walking away at the end feeling like I learned something new about this card game I like playing. Please keep working hard and we appreciate all of your efforts.
The goal of the channel is to educate through exploration and I love to hear when people leave enriched, appreciate it!
Love the video! Thanks team!!
Of course, happy to hear you enjoyed!
I have watched you grow as a creator. From your first video till now I will always be a loyal fan.
Thanks for the long-time support, hope to continue to improve and share great tales with you all
I was just wondering when this video was coming out, looking forward to watching!
Hope you enjoyed!
Amazing video. Thanks!
Always a pleasure to learn about lore :)
I jusy finished reading the '98 novel, your recap is awesome!
You really have a great delivery, and easily digestible way to enjoy the lore. My suggestion I hope you can cover my all time favorite character in MTG Kamahl, he's the reason why i became a lover of all things Druidry.
Thanks so much and for the suggestion! Hope to cover the stories surrounding Otaria/the Mirari soon
Idk if you've covered this plane before but I'd live to see you deep dive into Tarkir and its time periods which involves the Khan War, the past and the Khanfall and lastly the Dragonclan wars.
Great video!
You should know that this video didn’t appear on my timeline until you made a post about it even though I watch your videos as soon as they’re uploaded. I don’t know anything about the algorithm but maybe look into it cause I’d hate for you to miss out on views when your content is so fucking good.
Appreciate the heads up and am looking into ti
WOW GREAT VIDEO URZA URZA URZA!!
The stern lesson flavor text is ironic
@43:00 OH NO URZA IS SUFFERING FROM YOUNGBLOOD'S DISEASE!
I love you videos but CAN YOU PLEASE link or reference the music?! I absolutely love your choice of music.
👍👍
Is Urza considered a bad guy?
yes, but in being bad he prevented what worse guys tried to do
You just don't get characters like these anymore.
