Bro, the efforts that goes into these are much appreciated.

Thanks, happy to deliver!

@vonvinklestein9058 3 года назад

These are my fave mtg lore videos, pls make more!

@TheLorebrarians 3 года назад

So glad to hear it! I love making them, but they definitely take some time and research

@jonbaird8835 3 года назад

A tale about amonkhet, innistrad, or the blind eternities would be ever so awesome

@joedelavigne-ward3031 3 года назад

Would love to see one of these on zombies

@justiceblack1222 10 месяцев назад

Me too

@garyfindlay8052 3 года назад

I love this. You so concisely explain the lore., you deserve so much more recognition. Great content.I really hope you get round to doing an "explained' for all the planes.

@TheLorebrarians 3 года назад

Thanks so much and glad you enjoy the content! The goal is to cover each plane at some point, so there will definitely be more plane explained videos in the future

@ElPayasoMalo 7 месяцев назад

I was surprised you didn't mention Kagemaro, the first human in Kamigawa to be so evil, he became a demon.

@Sometuy11A 4 месяца назад

@spencerb669 3 года назад

These are by far my favorite type of lore videos you or anyone else make. I can't wait to see what other creature types you choose.

@bradsimpson8724 2 года назад

Innistrad has been my favourite plane lore-wise since it was first introduced, and a large part of that ties back to the angels versus demons element. I have built hundreds of commander decks and will probably build hundreds more, but I will always have an angel deck and a demon deck.

@jamesmoore1317 2 года назад

Wowie, so much research and care must go into these videos. I STAND IN AWE of the knowledge ! To the Lorebrarians, please know that you work is very much appreciated! :-) I have been playing MTG sine the beginning, I was a comic/card/collectibles dealer on the East Coast back in the day and a professional appraiser / grader . Of all the things that have come n gone, MTG has endured and is greatly loved;and you guys do it justice. Thank You so much ! Please keep up the great work :-)

@TheLorebrarians 3 года назад

@zimoy.701 2 года назад

It's also interesting to note that, as certain pieces of magic story show, some demons are actually quite human (specifically the ones on Ravnica and Innistrad).

@laszlokaszas1003 3 года назад

After the dragons and angels the only iconic creature types left is hydras and sphinxes, but both of them underrepresented in the lore of MtG. Still little salty when I read that dragons will be headmasters at stixhaven, the ONE place where sphinxes are practicly made for

@yaboimerc7820 Год назад

You make a very fair point. But can I offer the counterpoint that Sphinxes may not wanna share their knowledge? Thus a school simply wouldn't be up their alley, yanno?

Also the abyss is definitely the one from dnd that spawns demons eternally.

Much love from Argentina. And btw I propose "A study in Nature: Elfs in Magic the Gathering" as an idea from a future video

@TheLorebrarians 2 года назад

Awesome, welcome to the channel and thanks for the suggestion! Elves are a classic creature type

@DiceTry 3 года назад

Great job as always man! I am really digging this close looks at such an iconic creature type. Do you think you'll do this for other major creature types?

@ericep7117 Год назад

This is a WONDERFUL story. The way you present it, it is as if these cards were unearthed at a Demonic Ritual Site, and their capricious writings capture a story of divinity, but only for those who have some sort of esoteric reverence. I'm not kidding! I played Magic Cards when I was young, and if you had told me then that the little writings on each card told a story of fantasy-history when combined with the image on the card and even its function(!), I would have told you that was literally impossible, and if it were true then the cards are true as well. :X-Files Theme:

@Ash-qp2yw 3 года назад

I always love these videos. Kinda sad my boi Davriel and his demons didn't get a shout out in Innistrad though

@TheLorebrarians 3 года назад

You're right, bit of an oversight on my part. I'll have to make it up to Davriel in the future

I always thought that Xathrid was the "black mana" region of Shandalar, like Evos Isle is the "blue mana" region, Thune is the "white mana" region, Kalonia is the "green mana" region, and Valkas is the "red mana" region.

In the D&D cosmology there is a plane called The Abyss, which is also ruled by demons.I wonder if it's just coincidence?

Good video, but I don't remember there being a 10 year break from publishing Demon cards "due to social and cultural" issues...and I started playing while we were still having to deal with the Bible thumpers calling it "that black magic game" lol

@TheLorebrarians 2 года назад

Appreciate it. Here is the article that mentions demons: magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/making-magic/walking-undead-2011-10-17 I think it was about 7 years, but I wasn't playing back then

@AibaunaGuara Год назад

For some reason the years of DnD and Pathfinder make me unable to see demons as mainly black instead of equal parts red and black. Also, the devils being mostly red (especially with the smaller fiends of Innistrad) makes me even more uncomfortable to use the arts or run campaigns in the MtG planes.
