Every Legendary Vampire Ranked by L.O.R.E. 

Hello everyone! Just wanted to remind ya'll that while Sorin is a vampire, he's a planeswalker and not a legendary vampire creature. Planeswalkers get featured in the "Who Is..." series, so I deliberately leave them off of these L.O.R.E. rankings. Also, changelings and shapeshifters don't count either. Thanks for watching, and if you're one of my American friends, make sure you VOTE. We'll see ya!

But Ryan, how can we gauge a vampire's reflection if we can't see it?

One of these days ryan gonna make mistake and call his camerawoman bolas

"But, we're not here to talk about elves" Is that some foreshadowing I see?

I definitely love the LORE videos, good ideas and fun to predict the outcomes. Keep them coming!

The only argument I have is that Edgar should have a higher score, based on him being the first vampire on a plane filled with vampires. Also being grandpa to Sorin, who's been a major player in the storyline for a long time now. But either way, a good list and fun to watch. Quick question though, can I get my copy of Baron Sengir altered to put the golden mustache on him?

Yahenni is easily my favorite, a very interesting history and a very unique character.

I only recently realized that the Haunt of Hightower was actually legendary. Kazarov is unique in that the creature doesn't have to die to give Kazarov a counter :p

I just fell from my chair with the Senguir golden moustache. Best LORE until now. #ROFL

No honorable mention for Sorin Markov? I mean he is a vampire, despite creature types. Just looking at the C17 art for Blood Tribute made me immediately think its a Sorin + Olivia wedding when I heard the wedding announcement, and if that is part of the wedding Edgar is right there too.

Ayo! I was building a Edgar Markov deck as this was uploaded

Kinda surprised Olivia's reflection score wasn't higher. Sure her second card doesn't have much to do with anything but that first one has such delicious flavor.

Yahenni was one of my favorite characters from that story and always gave me Mewtwo "I see now that the circumstances of one's birth is irrelevent, it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." vibes

Mavren’s entrance in the story was one of the funniest things to have happened in the Ixalan story in my opinion.

I love these so much, cus it lets me learn fun little facts about the story I never knew! Can you do Angels next, Ryan? They're my favourite creature type!

Great entry to this segment I've been enjoying a lot. That's a loving way to cover a lot of lore at once. Perfectly justified choices in this one. The part about Baron Sengir gave me chills man, good job!

Great video! Absolutely loving this series!

I wasn't playing when the pre-mending stories were being written, but from reading them I've grown a lot more fond of old Magic lore and style then the new stuff

Yahenni made Top Ten! You did it, baby! I'm so happy.

great video, keep em coming!

Great video bud. I'm using my fall back hour to watch this and the Zombie LORE rankings

YES. thank you for showcasing and ranking my favourite tribe in the multiverse!

Was very surprised Sorin wasn’t on the list :0 love these videos - can’t wait to see more :$

Please keep these great LORE videos coming. I expect Merfolks very soon :)

I can't believe it's already been a year! Congrats!

I was waiting for this, vampires are my favorite tribe in Magic

Yay, finally a list where Drana goes up high, love these videos

Great video, I really liked it.

I knew it!! the crown and golden mustache belonged to the OG vamp daddy... One of my favorite cards, almost in every black/something deck I build is my foil BTD Sengir Vampire... never got the original Baron Sengir but now I might with Commander legends... Thank you so much for this video Ryan and Nicole! Happy Halloween to both of you and your families!

I'm so late! But i loved the video so much!!!!! Amazing Lore video can't wait for more!!!!

I didn't know Magic Arcanum's birthday was Halloween! Thats awesome!

The top 5 was really on point, I maybe would’ve put Yehenni higher because they are such a good and interesting character. Baron Sengir is undoubtedly iconic in the magic universe and deserves the top stop no doubt. That said Olivia is my favorite vampire out of all of magic and i’m dying to see her pick up that elder vampire, ruler of bloodlines, white extra color in a new card, rivaling Sorin and Edgar! Also bonus points for Rayami being the ONLY green vampire in the entire game. There’s a lot of non-legendary vampires that are also very cool, Falkenrath Aristocrat and Nirkana Revenanth are one of my favorites.

A year of Magic Arcanum already?! Guess time flies by when you are having fun.

These LORE videos are truly an absolute pleasure every single time

I like the concept of these, they are entertaining and very well made. Also, finally some love for Szadek :D He was so badass, that he came back as a ghost to cause havok on the Boros

This is absolutely my new favorite series on this channel keep up the great work P.S. when goblins???

YAYYYYY Magic Arcanum upload!!!!!

Been waiting for this! Story time of my own, My first try at standard/fnm play was in the 1st zendikar block. I pulled almost all the vampires and decided to make mini black vamp tribal. Long story short, I lost badly to elf/pawnsire of ulamog ramp. After that edh came out and I tried to make mono black vamp tribal with Anawon as the commander! Love the vampire and the lore they have from plane to plane. Edit as I forgot to mention. My current commander is the new anawon.

Hey Ryan! really like these L.O.R.E. rankings you make! I have a colection of all dragons in mtg. If you ever make L.O.R.E. ranking of the legendary dragons I would appreciate and be really excited!

Man, you were so close to getting the wedding correct for crimson vow

I love this series! More please!

Love the L.O.R.E videos !!!!!! Hoping for goblins soon !!

"... behind the camera is Nicole Bolas... " :D Great video! I really enjoyed a good tier list of my favorite creature type in all of magic. I am beyond excited for us returning to Innistrad, and seeing what happens there. I'm sure that our favorites will be returning, Edgar needs to make a resurgence! What are some of your predictions or expectations for that story? Have a nice day :D

I would love to see a LORE video for Knights. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations on one year, hopefully we have many more

My first thought when I saw the video title was "If Baron isn't #1....."

I look forward to the next L.O.R.E. video, I enjoy watching these. Is there going to be one about dragons with the L.O.R.E. scoring?

I kept waiting for Sorin.

Nice, I love vampires in MTG. You should rank by L.O.R.E all Angels too, there are so many of them on multiple planes. It's just a suggestion. :)

I love love love these LORE videos. Please do legendary dragons next!

Congrats for the anniversary !

Personally Olivia is my favourite - she was my first commander and she is dear to my heart - but the ones above her are pretty badass as well, and all the vampires are awesome. Glad to see some love for the best tribe in magic

Really enjoying the LORE videos

Only a 21st and a 25th place for my decks, this time around. Eeeeh, you lose some, you win some.

I don't know how I didn't think of this before now, but for future LORE ranking videos, would you be able to add the total score for each creature to the screen? I keep finding myself adding the numbers in my head out of curiosity.

I've always wondered where exactly Kalitas falls in the storyline because, in the original Zendikar novel, Sorin kept referring to Anowon as "Ghet," like it was a slur or insult and I don't know whether it was specifically because of Kalitas or just because it was a weaker house in general.

8:42 MY BOYYYYY! ♡♡♡ Recently turned my olivia in to and edgar and it wrecks house its amazing

Actually Licia (the Roman style vampire at 18) is mentioned in the story article for Prava of the Steel Legion from commander legends, apparently they are rivals within the steel legion and Prava prioritises keeping her soldiers alive while Licia focuses solely on victory. Maybe there will be a plane for these two? Or it could just be another obscure reference from commander legends

Lore is one of my favorite parts in any card game. Magic has a lot of awesome lore (and some really stupid stuff too). I’m very glad there are crossover books in D&D 5th edition so my play group can experience those worlds without spending 2,000 dollars on cardboard with ink on it...

Sorin Markov will forever be my favorite vampire and actually my favorite character in all of Magic

I am legit surprised that the Baron won. He's always been a favourite of mine, but he seems forgotten by most players today.

yahenni is probably my favorite card. Her name is fun to say and her art is awesome. Also her abilities are pretty cool.

This is cool. I’m learning things.

It's 1:05 am for me as the video dropped and you know I watched it Fuck my sleep schedule

Reflection Score must have been hard for this tribe, all things considered

Can't wait to see the Legendary Angel list! :D

100% love this! The Baron is the first and best vampire glade to see him back for commander

I unironically want a return to Ulgrotha set. Baron Sengir; Ravi, the planewalker who rung the apocalypse chime; Ihsan's Shade, a Paladin of Serra corrupted by the baron and forced to lead his armies after death. So much potential. Maybe even have Karn visit looking for the Apocalypse chime as a replacement for the Sylex as a weapon to use against New Phyrexia. It's a shame Wizards likes to shove Homelands under the rug.

Thanks to Ryan saying "Judge, Jury, Executioner," I want to make a Quintesson themed deck. The only problem is how do I make a deck based on a race of robotic aliens that include: A 5 faced Judge, the Prosecutor, Executioner, Sharkticons, and Alicons. Guess staring Hot Rod, Kup, Grimlock( I have an Idea for that, 2 actually), Wheelie, and Krennix

Do you think Ryan will file a restraining order if I say I'd kill for the golden mustache

The Haunt of Hightower has a deep lore behind him. He's the friend of Sorin and likes to be dropped into battle on turn 3 thinks to Sorin's -3 ability. This leads many opponents to scoop if they don't have removal right then because he's bullshit.

So Stange found you guys, nice

Please do this for EVERY legendary card in the game \0/

Awesome coincidence. Just came home from a 1st place at FNM with Orzhov Vampires, and I found this in my recommended.

Love that my favor vampire Olivia made the top 5.

Here I am after lost caverns of ixalan :3 would you do an upgrade of vampire ranks?? Now there are incredible vampires. I wonder which score may mavren get now he mounted Ghalta xD

Holy hell, y'all have been independent for a year already? It feels like yesterday you had your corrugated steel backdrop!

We are going to need a video about the lore of all the new legendary creatures from Commander Legends. I mean need it like really really bad.

I have a question. I really like the lore of magic and i know small bits but i want to know more. Is there like a way to read it all in an easy way or just any way for that matter?

This video is going to be dope! 🍿

I'm a big fan of this series. Pretty fun stuff

Not gonna lie I was shocked Edgar Markov didn't rank higher. He's the progenitor of one of the most powerful and influential vampiric broods in the entire multiverse. Everything any vampire has done in the history of Innistrad, as well as anything Sorin has ever done out in the multiverse, all comes back to him.

Please more lore videos!!

The aura around the card for the golden moustache should only be on the left, top, and right sides.

Another lore site recently said that Edgar was devoured by the demons who originally introduced him to sangromancy, per the terms of the deal, and just cited "the wiki,"' but I haven't found any corroboration.

Szadek has always been one of my all time favs, being so sought after by me for so many years. Two Questions though: why are there no purely red legendary vampires? And, when are they going to give Runo Stromkirk his own card? Maybe one card solves two problems? Hmmm(mustache twirl, were I to grow one)

I honestly would be so down for a return to Ulgrotha, but with competent writing this time.

Did we not include Sorin because he is a Planeswalker? 🤔

L. O. R. E L. Long. O. Overly. R. Rightous. E. Education. And also, Happy Halloween Arcanum👨‍🎨, and cheers 🥂.

Drana is also the first character to refuse her sparks ignition and channel it in to eviscerating an Eldrazi #DranasNumberOne

Yay, baron sengir is insane in magic lore

I'm happy to see my tribe get their turn for this episode.

I'm excited that LORE method is getting better. So we'll be getting reworks of previous episodes right?

Can you have a video focused on the foundational parts of MTG? You have talked about the trait of courage is shown by haste or rewarding attacking. you Have also delved into what it means to be a "White" villian (pushing your beliefs on others) or a "black" hero (Leave me alone/it will work out) ie. Nahiri/Davreil. I really would like to see more of this please, It really adds value to how I play the game.

3rd category: Reflection Vampire X in front of a mirror: F*ck!

I'm curious where Sorin would place while I know no creature card he is so present in the story with several cards I feel like he would rank well

Mustache-kun! You are alive! Grow strong little one!

YES, i love how the winner actually has gets a mustache

Dang it, I wanted to hear the story about you and your brother's decks

While I'm here at eighth place, I predict the whole clause about creatures dying and getting counters is a trademark of Dominarian vampires. I've always just referred to it as 'drain life.' Presumably it represents a vampire assimilating it's victim's strength.
