MTG Lore: Karn 

Depressing fun fact during his time on Rath Karn was captured and tortured being placed into an endlessly tumbling room with an infinite supply of Moggs (Dominarian and Rathi goblins) which he would keep landing on. This is part of why he still continues to be a pacifist.

@@phoenixshadow4631 That is almost hilariously tragic

Jackson Wald I mean at least he’s not dealing damage directly

I think the idea is that he's so kind and intelligent that he makes them change sides :P

Think of Swords to Plowshares. The creature exiled in that case, is removed from battle, but not dead - just a farmer.

🤣🤣 👍

He isn’t really a pacifist anymore. He kind of shys away from violence but will throw hands when he needs to

check out the new dominaria storyline, but dont expect too much ;) the weatherlight now travels across dominaria again and jhoira is the weatherlight´s captain

Wasn't weatherlight part of the Legacy? In that case it too became part of Karn as the legacy was activated.

And yet people want the Eldrazi to win

Agreed, he is pretty awesome

Karn was made by Urza, what's not to like?

The shitposter himself in the wild

I can't find a good story that easily explains it.

Thats in the works right now :P

It just released :P

Tartar hi person from the past

They are a big threat but many have not been seen for a very long time. The eldrazi are currently on the march and seemingly unstoppable. Sometimes a threat in front of you needs to take priority.

Yawgmoth's dead (unless we get more time travel shenanigans) and the Eldrazi EAT PLANES. Yeah. The Eldrazi would wreck Phyrexia. (Hi Emrakul).

Even without Yawgmoth, I see no reason why the Phyrexians couldn't produce dreadnaughts (and mass produce them at that) which are colorless and easily big enough to stand up to any eldrazi one on one except Emrakul it's self. and we also don't know if the black oil of Phyrexia has any effect on the Eldrazi, if they were to consume the plane it may actually turn them Phyrexian if it doesn't outright kill them. And on top of THAT, we don't even know how the Eldrazi would react to an artificial plane.

Well, the original plane of Phyrexia wasn't built by Yawgmoth, though it was built by some mysterious evil planeswalker. And, well, the Eldrazi existed before colored mana, so the black oil may have no effect on them. As well as (iirc) the oil has diminished effect on non-artificial life.

well in some of the new phyrexia cards, it has a few creatures that are lore'd to eat the phyrexians, and were organic and could withstand the black oil unphased, so its safe to bet the elderazi, so long as they aren't a from of artifact, would be unaffected by the oil, and thus be able to consume phyrexia unharmed save for attacks my phyrexians themselves

They have been out of the spot light, but rest a sure they will come back.

seibenlore rest assured.

***** dominaria was destroyed long ago and alara is currently the home of bolas after he succeeded of merging the planet.

matthew price Umm...the story for new phyrexia began with Elspeth, Koth, and Venser in Uborg, a swampland in Dominaria.

matthew price dominaria is recuperating dammaged but not jet destroyed

I noticed this was an issue, im thinking of ideas that could help with it though.

+seibenlore I can't see that being an issue though, it just means more interesting videos!

+Daniel Wilmot and more combos to explore

Glad you got your pack! and thank you I appreciate the compliments :D

Thank you i really appreciate your support!

Not a problem! Keep making the great content! :D

i know its been 3 years since you wrote that comment, but maybe you still care about good stories. There is actually a novel out there about yawgmoth, its quite a read as well. He started out as a normal, but ruthless human doctor that thirsted for knowledge on how flesh works, how its flawed, how it can be made sick, how it can be made better and so on. Then got some opportunities to get political power, which he used to increase his own positions and with that, the ability to do experiments more undetected and on a much bigger scale than ever before. This resulted in a civil war among the Thran (a long lost technological advanced society, from whom Urza and Mishra dug up artifacts in their youth). This war evnetually led to the discovery of the metallic, empty plane that would later be called Phyrexia, which at that time was uninhabitated. thanks to the help of another planeswalker, yawgmoth was ultimately able to fuse with its core, granting him full control over that plane and getting him godlike powers on that plane. The plane of the newly called Phyrexia was connected to Dominaria trough a Portal, which got eventually closed down at the end of the civil war. In turn, Yawgmoth and the new, first phyrexians got isolated on their new home, and evolved to the point where they were able to come back to dominaria again during the invasion cycle, i believe. its quite some time since i read it and the novel was pretty thick, but it was a very interesting read. Yawgmoth was, in his life as an ordinary human doctor, nothing but ruthless. But he was also very clever and understood how to cover his tracks and provide good, reasonable explanations on why he often did things the way he choose to. Reading about the creation of the first iterations of Phyrexians, who were just sick ppl from dominaria to which Yawgmoth promised a cure, was one of the most horrifying things i`ve ever read.

@@raze956 yawgmoth's story is surprisingly similar to ob-nixilis

@@alexostin2944 is it? i never read about ob-nixilis, this might change now :D

That would be so overpowered

Plus he's dead

jay storm Time travel shenanigans though. Plus, I feel like MTG dead is about at reliable as comic book dead.

The last expansion of magic, whenever that comes, should have an Urza planeswalker somehow

AngryMidgetProd or in the next commander set like they did with teferi or something like conspiracy. Sets outside of standard don't have to be about the now

Weatherlight broke through the null moon and used the stored white mana to pierce Yawgmoth and sear him from existence

Im actually working on a video which covers the lore of the original Ravnica set, it goes over all of the guilds lore. It should be up this weekend!

if you need to know stuff about Urza talk to me cuz I fangirl him

Leone Kaiser he is!

Nekomomo also he is arguably the best. He can be put into any deck.

I fully support this idea

That statement is not wrong :) I was thinking of doing Urza's lore soon :P

Personally, I go with Teferi -> Tehfairy and Jhoira ->Joyra

Some names are harder to say than others :p

Sure I can do that :)

@@AetherHub Thank you!

Thank you so much. Sorry I do very much suck at pronunciations.

That is for another tale ;)

Memnarch didnt become a planeswalker

also, memnarch isnt just the infused oils of the phraxians, but hes the reanamated body of urza... and that is a whole other story... and yes, part of urza's spirit was transferred to karn. where long story short.... everything wrong in magic the gathering is broken and messed up because of repeated failures and rebirths and temporal travels by urza, his simbiant, and his reanimated body. where if you look at homelands. barron singir had a pretty good peace in the first world till he was reincarnated as an evil essensing spirit which became known as yawgmoth, where how is that known... well order of yawgmoth is the same as sarra's paladin find who was made into a vampire to serve barron. where everywhere barrons goes there is a harsh decree of order and peace. even till his death, in which case yes there was bubbling muck for oils, but it was more than just phraxian oil... yawgmoth (aka barron's) essence and spirit was infused with the mechanical pieces of the marri orb with the brain and body peaces of urza... and you wonder why memnarch was going crazy? he ushered in phrexia, divided them, and created mechanical defectivness across the entire planatary structer as urza awlays does... hice they say, they dont know if he knows more than just the future or if he is crazy and was asked once, but you cant determine crazy with a planeswalkers...

yes

Not from a jedi
