New Set Debut | March of the Machine | Card Previews, Battle Card Type, New Mechanics 

Wow true 🤭🤭 That's cool

The Battle's hit points being counters is dumb

@@myojinofnightsreach346 I mean it's the only practical way of keeping track. Only other way is for that number to be how much damage you have to deal to it in one turn like a creature. Other than that, the only way to keep track of a changing total (That's not life) over more than one turn is with counters.

​@Myojin of Night's Reach iipp😊i 🎉❤😊😂😂

You're not wrong, just don't know how they would do it another way as fluently though.

!

PLEASE

At some point they’re going to turn into just a ruly mob, cause after a certain number of world-ending threats you gotta get used to it

phyrexian human horror- one-ruly mob 1 colorless and 2 phyrexian white for a 1/3 whenever a phyrexian enters the battlefield or a non-phyrexian creature enters the graveyard incubate 1

Did Tamiyo and Anissa not tell Norn about Emrakul?

"Everyone and their mums packing Praetor tribal 'round here." "Like who?" "Commander players." "Who else?" "Commander players Mums."

breathing room is what mtg´s storytelling needs.

@@goncaloferreira6429 and product line

​@@goncaloferreira6429we need animations, I would watch mtg movies and tv shows, the story is really good

Yup it is bad ass.

6:49

New Phyrexia and Ikoria casually comparing sizes of their monsters

🎉

The text is nice, but Zolortha isn't... 8/8 without trample for this size.🥲

honestly 😭, they could have had a few more sets to fully depict the story… They’re running out of source material 💀

It is a game after all, and frankly ... we knew these things would happen the immediate moment we get to see the card reveals One can call it rushed sure ... but then one has never actually looked at magic cards during reveal season before "Oh, who is this mysterious entity on Innistrad?" "Emrakul, I mean we knew this was likely what the fate of Innistrad was gonna be when Innistrad revealed itself as a plane the first time around but its nice that all of these 'clues' weren't so much clues as much as a game mechanic since you know, we knew from the other cards immediately what happened with Emrakul" You can extrapolate this to literally 'all' of MTG's storylines - the only difference is that we have had years worth of buildup ever since the defeat of Nicol Bolas, and we got confirmation about this once we saw Vorinclex on Kaldheim ... its hardly been rushed if you go back and actually look at the stuff that built up towards it

@@ArgentumEmperio Yes yes, your essay in refute of my single line quip is duly noted.

@SniperDave dude are u only here to stir some kind of commotion x) relax and stop that very passive aggressive attitude, it really does not help anybody, not even yourself xD be more appreciative of how much work goes into all of these cards and this product that we are able to enjoy. some people these days really cannot be satisfied with anything.

GAme of Thrones level bulidup to 2 pump chump resolution

Pretty sure I heard Lady Danger and Joe Johnson as well

@@MegaBsterling I was gona say, it sounds like Joe Johnson

While the actual story depicts him chopped into fours, the card has him just left limbless, but alive. If anything, that could mean he's the last living praetor, albeit trapped within a phased out new phyrexia.

I believe they're closing Phyrexia's arc for good. That's why all praetors will die.

@@trevorjamieson8892 Well he wouldn’t be the last left unless Elesh kills Shelly too

@@TheLethalGuy Norn Killed Shelly.

Specifically, The Ajaninator

3.5 sets one after another with Phyrexians as the bad guys is already a bit much...

same

Ah, that explains it. I thought it was a new character.

Urabrask at least had some part in the story, poor Vorinclex got one of his horns ripped off by Norn and only managed to kill Teferi's mount before getting beheaded, and that was pretty much it. He was MTG's version of Black Dwarf, the big guy of Thanos' black order(or Cull Obsidian, for those who only know him from the movies).

@@moviefan2236 I just wish Urabrask had survived. He deserved better as the good guy

I want to art of ajani

seems like a solid card and really i just want to keep seeing that art of karn holding norn's head over and over

And so are DC's lawyers, Elspeth is literally Wonder Woman.

@@dargkkast6469 nah. She's more like Hawkgirl than Wonder Woman

Lol yeah the armored rhino was probably a poor decision. Otherwise it could definitely be pure coincidence.

MtG should stop emulating MCU.

@@dargkkast6469 Netflix She-Ra

So if it helps, Vorinclex, a praetor of New Phyrexia, invaded Kaldheim and in the process infected Tibalt, wounded Esika, and compleated numerous people and animals. The wiki says “the outcome of this interaction has yet to be revealed”. So maybe there’s a possibility they’ll be back? Source: trust me bro (Kidding, MtG Wiki fandom page: “New Phyrexia”, under “Forays to Other Planes”, first and second paragraphs)

There are some! A simic Naga cleric just got posted

@@aes2621 ooh

If your story makes War of The Spark look better by comparison, I have bad news for you.

Remember we’re also gonna be getting the Aftermath story after this set

Oh compleat means nothing. Hooray uncompleat!

Well, Lukka dies. Wrenn dies. Karn gives up Venser's spark. Atraxa dies. Tibalt died last set. Tamiyo becomes a force-ghost. Meliria dies. Nahiri is buried under a bunch of rocks on Zendikar. All the praetors die. Millions across several planes die. Vraska and Jace are still both MIA and dealing with the fallout of phyresis/compleation. It beats War of the Spark, but, yes, I was hoping that this would be the end of one of the Lorwyn 5 (or even at least Nissa). Not quite the reset button I was hoping for, but let's be honest--the first time that Phyrexia invaded they were beaten because Urza shot Yawgmoth with a big laser beam. Teferi and Wrenn pulling a temporal inversion and Koth, Karn, and Elspeth kill and unmake Norn is absolutely a more satisfying conclusion, though the whole 'all the phyrexians shut off like robots and the oil is now useless!' aspect of it does feel like a cop-out. At least we're getting an aftermath set.

@@laurentrobitaille2204 It's the getting there that's interesting. Besides, maybe she won't and the image is literally just there to deceive you. Folks are quick to deride WotC for presenting plots too much like Marvel and this is a fairly common strategy they employ in their trailers.

The MtG story in recent years is just a bad copy of MCU. Awful.

By alot you mean monthly Netflix sub

Emrakul seems so impossibly above powerful, if she cared, she probably would defeat Phyrexia alone.

@@Friedensp4nzer still woulda been sick if innastrad was losing big time so they summoned her from the moon somehow.

I dont know that Emmy could withstand the Phyrexians. We already know her abilities have no effect on the undead... and for all we know, 1 drop of oil would be enough to convert her. I think it would be far more likely that we would have gotten a completed Eldrazi had they interacted.

@@grimtrix It's unlikely that oil would have any effect on the Eldrazi titans themselves. They're already nigh invulnerable to every thing, and as it stands what you see of the titans isn't their true selves. The physical thing you see is just a representation of themselves in this world while their true self is in the blind eternities. But you could probably compleat the drones and other lesser Eldrazi.

@@tonysmith9905 The Eldrazi are chumps compared to the Phyrexians ;) Think about it... how many wins do they have? How many planeswalkers have they killed? zero and zero... Now compare that to the Phyrexians... who have only ever lost once (at the cost of pretty much every hero's life)... and have killed like 20+ walkers, many of which were pre mending walkers. Sure, there is room for showing us some insane power behind the Eldrazi in the void.. but that potential exists for Phyraxians as well. There is no way to know just how many worlds they have just infected.. and what new deadly tactics they may have developed. If it came down to a trapped Emmy vs the entirety of the Phyrexian horde with time to plan their attack on Emmy, my money is all in on the Phyrexians. They have always been the one true threat to the multiverse.

If you look at the teferi planeswalker background, its just the flip side, well flipped and pasted teferi on top with a shader for the background. Don't know how to feel of this, just thought it was worth a mention.

@@nzeezoostupidiii1314 wow i did not see that, it look wierd. The one I really dislike it is rankle and torbran, looks like videogame picture. What I enjoy the most about magic it is the art, so I hope they dont continue along this path

Solemnity doesn't say battles. Delirium will see battle since it's a card type

Well they are permanents, and they are not lands, so yeah.

@@cooljoe500 You're fucking kidding me? They seriously pulled that shit?

@@cooljoe500 aww... weak... but that cant be true for all Phyrexians, right? Maybe just the white aligned ones? We could always just throw in something about Gitaxian setting up some contingency plans on other worlds, right?

@@grimtrix New Phyrexia gets swapped with Zhalifir in the multiverse so it's cut off from everything. That all said, yes, there's still tons of oil now across many many planes so someone could always do something with it. If only there were some kind of evil Esper planeswalker just running around unaccounted for, hm.....

@@tonysmith9905 the story is really bad. Makes War of Spark look good by comparison.
