I didn't even consider that *spoiler* Bolas was telling Liliana to raise the children as Zombies! That was the tipping point! I coukdnt work out why he was indicating to them! Thanks comment section for pointing that out.
Liliana was seeing a young girl trying to save her brother. Lili's own backstory is her in her youth trying to cure her brother but actually killing him (and ressurrecting him as a zombie) in the process. Its what gave her the spark.
Ive always had a rough understanding of the story and I'm glad I do. It's definitely not perfect, but im glad I was able to pick a few things out that others didn't see
Finally someone who knows the lore. I've watched half a dozen reactions to this and nobody seems to know about the contract or Gideon's shield. Good on ya mate. Definite sub.
Yea. I get the whole blind reaction? but why react to a trailer about a card game you got no interest in and dont plan to do? The war of the spark was a high peak of story conclusion to magic the gathering's lore and story. And so many reacted to it simply cause the trailer was making headlines and people jumped in on the hype train milking for views.
This so good! I bet it was hard holding your excitement in while you waited for this to premier! Great work numbers, this breakdown and reaction was a super great watch.
Would have loved to see this man seeing Gideon's Sacrifice for the first time cause after watching this trailer then cracking that card not know it existed messed with my heart
I Wonder if she was raising her hand to raise the kids as undead and then got her change of hearts or if she actually thougt of her Gatewatch Oath... probably both.
No .. as she see their fate backward.. she reminds her path to planeqaljer as a child, she had to take care of her young brother but failed and turn him into a zombie. Swing this put her into anger in the real time lapse, and she decided she had enugh being manipulated…
Not that I think this will happen, but if Bolas can absorb sparks, why not other Planeswalkers? I could see Gideon giving up his spark to Liliana to save her while also making her more powerful, this leading up to her doing this with other sparks. I wonder if in the teaser the last candle burning is Liliana with several absorbed sparks after using them to defeat Bolas, being the last Jedi..I mean, last Highlander...I mean, last Planeswalker in existence. If this is true, then she could use Teferi's powers to reverse time and everything that Bolas has done, throwing everything back to the original Ice Age. Just a crazy idea/theory of this End Game.
I feel like this has to do with time travel because of how the trailer goes backwards and forwards. Like Teferi fixing everything by turning it back or something?
This trailer is just epic! It brings so many emotions to see Liliana acting like that after seeing a girl with her younger brother.. like she and Josu once were.. when all has begun for her.
Thank god someone knows the lore. I didn't know it but I figured it out so fast. Idk why people make reactions without reading the lore (Or even knowing Gideon's ability)
Hey i wanted to say great video. I've personally never ever played magic the gathering(born in 91) but... you helped a lot with this information and wanted to say thanks and I'll subscribe no doubt to your channel.
What’s interesting about this trailer is that Gideon is focused on defending Ravnica against Liliana and the Eternals, while ignoring Bolas and the Citadel behind him. Why would he do this instead of using the blackblade to try to slay Bolas? Maybe he learned to take a less headstrong approach after the disaster of Amonkhet.
I think we have to remember Gideons origin, where he channelled all his attention to defeating the God ahead of him and all his friends were killed. He's wary of that and paying more attention to things around him maybe? Also, I'm assuming he was making his way towards Bolas, then got attacked by the horde so was more defending himself rather than looking to fight them?
@@MPNumbers I agree I think Gideon is one of the more important characters and I think he is going to take down Bolas and die saving Lily. Btw you just earned a sub my dude
SPOILER ALERT!!! Liliana is alive. She did betray Bolas, because she knew that what she was doing was wrong. But by betraying Bolas, she was ending her life. The card that represents her betrayal is called Price of Betrayal. And the italics read "The moment Liliana defied Nicol Bolas, her contract was broken, and her life was forfeit. But she was free to choose her fate, and she decided it was worth the price." But the event that takes place next is represented by the card Gideon's Sacrifice. Its italics read, "To Liliana's surprise, the cost of betraying Bolas did not fall on her." In other words, Gideon sacrificed his life to save Liliana. So yes, Gideon is dead. Nicol Bolas is defeated. And Liliana has gone into hiding because she was wrecked by Gideon's death. It was decided by the Ravnica Allegiance that Liliana was too dangerous to be allowed to live. And Kaya was hired to hunt her down. And the story ends there. We do not know if Liliana is alive or not. Gideon and Domri are dead. Bolas is not dead, but he is exiled into the Prison Realm where he will remain for all eternity, powerless and unable to hurt anyone. The End. So far.
People seem to miss that Liliana looks back at the people crushed and seems to absorb their souls...... AND then she gets the major change of heart and soul from the pain to turn on Bolas.
@@Fibblewinter almost? God would be a pretty accurate description of the Planeswalkers when they were Oldwalkers. I think he is just trying to go back to that level, he really doesn't need any more than that to be unstoppable
@@joshuaarnett762 Tis my point, he was a step ahead of any Oldwalkers. They were all pretty much immortal and extrmely potent but few had the ability to create or destroy worlds on their whim ( i can think of Serra, Karn and Bolas and that sums it up)... just imagine the old army of Urza and co battling in giants mech, they werent really gods.
So refreashing to actually see someone react to this that know's the actual lore. Seen so many. Oww.. dragon.. Oww cool blue skeletons.. Oww... She's on fire? So many reaction bullshit just goes with the flock and just reacts to shit they got no clue or purpose on what it actually is. A few i saw even said. oww this new game coming? This a movie? Could not even grasp they made this for a card game. Thank you for the explenation on what was going on.
What some folks fail to realize is B is not evil just very self-centered, self-motivated, and fairly amoral. Which is very very easy to create evil characters with and much more difficult to make good ones with. But, there comes a point where self-preservation becomes lower on your priority list even when your priorities center around you. In this case: - Bolas has her freedom, which is a very on color thing for a character in black to be pissed about. - Powerful Walkers have been toying with her life for a long time. - Seeing that girl and her brother die in that wreckage reminded her of her own life and how she lost everything. And the last thing you want to do to a character motivated primarily by getting what they want. is be the living effigy of what's been stolen from them. I don't expect she'll die. There's no more powerful force for a person than sheer, unmitigated spite. And there's no color more spiteful than Black. She doesn't give half a damn about coming out of this young and pretty anymore, she just needs to see Bolas dead.
Good analysis . She Indeed always gets the best of whoever thinks she's in one's debt, Bolas had it coming. She's one of if not the most powerful necromancer alive anyway, wouldnt be surprising if she could cheat death and come back as a zombiewalker^^.
Yeah I got the video a little early and was given the time to record and edit my reaction, but strictly was not allowed to talk about it until a minute after it was released officially
Nope Linkin Park, In the end, performed by Jung Youth and fluerie. But it absolutely sounds like evanessence right? If I didn't pick the words from in the end I wouldn't have picked it.
everyone is going to lose their spark then in 2 years some new Magical energy will let unique individuals travel between planes. or since wotc is copying infinity war i mean war of the spark come on guys half will die and then the half the remains will sacrifice them self so the ones that died can live on. all I am saying is it's not like death means anything look at elspelh shes "dead" so what she will be back in a year or two they keep making cards of her. Or this is the end of this timeline and we go back into a soft reboot and everythings fine.
I didn't even consider that *spoiler* Bolas was telling Liliana to raise the children as Zombies!

I was just gonna say, I agree!
At least you went to check the lore. So many other RUclipsrs have no idea about the lore.
Ive always had a rough understanding of the story and I'm glad I do.
It's definitely not perfect, but im glad I was able to pick a few things out that others didn't see
This really paid off to lore people
That was a moving trailer. Wish this was made into a movie.
I would watch the heck out of this movie!
Finally someone who knows the lore. I've watched half a dozen reactions to this and nobody seems to know about the contract or Gideon's shield. Good on ya mate. Definite sub.
Thanks!
I'm definitely no expert, but I like following the story.

Oh my God you couldn't believe it. I've been sitting on it for 2 days with a strict non disclosure and it almost killed me.

2 years later... you sorta got it... before you were "too far" lol
You think Gideon will shield her before she dies?
I don't know if he can transfer his shield?
And I coukdnt see it activating while he was being attacked, so maybe he can't use it at all?
@@MPNumbers oooh. IDK. His new card makes target creature indestructible. We'll see.
@@MPNumbers just want t say... :D i was right boom!
I feel like this has to do with time travel because of how the trailer goes backwards and forwards. Like Teferi fixing everything by turning it back or something?
I didn't even consider time travel being a theme, I thought it was just for cinematic purposes.
But that's very possible!
This trailer is just epic! It brings so many emotions to see Liliana acting like that after seeing a girl with her younger brother.. like she and Josu once were.. when all has begun for her.
Great observation with the spark!
Love this video mate, you are definitely coming along in the world!
Thank god someone knows the lore. I didn't know it but I figured it out so fast. Idk why people make reactions without reading the lore (Or even knowing Gideon's ability)
I'm definitely not an expert, but I follow the story loosely. Glad you got something from my vid!

Gideon’s Sacrifice must have blown your mind my dude lol

If u look closely... You'll see she does the symbol of her oath. The oath of liliana
The song is a cover of In The End by Linkin Park.
Anyone knows who sang the linkin park cover ?! :D
Looks like the artist was Jung Youth & Fleurie.
Isn't it an amazing cover?
I'm pretty sure Dack got stabbed in the back because you can see the eternal winding up a spear thrust during the rewind
Oh he definitely did get stabbed, what I was trying to say was that I thought he *only* got stabbed the first time through.
Is he dead though?
Awesome breakdown video!
Clearly the mother and child is a reference to Lily and her brother.
"So clearly what happend is..."
Me who never seen any of this in my life: "ha yes clearly...thats obvious."
Ha. Hopefully I explained the backstory and lore well enough to give you an idea!
@@MPNumbers that you did
Is he trying to regain the power he held during the age of the oldwalkers?
I have a feeling thays the overall plan!
@@MPNumbers of all Planeswalkers to get that power back, he is quite literally the worst possible
And even more so if possible. He was almost a god in his prime^^.
@@Fibblewinter almost? God would be a pretty accurate description of the Planeswalkers when they were Oldwalkers. I think he is just trying to go back to that level, he really doesn't need any more than that to be unstoppable

Liliana is an extremely powerful Necromancer. Death is but a minor hurdle.
awesome
Does anyone else want to see his reaction as he realizes Gideon sacrificed himself for liliana?
Anyone knows who sing this song?
Jung Youth and Fleurie is the artist!

Oooo what if that kid is the new and only plainswalker?
Yeah that kids super dead.
It's Nicol Bolas dying and I quit playing Magic 😥 #teambolas
