My theory is that the Eldrazi are supposed to be the eaters of worlds on the cusp of their ends. Maybe mana goes "primal" as a plane nears its end? Aside from that, lovely 8-bit Hearthstone music.
Looking forward to a Nahiri Planeswalker! :D Bet she is W/R, full of fury and one of the instigators of the SOI campaign. I would love an extra Chandra for all the Madness Over Innestrad ;)
Simply put, any threat like the Eldrazi, consuming and collecting- growing stronger- is doing so out of avarice and fear. Something's coming for them in the blind eternities and whatever it is just got all that more threatening with Ulamog and Kozilek gone.
+AntiRivet I disagree that the Eldrazi were consuming and growing out of fear. It was most likely just how it survives, how it was born/made. I do, however, agree that there might be something worse than them coming, something the Eldrazi were holding in check. There is always a bigger fish.
Maybe the multi-verse isn't endless. There could be limited space for the planes. If the planes were created at some point then maybe there still being made. The titans could be endlessly destroying planes as more are endlessly created. A predator-prey relationship.

I just wanted to let you know I just listened to your whole lore playlist within the last 2 days and I have immensely enjoyed it! So when it comes to the repercussions I think that I could cause mana to distort such as white become black, good becomes evil, angel becomes devil. But I did also have another theory about Nahiri traveling to Innistrad that probably isn't right but it's interesting. So from Structural Distortion you have the flavor text:"As Zendikar has bled, so will innistrad. As I have wept, so will Sorin." -NahiriSo from what we can tell angels are going crazy and Nahiri is in Innistrad looking for Sorin most likely because she felt like Sorin abandoned Zendikar because he never showed during the Eldrazi events. So Nahiri is pissed and wants to commit Innistrad to the same fate as Zendikar. The only Eldrazi titan we didn't see was Emrakul, it's a theory and I know people have suggested Emrakul but what if Nahiri found a way to bait the titan through the Blind Eternity so that it would destroy Innistrad as a punishment to Sorin for his "betrayal"? From Sorin's lore we also know that he did not want to travel back to Innistrad before Nahiri, Sorin and Ugin trapped the titans in fear of them following. So the presence of Emrakul in Innistrad could be messing with the little White mana that is present in Innistrad, since it is primarily a Black plane, turning the angels evil!Again great series!!! And if you could do another one like you did with Tibalt I really enjoyed it!
It's good that the story is all coming together now after all these blocks. I like how they reassured us that they haven't forgotten about nicol bolas. I hope to see more of him in years to come.
Nice video, good to see Wizards wrapping up Zendikar and the Eldrazi, and I didn't even know that the article was out yet, so thanks for the update Seiben. And lets hope SOI gives us another good storyline just BFZ and OTW
I really liked this video, and I do think Ugin's words carry a lot of meaning, we usually think of the eldrazi as "beings" from the blind eternities, but every time someone refers to them, they're mentioned as if the where a hurricane or a flood, a force of nature and part of the multiverse, if what little we know is true and there where only 3 titans, then that means that the only one left, Ulamog, now has the ENTIRE eldrazi race under her command, a theory I've been working on is that, maybe the eldrazi are like the "white cells" of the multiverse, and they only consume planes to keep the multiverse clean, but they're 3, so they're usually competing with each other for more food, Zendikar was a really mana rich plane, that was the reason why it was chosen as the prison, so that could explain why the titans didn't fight over this bounty-full world, but now that they're gone, there are no 3 separate heads leading the Eldrazi in different directions, they're now all under 1 single titan, so my theory in short is that, now that there is no competition for food, Ulamog has the entire multiverse to consume, and has every single last eldrazi left behind by the fallen 2 as part of her brood, this may prove to be even worse than having 3 different titans moving around, and may create a scenario where multiple planes could be under siege in unison by the new Titan lord, and who knows, maybe Ulamog will create new lesser titans to replace the fallen 2, in order to lead her now unified brood in their new quest to devour all.
I think what Ugin was saying about unknown consequences totally foreshadows the possible conflict with Nahiri and/or Avacyn. It just seems to fit smoothly with the OGW theme wizards has going on
That's it for Zendikar I guess. I loved the Eldrazi but now is back to Innistrad Yaya. I enjoy reading Wizard's articles but Seiben's video format feels a lot better. Great video.
Hello sir Seiben. Here is what I think. Since the Eldrazzi embodies the void (the destruction) they probably cause a huge rift / balance of power thus causing untold chaos throughout the multiverse. Since one side lacks, the other compensates (creation) thus it will create another life form that will do the same function as the Eldrazzi but in a different purpose (probably assimilation or something) Thanks again for this vid sir!
I can't wait to find out more about what's going on between nahiri and sorin! they are my favorite lore characters and innistrad is my favorite set/plane the amount of excitement I have is unreal! really looking forward to the lore vids on innistrad and it's characters, you do a great job!
So I'm a little hard on the writing sometimes, and I would like it to be a little more consistent, but overall wotc is doing a great job. Your videos just add to the mythology of mtg. I always watch your videos after reading the articles. Someimes you pick up on or think about things in a way that I didn't consider. I love it and thank you
i got a bit of an obtuse theory: first off with a quote: no matter how hard you fight or how great the feats of heroism, there will always be a bigger adversary. now, im a fairly newer player so apologizes if im incorrect on specific details i had enough curiosity to research Nicol Bolas and what makes him a bad guy; his sole goal is to undo the Mending, this astronomical cross-plane occurrence that nerfed the greatness of planeswalkers. before the mending, planeswalkers had godly levels of powers, and complete control of the mana around them. an example a pre-mending Jace Beleren would most likely be so powerful he would have complete psionic and mental control of entire planes, memories and ideas would be as easy to manipulate as grains of sand with zendikar being such a mana heavy plane, i dare say its the most mana filled plane so far, so what if the Eldrazi were formed as vacuum cleaners, drifting the blind eternities and instinct to consume where there is the most mana. after her lil soul-bonding with Ashaya, Nissa is pretty damn powerful, being able to call upon the mana of the entire plane to her bidding. ((before i click post even im not confident in the above theory, because that just makes the eldrazi titans as powerful if not more so than the current planeswalkers, and almost on par with pre mending walkers.... unless NEW THEORY WHAT IF THE ELDRAZI ARE PLANESWALKERS THAT GOT TOO MUCH MANA AND WENT PRE-MENDING another theory more based around my friend's idea: what if each plane already has some form of entity to balance the mana, or at least keeping it out of the hands of planes walkers? for example, Theros has its gods, Tarkir has the five dragonlords, Innistrad has Avacyn and Griselbrand causing a reoccuring cycle of life and death, reanimation and destruction
in formative as always, although I must confess I can't wait to find out what happens with emrakul! good choice for the give away, Chandra has always been my favorite planeswalker even when every one was riding the "jace train" I'm glad she had her moment to shine!!
I believe that the Eldrazi act as a kind of clean up crew for collapsing and artificial planes and probably posed the best chance at ending the phyrexian threat.
I feel like drawing the eldrazi in and essentially killing them within the plane will cause them to re-emerge as something stronger. After all, they did bring in their full forms, and as such, Zendikar took quite a blow. If Ulamog and Kozilek do make a return, I'm pretty sure they'll be much stronger and Zendikar will fall immediately. Also nice 8-bit remix of the Hearthstone theme.
with one of the upcoming sets being "eldritch moon," I think there is definitely going to be at least some connection between the Eldrazi and Innistrad, as eldritch almost exclusively is used in tandem with lovecraft, which the Eldrazi are drawn from
The good thing about their deaths is that if wizards eventually comes back to Zendikar their remains could be possible card art. 1 or 2 land cards that uses the Titans as a basis for abilities and art sounds awesome!
I believe that the Eldrazi serve as a role of balance to the whole multiverse as a form of of entropy, a thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, in that way ensuring that the multiverse vast energies are balanced out. This would explain why they attacked Zendikar a chaotic and mana flooded plane, and with two of the Titans gone, maybe the there would be a huge surplus in mana, enough the give a certain ancient evil dragon back the power he lost, especially if a third Titan is killed.
When you think about how now they are returning to sets with unfinished storylines it make you wonder if they will return to alara and the story line of nicol bolas. Jace did mention him and killing the 3 Titans might be his plan to do something.
FINALLY This is the closest thing we've seen multiple planeswalkers working together since the legacy weapon era. I would honestly love to see all the allied planeswalkers obliterate Nicol Bolas.
A common theory seems to be that the Eldrazi were holding something bigger back. I think that could be interesting, but something as big as the Eldrazi could be even more connected to the universe of mtg then simple blocks for a bigger bad guy. Since they come from what's outside the planes, maybe their deaths can actually effect the ability to travel between them, effecting planeswalkers directly with their ability to planeswalk
A cataclysmic event that can potentially damage the multiverse. If their are too many situations like this, it may lead to a second time spiral block . . . WE NEED THE PLANESWALKERS TO DO MORE DAMAGE! :D
i think the eldrazi are like a natural occurring forest fire where it burns down everything but makes way for a new healthier forest to grow on the refined nutrient rich soil.
I feel as though the eldrazi were something to control the growth of each plain, once a plain reaches it's a point in mana they appear. the consiquenses are still a mystery but it could be that mana could go rampant and lead to disaster for the multiverse.
this whole story line has been one of my favorites. But I wonder what's up with ugins warning ( if there is a threat). mana outbreak Maybe? Maybe there's a greater force that relies on them? Well I guess we'll find out eventually. Love your vids bro, keep bein awesome.
I;m just glad we're done with the Eldrazi for a bit. Now we get to go to Innestrad again. I joined into MTG just after Return to Ravnica came out, so I'm looking forward to seeing how this plane 'feels', if you will. To clarify, by feel, I mean how well do the mechanics (new and old in the event of a returning plane) mesh with one another. Zendikar felt very meh, but Innestrad is looking to fix that with any luck. I really hope Nahiri is just mucking about the place causing problems, and I would love nothing more than a new Sorin (sorry, I think the guy is really cool and Khans didn't do him justice to me.), Tibalt (Because why not?), and more humans for the tribal deck I'm working on.
Great FNL. The impact of the loss of Ulamog & Kozilek will not be immediately felt in the MTG multiverse. However, MTG seems to be a place where vacuums are nearly always filled. Perhaps their loss may result in a backlash from The Blind Eternities that is quite possibly, titanic? :/
I think that the three were connected like a sort of hive mind and Emrakul will be out for revenge and may come back and there will be a "Gathering" of planeswalkers to fight him off or maybe the eldrazi work for Nicol Bolas
"I coulda killed the Eldrazi... if I wanted to; the five suns were in my eyes... plus, my back like really hurts from where Nicol Bolas killed me in an alternate timeline. The Gatewatch are dumb... and jerks. Leave me alone on Zendikar!"
My guess is that Emrakul was actually awaiting the death of the other two titans. The three of them inhabited the Blind Eternities, and if you look at it from Ugin's pond metaphor, if three men have their hands in the pond trying to catch a fish, there will be competition. With Emrakul being alone to consume and grow, it could very well become more powerful than the other two titans were combined.
I have a feeling that Jace is gonna make a big impact in Innistrad. Note that he will make an impact but I'm hoping what he does there will be mind-blowing.
I think the eldrazi may have been a power check for excessive mana, for example they act as a void to perhaps stop someone or something from using is as a weapon (Nicol Bolas)
i think one of the consequences will be that with no one eating up planes, they will eventually collide. so, in a comic book style fashion, the future Gatewatch will be the ones choosing which which of the colliding planes should be destroyed so that the other may continue to exist.
the eldrazi are like cleaners, they suck up all the mana in the plains and then releasing them when they are done renewing the plains for new life while redistributing the old life to other plains

Ugin, the all mighty, and primordial spirit dragon, 2016.
-that died to nicol bolas
My theory is that the Eldrazi are supposed to be the eaters of worlds on the cusp of their ends. Maybe mana goes "primal" as a plane nears its end?
Aside from that, lovely 8-bit Hearthstone music.
R.I.P.Ulamog and Kozilek the killed a 1/1 squirrel token then died because they tragic sliped on said squirrel
Looking forward to a Nahiri Planeswalker! :D Bet she is W/R, full of fury and one of the instigators of the SOI campaign. I would love an extra Chandra for all the Madness Over Innestrad ;)

Kevin Husser Or in Ugin's analogy a bigger man. :P
+AntiRivet It's going to be so awesome when it does
I absolutely love this series, it makes it so much easier to follow the lore of MTG, something I'm trying to get into. Thanks!
Maybe the multi-verse isn't endless. There could be limited space for the planes. If the planes were created at some point then maybe there still being made. The titans could be endlessly destroying planes as more are endlessly created. A predator-prey relationship.
Thanks for doing all this. Keeping up with the lore is the main thing that keeps me ducking in and out of magic.
Man you missed the best part of the story, Chandra using part of Ulamog skull as a "chair"
+Sam Dent actually on that note, I wasn't very clear... Did Ugin take the skull with him? Jaha
Im pretty she sits down on her "chair " or returns to it during or after the conversation with Ugin, also the way she speak to Ugin, Hilarious.
+Sam Dent ooh could you link it. wizards sight is hard to navigate on mobile. and I really wanna see that.

I can't wait for SoI. I love how you mix cards and lore, I like them both! Keep on trucking Seiben

love how its foreshadows the upcoming set at the end.
Just found this channel and am quite enjoying it! I don't always have time to read the lore so this is perfect. Keep up the great work!
These videos have gotten better Ive been here since nearly the start
Nice video, good to see Wizards wrapping up Zendikar and the Eldrazi, and I didn't even know that the article was out yet, so thanks for the update Seiben. And lets hope SOI gives us another good storyline just BFZ and OTW

Just discovered your channel a few days ago and I think ive already watched all of your lore videos! Keep em coming! :)
Loved Zendikar's story so much, can't wait to see where Shadow's takes the story
Innistrad is what got me into magic in the first place. Can't wait to visit it again
I think what Ugin was saying about unknown consequences totally foreshadows the possible conflict with Nahiri and/or Avacyn. It just seems to fit smoothly with the OGW theme wizards has going on
Great video! I was never into MTG lore until I started watching your channel.
I follow MTG lore simply from these videos. Thanks dude!
That's it for Zendikar I guess. I loved the Eldrazi but now is back to Innistrad Yaya. I enjoy reading Wizard's articles but Seiben's video format feels a lot better. Great video.
Enjoying all this lore, new and old, keep it up with the great vids!
I was never a huge fan of Chandra until I listen to these lore videos. She's become a pretty awesome character in the stories.
I love the background music you use in your videos sieben. great job on another awesome fnl. :)
i might be new to mtg since i started playing it after a convention took place in my city, but thanks to you i managed to get most of its lore :D
I'm excited for where the narrative may take us, and happy to be done with the eldrazi for a while
Love your videos. Hope we have another 5+ years before we see Eldrazi again.
pervavita we had hoped, yet our hope was to no avail
this forever cemented my live for the Planeswalker Chandra. Fire magic destroyed the greatest Monstrosity known to the planes.
ahaha my Love for Chandra the Planeswalker.
this will be my first Innistrad Black so im really excited, thanks for the videos! keeping me informed and pumped helps!
I don't know why, but Ugin have always fascinated me. I just want to see more of him whenever I see him xD
Great lore video. It got me extra hyped for SOI
I love these video's! I don't have the time to read all the lore, this is a great way for me to catch up on everything.
+Collson Nielsen Reading the weekly short stories from wizards is awesome thou
I love your 8 bit music at the end of these videos.
So THAT's how the stories of OGW and SOI patch together, I think that this game has a better lore then most give it credit for :)
Thanks for doing FNL. I am excited about this new block coming up but not nearly as excited as I am for Conspiracy.
I like how the sets are following a story like back in the Urza days
Hello sir Seiben. Here is what I think.
Since the Eldrazzi embodies the void (the destruction) they probably cause a huge rift / balance of power thus causing untold chaos throughout the multiverse. Since one side lacks, the other compensates (creation) thus it will create another life form that will do the same function as the Eldrazzi but in a different purpose (probably assimilation or something)
Thanks again for this vid sir!
Pretty good and informative video, thanks so much for resuming these things to us!
I can't wait to find out more about what's going on between nahiri and sorin! they are my favorite lore characters and innistrad is my favorite set/plane the amount of excitement I have is unreal! really looking forward to the lore vids on innistrad and it's characters, you do a great job!
I like the idea that the Eldrazi were like beings of destruction consuming mana only to give it to the multiverse to make new planes with yo
Nice coverage, I can't wait for Innistrad lore to come.
So I'm a little hard on the writing sometimes, and I would like it to be a little more consistent, but overall wotc is doing a great job. Your videos just add to the mythology of mtg. I always watch your videos after reading the articles. Someimes you pick up on or think about things in a way that I didn't consider. I love it and thank you
Nice appetizer for soi. Already looking forwards for the next chapter
I can't wait tell the next Eldrazi sets. They always have some of the most interesting cards.
Awesome Video. Keep up the lore videos, they're worth the wait.
i got a bit of an obtuse theory: first off with a quote: no matter how hard you fight or how great the feats of heroism, there will always be a bigger adversary.
now, im a fairly newer player so apologizes if im incorrect on specific details
i had enough curiosity to research Nicol Bolas and what makes him a bad guy; his sole goal is to undo the Mending, this astronomical cross-plane occurrence that nerfed the greatness of planeswalkers. before the mending, planeswalkers had godly levels of powers, and complete control of the mana around them. an example a pre-mending Jace Beleren would most likely be so powerful he would have complete psionic and mental control of entire planes, memories and ideas would be as easy to manipulate as grains of sand

((before i click post even im not confident in the above theory, because that just makes the eldrazi titans as powerful if not more so than the current planeswalkers, and almost on par with pre mending walkers.... unless
NEW THEORY WHAT IF THE ELDRAZI ARE PLANESWALKERS THAT GOT TOO MUCH MANA AND WENT PRE-MENDING
another theory more based around my friend's idea: what if each plane already has some form of entity to balance the mana, or at least keeping it out of the hands of planes walkers? for example, Theros has its gods, Tarkir has the five dragonlords, Innistrad has Avacyn and Griselbrand causing a reoccuring cycle of life and death, reanimation and destruction

If Ulamog and Kozilek do make a return, I'm pretty sure they'll be much stronger and Zendikar will fall immediately. Also nice 8-bit remix of the Hearthstone theme.
wow this story is about to get very very interesting.
It was a pretty good conclusion with a slight cliffhanger. Can't wait for SOI, because I didn't play during the original Innistrad Block!
That bit of the Lore really made it implied that emrakul wont be SOI, thankfully.
with one of the upcoming sets being "eldritch moon," I think there is definitely going to be at least some connection between the Eldrazi and Innistrad, as eldritch almost exclusively is used in tandem with lovecraft, which the Eldrazi are drawn from
The good thing about their deaths is that if wizards eventually comes back to Zendikar their remains could be possible card art. 1 or 2 land cards that uses the Titans as a basis for abilities and art sounds awesome!
This is a fantastic story. Thanks for sharing this.
I believe that the Eldrazi serve as a role of balance to the whole multiverse as a form of of entropy, a thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, in that way ensuring that the multiverse vast energies are balanced out.

I'm so hype for the next Set I can't wait for the story to start coming out
I'm super stoked for shadows. I really hope we get a new nahiri!
Really happy to see innistrad coming back. I enjoyed the Video!
my daughter and I love the lore, keep up the good work
This was amazing. I'd love to know what the planeswalkers do next though...
Sweet video, it added to my limited knowledge of SOI.
I love the video. Glad Chandra was there to destroy them. I hope they find Sorin and actually recruit him.
I absolutely love your videos and even though I'm new to your channel it is the BEST mtg channel I've seen ever.
Perhaps the existence of the Eldrazi in the blind eternities is what made traversing them lethal to anyone without the planeswalker spark.
Nice Job Seiben! Keep up the great work. :) I would love to have that Chandra in my Chandra Collection! :D
When you think about how now they are returning to sets with unfinished storylines it make you wonder if they will return to alara and the story line of nicol bolas. Jace did mention him and killing the 3 Titans might be his plan to do something.
Lol called it. I knew Ugin would be angry.
I love the story and looking forward to the next set as well!
Looking forward to the Shadows Over Innistrad pack and see where the lore will go with this
FINALLY
This is the closest thing we've seen multiple planeswalkers working together since the legacy weapon era. I would honestly love to see all the allied planeswalkers obliterate Nicol Bolas.
A common theory seems to be that the Eldrazi were holding something bigger back. I think that could be interesting, but something as big as the Eldrazi could be even more connected to the universe of mtg then simple blocks for a bigger bad guy. Since they come from what's outside the planes, maybe their deaths can actually effect the ability to travel between them, effecting planeswalkers directly with their ability to planeswalk
A cataclysmic event that can potentially damage the multiverse. If their are too many situations like this, it may lead to a second time spiral block . . . WE NEED THE PLANESWALKERS TO DO MORE DAMAGE! :D
i think the eldrazi are like a natural occurring forest fire where it burns down everything but makes way for a new healthier forest to grow on the refined nutrient rich soil.
so much excitment for Innistrad and to see Sorin's place in it...but that Chandra would also excite me
I can't wait to see what's going on in innistrad after all of this it seems a promise or great things! Plus that Chandra is amazing!
I feel as though the eldrazi were something to control the growth of each plain, once a plain reaches it's a point in mana they appear. the consiquenses are still a mystery but it could be that mana could go rampant and lead to disaster for the multiverse.
this whole story line has been one of my favorites. But I wonder what's up with ugins warning ( if there is a threat). mana outbreak Maybe? Maybe there's a greater force that relies on them? Well I guess we'll find out eventually. Love your vids bro, keep bein awesome.
Always love your recaps of the stories :)
I;m just glad we're done with the Eldrazi for a bit. Now we get to go to Innestrad again. I joined into MTG just after Return to Ravnica came out, so I'm looking forward to seeing how this plane 'feels', if you will.
To clarify, by feel, I mean how well do the mechanics (new and old in the event of a returning plane) mesh with one another. Zendikar felt very meh, but Innestrad is looking to fix that with any luck. I really hope Nahiri is just mucking about the place causing problems, and I would love nothing more than a new Sorin (sorry, I think the guy is really cool and Khans didn't do him justice to me.), Tibalt (Because why not?), and more humans for the tribal deck I'm working on.
as a consequence I believe that a power comes over the multiverse that starts to drain it of all the mana. like a giant storm or unseen force
As shadows fall over innistrad something evil rise. "That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange eons even death may die."
Great FNL. The impact of the loss of Ulamog & Kozilek will not be immediately felt in the MTG multiverse. However, MTG seems to be a place where vacuums are nearly always filled. Perhaps their loss may result in a backlash from The Blind Eternities that is quite possibly, titanic? :/
Chandra using Ulmaogs skull as a chair is my favorite part
I am really looking forward to the new inistrad block. It was the block that reintroduced me to magic
I think that the three were connected like a sort of hive mind and Emrakul will be out for revenge and may come back and there will be a "Gathering" of planeswalkers to fight him off or maybe the eldrazi work for Nicol Bolas
"I coulda killed the Eldrazi... if I wanted to; the five suns were in my eyes... plus, my back like really hurts from where Nicol Bolas killed me in an alternate timeline. The Gatewatch are dumb... and jerks. Leave me alone on Zendikar!"
Can't wait to see what consequences await the gate watch.
My guess is that Emrakul was actually awaiting the death of the other two titans. The three of them inhabited the Blind Eternities, and if you look at it from Ugin's pond metaphor, if three men have their hands in the pond trying to catch a fish, there will be competition. With Emrakul being alone to consume and grow, it could very well become more powerful than the other two titans were combined.
I have a feeling that Jace is gonna make a big impact in Innistrad. Note that he will make an impact but I'm hoping what he does there will be mind-blowing.
I think the eldrazi may have been a power check for excessive mana, for example they act as a void to perhaps stop someone or something from using is as a weapon (Nicol Bolas)
Chandra would go nice in my mono Red burn deck, also I can't wait to see what new cards and storylines are revealed in SOI!
i think one of the consequences will be that with no one eating up planes, they will eventually collide. so, in a comic book style fashion, the future Gatewatch will be the ones choosing which which of the colliding planes should be destroyed so that the other may continue to exist.
Would be awesome to get a chandra!
Great vid as always, Sieben
Can't wait to see who will take the oath next
the eldrazi are like cleaners, they suck up all the mana in the plains and then releasing them when they are done renewing the plains for new life while redistributing the old life to other plains
My guess is for Shadows Over Innistrad is that the Moon on Zendikar corrupts those who are under constantly under the Moon's rays.
