Building Worlds | Phyrexia: All Will Be One 

It's good to watch a documentary about Hasbro's board of directors.

Ok Screw Hasbro, But all hail the artists and story tellers that work on Mtg They are the true soul of the Brand, and the ones that do the heavy lifting at Wizards

Man, a book with their lore, language and architecture about New phyrexia will be a fixed purchase for me

Honestly the art for this set is what has me the most excited.

I Always wanted lore explanations like this

These are so much better than the overly scripted (often painful to watch) promo videos.

Gotta love how Kathryn talks about the praetors as if she knows them personally and gets coffee with them regularly, also as a conlang enthusiast I appreciate the work behind phyrexian and hope one day we will be able to read and speak it. It's always these talented and creative people behind these worlds and stories man, i love that, let us have more of that and less greed and nonsense

So glad they knocked it out of the park with the art direction. This is most metal set I've ever seen! No pun intended.

This is straight out of Hellraiser cenobite completion!

I want a Comic, a Netflix series, a book, a movie oh Just anything about this Set. Awesome to see how much love was put in here. Will there be a comic or anything? Neeeeed it! Series or book would be even more awesome

Looks like we're getting many returning and some new characters 3:20 Geth 3:36 Tekuthal (new) 3:39 Drivnod (new) 3:43 Soprandel (new) 7:37 Lukka (and Ruin? Possibly green allied) 8:59 Unctus 9:47 Vraan

So. Wizards of the Coast corporate overlords are Phyrexian. It all makes sense now.

These game designers and story crafters are still so passionate and great despite working for a braindead, greed monster of a corporation

I'm glad Ladee started doing these. She's a natural at hosting.

The inclusion of Rhystic Study was incredible.

Love how they describe the compleatition process in many phases, and in the storyline it's still seconds after dying that a character magically turns into a Phyrexian

I love that you got a linguist, it adds a level of depth and realism to the lore! "Speech is a mirror to the soul..." I wonder how you write/say "Lotus" in Phyrexian!

The art of this set is just insane.

This is gonna be my fav set of all time I feel, I love new phyrexia and everything in it, it’s speaks to me a way no other world does, I mean I’m a fan of the horrific feel compleation gives off.

I'm interested in learning to read/speak Phyrexian. If I recall, it's a perversion of Thran, specifically that it changed around Yawgmoth's name and epithets, and that the words needed to be pronouncible without lips. As for the set; I'm glad to see serious stakes in a plot again, and not just "here's 1 hero death, forshadowed, 2 randos we don't feel like writing about anymore, 1 beaurocrat, and 0 villain deaths." I actually feel some loss and have an invested interest. I know it likely won't be what happens, but part of me so wishes to see New Phyrexia start it's march, just for Emrakul and her brothers (c'mon, they've gotta just be licking wounds) to be lead to the plane and consume it entirely.

Wow. I wasn’t sure about getting into Magic, but the card art and designs are beautiful. This might be the expansion to sell me because all of it looks fantastic

I absolutely love biomechanical/biopunk design. Beautiful art . Can't wait to get my hands on this beautiful set

Until all are made one, I will keep watch

We need compleated versions of other Planeswalkers. Wanna see Liliana, Chandra, and Garruk's compleated versions.

The art direction is so good for this set. You can see the inspiration of H.R Giger in a lot of which I love

As someone who plays Magic since '99, this all is really exciting, but this also breaks my heart in so many ways.

Are you sure that's Ladee Danger and not Golgari colored Liliana?

It's beautiful to see who creates the game we love to speak about their passion, it's palpable they talk about what they love it's such a contrast with that infamous meeting with the CEOs and what little I felt they knew about the game Let's fire the CEO, let's make the people who love this game keep making it awesome! :)

Kind of wish there was a MTG show or movie or something cause this story is wild.

So excited for this set, I’ve been taking a break from MTG for about a year and this set I feel is gonna be the one to pull me back in

I genuinely cannot wait. Stunning work by the artists and everyone in-between.

Amazing video, amazing worldbuilding. Very impressed. Glad you did not fail to build upon the brilliance that was Phyrexia.

So... are we gonna get a guide to the Phyrexian language someday? Having a linguist is great and all, but it's hard to really see the linguistic work put into the set when the language is untranslatable (outside of WotC's offices)

Great video with the lore explanation, great set with all the new art. This is why i love Magic sometimes, Phyrexia just looks epic!

Ladee!!!! This was so well done, I am excited for this set 🤩

Good lord the art and story is phenomenal here. Gotta wonder what would happen if you pitted the all consuming Eldralzi vs the conquering perfectionists of Phyrexia.

More of these please, this was amazing. Some Books and Short films, shows would be awesome. MTG has so much potential to make an amazing book/show series. This is a great start.

12:34 Has to be my favorite part. That description was bone chilling.

Glad to see a lot of the community on here aren’t going to be ‘obstacles’ between Hasbro and ‘Their money’.

Wizards of the Coast: all DnD campaigns will be one

Insane art. Can´t be any more excited for this set coming alive!

This set actually got me so intrigued! I remember the chaos of new phyrexia, but until now hasn't appreciated the world design. Also Rhystic Studies well done my guy, absolutely love your channel!

Amazing documentary! Looking forward to more in the future. Wishing all the artists and developers good luck and great success.

Wow! What a video! Unbelievable art and storyline. I can't wait to see what happens!

I am terrified yet excited for this set as we are returning to the twisted plane of New Phyrexia, formally Mirrodin. Looking forward to this!

I really hope that all this juicy lore is published in book form somewhere. I'd love to have this on my bookshelf!

Yawgmoth meaning "Father of Machines" in the Phyrexian language is problematic. In the novel 'The Thran', Yawgmoth is simply his Thran first name. It would be a stretch to claim it already meant Father of Machines in Thran - the coincidence would be a bit much lol. But if the Phyrexian language evolved from the Thran language, which would actually make sense, then the word yawgmoth might have become synonymous with the man's title of Father of Machines. Someone has a better idea to explain this? It is sadly a continuity error, but I'm ok if we BS until it feels like it makes sense lol

15:35 that new Thrummingbird art is a beauty!

Love this video and excited for this set! Thank you for sharing this content ✨ I hope I can afford things from this set coming out. I was looking to get the Magic 30th anniversary set, that came out not too long ago, but it cost like 1000$ so I couldn’t afford it. I hope I can purchase this set coming out.

The Multiverse is huge. Even if the Phyrexians beat all the heroes, it will take them so long to actually conquer everywhere, Magic can just continue on as normal, as it will be lifetimes before some planes are affected. Even longer when the next inevitable multiplanar crisis occurs, as the Phyrexians would have to deal with it instead of the heroes. I hope the Phyrexians win, then we have a multiplanar set(s) focusing on the progress of the multiverse in general. We can finally see the names of all the nations, and their growth as crisis shock strengthens them to being so strong they eclipse what they were. Especially the evil nations, who are underdeveloped, because they cannot do anything useful for evil reasons, or it would interfere with the heroes' plotlines. We can also see people living their best lives in the taken world, hiding deep underground, in a supernatural realm, in space aboard magical spaceships that never need to land on planets. We can also see the heroes come up with a stable power structure, and struggling to manage a new nation effectively in the middle of nowhere and while they are really bad at it.

Dominaria Remastered isn't even out yet, brother's war prices have only just settled, and we're already full steam ahead on Phyrexia. Although absolutely fantastic deciding to get Rhystic Studies in on this, he's absolutely one of, if not the, best MTG content creator out there.

I could listen to hours on hours of Rhystic just talking about art.

I enjoyed this video, hopefully they will keep making these kind of videos with the explanation of the inspiration behind the theme, expansion so on. (I see a lot of influence from Zdzisław Beksiński)

I have never been terrified of a Magic set before, and I've been playing since 1996, which means I've been through three tours of Innistrad.

I love the linguistic approach to world and character building

would love a set during the time of the thran and yawgmoths creation of phyrexia

Such a cool video, beyond pumped!! All Will Be One

Perfect promo piece. Am excited!

"A satire of biology" is such a raw, chilling line. Well done Rhystic Studies.

MTG's Borg. I remember encountering them during Weatherlight Saga and was HOOKED! Same time as the Borg pretty much. Lets go!!!

This is the first time I’ve ever heard the Phyrexian language spoken! It makes me more hungry than before to learn the language. Please Wizards! I’m ready to be compleat!

This looks to be an epic set! Can’t wait!

Wait, did I miss something? When did we see "the beasttamer Lukka has been converted to their side as well" (16:24 timestamp)???

Love the lore explanations, shout out.

Can't wait to buy all these cool singles

Honestly who else but Ladee Danger!!!! 💖

NEW LINK OF STORY IN THE TWITTER BTW AFTER THE SHOW

See the world building is great and all, but the phyrexian language is comparable to black speech of lotr to me, and seeing phyrexian be expanded and fleshed out is the most exciting thing for me right now

The glistening oil kinda reminds me of the black goo from Alien. They’re both mutagenic liquids that are in a way intelligent and both significantly alter one’s body.

really nice lore explanation and mood to this one.

So glad they brought back Rhystic Studies again

Hiring Sam to narrate and do projects for them was hands down the best decision Wizards has made in a long time. Bravo Rhystic Studies 👏🏻

Wow! The art looks fantastic. I'm impressed by the attention to the lore too. Honestly, people grumble a lot but this is great. Really nice presentation to hype up fans and advertise the set

Oh god the music, art and Rhystic Studie's narration made me shiver

WoW, the arts are just amazing!

The what ifs blew my mind amazing art. Huge shout out to the artist

I'm excited for the land cycle they appear to be bringing back! 1:30

"You just slap an adjective to a word and it becomes longer, and longer and more difficult to read" - Yeah, as a German, I just realized that I might already live in New Phyrexia

I wanted them to lose in war of the spark and when they won I thought to myself well. Now every set going forward we know you're going to win cuz you got the super friends and they are not supposed to lose but I am glad we get a chance for them to lose and something new to be born from their ashes

That compleated Lukka art at 23:22 looks so painfully sweet! But the art released doesn't seem as-conpleated, were those just preliminary concepts?

All will be leaked!

Glad to see so much work put into a set that will be buried in two weeks by new products.

At first glance I'm thinking this was gonna be a 25min full on animated phyrexian video

love MTG, Thank to these artist, ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The art is insane!!

Tamiyo's eyes are straight up nightmare fuel. Great job illustrators, sheesh.

kind of want to see Phyrexian vs Eldrazi especially in MTG Arena.

im absolutely begging wotc to release some sort of massive lore guide as they bring back older planeswalkers and planes

So i have seen some spoilers but does anyone else feel like a deep sadness for some of these characters being tortured and formed into machines or os that just me? Like i have that feeling in my chest when your favorite character dies, when I found tamiyo was compleated i was very sad because her lore on kamigawa was portrayed as a mother and care giver. But when I found out ajani turned i actually kinda cried cause I felt like like my best friend had died( Ajani is my favorite lore wise character). I will say WoTC are doinga great job with this lore stuff but man idk if i can hold back the tears due to to many more of my favorites basically killed. Jace and Nissa turning phyrexian hurts... a lot as they were among the original 5. Only one left is Liliana of the originals and heck she was almost taken down aswell ( the reason she became professor Onyx). Maybe shell bring back Gideon to help in the fight even though she promised not to. Imagine it, Gideon, Enemy of Phyrexia or Gideon, Phyrexia's Demise.

Uuh, the Domini look sweet! Can't wait to see the cards?

More Ladee in everything please!

RHYSTIC STUDIES!!! I love that narration! Let’s go!

This story was so good I had to see how this was all constructed

It's great to see the artists doing such amazing work, and the writing wasn't bad. I just wished the actors had been given more (paid) time to rehearse more and familiarize themselves with the script enough to make it their own before this was shot. I'd say I was looking forward to the film, but with the CEO of Hasbro and the President of WotC in charge, I'm sure we will all be disappointed. Support your LGS! Play Premodern!!

I want every single card in this set this is sick

"We are Phyrexia, We will sew perfection into the the soft flesh of this world."

Chills Chills Chills Chills!!!!! Like the newly completed fingers of Tamiyo just grazed my nape. I'm geeking so hard right now 😁😁😁😁😁

Phyrexians are the good guys

I always thought it would be cool if they had more things kind of like the boss fights from like the theros sent where you can buy like the Hydra boss and fight the Hydra boss. Have more things like that wwerre it's like more alternative ways to play with the decks you have.

It is beautiful.
