I Was Right?! This CHANGES EVERYTHING!! | The Aftermath Lore 

Like allways bro...I remember since of Shadows over Innistrad your predictions are very acurate... You are a MTG "Nostradamus"...

Dude I hope your prediction of jace and Vraska is correct… I would hate to see Vraska dead

I wonder what would happen if gods like the one from theros or more elemental like omnath the locus were to go to other planes would the plane effects them in some way like the elemental in this story.

@@FuriousGamer-yr5xv Is my hope to...

@@michaeltaylor788 Well Omnath got compleated so he's probably stuck in suspended animation like all the others.

😂😂😂

This is the Best explanation. Phyrexians? Nah, the real invaders where the Pinkertons all along.

Only because they got their spark early and WOTC wanted it back.

We we're clearing the Phyrexians out the way to make way for an even bigger threat, Pinkerton planeswalkers.

@@rkrushenickaminatou better watch out then

Shhhh we don't talk about racist nissa

People think the Spark lost are being used to cure the planes. Not sure if it's true though.

​@Happymasks If that's the case, it's not intentional. So it might be because of the damage to the mutliverse/blindeternities. I like the idea that it's healing itself and inadvertently stealing sparks in the process since sparks are energy from the multiverse in the first place.

Teferi lost his before. Karn too during the New Phyrexia arc (and got Venser's). I do not think most of these walkers lose these sparks for good.

It’s because of Quintorius…I betcha

The inexplicable reason is so we have more legendary creatures for edh.

I feel like with enought courage/foolishness/clumsyness anyone may appear on any plane, like Fblthp or Thalia.

I feel like it’s the best move since, FOR THE MOST PART phyrexians are dealt with for a long time until the oil resurfaces, bolas is in prison, and Em is sealed, plane exclusive villains can now go anywhere

​@@Zarxene there is a single hint that eldrazi vs phyrexians is an if not when... so thats something Im looking forward to if magic survives till then.

[Davriel]: *is on the run from demon contracts* [Lilliana, to Davriel]: "First time?"

Anyone can Planeswalk through these portals.

@@Case2_0 like using the planar bridge + lazotep plating or being inside Kaya's ghostform, you mean? They played fast and loose with their own rules before when it was convenient, I don't see how these portals change anything. It could have been an Izzet contraption or a spell from Arcavios. It would have been different if everyone was desparked (a sort of mending 2.0). Instead they kept it very vague so that they could roll it back if customers protest in the future. But that wasn't even my point: for Nissa, as a character, functionally nothing changed. If at least she would have lost her magic completely, that would be a) consequences and b) a potentially interesting story arc for her. Instead she got up and running for her trauma in a few lines, as nothing of importance really happened.

She's slurping Chandra's slach. That is different, even of their relationship is just as stupid now as it was 4 years ago.

If my impression is right. Planewalker don’t age. At least now without the spark. she can grow old and die of old age.

@@daniellew2271 after the mending, they do age. It's the entirety of Liliana's story with the demonic contract, she was looking to restore her power and youth. They did play a bit fast and loose with it though (especially with Nahiri, I don't understand her age), but theoretically after the mending PW aren't immortal anymore

At least he is a planeswalker still.

@@addictedtomints9433 I mean. I'm just glad he's alive. Next, I gotta check up on Angrath and the new boi Quint

@@mega2009man lol very true. Being alive is also nice. I feel worst for the ones not alive and the ones who lost their sparks like crazy Nihiri. Even if she is crazy, she has been one of my favs.

@@addictedtomints9433 Truly an interesting taste in characters 😂 but you like who you like. There's nothing wrong with that. I'll never get liking her, but that's not important

I thought I was alone in finding Nissa quite unlikeable and immature here...

@@ROMANTIKILLER2 nah, I'm with you. Her's was not a good showing.

@@dan_mnght it's fine to write a story from like Avacyn's perspective after she's freed from the helvault. I don't see why we would only write stories from that perspective instead of utilizing the characters that can travel across worlds and gives us a reason why we visit different planes. Planeswalkers give you a way to hop back into a set story, a unique aspect of magic is their existence. If you just write a story set on a plane and the drama that goes on there with no larger connection then what's the difference between that and your OC fanfic from 15 years ago

Because they like to lie

I'm guessing it's because there's a huge difference between it being "harvested" by Bolas' lazotep goons versus "losing" your connection to the blind eternities because your soul is no longer solely yours? The way it was written makes it seem like they still "have" their spark, they just can't access or use it. Like you still own your phone, but the facial scanner no longer recognizes you after a horrible accident.

Ob Nixilis

That would basically just be retelling fate reforged but on a much bigger scale

Thank you ;)

Hey I would take ANY excuse to go back to Alara

@@AetherHub I really love that plane bro...The history of our dear Ajani Planeswaker "starts" there lorewise...

i think is both a Lore and Market problem, Some planeswalkers are too old they have take part in too many stories and have too many cards, leading to have too much of the same planeswalker, now they can retire ( basically put the old planeswalker that have finished story arcs on the back as legendary creatures) and move to a new generation of planeswalker cards, leading to better Lore and market

I don't think planeswalkers are being dialed back in any permanent or even semi permanent way. It might be a temporary, set-specific thing for these characters, but otherwise they're an established card type of 15 years. Aside from a few exceptions (like War of the Spark), we usually only get a handful of them each set to begin with... usually single digits. It'd be like dialing back Instants or Sorceries at this point. There's no putting the toothpaste back in the tube as they say. Gotta keep printing them! Plus, they're just too popular.

@@corey2232 i also dont think MTG will just give up Planeswalker Cards, but many characters have too much cards and are part of too much events, so it just make sense that MTG want to retire some of this characters that already have more than enough cards, and open the way for new ones, while also opening the possibility of less Planeswalker focused stories. From a story telling point Planeswalkers are hard to work with, because once the character has the power to easily teleport from one world to another you need to come with a lot of reasons of why the character is not part of the story. Everytime a planeswalker has a problem the writer need to explain why that planeswalker just dont call 20 other planeswalkers to help.

​@@rafaelsantos-nl9jd this and also having to find a reason for walkers to not just go "this sounds like a y'all problem I'm finna Planeswalk away"

Better yet, Olivia goes to Ixalan

@@natesage8645 Any of thoses would be hilarious actually.

And there are Vampires on Ravnica. Szadeck was a Parrun.

I somehow doubt Saint Elenda and Olivia would get along 😳

Really!? After Nicol Bolas' fart of an ending? After the gigantic let down with the Phyrexians? And with WotC being a terrible company? I don't see why anyone with a brain could continue to enjoy this

I like Planeswalkers BUT they dominate the story too much and we have far too many driving the story. I want to return to feeling like everyday heroes of the plane we visit, feel like they matter

I think they went past "almost" in this story quite clearly.

@@sertaki In my understanding they are like," yeah we both want this, but I can't right now because I don't feel good", I may be wrong though

@@edgarventura7497 I think it was pretty clear that the story ended with Chandra making a commitment to try her best at staying around, while both accepted that this will probably not work out perfectly - and then they took the plunge into the portal together as partners. And the whole story was basically an exercise in both of them working through some of their emotional baggage and their issues with talking openly about their feelings and their needs. They both opened up to each other in ways that the story suggests were very significant steps of vulnerability. Chandra realized the ways in which she was hurting Nissa, while Nissa realized that she needs to take Chandra with her flaws, while both were massively impacted by the other in their own journey of working through their feelings. And they both empowered each other during the big finale, to go beyond what they could accomplish alone - not just based on saying the right words, but because they really connected on a deeper level and understood the other. It's definitely more than just "we like each other, but maybe later cause I feel bad". :D The story ends with them going off into the sunset, trying to make it work - but they are complicated people who realize as much, so it's not a perfect "and now they will be together forever" ending. They have to work through their own issues to really be good partners to each other, and this may fail.

Don’t muddy the writing with facts lol

He also made a new body for himself in the last story

​@@cadestapp3208 Karn is made of Dark Steel

HIred goons?

How did you not know that? It's literally all those people are talking about.

Same actually. Mixed fauna. Cool

@Intresocs20 The Sliver returns home.

I can think of two instances where that's already happened. Vrist is an Insect planeswalker, the swarms it conjures take on humanoid forms, but Vrist is just a bug nonetheless. And then the Leviathan planeswalker Bolas ate before the mending was also a thing. We never knew who that one was though.

he should be careful where he keep it haha

Great Idea, make it so that the entire story is even more pointless

And why would those characters get that privilege over anyone else?

Nooooo :( RU-vid is hurting us

@@AetherHubagreed

with 60 percent less zombies. This killed me. You made my day good sir.

Lol that is a lie, no one likes Tibalt! 🤣

Maybe she just bi bro

@@christopherlucas9118 Nope, remember war of the spark? In that novel Chandra says she's "had never been into girls"and it focused on how devastated she was on Gideon's sacrifice because she "had a huge crush on Gids". The professor from Tolarian community college also mentions this in his review of the war of the spark novel too.

It's WotC... they are NOT thinking that far ahead or with that much detail
