March of the Machine: The Aftermath is a special "micro expansion" for Magic: The Gathering, and it gives us 50 additional cards for Standard that also help portray the game's ongoing story.
Along with that, we got two written story chapters that focus on Nissa and Nahiri, both former planeswalkers, struggling to deal with life after their time as an agent of New Phyrexia...

I would say the Final Rest tee: www.intotheam.com/collections/mens-graphic-t-shirts/products/final-rest-tee?color=Black It has red and green flowers, similar to the one's Hans is holding in his legendary creature card, and the skull symbolizes death, and as we all know, that's important to the lhurgoyf creature type in general, and Hans is perhaps best known for being called out in the flavor text of one such card.

While I don’t agree with Nahiri on much, refusing to “atone” for what she did during her time as a phyrexian is absolutely fine. After all why should a character atone for actions they essentially didn’t commit, as they didn’t have the free will to disobey. A person who is mind controlled is not responsible for the acts of their body after all. But then she immediately betrays that by judging Ajani by what he did as a phyrexian, proving just how awful of a person she is, never change Nahiri, never change.

It's not serious mental gymnastic, It's just a mix of personality matrix plus personnal account and a bit of trigger. Human (or humanoid) are emotional being; we don't operate on full rationality. The best thing to do at the moment (not for long term, obviously) is to have some periods of quiteness perhaps for both of them. Although unrelated, it turns out 12th doctor was right. Every problem ever will settle into one final form: "Sit down and Talk!", which is something that ought to be done in the first place, and always is something we return to.

@@ryukaze20 We do know about vraska. I will copy an answer for my question about vraskas fate. Big thanks to Amber Hernandez who took time to give me the answer. Vraska went to Ravnica, where she dumped a load of oil into the Undercity. The corrupted Golgari forces followed her to the upside, where the oil started to surge upwards. Izzet scientists are all over the stuff (naturally), lawkeepers are trying to force the populace back, and chaos is ensuing. Vraska's forces gouge out the eyes of those they don't compleat, and things look pretty bleak for the plane. Meanwhile, Vraska is having a war in her head. She's bouncing back and forth between herself and her Phyrexian self, in mental shambles with all that's happening. She ends up stopping by her apartment, where it's revealed she's got a cute little collection of trinkets from her adventures, one of which is the thaumatic compass Jace and she used on Ixalan. Touching the device ignites something in her mind, a sort of fail-safe that Jace placed there when he Induced Amnesia on her at the end of the Ixalan story. He meant to "fix" that after War of the Spark, but never had the time, and now her memories and personality are surging back. There's a pretty steamy moment in here, where Vraska appreciates Jace and realises why she fell in love with him again (THIS SIDE STORY IS REALLY GOOD AND REALLY WELL WRITTEN PLEASE GO READ IT ALISON LÜHRS IS INCREDIBLE), but she unfortunately has to get back to the invasion. Awaiting Vraska's approach, Ral Zarek has a new toy that shows his ingenuity and prep skills, as when he's attacked, he blasts Vraska with something that boils the oil in her body . The resulting explosion brings the house down on Vraska as Ral escapes, and the gorgon is trapped under the rubble. A vision of Jace appears again, telling her "this is going to hurt," and then he wrenches her normal self to the forefront of her mind again before that segment ends. When the rubble is excavated, Vraska's nowhere to be found, and Jace makes no in-person appearance here.

I remember when i started MtG with Urza saga (i stopped to play at Nemesis), the old Phyrexia was around for several blocs story wise and right from the get go, you knew that it was no jokes. New Phyrexia was barely noticeable until "All will be one" and when it finally get serious with March of the machine, its invasion ended right when it started in a single expansion. I would have liked to know if the New Phyrexia was set to last longer but cut down by the higher up, because this was the setting for an entire expansion per plane invaded, it could have lasted longer than the Old Phyrexia war while being more impactful. No really, i don't think that the level of the writers has decreased so much that what we got was the original plan for the New Phyrexia invasion.

Now that the story "concluded" I think that this whole phyrexian invasion was very poorly executed. It could have been so much more, it could have been several sets as each plane fought back and won (or not) using different strategies. Even if the phyrexians were truly defeated, realmbreaker could have become a permanent bridge among planes for those brave enough to brave its branches through the blind eternities. New Mirrodin could have become the heart of the multiverse, a planar crossroads. Problems could leak from one plane to the next as the citizens realized they were now part of a new, conected, multiverse. And that is just one idea I had in 5 minutes. But no, back to the status quo, with stories focused on the same basic idea "plane has a problem, planeswalkers fix it".

Set two is where they actually invade and most of the planes we see are losing and getting compleated with maybe a plane here or there resisting but at great cost. Set three is where Elspeth arrives all suped up and helps maybe boost Halo into being a cure and uses it do destroy the invading phyrexians, maybe toss in that Zalphyr plane switching in too.

That sounds like the block format, which Wizards decided was too much to hold onto back in 2016. They dropped to one large set + one small set, and then Dominaria came along and essentially absorbed the smaller set, an example which most sets would follow. Midnight Hunt/Crimson Vow was the first time since the single-plane set template came into being that said template changed. Two back-to-back sets on the same plane, both of relatively similar size and telling two halves of the same story, but Oh Nooooooooo, don't call it a block! 😭

Nahiri is my second favorite character in Magic (behind Thalia) and while this story IS really sad and frustrating for her characterization, I think it IS in character for her to act like this. Especially since she's constantly being betrayed or opposed by other planeswalkers, so her having a hair trigger after this and jumping to the wrong conclusions makes sense. That being said, it also felt like a situation where if these two characters could sit down and have a dang conversation with each other like actual thinking beings, this whole thing could have been avoided. Poor Nahiri. Hope she gets a better story next time around.

13:25 ... so REALLY just the two compleated planeswalkers we knew about THAT GOT THEMSELVES SOME CARDS from the March of the Machine story, ... b/c Tibalt was compleated but never got his card, which I know most people don't care about but my partner's favorite planeswalker is Tibalt and their favorite thing in Magic is the Phyrexians, so the idea that we were going to get a Compleated Tibalt card was fuel for so much hype and the fact that we haven't gotten one is a crime. I know we can still get some more cards in the future that are about characters/events from the past, but to be perfectly honest for me personally the fact that we didn't get more compleated planeswalkers and cards for them, enough to "compleat" either a 10 card two-color cycle or a 15 card one-&-two-color cycle of the "Compleated Planswalkers," is very much upsetting me about the outcome of these last few sets. Don't get me wrong, March of the Machine is probably my favorite set of all time from a "cracking some packs and playing the cards" point of view, it is really fun to both open and play! But taking in the other sets that connect to this one, the outcome of what we were given did not fully meet my expectations, both in terms of narrative and card product. I'd give WotC a passing grade, but they're only passing b/c of everything that is not their ending including half of this epilogue. I like the idea of some planeswalkers losing their sparks and I like that all the planes are more connected now for non-planeswalkers to now travel between the planes, and in mentioning this, I know of someone who actually predicted that WotC was going to somehow shift the focus of their future stories away from the planeswalkers and more onto the legendary creatures b/c of the Commander format, so I guess that person was right and this is their way of doing it. But that being said, it is hard to ignore the contradiction filled outcome that we have gotten from this. It really makes me wish to know how they write their story and if they proof-read each or fact check others' works. Notice it is not "how" but "if," that's how you know we're concerned. Anyway, that's all to say 1) I hope WotC eventually asks for Ryan and others to help proof read their story before they publish it to their online story site so that he and hopefully others could critique and fact check their shit, kind of how they got external comedy writers to help with the flavor text on the Unfinity set. And 2) I have a message to Wizards: "HEY! Give us 8 more Compleated Planewalkers you cowards! Enough to Compleat the 15 card Mono- and Two-Color cycles! And make Tibalt one of them! Either the Mono-Red or Black-Red one!" Probably gunna send this to Gavin Verhey where ever I can, hahaha.

Everyone is really expecting way too much from Nahiri. It's a wonder she's even mobile. She spent centuries guarding the eldrazi seal on zendikar in relative solitude until she was driven insane by watching everyone she meets grow old and die. She went so far as to cocoon herself so she could hibernate until the alarm signaled. When it did and her allies didn't appear, she dealt with the threat and went in search of Sorin concerned for his safety. On Innistrad he casually explains that the Helvault blocked the signal and that he couldn't be concerned with her plane because he needed to protect his and said to find Ugin. Betrayed by her mentor, and one of the only people she can even vaguely relate to that she knows in the multiverse, she lashed out and Avacyn locked her in the Helvault. For 6000 years. For 6000 years she was tortured by demons, marinated on Sorin's betrayal, and worried that if she ever got out her entire plane would be gone. And you know what? When she got out that's exactly what was happening. She planeswalked to Zendikar and found the Eldrazi devouring her world. In addition, she didn't have the godlike pre-mending powers she once did. None of us can imagine the anguish and impotence. So it's not like she's had time to work through any of this. Her immediate thought was vengeance on Sorin and Innistrad. I mean, while Innistrad was basically innocent, she's absolutely unhinged by now and she was also tortured on that plane for 6000 years so why should she care about it? Then, after finally getting some modicum of revenge on Sorin and trapping him like he trapped her, Sorin is freed by Bolas when he teleports them both to Ravnica. Remember, Nahiri's previous experience with an elder dragon was that he didn't fucking show up and her plane was eaten so now another one took the one of the only things she cares about (her vengeance) away. I'm not sure how long after that she got compleated, but then to add insult to injury she's forced to attack her home twhose defense led to all of her pain? She's forced to betray herself. For 6000 years she's known nothing but pain and betrayal and you want her to trust these INFANTS she's just met? People she can't possibly relate to while the one person she can maybe relate to in teh universe she fucking hates? Nah. She has only legitimate reasons for being the way she is, and while that leaves her the villain in everyone else's stories, expecting better of her is crazier than she is.

I absolutely agree on the thematic appropriateness of using these two characters to highlight some of the responses toward the catastrophic changes that we've been through, but I do wish that there had been a Tezzeret story as well, because...I mean, come on. We know how he's going to react. He's going to try and find some way to use this to his advantage, because he's the closest thing to a pure villain we've got that isn't asleep in some big floating metal ball or smothered in Ugin in the plane of ultimate boringness. Crisis, opportunity - all that mess. I'm also a little bit shocked that they actually managed to limit themselves just to telling thematically contextual stories this time and not dropping ship bait. We know that we're going to end up on Ixalan shortly (a plane relevant to two walkers people have some concern about) and it would have been trivially easy to write a POV passage for some unknown soul waking up on a beach. I'll reserve my congratulations until I find out what they actually intend to do, but I do admire their restraint. One thing that I do find ironic in that Alanis kind of way is how high and mighty Nahiri has decided to be about planeswalkers wrecking shop in other peoples' houses. She is, after all, the one who tried to do a genocide because she got ghosted by a dude, but when the Eldrazi inevitably return...I mean, they came to Zendikar for a reason, and she couldn't beat them by herself then. Considering the practical circumstances, it looks like the Wizards team is making a pretty clear statement about the way to react to disastrous personal change - let in rather than push out. Whether she likes it or not, Nahiri is going to have to learn to work with other beings of enormous power - probably planeswalkers - when the bill inevitably comes due for that whole Eldrazi business (let's not forget Ugin's warning, which Jace so happily ignored - killing those two titans with fire might have some consequences, particularly now that the Blind Eternities have some holes punched in them). Nahiri has been a character in search of a redemption arc ever since she first set out to murder a bunch of innocents in an act of petty vengeance, so it's interesting to see her take the heel turn yet again and place herself in an antagonistic position toward what we all know is going to have to happen at some point so long as this story is being told.

This was an interesting set of stories. Over all I loved the characterization and writing, not having all the answers makes sense for Nissa, but was a bit frustrating for Nahiri. What it really left me with though was wanting more. Only two stories for the fifty cards depicting at least 10 despsparked walkers and we only focus on two of them? Especially with some of them being one we haven't heard from in a long time like Sarkhan/ Narset, Calix, etc. I just wish we'd gotten at least a bit of their perspective since they weren't present in the past set.

Yeah... Nahiri's characterisation annoys me quite a bit. She seems to have been reduced to "Is A N G R Y" after the SOI storyline, with most new appearances just making her angrier. Wish we could see more of the character she used to be, like how the original Lithomancer art portrays her as very not-screaming-furiously-to-murder-someone. Heck, even in SOI she's got a more focused vengeance thing going on, with a somewhat lower amount of outright fury than nowadays. But in a way it makes sense, she's old and refusing to adapt to the fact the Zendikar has changed. Old folks being unwilling to adapt to changes is far too accurate.

What do you think about the story facts that LRR gave recently (that were all given to them by the lead for Magic's story, so all should be canon)? The two important and fully new bits of info: The Wanderer lost her spark, but it's actually VERY happy about this fact and is taking time to explore Kamigawa. Light-Paws is still acting as her regent on the throne. Obby Nix was fully intending on staying out of the phyrexian invasion, and just hid out on New Capenna to let it ride out. He was actually surprised that the phyrexians lost, and was even more surprised (and very angy >:[ ) that he lost his ability to Planeswalk AGAIN. He's currently planning to make use of the power vacuum left by basically the entirety of the Maestros dying off. Oh and also they aren't entirely convinced that Vorinclex is dead dead, since he is apparently a "very powerful flesh mage" but all the other praetors are super dead.

In my last video (Where does the Magic story come from?) I address the difference between story and lore. The information shared in the LRR video is lore; it is bits of trivia which add to the history of a world, but it's not a story. In that video, I stress that we're here for stories, which take the reader (or player) on a ride, with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Being told "The Wanderer lost her spark but she's actually happy about it!" isn't a story, so for now I'm pretty much ignoring it. I don't need more random bits of lore to memorize about everyone's status throughout the multiverse - I want to hear stories, and that's what we talk about on this channel (mostly.)

Which, honestly? I thought it was an interesting and realistic way of dealing with that since plenty of people go through a similar thing and I’m happy they finally had Nissa and Chandra get together and it’s cute.

There's a lot stuff that's...left to be desired about this set's lore; but I think the Omenpaths are giving me the most mixed thoughts. On the one hand, they seem like they'll be great additions to revisit sets, allowing Legendary creatures of other planes to explore established locations the upcoming Eldraine & Ixalan sets; or even or see established setting react to each other & interact, like if we got a Theros vs Kaldheim set. On the other hand, I worry that their misuse could make new planes feel even more one-note and 'plane of hats'-y than we've been getting already. For example; New Capenna already felt a bit unexplored & one note, but I have to image a chunk of it's set being taken up by Innistrad while iconic characters from Dominaria or Ravnica take up Legendary creature slots wouldn't have helped. So all in all, this seems great for revisit sets; I just hope they either majorly tone Omenpath stuff down for new planes, or they just stop being a thing by the time we see our next new major plane.

Personally I would have wanted more small stories to show up in this set. Maybe something like the large battle scenes in MOM. Just spend a few short paragraphs on one plane to see how things are going, then switch to another plane to see how they are dealing with it. For example, show the people of Kaldheim still fighting per the norm, but if the battle unearths remains from the phyrexian invasion, everyone stops to move the battle elsewhere or rebury those they have lost. Maybe show inventors on Kaladesh playing around with things to get rid of phyresis using aether. Show how the Golgari are dealing with what happened during the invasion. And in doing all these little snippets of atory, you could then hint at some of the planeswalkers who lost thier spark, like saying "oh that guy over there helping with repairs looks vaugely like Sarkhan." What we have now is just too little for the answers we needed after MOM.

Theroes's patheon got chunk'd? Best we can do is a card that suggest Elspeth might be deified. Strixhaven is in shambles and Quintorius's spark ignited? No hint where he is, best we get is a card suggesting theyre rebuilding fine. Vraska's story heavily implies the Golgari were almost entirely converted, and thus are now dead. One of the 10 Guilds of Ravnica, reduced to almost nothing, maybe even just outright gone. No follow up on that. Insane.

I feel like it's thematically important to mention that Nahiris spark hedron shattered because she specifically fell into the giant pit of metal she had made: almost like a metaphor of how her focus on Zendikar will be her grave

Well that and nahiri had a chance to get her spark back and she let her paranoia and anger take over and it cost her that ...

"I'll make sure planeswalkers will never harm Zendikar again!" She says after almost killing herself to slightly annoy a non-hostile planeswalker...

My personal theory is that this "mass despark" is an excuse to turn popular planeswalkers into commanders. Because apparently that's easier than just saying "all planeswalkers can be commanders now!". I mean, you can do it in Arena already, why not in paper MTG?

As a vorthos player this entire series of sets has been... frustrating. We have so many things happen in the Phyrexian saga and almost none of this sticks! We don't even have a clear answer about how sparks work consistently

I think Nahiri was different before she got betrayed, she knew how to trust other people, right? Nissa is just opposite, she learned it from the days with gatewatch. Perhaps Nissa's gonna be the one who cause Nahiri to get back her faith in trusting other people.

This could have been the perfect opportunity to make some space in the cast of characters and wrap up some stories. They should have died. Maybe save Ajani but leave him a broken ruin of himself limping through the multiverse trying to make things right and live with himself. You could then have an interesting butting of heads between him and Garruk as to who has what is best for the Kenriths at heart. This was narratively informative as to when to just keep some people dead.

This is somehow going to lead to Eldrazi and then they'll also wrap that story up messily and make everyone mad again. I can't wait!

I've always meant to ask since I started watching these, but what is the outro music you use? There isn't a link to someone else's stuff so did you (the channel) come up with it yourselves?

Here me out…Ajani takes Naheri’s spark and planeswalkes to Dominaria. There, in his quest to make things right, he and others salvage the Weatherlight and fuse it with Naheri’s spark now making it able to traverse the multiverse once more.

With the presence of omenpaths, the Weatherlight can already travel between planes once more.

We have to assume the oil corrupting it was also rendered inert, and so the ship itself may be salvageable once again.

Looking forward to the story spotlight of Tiana getting absolutely apoplectic at the state of The Weatherlight, Jhoira rigging up a firetruck full of Halo, and Squee and Slimefoot having fun dousing the whole thing three times over until its shiny again
