The silly hat thing reminded me: A long time ago, I think '98, my father entered a fairly big local Magic tournament that required some role-playing, either by wearing some wizard hat and robes, bringing a miniature/statuette to represent you on the board or something like that, to get in the mood. Now, my father didn't have the money to sport dragon statuettes or pretend to be a Knight so he used an old costume of EL CHAPULÍN COLORADO(A spoof hero from a Mexican show) and brought a little plush bull with a tie(his excuse to call it a minotaur) in order to enter. He placed 4th, in what he described as "purely lucky matches against very frustrated mages".

Hey Spice, Thanks for the video. I picked Magic up around the Return To Ravnica block and was so enchanted by the artwork I felt that there HAD to be more story behind it. Cue an unsuccessful search for MTG books at my library, but I never got rid of my cards, even when I lost my MTG players' group. I recently stumbled across your channel and was once again entranced by the artwork, so much so that the art (especially that of the Simic Combine) has inspired me to write my own novel. I actually picked up a massive box of Gatecrash cards as well, in hopes of teaching some of my new friends (and for inspiration. Cheers!

As someone who hasn't played in about 5 years and had there blue black wins god deck stolen from him by another planes walker... How much of my own British currency should I drop on this game to start up again?
I would recommend putting aside maybe £50 to buy a fun commander deck that will never rotate out of the format and that you can play with your friends! I may make a video on this subject!
If there are commenters who leave paragraphs of vitriol about how I should starve to death in North Korea, all because I called Jacob Rees Mogg a dumb goblin, I doubt a diatribe on the failings of the "free" market would go down super well on the channel hahaha
Holy shit. I am watching this three years later, and am boggled by the fact that this vid is talking about ol' nicky bolas; it feels like a decade has happened in mtg product since we last were worried about that dragon clown, but it has been less than three years. Dude, thanks for that reality check. There is value in watching older archived stuff of your favourite content creators.
Can the Gatewatch die please? And maybe Bolas too? The current storyline is a bunch of angsty teens with *spaceee maggiicc* fighting a bigger angsty teen with *spaacccee maggiccc*. And don't tell me Bolas isn't an angsty teen - he has literal temper tantrums.
That's one of the things I liked about the Ixalan story; it was fun! There was minimal angst, it had humor and heart, and it upped the stakes for the upcoming War of the Spark set! I, personally, am excited to see what they do with Vraska's double agent thing.
Yeah Ixalan was a nice break from the Gatewatch idiocy that dominates the Magic storyline now. When Jace regained his memory again for the umpteenth time and Vraska was like "aww poor liddle Jacey" I almost lost my effing mind though.
Lol! I love this so much other than being bored of their story line. Wait. Why is Sorin a weeb? I don't remember any reference of him being an unsociable anime fan. 😂
Just getting back into Magic again after being out of the loop for a good bit. This was a great quick and dirty catchup. Really funny too. Great pacing and nice editing. Def earned my sub. (Side note - not that it matters a ton but wow you're handsome.)
A very long lore...I think it started in 93 or 94 with Dominaria and the Thran, Urza,Mishra, Yawgmoth, Gerrard....you have a very long story to read! But its very interesting and cool Lore

As a newer player to MTG...i absolutely loved this condensed lore vid. Would love to see your take on the entire timeline in a future vid
This videos thumbnail should have been *10 min of confusing but yet useful information about MTG universe*
Are planes flat? They're often depicted as such. But there are also round planets in the sky in some cards. How do physics work in Magic?
Obviously only flat surfaces can sustain life, which is why the Earth is flat and everything else in the sky is round.
"It just works"
What about crucible of worlds? Are all those planets planes, or do they just exist within one plane?
@BTIsaac Now that's interesting. I'm reminded of Super Mario Galaxy where there are round planets with multiple layers and flat-ish planets that have a black hole below them, so that you are pulled "down".
Poorly, that's how they work.
Marvel and DC: we have best constructed multiverse systems
Wizards of the cost : hold my bear
2/2
Don’t think they actually said that
Indeed, I shall hold that bear. What’s the worst that could happen?
*Surrak Dragonclaw*:\*anger noises*
Then there's CoD's Zombies Storyline... Which is catching up.
Will sorin ever escape from that rock???

I want him to make a surprise visit in war of the spark. I believe I saw him on one of the glass panels in the trailer.
