This is why i like magic lore! great story, thx for sharing!
It's interesting how good some of these stories are from what I thought was a time when Wizards didn't care about story.
Ouch, that video got me right in the feels. Such a sad story.
Crovax has an interesting story, thanks for the fascinating lore.
one of the best stories in magic, btw great set up videos love the series
crovax the Cursed was always one of my fave cards, I didn't know there was more to his story. keep up the awesome vids :D
stories like this make me so glad i got into magic
Crovax and the whole Weatherlight crew story lines were some of my favorite characters from the whole history of Magic lore.
Its fun that an alternate version of Crovax was printed in Planar Chaos, where his fate was changed and he didn't turn evil! I'm surprised you didn't mention that, despite showing his card art.
He actually has 3 cards - Crovax the Cursed, Ascendant Evincar (which strangely excludes his name) and the best one, Crovax, Ascendant Hero. He sacrifices flying for another, in my opinion much better ability - to avoid any removal. As long as you have life, he simply will never die!
However, the one you're giving away has the vampire type - something very relevant! I'd love to include him in my mono-black Liliana, Heretical Healer EDH! ;)
He was my favorite character when I was first starting magic
Some of the art looked like things from Heavy Metal. Awesome Lore!
Your videos are awesome for those of us who played on and off or just don't know the stories! thanks! :)
I just love the card art for Gallowbraid and Morinfen! C. Critchlow is a great artist :).
Oh geez, this is great! Crovax seemed like he really just had some bad luck, and bad decisions. Also, i'm glad you're giving away Ascendant Evincar instead of the normal Crovax. Seems to be more flavorful!
Gotta love his effect of boosting your stuff and weakening your opponent's.
I've always wondered about the fate of the weatherlight and it's crew.. thanks for the great story telling
Vindicate tells you the fate of Gerard. There are other cards that continue the journey. The only survivor left is Karn and that's really because he's not technically alive.
I love finding out the stories behind cards I use constantly but never had information on. This guy is in my Olivia Voldarren deck, and he does work.
Crovax's story has always touched me, that's why his time spiral version is one of me favorite cards of that block.
Truly a dark story. The darkest part though, is that two 5/5 with cumulative upkeep of pay 1 life beat the heck out of The Weatherlight Crew and Urborg denizens
Wow, what a story! Thanks for retelling it. I've never known it until now.
loving Lore from before i started getting into mtg. always learning something new.
That is one twisted story, but at least at the end of it all it sounds like Crovax was able to finally be at peace and was freed from the bondage and corruption that Yawgmoth and the Phyrexians had over him even though it was at the price of his own life. Great video and fascinating lore Seiben!
I use to love this card! Was my favorite card when I was a kid
Sir, it will be a crime, a CRIME, if this series does not end with Yawgmoth.
I know that he doesn't have a card...just give away Yawgmoth's will or ambition...but do Yawgmoth.
Much sad, very story, wow. Awesome video Simon. Perfect card for a mono black vampire deck.
love how you do these holiday videos. Would love for another 25 cards of xmas!
I really enjoy listening to this old lore I was not able to play back in its proper time.
dang... he looks like a beast! and a fun commander card to boot, thanks for such an amazing channel and all these cool stories!
Wow much of the lore of the older sets is very interesting. Loving all these videos
oh I remember this bad boy, such a good card in a vampire deck
I love the old school art.
It's really cool how the story for mtg has evolved over the years
Thumbs up for another good video seibenlore, really like the crovax story!
Love the videos Seiben. Keep it up man !
I love hearing about phyrexians and that storyline, I didn't get to play during that set and it has such a cool story
This Halloween series is great and it would be awesome winning a card right before my birthday. (Nov 2).
Keep up the good work seiben. This channel is awesome.
that is the second saddest story i have heard in magic wow
I had a Crovax, Sengir Vampire deck. It was pretty bad ass back in the day lol. Thanks for the vid Seiben.
my favorite character from the weatherlight saga! tragic soul that just wanted acceptance. Would love him as my first EDH commander.
Uff, that's one of the few cards my vampire deck is missing.
Here's hoping Fox doesn't screw the movies as bad as they screwed up Eragon.
+Shadow Minion Master Gaming Fat chance. They will try to make it "Hip and Cool", or "Kids like that Grimdark stuff nowadays, right?", or they try to make the characters "relatable" and make the protagonist a Highschool student from Earth.
+JohnRaines Yeah probably but I do have some hope. Fox has screwed up a lot lately and I'm hoping they're due for a homerun. Fat chance but I've got a feeling.
Days of future past wasn't horrible...
* clink *
Ascendant Evincar was the first rare card my older brother got , which got me into magic when I was five
Thanks for the vid. I really like the lore behind these cards.
His story is truly tragic. Great video.
What a somber and beautiful tail. At lest he was freed from his curse in death, witch not many share in story's like his.
he has a really cool story. I look forward to hearing the rest of the stories
Wow! I never knew his story. Your videos are constantly teaching me something new.
When I first saw this, I'm all like, " He's an orc!" Then I see his subtype is vampire.
+Dan Yeung lol
Dan Yeung yeah I thought he'd be a red orc looked up the cards and went wtf? human then vampire?
its ridiculous. some artist seriously messed up. He even has the ANATOMY and art style of an orc. wtf???
I never knew this cards story was so tragic it really interesting to find these stories out
This is so sad. Crovax had such a miserable life only to end up killed by his last friend before his insanity took while he was in the guise of the enemy that aided him so much down his dark path. The part about his parents reminds me of Sasori from Naruto. It's almost good that he was at least reunited with the one he loved before leaving that world, even if it was one-sided.
I find crovax to be a very interesting character, I also like how in an alternate reality Mirri struck the finishing blow on selenia and became cursed in his stead. This caused an upturn in Crovax's life causing him to become aligned with white mana.
keep up the awesome lore seiben!
I love how much the Dominaria plane has so much information about it :O
I played this guy so much back in the day. Very sad story.....
i love the old school stories.... well i love learning about the old school stories. i have heard they are hard to get through
The puppet-parents were definitely the sincerely-disconcerting part for me...
Never heard of Crovax before this video. Glad I watched.
I remember him so well! A story well told, my friend!
I'm surprised that I'm not seeing more legends from Innistrad, you love the lore from Innistrad, and Innistad is the spookiest plane
one of my favorite pieces of lore in all of magic
I love when wizards makes their characters relatable
Man Crovax got the short end of the stick kind of like almost any important character involved in phyrexians.
One of my favorite lords to date! Awesome!
Wow his story is pretty tragic. I was not playing when this was occurring, so hearing the story nowadays is really interesting.
This is so sad :'( This would be a pretty cool storyline for a mtg movie though! As batman once said "you either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain"
Gotta say it was a much better story than I expected
love, war, madness so good
That is quite frightening on how relatable it is.
Actually super sad story. Pretty badass card for vampire tribal thought!
I watched Wedge from the ManaSource give the lore of the Weatherlight. I recognized the name Crovax and his relationship with the angel. Unfortunately, Wedge has only gotten as far as the portal collapsing. Did not know he became a twisted abomination of evil because of his love. Poor Anakin. I mean, Crovax.
poor crovax. I like how in the alternate timeline, he actually has the creature type lord
Now that you've mentioned Phyrexia in this and Dominaria in previous videos a bunch of times, I'd like to hear the complete stories of Phyrexia (inclusive new Phyrexia) and Dominaria ^^
I hope you manage to make some videos about those things. But don't rush, I've got time to wait ^^
thx for an awsome lore session.
Yet another MTG character I've never heard of before watching your videos
I liked this card a lot back when it was released. Só many memories!
Adding him to a stack would be an interesting mix in my black death deck. He seems like an easy early starter.
Out of all the people I play with none of them have a vamp deck and I never really thought about it but feel like I should build one now
:D I remember trying to get this for a vampire deck I wanted to build about 10-11 years ago.
This card would make a great gift for my brother's black deck
this guy would be a great card for a vampire casual deck
I enjoy the phyrexian lore. These are definitely some of the darker mtg events ... good old Yawgmoth.
I like how Crovax is actually the Ascendant Evincar.
This would fit perfectly in my mono black vampire deck! I also use Gerrard in my white soldier deck so it would be cool to let them duel
can't wait to see the next days videos
I can't stop watching them
Very cool story. MTG lore has changed a lot since dominaria.
Great video man!
His flavourtext is so poetic.
Good Video like always but even better because Crovax is my favourite evil guy in MTG
crovax is a depressing story and terrifying to see on your enemies board
What a dark tale. This is one of, if not the saddest tale in Magic..
His tragic tale reminds me of one Davey Jones...
I would love to get my hands on this card. his story has always intrigued me
Crovax's story could be a movie trilogy of its own
Amazing, as always!
He looks like a good addition to my Vampire edh Deck.
Wow. that was a scarring story, just adds to my hate the the phyrexians, and all my other comments have been about commander so im just going to say, I need that card for my Anowan the Ruin Sage vampire tribal deck
I just realised, Crovax is a flying Elish Norn 😂. He is amazing in mono-black of course. I hope you will get more subscribers, but in any case, I'll be staying around!
It's Gerrard Capashen. And his story is one of the saddest in all of MTG.... you should do his story. Anyways love the channel, keep up the good work.
Awesome, atm i am making a Crovax, ascendent hero EDH deck.
Love the story behind the original though
