No man is completely good or evil, but nearly all of Urza's deed were truly great. Hale and curse the name of Urza, Dominaria's greatest hero and bastard.

@Lobomaru02 2 года назад

Urza's feats of artifice and magic are to be respected. As is his drive to do whatever was needed to protect Dominaria. But the man himself. The man himself I have nothing but contempt for. At best he was a necessary evil.

@TheLorebrarians 2 года назад

I think the moral gray area and questionable deeds make urza one of MTGs best characters, someone you love to hate

@Ixidora 2 года назад

Urza is who you call when your enemy is Satan and the only one powerful enough to fight back is Hitler. With the Legacy Project he was already beginning to walk down the same path Yawgmoth did when trying to "improve" the Thran. Beyond that he saw nothing wrong as long as the ends justified the means, real twisted dude. Absolutely phenomenal writing and character building over the years though, bravo to the writers. Also just subscribed to your channel cuz this is well delivered content, you have a good voice for this and the background music is truly sublime.

@@joelestrada6795 you're right, Urza didn't improve the Thran, Yawgmoth did and we got Phyrexians, the Thran were wiped out by Yawgmoth. I was comparing Urza to a very young Yawgmoth who only wanted the best for the Thran. Great consequences come of the best intentions.

@joelestrada6795 2 года назад

@@Ixidora I'd I remember correctly, yawgmoth didn't really care for the thran. He hated them. He just wanted to do his experiments. Which led to the Phyrexian.

@NotAllWhoWanderAreLost641 2 года назад

This made me cry. Such a beautiful story. I'm so torn what to take away about Urza. He did so much, not sure all of it was good, but he came thru in the end.

@BurnDoubt Год назад

@@arcahmwinters70 it's hard to really delve into him as a character because we are always seeing Through The Eyes of someone right next to him, his brother, kayla, Xantia (always thought it was beautiful that a phyrexian newt was able to humanize him after his.. Ascension) and Barrinalo. I hate to say it but in a way he's a puppet. The only pure times to draw from are the relationship between he and Mishra before they find the stone. After that you have Glaceon trying to will the stone back together, and the corrupted influence of phyrexia just behind the facets of the gems..causing a horribly sad rift between two brothers, a scar deep enough to wound the mtg Multiverse. To me, After the Sylex blast Urza seemed mostly Glaceon, madly coming up with new designs trying to stay one step ahead of the thing peering over his shoulder.. yawgmoth. You could even argue he was the phyrexian portal, I've always thought it was weird that they were literally always one step behind him, as we first see with Sarah's Realm. And I have to come to the defense of his brother. I always thought even though Mishra didn't want to be seen as the younger brother, he was and that's why Urza always felt like he was responsible for him, he was. Mishra was kind and naive (think about his "Thran were minotaurs!" Phase) I think the big brother should have noticed changes as his baby brother was being corrupted and to be the hero should have been able to throw down their Grudge and figure out together, what was causing this

I feel like Urza is the ultimate symbol of power causing disconnection. Like the video says his concern for his inventions and his ideas outweigh any person.

@thepoorgamer3208 9 месяцев назад

Urza is one of my favorite characters in fiction he is the perfect encapsulation of the phrase “The ends justify the means”, that being said Urza was a deeply flawed individual and made many morally grey choices. But I believe that the end of the day every terrible deed he felt forced to do he never forgot those actions and by the end it weighed very heavily on his soul. His main goal was vengeance on Phyrexia for his brother at 1st and then after his raid into Phyrexia, he made that a side goal and needed to defend his home, that admittedly he trashed. I don’t know about you all. When it comes to Earth and we were to face an alien threat like that of the Phyrexians, I would do the same stuff Urza did if it meant Earths survival. Love your voice and the longer form videos.

@maxspecs Год назад

Growing up as a kid in the 90’s, I remember reading novels about much of this story. Gerrard was an amazing hero, and Urza was equal parts God and Devil who did what he must to fight the Superdevil. One small correction, though: Karn already found the Cylix during Return the Dominaria, outright stating he plans to use it on New Phyrexia.

@Blu_Moon_Owl Год назад

I only got into Magic last December just before Kamigawa Neon dynasty came out so I have a lot of Magic history and lore to learn. Friends who are much more experienced about magic talked to me about phyrexians and Urza so now that I have a clear story. I think he’s both a hero and a villain, which probably obvious. He did good things but also really bad things, but in the end he chose the right thing and became a hero in my eyes.

@ROMANTIKILLER2 2 года назад

As I heard someone saying, the story of Urza could be compared to reading a novel in which Hitler is the main protagonist who is fighting against Satan.

You can fill a commander deck and still not get it all in, especially if you include characters like Magetta the Lion (basically your grandpa if he was one of the world's most respected living war generals, in a suit of powered armor specially made so he could still lead troops from the front lines) the 4 or 5 versions of Karn, 2 different versions of Master wizard Barrinalo, there's more than one skyship weatherlight out there, her crew, 2 sagas (Antiquities War and idr) and I would say go ahead and get yourself a copy of Memnarch and shove that in there, since Urza made Karn and Karn made Memnarch 💙 Or just go retro with his lands powering huge fireballs and such

Well... I really can't say I like him, but respect him. I don't know how much I am right but I feel like Urza had such high empathy that he doubled back to become almost without it, because he thought he had to destroy the Phirexians... which mind you, he was right, very much so. But even with his hubris, arrogance, and other bad traits, with the morally reprehensible action, I have to admit his actions were "necessary". He really is a complex character, you can easily see where his decisions were warped by his fault, but you can see too why he did what he did. Great video, very well made. The feeling of the storytelling was on point to transmit all the facts about his story.

@TheLorebrarians 2 года назад

As concluded by The Professor in his examination of such beings, I concur with the argument that Urza remains, by orders of magnitude, the greatest villain in the history of the Multiverse.

I have to disagree. He's the hero we needed not the one we wanted. Were his methods questionable? Yes. Were they needed? Yes. Most people think it was pure vengeance, but he was ready to stop the war and rest when he found out about the shard that protected Dominaria. He continued the battle in order to protect Dominaria. He never said he was a righteous individual. He always did what needed to be done inorder to save the most amount of people.

Kudos to you and everyone at the channel for this one. Highly anticipated and well delivered. Great job! I think you also hit the nail on the head for Dominaria United. I thought, too, that Zhalfir would return finally and we would see the world whole again. I hope they do better stories for the set than the current decent, but hastily written stories.

It shows us what they each dream of after they get the stones. Mishra saw phyrexia and gix saw him. The stone kept a portal to phyrexia closed and held a planeswalker spark from Glaceon.. so splitting in two it's a 50/50 flip, you get corrupted or start getting machine blueprint downloads from a dead guys unignited spark. I think of mishra as the innocent one here, being the younger brother. Urzas original sin was being the older brother who wasn't there when little brother needed him most.

Urza is a very realistic character in terms of behavior. In DnD he totally would be lawful evil since he actually don´t care about others at all. He just need to finish his campaign even though he has to trick, manipulate or even sacrifice others. He just don´t ask the others if they are willing to help, he just utilize them... This to me is a very evil behavior, although the reason is totally valid (phyrexia was a horrible menace). what calls my attention is for sure if he actually felt any piece of remose about his actions, and if so, when... Because it seems with the pass of the years, he became even more megalomaniacal and maquiavelic (the story of the soulbombs... what an A...).

It is like if you put Alexander the Great and Gandalf into one character. Alexander of Macedon has really a really complicated legacy. Became king of Macedonia at age 20 after his father was assassinated, he went on to use the war machine his father built to destroy the Persian Empire in only three major battles over four years. He leveled cities, killed countless people in pursuit of glory and conquest, but he also encouraged multiculturalism, seeking to unite both the conquerors and the conquered as equal citizens of a cosmopolitan empire. Then, he died at age 32, leaving his empire to warring generals with his final words: "to the strongest." Today, many people both idolize and despise Alexander, a man worshipped as a god within his own lifetime and for centuries after his death. But few deny that he, indeed, did great and terrible things in his short life, just as Urza did, both as a human and as a planeswalker. As for Gandalf, he was an immortal figure sent to Middle-Earth specifically to combat the great Enemy, Sauron, and his very presence inspired those around him to stand against darkness. Whether he planned it all out or made it up as he went along, Gandalf was key to Sauron's defeat, as much as Urza was to Yawgmoth's. And just as Gandalf left the world shortly after Sauron's demise, Urza's time was at an end with Yawgmoth's final defeat.

Well the ending of this aged like milk. Ajani is compliated and Karn is captured once more. The sylex has been destroyed (though Teferi is going on a time safari to find out how it works) and the weatherlight has been compliated. Shit hasn't hit the fan; the fan was turned on and dropped into a distillery of the stuff.

I've been playing magic for about 5 years now and never really payed attention to lore. I would read flavor texts but it never really made sense to me. These videos are getting me so excited! Quick question: Where do you get all the cool animations?

@simonteesdale9752 Год назад

A lot of the animations are from magic set trailers. For example, the one with Karn and the globe is from the Dominaria trailer.

A bit of feedback, while I love the story and the actual animated scenes are awesome I did feel a disconnect happen during the scenes that didnt quite match what was being talked about.. An example being I believe Domni Rade(?) Being shown during one of the brothers battles. While yes Domni is known for fighting hes also known for his deep connections with nature (Definitely not something id associated with urza). Idk maybe im a bit picky but I did feel that even though the animted scenes were awesome, I 100% would have prefered a simple card that fit the scene more completely Love your work and im happy to see a suggestion I made actually have an impact!!

@TheLorebrarians 2 года назад

Glad you enjoyed and appreciate the feedback! I've been working with an editor the past few videos so I'll pass on your suggestion. I agree, it could be a bit confusing when the art/video doesn't match what is being discussed and I'll look into it

Urza is by far my favorite Character in MTG. Is he Hero or Villan? Why not both. He decidedly neutral. He isnt driven by acts of evil nor pure altruism, be he is cold an calculating with little regard for others. He's a deeply flawed character who has accomplished great deeds ultimatly for the greater good. He's very Blue.
