The game is at LEAST twice as fun when you know the lore
this
Raider Gamingo how he an idiot?
At LEAST
@@MFHOOD56 You sound like an idiot.
@@MFHOOD56 its been 1 year since you left this comment, how do you feel about your stupidity now?
I LOVEE Elesh Norn's art. The perfect mix of pure white and blood red made her clean while still impersonate the phyrexian. She truly represent the "white side" of the the phyrexian. I need it now xD!
Seems hard to walk through doors with this giant head plate
who needs doors?
Tear the building to shreds
Must be hard for doors to stand.
When you have the Intent to tear the building down you can Redesign Everything doors included.
Pretty sure the doors are have a toughness 2 or less.
Almost feel like each Praetor deserves their own lore video. Is there really not much else lore to them other than what you covered?
there isn't sadly
Well there is now
@@courchar now there is
@@Case2_0 where would this lore be found if you could point me in the right direction
@@goldendoomslayer6301 I'd like to know as well
Sheoldred is my favorite Praetor, always will be. I do hope we revisit New Phyrexia again in the future, I'd like more insight as to what's going on there.
Would be interesting to see a Phyrexian civil war.
New to mtg and Sheoldred is my favorite black creature so far, I mostly play blue eldrazi triad and a deck full of Chandra cards
With Ashiok searching for them, I think they will be coming back in a big way in the next year
How about now? Regretting that yet?
Although I love all the Praetors I remember seeing someone opening a Jin Gitaxias at prerelease and felt deeply in love with it. There's something so badass about it's design. I thing it's because it bears so much ressemblance to the xenomorph, I don't know, but I was so jealous of the dude that oppened the blue Praetor
He does doesn't he. These sets just seem so heavy metal to me, no pun intended
I feel like Urabrask is the least inherently "evil" of the praetors... His "living is the moment" philosophy clearly makes him the least reliable or loyal to his cause in a sense. He also seems like the praetor you'd most want to sit down and drink with.
Although I love Elesh Norn, I think Urabrask is my favorite of the praetors.
i found your channel 3 days ago and ive already watched every lore video
well I appreciate that a great deal :)
That loyalty
+seibenlore I watched you for awhile keep it up
+PrayForGaming Yeah they are pretty good.
+PrayForGaming same xD
I remember when I started playing hearing how much of a powerhouse elesh norn was. I didn't think much of it at first, but as I continued playing and understanding the mechanics, this single creature became a reminder of how a simple card can do wonders in a deck and be a nightmare for your opponent(s)
Gotta say: Urabrask is by far my favorite character in MtG.
edgy boi
Any one else get a giant chill when you see these guys
Well at first yes, because I fought against the phyrexians. Guess I got assimilated because my commander deck is a eldrazi phyrexian horde.
Oh man.... I REALLY wish i got into magic sooner. I would love to have experienced Scars of Mirrodin set so much!
I think this might be my new favorite magic related channel. You help me learn so much about the lore of this awesome game!
All Praetors are the stuff of nightmares...
I think that Elesh Norn is kinda cute, a hug might be uncomfortable but I think she would be nice
ARCHMAGOS DECIUS KRONEN Lol apparently she’s the most ruthless of all of them.
It took me a long time to figure out which way Elesh Norn was actually looking. Her hat is very strange.
zentay98 lol "her hat"
New Phyrexia is one of the best sets wizards ever printed. I hope to see a return some day
My favorite Praetor is Elesh Norn as I am fan of white/black cards... very strong for Orzhov!
Anorexia is no joke.
+Axel icious this made me laugh more than it should have i think...
I asked for this topic almost a year ago and you finally did it! New Phyrexia is still one of the most intriguing stories in Magic tbh.
phraxia vs eldarzi. I want to see this so badly!!! Elish Norn vs Ermrukl
Eldrazi would win for sure in my opinion, but both are awesome
+Hudson Baker I mean they're both the only plane manipulators and consumers in Magic. wouldn't it be crazy to see phraxian oil on an eldrazi and see what should happen?
Plz quit trying to destroy magic I just got into it and I don't need that destroying everything that ever existed and ending the game lol xD
Yeah nothing would be left lol now picture eldrazi vs phyrexian vs sliver that might even destroy the real world lol
+William Henry slivers would get destroyed first regardless lol. or corrupted either way lol.
+Marc “that Greek guy” Talleos lore wise yes, in the actual game the game would be over before you get a chance to cast any of the titans unless you have insane ramp or some sort of show and tell strategy.
I do like how all the praetors fight among each other with different philosophies about how phyrexia should be. I never really thought about it. Interesting lore today!
i love the way you pronounce synthesis
Thenthethith
As someone, who started Magic back in the days of Mirrodin and left the game shortly after the first Ravnica-block, I am fascinated by the events of New Phyrexia. Loving the lore-video,thanks for retelling the story.:)
Urabrask is my favorite card/character in general :D
I enjoy the way you present your material. Just waiting for a good break in my schooling to binge on most of the videos I've missed.
Wow, buying all 5 of them are about $70 XD
TheSushiandme they dropped a lot :)
Called it! Well, I doubt I was the only one. Anyway, I did not play during this block, so thank you for catching up on all the lore. My friend did play during it, but he sort of phased out during Theros block. He complained that he did not like the use of the god subtype, but I responded that I think the praetors are more powerful and terrifying than any of the Theros pantheon.
one of my friends has this card and it makes my life a nightmare
Agreed
me no like playing against it
+Mister Kibbinz Still, who would pass up an opportunity to get a free Elsh?
Someone in my playgroup has one also. I dread the day he draws and plays it.
+Ravoltex Nobody should.
Thank you for continually making lore videos I speak for myself and probably others when I say you have made Magic the Gathering an easier subject to get into.
brought mirrodin into bean
evil bean known as yawgmoth
pray-uh-turs
the great thin-thi-this
the vicious warm
shear-ul-dred
thranes
I know, right? Physically hurts my ears, like when people try to say artificer as art if Icer.
I know, but this guy has like the only MTG lore videos
I never knew much about the praetors and no other sources provide the information. I really appreciate it.
The Grand Thynthethis. XD
Sorry. Love your channel.
Roger Rabbit he ith not mike tython
I just came back to this video by mistake and no joke almost pointed out thynthethis again. Omfg.
If I had to choose a favorite Praetor, I would choose Urabrask. reason i think Urabrask has the coolest art
My first pack of the set I opened a Vorinclex, but I never opened Elesh. Go figure.
Can't wait to see the rest of these tales! Really appreciate these well-spoken lore videos
Elesh Norn... Grand pain in my ass...
THANK YOU SEIBEN!!! This is exactly what I wanted this Halloween
Showing my age; My favorite Praetor= Ebon Praetor (Easter bunny wedding!). P
I have always loved the art on this card, how the white and red mixes is just plain (*ba dum tss*) stunning. To learn that Elesh Norn has some awesome lore to follow along just makes the card so much more awesome than it really is.
would love to see them again
Just saw that card for the first time. Was looking for stuff for my EDH deck/s. Very cool channel, I plan on watching all the videos. Thanks!
I can understand the red mana rebellion of the phyrexia cause red mana is passion freedom things crush under the normal hierarchy of phyrexia
Now that I am getting closer to being the last video of this series I hope next year you will do the same thing! It is really nice to watch these videos... Oh and a Elesh Norn, dam yes :).
I really enjoy all the videos. Love the lore; you're doing a great service for the community. My only criticism is that you're always mispronouncing stuff ... regular English stuff. I don't mind the way anybody pronounces words created by WotC, but normal English words are a different matter. Maybe it's not your native language (which is cool, not trying to hate); I don't want to seem like an elitist jerk, but just being a minor RUclips celeb and providing a service for the MTG community, ya know... just some friendly criticism. And again, thanks for all the videos, I do really enjoy watching all these to complement the cards I play with.
Elesh Norn looks freaking awesome and the card doesn't disappoint as well.Also i like how every praetor has the personalty that represents their color very well.
what's the name of the song in the video
Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite is one of my favorite Praetors. I've even used this card in a Mono White splash of Colorless Deck including Artifacts
soul of new phyrexia is of the white faction correct? (I am new and like the white phyrexian's and bought soul of new phyrexia as it is my favourite artwork so far I have seen in MTG)
Azazels Gaming yes, because the white ones are who reign over Mirrodin after the liberation of Karn by elspeth, venser and koth. Elesh Norn destroyed Sheoldred's forces. The green and red praetors preferred to remain hidden and the blue one lost all his support with Tezzeret's flee. Now the remaining mirrans are returning, thanks to the phyrexian civil war and the option made by Urabrask to let them live
Separate factions? Different ideas to reach a common goal? PHYREXIAN CIVIL WAR???
Elesh Norn is pretty hot tbh
ummm whatever floats your boat man...
+EastwestIan just imagine her whispering sweet nothings into your ear
+EastwestIan here here
+David Nettey literally
I prefer ulamog
Whoah. I thought Yawgmoth was taken down by the legacy weapon!?!?
You didn't follow WUBRG. That displeases me.
As you could probably tell by my profile picture, I love New Phyrexia. It was my firsts, first set to know, first set to get the lore of, first set to gape in awe at. I am surprised that there was never a strong alliance between Jin-Gitaxias and Elesh Norn; they have the closest ideals, and could work very well together.
Are praetors stronger than your average planeswalker?
depends on which planeswalker and which Praetor
Sadness of Africa why don't you ask Gix
@@mintegral1719 wait gix is still alive?
@@kanevivi he's technically not canonically dead.
@@mintegral1719 well learning alot I did not know.
Someone in my play group decided to make a krenko deck I dont care how bad mono white is when he pumping 2000 goblins you need an easy elesh NORN avalible
phyrexians? more like necrons
Maybe that's why I enjoy them.
I was expecting Urabrask to be the give away, but you're going all out on this on with Elesh. Well done, great choice.
The Phyrexians make great villains. I look forward to joining the Mirrodin resistance one again in the far future.
+LordLightning764
Hopefully it's still around if we ever go back to Mirrodin/New Phyrexia... last time we checked in with them, Koth claimed they were all (or at least mostly) dead.
I started playing for few months now, & I wanted to know more about it, & Wow. There is a whole lot! Thank you for these lore Videos
The Praetors and New Phyrexians were the reason I started playing magic but I never got a hold of any of the preators sadly. Great video seiben!
I've started with Mtg, with Mirrodin Besieged and this Set is really iconic for me. And I didn't thought, that it was notably scary, but I understand it now. And the lore of Elesh Norn is really like fighting for the distopia of a Mind Police :-D
I knew about Karn but I never knew anything about the Praetors or Phyrexia. It sounds like their existence and presence in life is so twisted. I feel like I have a new respect for their cards. Knowing what they are all about realm changes the gameplay for me, I like making decks that stay true to the stories (like not having a deck with Eldrazi and inhabitants if Zendikar in it) I really want to go through what little cards I have from that set with this background in mind.
Elesh Norn is my favorite of the Praetors! Sleek in design with the pure white armoring plates stained by the very much organic blood. It's just such a good display of the contrasts new Phyrexians have over the old ones designs.
I love the Praetors they are such an interesting set of bag guys and I can't wait to see what has become of them while we're all off fighting the Eldrazi. I really hope I get the Elesh Norn she's the last one I need to complete my collection of the Praetors.
I love Phyrexia, they’re like the Borg, but with their cold logic replaced with insane fanaticism.
This channel is exactly what I have been wanting from the magic community. Who doesn't love the lore. Loved this video, was the first one of yours I watched. Always enjoy listening something about the Phyrexians and Phyrexia. Keep on putting the content out I'm subscribed and look forward to seeing more from your channel.
same here haha
Scars of mirrodin block, M12, and innistrad block will always have a special place in my heart from when I first started playing. I had a really shitty blue white control deck at the time using a bunch of cards I packed out. Although I know how to make decks now I wouldn't trade those days away for anything.
Every morning I start off by listening/watching your 13 nights of magic videos. Keep up the good work.
I've always wanted to learn more about some of the major characters of New Phyrexia and this definitely helped! Great job with the serires!
OG Phyrexia way way waaaaayyy scarier.
2 nights left!
Predictions:
Nicol Bolas
Yawgmoth
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Elesh Norn is my favourite commander. She is so strong and a good attacker as well. I love your videos, keep continuing with your channel, because I learn so much about mtg lore. Thanks!
I'm kind of interested in the Thranes' stories from the black Phyrexians. Old Phyrexia has some of my favorite art and definitely makes for a fantastic villain, and Sheoldred's faction would be fun to explore more of.
:p I've been meaning to collect playsets of all the praetors because I thought they all looked cool and always wondered what their background was. So this came at just the right time!
it's really interesting how much personality all these guys have
I would definitely go for the machine orthodoxy ! I really love Elesh's style !
Elesh is sweet!
The praetors were always interesting cards. I'm glad they have equally interesting lore :)
If we see Urabrask I hope aids Karn to overthrow the Phrexians.
Elesh Norn the Bane of all tokens. One if my favorite looking MTG character.
Seems like every praetor has its own take on buff and debuff at the same time
This video has made my night! As if you had answered my prayers for the praetors story. Amazing as always :D
I love Elesh I hope to be the fortunate! Siebenlore, AWESOME video as the rest, I didn´t expect this topic though. It was very interesting to know about the Praetors, they still rule eternal formats!
Seibenlore plus praetors?? couldn't ask for more. Except maybe some Ezuri/elf lore... Great video! :D
I love the art for the praetors and phyrexians in general. They remind me so much of clive barker and hr giger type art I love it.
I love the flavor of the praetors giving your forces immense power at the expense of the suffering of your foes
i found this channel a while ago and have been spreading the word ever since! thanks boss!
I would love to build a theme deck around Elesh Norh. You pick good cards to give away as well and is much appriciated as a loyal follower of your work.
The Praetors are unique, It'd be interesting to see a return to seeing if the Phyrexians are going to try and spread out more beyond Mirrodin
I loved the new phyrexia block. It brought me back into magic. The phyrexians are definitely some of the most terrifying villains in all the multiverse
Great series, can't wait to see what you will do in December! Thanks for all the videos
Really interested in the red mana factions story. Another great episode btw!
Elesh Norn have like the most graceful but scary art in magic cards that i had ever seen
wow, sweet. after reading all the uncharted realms articles on wizards I thought I was out of lore, but behold!! A fresh fount of Vorthos goodness!
I really dig the art you choose to use in this episode keep it up
One of the first decks I ever built that I was proud of was a Sheoldred golgari deck that involved me tossing my creatures to the grave and summoning them endlessly back. Elesh Norn is a good choice for the giveaway though because she is probably the more well known Praetor.
Aether Hub: "the phyrexianized elf, Glissa"
RUclips's autogenerated captions: "the fraction eyes delft glitter"
i really liked learning about the preators, sheoldred was my favorite
Now I want a lore series all about Yawgmoth and Phyrexia
Phyrexia vs Eldrazy has to be a block, it would be amazing to see the multiverse's two greatest antagonists fight to the death.
Some of the most powerful and terrifying creatures I've ever played with/against.
