I just got into Magic when Bloomburrow was released, but I have undoubtedly been hooked by the game already. I'm happy to learn that there's also really cool lore attached to these silly cards too
Its quite impresssive that there has never being a set made in Shandalar. It has basically become the place were famous people meet out or arrive by chance to later go on to start making history elsewhere.
Some of the old core sets, like magic 2013, are set within Shandalar. When Dominaria narratively evolved past "generic fantasy," Shandalar became their go-to world for depicting that kind of setting, so its been part of at least a couple core sets.
I am surprised that there are so many planes that I have never heard about and isn't either a city or defined by a genre. I would like to see more of those.
Bear in mind, there are still more. This explicitly excluded ones that weren't on cards. Gastal is apparently where Akul came from, and we might see more in the coming years.
I think Vryn is coming in the race across three planes set. Jace is a POV character for this arc and they said they will visit a plane we have seen but not visited before.
Oh, i do beg to differ. I can see Red, Green & Black managing well, but anything Blue or White being relegated to madness and the pseudo-demonic we see in most expansions. Was said they have alot of angels & soldiers there so there's clearly settled native culture. I can respect a plane so alien in its natural laws that its potentially fatal. Fractal, crystalline natives that insist its all reliable and sensible to them that any newcomers have to depend on Heavily as guides. That as soon as you start expecting rationality, mere perception eats away at you like a corruption.
@@VBane i.e. it's an asspull by WotC who dropped the worldbuilding ball hard on OTJ. Cant wait for a return to form in Bloomburrow and hopefully Duskmourne minus the Nike trainers.
@@samcates5308 Eh, it doesn't bother me that much. Cactusfolk is a natural mix of mtg and wild west, but they didn't want there to be native sentient species because they both didn't want to positively misrepresent that aspect of the Old West and also knew accurately depicting real world atrocities wasn't appropriate. Yeah, it would have interesting if they went into who or what was responsible for the cactusfolk emergence, but that didn't really tie into any of the story they were trying to tell so I get why they didn't.
The fate of Amonkhet still bothers me to this day. Imagine all the anticipation its people must have felt for the god pharaoh’s return, only to get the hour of devastation.
Ikoria is so awesome plane..Kaiju galore..and when you think you know who is Alpha there is always a bigger Alpha in Ikoria which storywise hilarious..Phyrexians found out and they got smashed..
Equilor seems super interesting. It's like Dominaria before Dominaria. It would be interesting to see a Core Set-style visitation to the plane in its prime thousands of years ago. Maybe each color of mana is represented by an atypical race. Things are mostly familiar, but just different enough to be interesting.
I really hope we get more setting books from the MtG multiverse for DND. While WotC might be an awful company, I do love the worlds some of their workers have created.
She literally burned MtG's version of "The Library of Alexandria" to the ground. One wonders how much knowledge was lost to the embers when that little pyromaniac decided to have a bad day there...
IIRC Chandra was studying in that plane where Jaya had some kind of fire school. The school's philosophy is personal freedom as long it doesn't harm others. A evil Order declared everything they dont like to be destroyed including the fire school and that area. The Order hired Jace to take a dragon scroll (which ended up being the ugin's ghostfire card and the trigger for releasing eldarzi in zendikar) from Chandra. The scroll was in that museum. Chandra attempted to take it back but got attacked and the museum was set on fire from it.
i wanna go to muraganda and see prehistoric magic, i don't care if we don't get the vanilla matters theme in the set, i just wanna see the entire plane cause it's been around since future sight and we've never gone there.
Oh? We're not going to cover Bablovia?!!? Sure, maybe its not cannon being all Jokey-Jokey, but that doesn't mean a lack of lore! You've got less guilds than ravinica with each nearly godly power that probably led to the insanity. You've got Crossbreed Labratories and their universities with about the same goals as Simic but even more drastic. Anything from lawful cyborgs and clockwork mansions to Brainstealing that somehow doesn't do lasting damage and is a neat opt out to Mortality. The practices of the science taken to so far an extreme that they've forgotten their founding histories, there's beuty to the Unhinged~
@@malxire Oh, I know. I wasn't expecting them. I made the comment mostly to highlight the fact that the game goes quite a bit farther even than all this.
@@ICantThinkOfAFunnyHandle That "doesn't fit flavorfully" is your personal, and in my opinion pretty out there opinion. Yes, some people might not like the flavor, but that is different from "it objectively doesn't fit MtG" which it doesn't. Don't bother coming up with excuses for trying to force your own tastes on others. And for the "powercrept" thing, we don't even have enough information about it yet to say that. So, again, comes across as unwarranted negativity.
Say what you will about Magic, but the Outlaws of Thunder Junction was an absolute dogshit set and I’m looking forward to it fucking off with Bloomburrow taking centre stage in August.

Welp there’s a reason it is called cardboard crack : D

I think this is most "honor" the old Magic The Gathering PC game, which is our first visit to the plane
Or a ram to break thru interplanar boundaries.

SAME HERE
CMON WOTC GET ON IT
I wish they would make another pc game like shandalar.

I timed my run to this video and thought I was killing it at Zendikar. Then you said "The Abyss"
I think Vryn is coming in the race across three planes set. Jace is a POV character for this arc and they said they will visit a plane we have seen but not visited before.
I feel like it’s going to be Xerex, Kaladesh, and that fire plane that only has red and black mana.
@@Case2_0 Yes, Kaladesh for sure.
Xerex seems simultaneously the most interesting and the most impossible to write out of all the plains.
You said it! I really hope to see a visit there some day.
The potential seems endless
Yeah that just makes me wanna see it more lol
I wanna see muraganda lol

I would take-it as in the manga Blame! or any procedural generated dungeon-crawler when writing about it.
Thunder junction was uninhabited but also has the catcus folk , idk if its an oversight or not, but I feel its weird no one has pointed it out.
I’m pretty sure the cactus folk only became sentient after the omen paths opened up.
Their animation, sentience and sapience didn't come about until after the omenpaths opened and settlers came. What triggered it is unknown.

@@VBaneokay but where did Gisa get all the bodies from. They were buried well before the omen paths opened according to the story
i really hope that we eventually get Shandalar featured in a premier set. its got so much history and yet has so much room to grow
The fate of Amonkhet still bothers me to this day. Imagine all the anticipation its people must have felt for the god pharaoh’s return, only to get the hour of devastation.
I get it must feel bad to those who would've loved an egyptian mythology set. But I liked it as the one time the gatewatch properly loses.
I got into magic right around when amonkhet and ixalan came out, those two are my favorites 👍🏽
same, love Amonkhet.
Ikoria is so awesome plane..Kaiju galore..and when you think you know who is Alpha there is always a bigger Alpha in Ikoria which storywise hilarious..Phyrexians found out and they got smashed..
What I learned from this video: THERE ARE A LOT MORE FRIGGIN PLANES IN MAGIC THAN I EVER REMEMBER!!! Holy crap! lol
1 or more a set 4-6 sets a year for 30 years
Bought the Plane-Chase cards, and this is an absolute treat.
They should release a collection of Lore books explaining all these stuff
Watched this video 3 times now. It's really interesting, but it also helps me fall asleep :)

Some new planes that I didn’t know about. Very cool
Champions of Kamigawa was my first ever magic set and every time I see cards from Kamigawa, I feel very nostalgic.
Wow, I am impressed how much details this goes into.
Duskmpurn, Ixalan, Kamigawa, Xerex sound like they might be my faves
This is amazing. Thank you!
I really hope we get more setting books from the MtG multiverse for DND. While WotC might be an awful company, I do love the worlds some of their workers have created.
Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica will always be my favorite source book because of the love and care that went into it
Im surprised there are no time stamps. Great video as usual 😁
I absolutely love this !
Urza was so powerful he created a planeswalker, Karn. Karn was so powerful he created Mirrodin.. why skip that?
To split hairs, there were a lot of extra steps to making Karn a planeswalker, not just making Karn and creating a spark for him
Time stamps on the video would be nice so i can rewatch my favorite plane's lore easier
So much potential. Dont worry wizards won't do anything good with it.
OH LFG LOREBRARIAN PLAYS MTG
28:15 what the fuck is Chandra’s problem?
She literally burned MtG's version of "The Library of Alexandria" to the ground. One wonders how much knowledge was lost to the embers when that little pyromaniac decided to have a bad day there...

@@beachballofdeath8888 ahhh ok, thank you for the clarification!
He didn't said Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar

I thought I knew a lot of planes, boy was I wrong. Now I need more Xerex cards in my life
Any chance you could post credits for the music used in this video?
Any chance you could shut up?

Now we know ! Nicolas Bolas, Phyrexia and the Eldrasi, are the core of all bad Things happened to the planes !! ( on a greater scale )
Hell yeah.
I'm disappointed you didn't refer to Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar by his full name.
Bro dealt with 2 of the more complex planes in the simplest ways possible in the first 2-ish minutes. Respect
Not taking the opportunity to fully pronounce Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar? fr?
Just call it Asmo.
You didn't include all the Universes Beyond planes...
Those don't count apart from maybe the forgotten realms and then is pretty on brand and on lore to left out
@@malxire Oh, I know. I wasn't expecting them. I made the comment mostly to highlight the fact that the game goes quite a bit farther even than all this.
ERM 🤓☝what are viashino I think you mean lizards
They lost their creature type, but they didn't lose their name.
Rabiah is cool. Nowadays though, I believe that WoTC has bound itself too tightly within PC culture to ever bring it back, which sucks
Duskmourn, back rooms but crap.
Ah yes, unwarranted negativity, and extreme reductionism to anything one doesn't like, even before the set comes out. Never change MtG fandom.
@@RowanHGpeople don't like the powercrept set which doesn't align flavorfully with the rest of magic? Who could have seen this coming???
@@RowanHG am i wrong? i would rather have another Core Set then another Commander Set disguised as Standard set.
@@HappyNoob17YT You don't have enough information to even say that yet, so yes, unwarranted and hyperbolic negativity.

MTG inspired the man to go after the president yesterday. You could see the MTG in his eyes
i bet he played red and died like a true mogg fanatic
...if we're REALLY going there...wouldn't he be an Alaborn or a Calimani nightstalker, _maybe_ a Talas, as they're the only ones with guns?
MTG finally based? 😲
Say what you will about Magic, but the Outlaws of Thunder Junction was an absolute dogshit set and I’m looking forward to it fucking off with Bloomburrow taking centre stage in August.
Reprint and gameplay wise, It was neat. But yeah, the story went downhill. Felt like an unset
Where the fuck is Pyrulea
