MTG Lore: Nahiri's Wrath 

See, this is why the old planeswalkers creep me the heck out. Their vision is so grand that they forget who they crush underfoot when they fight. They're like huge elephants destroying everything without knowing or caring. Even Nahiri, who cares soooo much about Zendikar, is willing to throw an entire plane of people and creatures onto the chopping block for petty revenge.

lets be honest, if I trapped giant monsters in your house told you to watch them and then I trapped you in stone for 1000 years while those monster broke out and wrecked your house all because I wouldn't help you out or say sorry, I'm sure you'd be pissed to

Nahiri vs Sorin better be an up coming Duel deck

Well, technically it is all Sorin's fault that Zendikar was nearly destroyed. Instead of taking the hour or two to check on the Eye of Ugin with Nahiri, or at least explain why he couldn't up and leave Innistrad right that second, he pretty much told her to f*** off. Nahiri stood her ground and was prepared have him uphold his end of the promise by force. Sorin responded by locking her away in the Helvault, where she could do nothing to prevent the seal on the Eldrazi Titans from being fully undone. The moment Liliana destroyed the Helvault and set everything inside free, the first thing Nahiri did was check on Zendikar. What she saw was her home on the verge of total annihilation with almost no hope of being saved. Because she wasn't there to defend it for a thousand years, all thanks to Sorin. It was at this moment that she made her pledge that Innistrad would bleed and Sorin would weep. She would make sure Sorin felt all the pain and suffering and loss that she did in that exact moment. Countless lives on Zendikar were lost because Sorin decided to cop out of his responsibility. Nahiri was merely invoking the age-old custom of an eye for an eye.

nahiri "welp time to take eldrazi to kaladesh because i think an alchemist looked at me funny once"

I am personally on Sorrin's side, Nahiri is blinded by vengeance and doesn't realize that destroying Innistrad will only threaten the entire multiverse, something that Sorrin has been trying to protect.

Planeswalkers pre-mending: I hold the unlimited power to shape the planes as i see fit. Planeswalkers pass-mending: I can make 4 swords!!!1

When Nahiri goes back to Zendikar and realizes it was saved. "weeell shiiiit"

I think both could´ve just talked about it, playing some games of magic, maybe drinking some tequilla, chillin, but you know, they were like nah we aint the super friends lets fight.

I hope Sorin makes an impact in the final battle, love all his cards, he's by far my favorite planeswalker

10:02 I heard "He was stuck in stone" as "He was fucking stoned." I laughed harder then I should have.

This was awesome. Nahiri is justified as long as Sorin doesn't die especially since she retaliated so brutally and completely.

Well, Olivia pulled a "Starscream" and Sorin gets a turn at being encased in stone. Should Sorin get free, Olivia's days are numbered. Sorin most likely comes from a family where showing weakness is forbidden. That would help explain why he treated Nahiri that way. Nahiri, however, saw it as a betrayal. After being freed and seeing the Eldrazi "eating" her home was a bit too much for her, and she reacted before learning everything that happened on Zendikar. Both of them could have handled it better...

Nahiri is not justified. Sorin had no idea that the Helvault would interfere with the signal. She should have taken the compliment that she did a good job sealing away the Eldrazi by herself, and made other arrangements to get the signal to him. Instead she becomes worse than she thinks he is.

Man, that was rough for Sorin fans. I'm glad he's alive. hopefully, his character grows and he can help save the plane (fingers crossed Tamiya or some1 saves him)

Nahari is amazing and im glad she is alive cant wait for more

I'm not very sure how vampires work in MTG but shouldn't Nahiri be dead or at least become a vampire after being bitten in the neck? Also didn't Sorin go back to Zendikar in Rise of the Eldrazi to fight them with Nissa? Why didn't he just say to Nahiri something like "you're going crazy for no reason. I had a plane to rule over and even went back to your crappy Zendikar to fight the big 3 without you and Ugin".

Nahiri became evil the moment she summoned Emrakuel. I hope the Gatewatch frees Sorin (or Ugin) and they give chase to her.

I love how this set and its story is coming along, I especially love the card Nahiri's Wrath and how much madness it can enable for Vampire decks, which is a bit ironic considering Nahiri's hatred for Sorin

Nahiri's anger might have been understandable at first, but she lost mind when she decided to pull that stunt by calling that beast. Plus, she is one to talk about leaving planes to their fate when she finally escaped the helvault, return to Zedekiar and found the titian active on it, and simply up and left the plane in disgust with Sorin; simply leaving her own plane to its grim fate at that point.

this video is growing very slowly for FNL. Maybe something wrong with sub boxes?

i mean taking revenge for 1000 years on hellvault its ok but his reb¿venge was supposed to be against sorin not the whole fucking plane i mean they have enough living in that horror infested plane

Man, this is crazy good. I can't wait to see how they react when they discover Zendikar's fate.

I think her revenge was justified in attacking and trying to kill Sorin but not to destroy an entire plane. Awesome video again!

Nahiri is crazy and went too far. Pure and Simple. She has let her rage consume her and has become a villain imo on par with Bolas. Destroying planes for personal gain. But that's my view; she has stripped herself of white mana imo

nahiri is just having a tantrum

That whole story had me on edge. As the first story released for Eldritch Moon that you covered and I didn't read before watching your video, it definitely had me waiting in exciting for the resolution!

As soon as you said she planeswalked away I felt overwhelming joy.

Nahiri all the way.

I hate nahiri, sorin is my favorite planeswalker

nice episode! I was thinking that a nahiri was going to be the card that would be given away, but a sorin card also works! keep up the FHABULOUS work!

Though I was trying to imagine the epic gruesome battle, when you said "it cut through like warm butter" that made me want toast more than ever

I don't know why but i just imagined Gideon freeing Sorin and asking him to join the gate watch and him agreeing because he wants to prevent others like him from making the same mistakes he has. (After being stuck in the stone and watching everything happen of cores)

Visiting this humble plane again... It takes me back to when I first started MTG. Good times.

I really like that moment when Nahiri just leave Sorin in the stone to see all the destruction of Inistrad, I like more that kind of revenge than just kill him in that moment, even when he can scape later with some help but that moment was just so sweet.

Watched your Lore playlist earlier while throwing together a few Commander decks. Can't wait to try out the new Eldritch Moon cards next weekend!

Sorin got what was coming, pretty fitting, and trolling. Perfect.

Great video!! I can't wait for Eldritch Moon! I've never gotten into the lore but you do a great job explaining it to me!! Thanks!

I have always love the lore of Magic, yet I had been unable to find anywhere on RU-vid for it until today. So, thanks for making these videos and I am gonna have fun watching more.

This was a very cool video, your narration was really good. And as a returning Magic the Gathering player, it caught me up on the lore I missed in BFZ, OotG, and Shadows, so kudos my man. Stay awesome.

It is hard to say if he deserved it. He did in a way deserved being stuck in stone just as he did to her with the helvault. We don't know what Nahiri next plan is but we will see. These lore stories should become a movie maybe a movie per plane or two per plane if there is enough content. I really believe since movie for MTG would be great to see and could bring more people into magic.

I think it's funny that this is the second time that Nahiri has left a plane that she thought was doomed to Eldrazi even though it really wasn't. Good job Gatewatch!

I'm willing to bet Nahiri is going to become a Vampire now.

I am impressed that you do a give away every week for such a long time. Thats commitment!

Another great Lore vid. Your lore videos are the #1 reason I check your channel. They're great.

Great video, Nahiri has the potential to be one of the strongest Planeswalkers.

Ugghhhh! Nahiri upsets me so much! Sorin totally didn't do anything wrong, he was just protecting himself

For this being my first full block of Magic I love the story.

Sorin, Grim Nemesis would be a fun card to get. I haven't made a deck around any of Sorin's cards. Thanks for making these videos Seiben :)

Oh man I'm loving the lore for this new set! Thanks for another great video! Nahiri is a boss

lack of communication among planeswalkers and abuse of power gives us a great lore !

I think that Nahiri went to her home world only to see it thrive without her. And with her soul crushed by the sight, she plainwalks away.

Man. The egg on Nahiri's face when she learns about Zendikar!

This was one of the best magic stories so far.

I personally love the story flavor of this block. Nahiri vs Sorin is so awesome

I just love all the moral questions brought up by these stories.

Nahiri is completely unjustified to destroy Innistrad with her uncertainty as to Zendikar's fate

I picture Nahiri screaming Sorin's name like one of those Anime characters. "KANEDAAAAAAA!" "TETSUOOOOOO!" *cue epic beatdown*

I love watching these videos it's easy to catch up with the lore and entertaining with your commentary! Thanks man!

I. Glad none of the planeswalkers were killed. I do hope that Sorin is taken out of the stone soon tho. Loving the Edlritch Moon story!

I Sooo Love This Story~ Thank You SeibenMTG for making the video; Can't wait to see how the Whole "end" of the story will finally end. Even though the card might have spoiled it lol....

Their battle through Markov Manor was epic! I am curious to know if Sorin will get his revenge on Nahiri, he is the type to hold grudges...

I cant wait to see when she returns in the story and her reaction that zendikar was saved

I love the Declaration in Stone tie-in

I like the way it ended. gives us something to look forward to with nahiri v sorin . i know the next time we see these two , it will be epic.

I'm really loving the lore almost what I play for now a-days.

Strangely, I feel sorry for Sorin, even though he was such a terrible person. I was actually expecting Nahiri to die. But having her escape is also cool. Maybe she will realize Zendikar is not lost.

Haha, speaking of Pokemon Go, my friends have been all over it. Not going to lie, it's a little saddening when you're the only one in the group who's not on the hype train because you don't have data or enough coverage to play the game D: Either way though, this is awesome, love new MTG Lore. It's like story time with Seiben xD

So long for Sorin lore wise. Was warming up his planewalker card in my casual BW deck.

I like how Sorin and nahiri are fighting like two squabbling children ugin is studying on tarkir, scorning jace

i love how you quote flavor texts

This story is some of the best I've seen it's going perfect with the cards!!

Nahiri has gone nuts, too much time alone even before the Hell Vault.

I can not wait to hear the rest of the story, Maybe he will finally give thanks to Jace and the others for "Saving" the world

nahiri is just to awesome! can't wait what will be her role in the next lore

They never kill planeswalkers lately. Not like the old days when tibalt and venser died. Awesome video btw!

one can only hope sorin was stuck in that pillar long enough that Olivia had time to throw a party n have him in the center as a conversation piece.

loving shadows block so far, im curious to see how they're going to tie this in to kalidesh

Nahiri has gone off the deep end, but is justified in her vengeance. I really want to see her in future sets and see how the story continues.

i like this story so much... it's coming together quite deeply & now it leaves the question... is nahiri going to now become a vampire???

I think Nahiri traveled to Zendikar to see it a last time, and realizes that it isn't destroyed. With that knowledge she would maybe come back to Innistrad to either help the Gatewatch to make up for her mistake, or to fight them so they can't take away her revenge on Sorin! All speculation of course, since we don't even know where she went, but that would be an interesting outcome for the story, especially if she comes back to help!

don't see how people aren't happy with the story line its been awesome i recon.

Awesome video. Seriously insane though. I understand that Sorin betrayed Nahiri, and well Ugin was dead so not much help there. But releasing Eldrazi on someone's plane? That's a little overkill... Maybe with the exception that you're trapped in a demon-filled rock for a while... Sorin pretty much brought it on himself I think Again, great vid!

These two battling has been my favorite stories since Noyan Dar, the merefolk with a mouth. I believe that Nahiri is justified in only what she dies to Sorin, not in what she has done to Innistrad. If she would have left Sorin in stone and then sealed Emrakul in the moon, she could havr been called a hero even. But as it stands, she is a villian.

I can see where Nahiri is coming from in terms of being angry with Sorin, but she definitely crossed a line with Emrakul.

Of course Nahiri is pissed. First the Eldrazi was imprisoned on her home, then Nahiri was imprisoned in the Hell Vault for a 1000 years. So yes of course Nahiri wants revenge

so love the story and how you tell the story and using the fan arts and stuff.. great job!!

Well this leaves so much open for the future. Sorins revenge, will the Gatewatch interact with Sorin in his stone prison, Can´t wait for more lore. XD

Nahiri has gone off the rails.

All of this could've been averted, avacyns death, emrakuls summoning, nahiris vengeance if sorin and nahiri would've sat down and explained things to one another when nahiri originally visited innistrad.

7:35 Actually, it was NOT the first time she had seen him feed. The article says "It wasn't the first time she'd seen him feed, but he'd never looked quite so monstrous as he did at that moment. And that's what he was, a monster."

I don't think Nahiri's thirst for vengeance is over. She'll be back.

I was hoping burn from within was Sorin on that art. Even after she summoned Emrakul he still did not even try to deal with Emrakul but instead only cared about his personal vengence. I hope he is eternally stuck in that stone and used as a coat rack for the Voldarins after Emrakul gets trapped to the moon (as you said I think Nahiri did not leave the plane).

Nahiri went overboard, but the "end" was appropriate for Sorin.

Eldritch moon looks great! hope to see more lore for it soon!

Sorin is one of my favorite planeswalkers! I'm sad to see he wasn't able to finish Nahiri...

This was a really cool chapter. I'm sure Sorin will get out. Will be interested to see where or if he finds Nahiri is

I happy that Nahiri, Sorin and Ermakul are surviving Eldritch Moon. Maybe now she will search Ugin in more peaceful way

Sorin lost it and lost the battle as a result. I did enjoy how powerful he was even without his magic working.

It is amazing how Nahiri can redirect magic being able to manipulate stone. I think Sorin had this coming by being so worried about his own home and breaking the promise to the other planeswalkers.
