The Return Of Marit Lage | A Magic: The Gathering Story Dive 

Came to put a random comment real quick for a chance to get a collector booster box. Stayed and watched all the way because of this great story (and a great storyteller). I'm going to my LGS tonight, for some Commander games, and I will check out if there is any Magic comics around.

It makes me so happy that this series is getting positive feedback

Seeing the bewildered look on the faces of Malcolm and Breeches made me tear up a little bit, idk why, it was just so good to see them again

Yeah Marit Lage is cool and all but I personally prefer the more compact, Marit Smol.

It's really neat seeing them intertwine everything together in one world. I also adore marrit lage

Did you miss part 1 in this saga? Watch "The Fall Of House Dimir" here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Iee77Z29IBY.html

I can't believe Marit Lage is secretly Nibiru, the Primal Being

Appreciating the variety this series brings to the space, great job and please keep it going.

Looooooooving these recap vids! I've been reading the series religiously, but I always love hearing someone else explain it, as there's certainly something I missed or didn't think of at the time!

Prof, have you considered narrating more often (audible - style?) These videos are fantastic and I love how alive it makes the MTG multiverse feel. However the best part is the way you articulate these events. I could quite happily listen to you narrate paint drying

My father is a die hard fan of Marit Lage but he was having a hard time getting into the comics, so this video is an instant foward to him.

This was an amazing video! Wonderful storytelling with a good rhythm. Please do more of these kind of pieces!

Always good to see more content from the Prof and I’m happy I was able to contribute to the Kickstarter

Marit Lage: *literally just chilling under a lake* Vampire Hexmage: Haha ice counters go POOF!

I wish this was the gold standard for current MTG stories that are tied to the sets, this is great.

I love the stories that come from MTG it really gets immersive not only with the little tidbits of lore in the cards art and bottom text but the books and other media they release. Keep up the awesome narrations

I've been searching for a well-told MTG story like this. Thanks and keep them coming!

Love seeing Jace and Vraska together

Funny that still nobody knows what Marit Lage actually is. Some elements are Eldrazi, but others are not. Just like an old HP Lovecraft monstrosity, aeons old and powerful beyond normal measures. Makes a great story!

Ah ah this reminds me of when "dark depths" was one of the aces i kept in my commander deck until it came up against a proliferate deck with Atraxa... Marit Lage has been sleeping deeply ever since :’) Anyway, a good dive into the history of magic ! Thanks Prof’

Love the work put onto these!! Thanks for the vid, Prof!

I'm loving these deep dives into the comics, great for listening along to when I'm working, thanks Prof.!

How did I miss this series!! Omw, I'm so impressed that a coherent Magic story is being told properly through comics.

This channel has been really fun and informative to watch. Thanks Tolarian, for all the work you do. :)

I enjoy your narration of these story dives. Thank you!

The Lazav stuff in this story is just *chef's kiss*. Possibly the best part of the series thus far.

I love these lore bits you’ve been doing lately, and I’ve been really enjoying the Boom comics a lot

Love these videos. Thanks for taking the time to create these,

Excellent work, prof. Thanks for bringing these stories .

As a long time fan, these types of videos are some of my favorite content.

That was a hilarious way to end. Ral: "Haha its just a stupid block of ice." Vraska: "...." Jace: "...." Kaya: "...." Ral: "..........oh shit."

Thanks Professor and everyone involved in the making of these videos. As a filthy casual that has recently started going to shops for Friday Night Magic I was told my decks are not competitive enough so your channel has been helping me to step up my game and I also enjoy learning about the origins and backstories of characters and cards in those decks.

Always love the story videos Prof! Keep'em coming

As a someone who started playing in the last couple years, it's great to learn some of the storyline of the game. Thank you for sharing!

This series is actually quite interesting in how it diverges from the lore, and it's nice seeing a story being told that isn't dependant on a set and the cards within, since that often leads to inconsistencies and weird pacing. As much as I liked some of the recent worldbuilding, it's cool to see a story just be a story.

I really love these readings, and I'm glad that you're showing the story to more people!

Great video! I enjoyed seeing these illustrations accompanied by narration.

I love the story of magic, it really adds to the individual card’s feel, not to mention how certain cards interact with one another. Also, I’m leaving this for the kamigawa box.

This brings back memories of a Ravnica roleplay campaing my friends and i did long before the rulebook for dnd was out (We used the Fate system for it). Ravnica is my "comfort" plane as odd as it sounds, the storytelling on such a vast setting as the city-plane is limitless.

Enjoying content like this. It’s helping me get more interested in the story and expose me to media I didn’t realize existed. Thanks Prof!

The way the pictures come into place is so nice.

Hey Prof, any chance after this series is concluded you could do a series recapping the MtG comics published by Acclaim and Dark Horse back in the 90s?

Thank you for making all the videos you do. They definitely make my day so much better!

This is super sweet! Hope you keep making these "story dives".

The professor is doing what professors usually do: Inform others and provide interesting background knowledge. Keep it going! :) (And yes, I would love to win the Kamigawa Collector Booster Box)

When an evil, hooded guy proclaims he "already won", you know he's about to die. When they will learn? Fantastic serie, btw. Will you do maybe something similar related to the novels?

I'm really enjoying these stories you've been narrating, great job sharing the lore!

It's always interesting to see people talk about Magic's story, and your videos are no different! Definitely a good time, and looking forward to more of this content in the future too.

Always happy to see Lovecraftian horrors in getting attention, particularly in Magic 😄

I'm so happy that Marit Lage is finally getting some love, it gets overlooked a lot.

Love these story bits. Nicely narrated, thanks!

Love this style of story dive! Very entertaining commentary. Makes me want to delve into more MtG lore.

I am genuinely excited to find out what the Phyrexian's plans are aswell as what the final two praetors do and what set they come in.

As a new-ish player, I'm really glad to see this storyline dip into the older lore. It's a really nice experience to dig up the old lore that I never got to see unfold.

So excited to see more of this!! Thanks for making this

Really happy you're exploring the story of Magic. Thanks for this.

I like to think this is something of a tie-in with the card Priest of Forgotten Gods. As its flavor texts specifically references religious traditions older than the Orzhov. A cult to Blind Eternities C'thulu seems to fit there.

Of all the characters they could have brought back, I did not expect Marit Lage. So... Marit Lage versus Emrakul when?

Professor, great editing/cuts, well done! Hope to see more stories like this!

I just came back to Magic for the first time since I was a teen, which has now led to the discovery of your content. Not only is your content informative and helpful, but also entertaining. Great stuff!

I've always loved the lore and storyline of Magic: The Gathering!

I like watching your great videos.

Happy to see videos about lore,keep making them Prof !

Thanks for these lore vids proff. I don't know/have much drive to look into the mtg story myself, but I do enjoy watching these lore vids.

Marit Lage was always one of my favorite OG baddies in Magic. She's dark, powerful, and terrible, but equal parts mysterious and unknowable. I would love to see her appear in an official set (as more than just a token) at some point!

It's ironic I get this youtube notification the day I finish building Legacy Depths in paper lol.

Love the story Dive and the editing of the video. I have to watch more of it.

Really loving this series, and hoping to see more for future comic/story installments. Excellent work, keep it up!

Lazav is definitely one of my favorite characters. He’s such a neutral character that seems bad; the complexity of characters like him and similar story devises are often what makes a story solid, intriguing, and desirable. I love that you’re putting an emphasis on the story Prof.

They really should've made these canon. This entire story would also make for a great fourth round on ravnica for a set.

Huge fan of the deep dives Professor, appreciate all the work you put in for the Community ❤️

Amazing video, as always. I’ve commented it before but you’re very easy for this hard-of-hearing fan to follow. You speak so clearly and well-paced 😁

I am just waiting for Wizards to finally reveal Marit Lage is indeed the 4th Eldrazi titan because damn does a lot of this sound like Emrakul's powers, but way more controlled and aimed to achieve a certain goal rather than just being an aura of corruption

Oh my god it's finally Marit Lage

I'm really enjoying these overviews. Looking forward to the next one.

Great stuff Prof! Easy listening on a long workday :)

If Marit Lage is a being that is beyond the blind eternities, does that make it Eldrazi in origin? Or could wizards be teasing a totally new class of outer gods :OOOOOO

The real twist in the story was waiting to hear how marit lage would be pronounced

This was some awesome storytelling and art! Love this channel!!

Love learning the lore behind the cards! Makes it so much more interesting when I play them in my decks!

The trio goes to Niv Mizzet: 'Dimir is behind the attacks!' Niv Mizzet: 'Nope! Somebody is playing you and wants you to think that. Also Jace is an idiot!' The trio finds out about House Dimirs destruction and confronts Mizzet: Niv Mizzet: 'Nope! House Dimir is playing you and wants you to think that!' Either Niv Mizzet got old and senile or he has his own motivation and tries to buy time and slow the others down 🤔

AH yes, the famous non-Eldrazi Marit Lage with such features as -Ancient beyond comprehension -From beyond the Blind Eternities -Able to planeswalk without a spark -Infiltrates the minds of people just by proximity -Warps creatures into tentacled monstrosities -Only sealed away by holding them in place Surely nothing to do with the Eldrazi titans like, say, Emrakul. After all the only things that they share in common would be -Ancient beyond comprehension -From beyond the Blind Eternities -Able to planeswalk without a spark -Infiltrates the minds of people just by proximity -Warps creatures into tentacled monstrosities -Only sealed away by holding them in place Hey wait a minute It wouldn't surprise me if Marit Lage is another offshoot of the greater being that is "Emrakul" like how the Titans are just the largest "hand" of the greater whole as Ugin put it, who's to say that the full body of Emrakul doesn't have more than one "hand"

Thank you for all the entertaining videos you're putting out prof!

Dark Depths is one of those cards that got me into deck building so it's really awesome to learn the history of Marit Lage! Great content, can't wait to see more of this series.

When did Niv start to somewhat resemble Chromium? He looks really cool!

Can i comment this video more then Once And when you Will choose me, Will you give me the booster Box? Bcs i think Its cheeting.

This is such a great series! Easy to listen like a podcast while working / doing chores.

Thanks for the awesome content and the kickstarter!

Thanks so much for all of the quality MTG content! You set a high bar for the rest of the community :D

Great videos, I love it! Getting back into Magic through MTGA, your videos are great.

I love these videos! Great look into the characters we love and play with. Magic has such an interesting world and I love how you’re bringing that to life in these videos Prof!

Great video! I would have never known about this story if I hadn’t watched this, thanks!

Thank you for always having amazing content!

Thank you for still being here! I used to watch when I was 17 and just recently started playing again. I enjoyed being able to come back to a familiar face after 8 years of not playing.

Your explanations and story telling are on point. Keep up the great work Professor!

Thank you for taking the time to dig into the lore of MTG. This series is real nice.

Love your videos man, always a brightener

Very well-thought out vid! Thanks for the entertaining content.

I first subscribed for your witty product analysis but I must say I think those lore videos are even better. Please keep ‘em coming prof!

Wow this must’ve been a lot of work, thanks prof! We appreciate you!
