Normal mtg creator whom WotC give a card: "Yo guys Im going to show you this card. It is super cool because it does this" Professor who finally received a mythic: "Let me tell you a story", which is of course voice acted and with great art work. Bravissimo, Professor

@SomeYouTubeTraveler 4 года назад

@Jem Bennett Well, I was referring more to the "old _stories"_ meaning the stories written by the in-house lore team instead of the "new" way, where they outsource it to -professionals- hacks. On the other hand, Theros is old to me personally, because I started playing in Dragon's Maze.

I always loved that story. For so many reasons. My favorite being that in Zendikar Kiora had worshiped Kosi. The trickster god, who had stolen Ula spear. And though the titans had shattered her faith in gods. Here she is recreating that very same tale.

@brianseguel5308 4 года назад

You've outdone yourself Prof. I can only imagine how you made your presentations on your classes. I could be entranced by any kind of story told this way. Even the most banal of anecdotes will have an eerily aura around them. But this story was fascinating and you've managed to make it even more so. The flavor of magic has always been what draws me to it, I hope to see more things like this, able to easily surpass - not only by miles, but by entire planes-- the published materials

@pvtpain66k 4 года назад

I thought I was sitting down to see Prof show us a preview card, not 30 minuets of epic story time. So. Now you have to have Wolf do... all of the rest of the MTG lore, yes? 13:56 "Sent a wave to whelm them" directly referencing Whelming Wave from Born of the Gods. "Return all creatures to their owners’ hands except for Krakens, Leviathans, Octopuses, and Serpents."

@millibillionth 4 года назад

The video was great using full art and narration only, but it would be interesting to also drop in other cards from the set like the one you mentioned that have relevance to the story.

but its not an 7 mana 8/8 that lets you tap 8 things and gain control of 8 permanents, and jerk yourself 8 times or something like that. That was the big problem with grisselbrand, not all 8/8s need to cost 8, look at Rotting Regisaur.

Which sadly makes me more upset that we're not getting any story for this set and EVEN more upset that Bundle Packs no longer have a booklet. Really loved having a physical excerpt for a Set's story and more artwork to enjoy.
