Dawn of the Phyrexian Invasion - Official Cinematic Trailer - Dominaria United | The Brothers' War 

He just chain of vapored himself.

defenestrate is a black spell. esper teferi coming in Phyrexia All Will be One

🤣🤣

@@DreadSkulll Next level comment 😂😂😂

Beat me to it! Ajani just gained 3 health

"Running, dodging, hiding... it's what you do best."

I understand, but as this is Phyrexian Ajani, and as a blue myself, I’m happy seeing Ajani get launched off the cliff.

Blue is the color of cowards and weaklings

I usually play mono blue, but I only have like one counterspell. I use instants like Turn To Frog and Serpentine Ambush.

@@lucasriddle3431 wrathing too. Destroyed artifact window and planeswalker

so ajani's right here? just asking as a newbie

@@oberschnerpfel Yes, but as of the newest set no too.

@@chrisstephens923 ok perfect, how do i check out the lore the best way? i am noob player but since the nineties and i would love to understand the "main story" ? if there is something like that?

@@oberschnerpfel magic arcanum (yt channel) has a lot of lore videos, especially that cover the lore of recent sets that can help at least familiarize yourself with current events

@@oberschnerpfel Every set is pretty much a continuation of the main story. The protagonists are planeswalkers and go from plane to plane, so they're always involved. There's no easy way to sum it up, but there should be videos that cover it.

very good

Good

At this rate they could make a full on MMORPG.

Good

Good project is awesome.

That Line was Brutal !

Destroy target planeswalker

Yep he phased out his home continent and don't have the spell to return it.

Ajani's truth bomb went back to the Mirage set.

Emotional Damage

Didn’t even catch that

"Rage is not the answer. Rage followed by fitting vengeance is the answer." -Ajani

2:12 could have been lightning helix. I honestly hope so, it would be a great reprint, even becomming pioneer legal

@Jürgen Hanewald It could just be a reference to Shards Ajani having a -3 that was a lightning helix effect with the set being about the past so don't hold your breath. Still hopeful tho ngl 😅

@@jurgenhanewald673 it is lightning helix, which doesn't mean it's reprinted, and shouldn't imo, it's a bit too good for my taste, and with it, burn in pioneer will only lack lava spike compared to the modern version, which is rather scary to consider

XD

I bet Warhammer has a lot more animated stuff then Magic the Gathering.

@TheStanislavson unfortunately not bro

Well we have the edition trailers (as a huge Tyranid fan the 10th edition one is fire as hell) and the gamemode ones (Kill Team and Horus Heresy) but they aren't as frequent as the MTG ones.

Their Netflix animated show is supposed to come out by the end of 2022, but I'm worried that's not happening at least not in that timeframe since we have yet to see any trailers for it. I am a little worried about it, because we know it's supposed to center around the Gatewatch, but Mark Rosewater has said that while the series will respect the characters and worlds, that it will have its own continuity

Yea I forgot about that because it was so long ago that they announced it. I dunno about having it on Netflix either

They are.

Every time a company makes a video like this it never makes me excited for the product, it just makes me wish they would make a real show.

Budget

I like him as a character, but god all his cards piss me off immensely

Yeah, it makes him an open target. My Teferi who slows the sun is insta targetted by Planeswalker removal ; ; aint nobody got time to see me thrash them with Teferi apparently.

The cards reflect the man.

@@MrTomemac It's surprising considering it's the only bad teferi out there

@@danieltaddeo4499 i don't understand the hate, but that might be bias as the only Teferi user in my group lol

Nah, now it's just a couple mediocre short stories for a single set then spoilers are already out for the next one before half of us even know whats going on. Bring back blocks, and the books please.

WOTC didn't create MTG. They did what all rich people and companies do, steal or buyout the franchise and squeeze every little dime out of the fans at every given opportunity. Richard Garfield tried to fix this crap show when he created Keyforge, but nope. People still want to give blindly to a game that has become nothing more than an pay to win hustle where micro-transactions are the norm.

you mean how they're borrowing from an actual successful storyline and "reimagining" it in a worse way?

why does it need to be an either or, why not both?

Three decades. Phyrexians were the original hidden-villain when Magic first came out in the 90's. But they've evolved over time. They used to be more terminator-robot-army-and-gorehouse-screaming-cyborg monsters, under Yawgmoth. The whole 'soul eating infectious nanomachine curse transformation' thing is relatively new. To me at least.

Probably one of the best evil "species" in all of fiction. I love them so much too !

@@mitchhaelann9215 Thanks, I've been interested in looking into Phyrexian history but 30 years of content is difficult to get caught up on. I noticed they underwent something of an aesthetic change but Elesh Norn's creepy porcelain monsters are some of my favourite bad guy looks ever. I'm looking forward to Phyrexia set in Febuary just because I know there's gonna be some really good art in there (mostly because some of it leaked already but still).

@@Toffeehammer I can give you the short version of their history. SPOILERS AHEAD Seriously, stop looking, Spoilers. Alright, you asked for it. So it all starts with the Thran. A mighty empire of sorcerors and artificers on ancient Dominaria. They developed the ability to MANUFACTURE new planes, condensing space and time inside Powerstone artifacts that they used as batteries in all their magical-technology. Half the alternate planes you could visit in early MTG lore? Were inside power stones. They didn't know magic had colors. All mana was colorless to them. And they used it in everything. Magical jewelry with cosmetic illusions, flying cars, everything. But too much mana isn't healthy, and a plague started to creep through their society. They kept trying to cure it with their normal methods, which made it worse. A Planeswalker revealed herself to their greatest artificer, who had a latent Planeswalker Spark himself, and offered to help them find a cure. But the Thran also turned to a renegade and semi-heretical physician who studied non-magical healing, and magics from the 'barbarian peoples' outside the empire, and who came to understand that mana comes in different colors. That physician was Yawgmoth. Remember that name. He figured out the real cause of the plague, and how to manipulate it. The planeswalker opened up one of their power stones and showed them both the nine-layered plane inside. She said they could use it for resources and to study to so they could find a cure. Long story short, he murdered the planeswalker slowly, dissecting her and her soul until he isolated her Spark. He could replicate its EFFECTS but could never take it for his own. But he could seize control of the plane, which he did. He told the thran he could keep them safe from the plague if they isolate there, and millions followed him, into slavery. Into (old) Phyrexia The artificer bonded the portal, in the Caves of Coilos, to Phyrexia to a power stone, locking his soul to it, then split it in half, so it could never re-open so long as they stone was split in two. That's important. The thran empire collapsed, most of its machines fell apart except for a few that their slaves maintained, and the 'savage tribes' outside the empire forgot about them outside myths and traditions of not using artifacts or machines. The two important ones were the massive facility thet they used to produce powerstones, still crewed by smarter-than-average-but-not-by-much goblins, and Viashino lizard people, and the Null Moon, a small moon-sized White Mana Battery that soaked up and charged itself automatically with white mana. For thousands of years. A few thousand years passed. Inside Phyrexia, Yawgmoth experimented with selective breeding (every non-artifact Phyrexian monster before the Mirrodin block was actually derived from human genetics), mutations from excessive mana exposure (mostly black mana), and cybernetics. Eventually, two idiot brothers found the Caves of Coilos while studying ancient artifacts and trying to become engineers in their own rights. Urza and Mishra. They found those two stones, fought over them, escalated into a war that nearly destroyed Dominaria. Urza won, took the Mightstone and Weakstone, and lodged both of them inside his own skull, taking their power as his own and getting semi-possessed by that ancient artificer who whispered into his subconscious. And gave him access to his Planeswalker Spark. Urza did a lot of stuff, made some friend, made twice as many enemies, and accidentally opened a small portal to Phyrexia. The old phyrexians decided to start their triumphant return and conquest, but quietly. They began a generations-long infiltration program with sleeper agents and spies. Urza began a generations-long armament program, creating The Legacy (a collection of powerful artifacts that, when used together, would form a doomsday weapon like no other), but he also created bio-engineered armies, clockwork and golem armies, war machines, colleges of advanced magics to help him produce more and more powerful ages and weapons, and a secret breeding program to try to mass-produce perfect commanders and leaders for the coming war. He also created a perfect guide and index, to train and teach the Perfect Leader how to use the Legacy Weapon. An intelligent, sapient golem of solid silver. That's important. So eventually the war comes, Urza personally leads a collection of five Planeswalkers in a strike into Phyrexia itself, setting of plane-destroying bombs on each of its layers, thought they failed on one or two, and Yawgmoth destroyed most of the 'walkers before seizing mental control of Urza and Gerrard, the Perfect Commander. The assembled armies stalemated the Phyrexians mostly, until the Silver Golem, named Karn, realized he was the missing piece of the Legacy weapon, and turned himself into the targeting computer, the Weatherlight airship into the barrel, and the Null Moon (mega-mana-battery moon) into the ammo supply. He dumped nearly-infinite white mana into a portal right into Yawgmoth's black-mana-soaked-heart, killing him. The power overload merged Karn with the rest of the legacy weapons and imbued him with an artificial planeswalker spark, after which he left for parts and planes unknown to mope about breaking his vows of pacifism. With Yawgmoth dead his army fell apart. Survivors retreated to the smoking ruins of Phyrexia, or scattered across dominaria. Karn eventually built his own plane called Mirrodin, inside the Mirrarri artifact. He was trying to create a paradise and a perfect world. Didn't work out well. The descendants of Phyrexia's more stable abominations and the remaining ageless survivors (who knew how to easily build dimensional portals) invaded Mirrodin, and used the resources there to upgrade themselves. Cybernetics turned to liquid metal, bio-enhancement grafts turned to magi-nanotech, eugenics programs started to ramp up, and they developed Mycosynth, then the Black Oil. They took the creation of the being that killed their god and corrupted it into a new home, a New Phyrexia. They aggressively expanded, accelerating their horrific improvement-at-all-costs, forced-evolution policies, until we got the Compleation and Cenobite-knock-off body-horror we see today. And that's the short version of the History of Phyrexia.

@@mitchhaelann9215 Huh. Thanks for taking the time to type that out. I assumed the Glistening Oil had been a thing from the start but I guess it's more recent? Seems like they just give somebody a spritz with that stuff and boom, loyal Phyrexian. When does the sylex nuke fit into all that though? Teferi's visit to Urza right after he sets that thing off seems to be the biggest story event lately.

Fatal Push

@@chester1882 Ryan George: being fatally pushed *is* pretty fatal yeah

@@strangelaw6384 err i think that was a joke, in reference to a card in the game called “Fatal Push” my friend. Oh wait, did Ryan George actually say sometime?

Whoa i didn’t get that until now. By the way, is anyone talking about how crazy it is that that Jaya is like 1600 years old and has survived sooo much but yet gets killed by simply getting … pushed? SMH. You’d think she’d have a spell in her arsenal for flight by now…?

@@AnimefortheLazyman I know, I was just having fun in my own way. No, he didn't. Let's hope we do get a MTG tv show in the future so he can pick it apart in a pitch meeting :3

Only the ones that can't fly

Actually, I think that was an Unsummon. Or maybe a Hero's Downfall?

How funny would it be if that was fatal push though

he also got thrown through Jaya's glass stained window...which he killed

@@yosefzanerva806 maybe an realy epic downfall

✍🏻✍🏻🎉🎉⤴️⤴️🎁🎁..

Phyrexians drew me in, too, such cool art.

🤣🤣

Actually he has, from a certain point of view

He even used force lightning (helix)

"Teferi, i hate youuuuuu"

He never had the higher ground though

Exactly. With this quality I'd be happy with a half hour show.

Or an Animated Netflix series

I would pay 100$ for a ticket to a full length movie with this quality.

Shit like this cost enormous amounts of money and takes forever. 90minutes movie would probably take like 7 to 10 years to be released. But yeah that cinematic really gave me blizzard vibes in terms of greatness

@@crazedlink already in production, their website says it should come out in 2022, but that’s probably not the case

Nah man, Fight With Tools by Flobots or Schism by Tool(but all the instances of lover replaced with brother) would be perfection

@@MatthewCJoy Nah man, they use no magic, they just punch each other, with dead silence

No silly. The set is called "Brother's War". Why would they show Urza and Mishra? Think like WotC.

@@Archerforthelord No. I am thinking as a fan and who knows a bit of the Magic lore. It IS Brothers War, NOT Teferi's War.

@@P3RDT0 And that's the problem. Darth Maul white tigers and minority time mages sell packs not two elderly WASPs. WotC is going to get you and me irrespective this is for normies.

yes it would! * in desperate voice * *PLEASE BRING BACK DUAL DECKS AND CLASH PACKS*

Except that in general azorious usually beats selesnya or whatever WG is.

Oh man. Take a bunch of old Ajani cards like Ajani's Presence and Ajani's Pridemate but give them Phyrexian art.

That's a product I'd buy

@@RobMedellin I mean, they could make some cards uncounterable and indestructible for Ajani to level the playing field

First requirement of a fun fact: it must be fun

@@jonathandevereaux298 I thought it was fun/cool that someone who looks like Teferi plays like he would

That would involve WotC giving people what they want though.

@@lukesdewhurst and of course we can’t have that

Who's to proof the return of investment of a video costing a few hundred thousand a minute. If it was profitable, they'd have been doing it for ages. No profit, no series.

@@goldenpony822 my dude think how many people played mtg for the first time after that amazing war of the spark trailer. The real reason would be they wouldnt want to share the license with the likes of Netflix, the same reason you dont see any warhammer shows and movies.

@@goldenpony822 This video and the views in a couple of days is the proof.

Be careful what you wish for. With WotC and Hasbro at the helm of production, it’s doubtful a MTG Animated Series would have the same level of quality as something like Arcane

Don't. They are likely just gonna mess it up like up like the overwhelming majority of adaption trainwrecks out there. Enjoy the stories in your head. They are far better than what some corporate run media assembly line can come up with.

I thought Netflix was making a TV series for magic the gathering?

@@sengvang9023 ya, but it was also supposed to be screening this year. which isnt happening at this point. it was also supposed to be directed by the ruso brothers, which also isnt happening anymore. frankly, things arent looking good.

@@obliviousbookwyrm6907 *Points at Disney's MCU, then at Amazon Prime's Invincible* I mean, it's not impossible. It can be done.

For those that don't know, Lightning Helix is a red and white spell in Magic. However, the red identity is something Ajani made away with because he realized that rage cannot bring about peace, and formerly, the Helix was a tool of vengeance born out of sorrow for the death of his brother. But now it is a weapon not of vengeance, but of destruction, bringing about the same foul murder that awoke his spark in the first place.

Ajani really said "it's Lightning Helix time" and lightning helixed all over Teferi. Truly one of the spells of all time

@@Goatknyght Naya phyrexian Ajani time?

@@wetnoodle5471 would be nice. dispite being *from* naya, Ajani's never had a naya card.

I feel you That was the first red spell he casted in his life back in shards of alara Violence is not the answer, violence followed by fitting vengeance is!

And it went about as good as it does for us.

I want him dead so bad

I still root for Ajani. Looks like he was just taken by the Phyrexians.

@@QrazyQuarian hes done after this set im pretty sure. Sucks to see my favorite plainswalker has one final mediocre card

The pain of Time Spiral standard, where White Weenie was like a God until it ran into Teferi.

I don't know. I mean, in the abstract it's true, but how do I put it? "If you were one of Urza's protégés, you may be entitled to financial compensation."

Technically he didn't. Zhalfir is phased out but, as of now, can't be phased in anymore since he got disrupted when he tried during the mending.

@@Leidnix I'd say if your home phased out today you'd consider it destroyed. Lmao. It being lost in time and all.

@@Leidnix I doubt they will ever have him find a way to regain his home. He would lose all the traumatic aspects of his character's past that way. That would be similar as having Superman find a way to revive Krypton or restore the city of Kandor.

@@Elspethknighterrant You can't bring Zhalfir back, but if they're ever looking for a way to write him out, a one way ticket to Zhalfir works.

in time to catch his weapon too

*splintered bones*

Best cat.

The trailer doesn't even match up to the written stories we got on the official site.

@@Lycodrake unfortunately that's the state of things. This wasn't made to be lore accurate, it was made to generate hype

This could fit into the story, somewhere between DMU and BRO. Then we know that Ajoni survived the fall or sth?! It's nice cinematic tho.

Such wise words

Holy crap, that just sent a shiver down my spine! A mockery, nay, a perversion of the oath planeswalkers swear when joining the gatewatch! I love it!

i too like roleplaying

I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you.

@@abbygaleforcewind5179 perfect reference 👌

I will do ✋

Thanks for this, I was going to say that this whole arc is going to lead to Nicol Bolas being let out again. Can you imagine a Compleated Nicol Bolas??

Except it’s just Teferi’s spirit in the past. I’m skeptical if they will make that cause a change in the timeline. But you never know.

Bolas is meticulous, but I don't think even he could plan for this lol.

wait what? he was only supposed to observe the past, not change it...

Remember Nicol Bolas was in front of Teferi while the Mending is happening and Teferi is saving the Multiverse from crashing against each other. Probably that time he input a spell to Teferi like a Multiversal level Genjutsu to make Teferi back on time in case Bolas failed on something in the Future able to bring him back. Like Madara did.

He just needs a couple doses of horse de-wormer and he'll be right as rain.

I'm kinda on the opposite side of that fence. Don't get me wrong, I really like Ajani. But imagine a story arch where he & Tamiyo escape the final war with New Phyrexia, and begin to try and spread their individual ideologies of Phyresis to the multiverse. Hell, maybe Ajani can pull a similar trick he did with Bolas, and maybe give us our first Yawgmoth God Avatar card. That would be pretty sick.

The time traveller's the hero so you kinda know how this is gonna play out. Teferi will 'fix' it all but the history of the game will change just enough to create some even larger problem down the road as an unforeseen consequence. Personally, I kinda hope we get some replayed history of the game's earlier sets where everything's just a little bit off and we get to watch it all unravel.

@@TheHandicat I want to see Ajani healed but shunned. Cast aside because of his deeds. I only want him healed after he has down very foul things for Phyrexia. I want to see the journey he has to go on afterwards. Does he redeem himself? Or fall victim to despair. I'd also love to see him decide to use every ounce of his being to bring Phyrexia to its knees

@@Nova-zk5gn Ajani already went through that arc back in Alara. He was temporarily boros aligned and did a lot of brutal things in the nams of vengeance.

✍🏻✍🏻🎉🎉⤴️⤴️🎁🎁..

Arena already has 2 voice actors for Teferi. I guess WotC simply can't decide what voice to give him.

Don't forget Ajani charging like a green beast.

Teferi just sprayed water in a bad kitty’s face. 😂

White/red specifically for that righteous aggression. And he got a lightning helix in there.

@@nunyabiznes7446 Really good point, maybe we could see a hybrid coloured naya Ajani.

It's showing his age. It's important to remember that he's *ANCIENT* by the standards of most modern Planeswalkers, and remembers a time when Planeswalking worked differently.

That would be awesome I think. There is actually an animated series for Netflix in the works but it's going to probably release in 1-2 years and all we know is the Gatewatch will be featured. Maybe if that's ever a success we can hope to see more such content.

@@ryancameron4170 I do have a concept for a MTG movie series that I’ve been working on

100% it would be amazing. Jace has been center stage for a long time but with these new sets going back to Dominaria the timing could be perfect. MTG and WotC make it happen!! I love all the books there is so much to pull from. The Thran and Yawgmoth as flashbacks is the right way to do it.

They are so in line with what you think that they already made Kayla Bin Kroog black in this set.

🤤 yessssss....

If they do what arcane did they would make money like crazy

They are. Chandra is the main character.

@@project_swift that fell apart a year ago.

The big issue is like Warhammer40K, where would you start?

@@DUxMORTEM at the beginning?

trailers need not be canonical.

i took it more as a fun show case

Good CG like this costs more money than you think, and i don’t think MTG has the money you all think it does. Video game companies like LOL & Cyberpunk probably have a lot more

@@AnimefortheLazyman Wizards Of The Coast (owners of MTG and D&D) definitely has the money for a series.

@@AnimefortheLazyman They print rivers of money what are you talking about

Who did he voice here and whats his full name?

@@moanguspickard249 Keith Silverstein, mistyped his name the first time and he's Teferi

I want to actually see a full length movie now and Dominaria would be the World to do it on.

@@jaredstivers I would prefer a movie set on Ravnica. The guilds and their conflicts would provide great material for a movie, or even a series (tho i am kinda biased since i started playing mtg during GRN release)

@@axyzmementomemoir3725 why not both?.jpg

@@gozillabk Agree, it could be a trilogy. One set in the Brother's War, one One the fall of the Guildpack and one on the release of the Titan (Eldrazi). Innistrad might be a hard sell sell since it's subject matter since the IP. That would be a great introduction to the non Magic crowd a dose of MTG Lore. Plus the three movies could complete there sagas in other movies.

Yes, his sweet voice is recognizable

I think you are putting too much into this set. They will find some way to make it all about profits at the expense of people like always.

it wont be enough, pretty soon magic will be nothing more then universes beyond, the brothers war is the final universes within set of this year that really matters and after that maybe some decent reprints when jumpstart hits in december

Just trying to stay optimistic, but that is sadly true

But we already have seen the brothers war. It is not a new thing but a repetition. It is like a remake of movie you already watch. Time travel is scrapping the bottom of the barrel.

There's one coming out on Netflix in probably 1-2 years. It was announced back in June 2019 and will feature the Gatewatch is all we know currently about it. I do hope it gets received well so we get more content like this. A show which was set during the time of the Brother's War I think could be really neat.

U notice how ajani casts lightning helix like he does on the cards art

pretty sure he casted Lightning helix

@@cesaralfonsofrancoibarra8895 I kinda forgot he could cast spells, that makes sense

He's serving a higher purpose now

Well that's the focus point of the trailer ,seeing how the phyrexians have twisted Ajani not Teferi going back to the past

@@theone9132 how dare you

@@a.artmaster8733 The Phyrexians have infiltrated the comments! Section! Nowhere is safe!

this would be pretty awesome :D

Assuming compleation is irreversible, then ill speculate. Oerhaps urabrask can play a part in flooding ajani with more red mana than white. Making ajani more like urabrask, freedom and let me do my thing kinda dude. Which is i think is d reason why urabrask is against norn

You literally rip off your limps and organs and replaces it with gears and oil. It is irreversible. Ajani, right now, is nothing but a zombie with a trapped soul.

Ajani is no Khajit lol

I hope for it, also I don't want them to do saving all people who got killed or compleated, it destroys all anxiety, hopefully they will only destroy phyrexians

Like he moves a chair and Urza and Mishra both end up with the wrong halves of the Power Stone.

Yes of course, planar chaos 2: Now with more phyrexians

Sounds about right. After all, he above almost all others should know how dangerous this is ... and that (though I can't see it happening) there is a non-zero chance of it destroying all reality ... again. At the least he has to learn that the Sylex is not something that should even be considered as an option.

Yeah, it's difficult to get hyped about MTG when WotC and Hasbro decided to make this 30th anniversary the greediest avalanche of anti-consumer tactics they've ever pulled. And it only seems to get worse every day. I'm surprised they haven't jumped on the opportunity for an Arcane-like tv show, seeing how they're ravenous for anything that could give them big bucks.

Technology has got better. But the human part like creativity has been depleted. The problem is everywhere you look in this last two decades.

@@Maverick2736 they've been in the process of making a magic the gathering tv show for Netflix, and it's been in development since at least before [WAR], and it's going to be an alternate continuity starring gideon and I think Jace.

supposedly, netflix should release on this year
