I like what they did with Ixalan gods turning into lands and possibly coming back later in the game. It shows that killing a God is no easy task but still keeps the cards well balanced.
I'd love to see a Fate Reforged-esque story line where The Ancient One never was killed by Aclazotz and we could possibly learn his original name. I just love the lore of Ixalan. It might be my favorite plane of all time to visit.
There will never be a replacement for Etali. I think what makes one an Elder is being ancient. There is no Dinosaur with a innate affinity to storms to replace him.
@@delllee4915 I mean, we don't know that. Heck, we didn't even know gods truly existed on this plane so we definitely don't know if there isn't a dinosaur that could or couldn't replace Etali.
It was cathartic seeing what happened to Etali in March of the Machine. On one hand I do like the new phyrexian designs and on the other compleation just meant that they were dead especially with the ending of MoM's story.
I love the flavor of the Ixalan gods. It matches the flavor of the Mayan culture that the sun empire is based on. The Mayan believed that everything goes through cycles, including the universe.
I would be interested in knowing what could the original black mana god represent. Could his undoing be the reason why the olmec civilisations didn't evolve too much ? With the lack of ambition to drive scientific research society stayed how it was ? Or could hid dead "body" have been the thing that gave life to the mycotyrant ? It will never be asnwered but the idea is really interesting to see a totally benevolant black mana god
@@AetherHub My tinfoil theory is that seing how many south american civilisation seemed to have mummies, the original god would have made a lot of mummies/zombies, making the core looking similar to Amonkhet in that regard. Sadly, we'll never know
I have played against the mono-green Ixilan God. Man, that deck was backbreaking... So much value from one creature. It was dropping huge creature after huge creature each turn.
My favorite gods are Ojer Pakpatiq and Aclazotz. Ojer Pakpatiq for being direct and to the point despite what he represents as something innately cryptic. Aclazotz for how he came to be, and what he represents in terms of the story as a whole, even though to me his end goal seems to lead him to ruling over a dead world if he succeeds.
@AetherHub I also don't understand it, but at least Aclazotz is a God. To us it would be pointless because we can't do anything with a desolate wasteland, but maybe he can? Who knows. I would like his reasoning to be better explained though.
My only question is why is The Jurasic Park Characters on Ixlan? if they wanted to make a Crossover , just make a Fucking crossover. But i do appreciate WOTC not Race swapping Ian Malcom...thats nice, thank you.
Idk, I was kinda hoping we get gods like a Dino god that offers direct support to dino tribal. Perhaps a god that does the same to the Ixalan merfolk and humans!? Etc and so forth. Ball was kinda dropped on this.... They really coukd have made alot more suppprt for dinos with the introduction of new gods. Oh well 😒
Yeah so close and side by side the Oltec and Pantheon that we only see one (not worshipped) and only hear of like two others. Sorry, this video falls kinda flat with the story fully lacking any divine presence 😮💨

Don't get me wrong, it makes sense that gods exist in Ixalan, however I kinda wanted to see the rise of a new elder dinosaur to replace Etali.

@@EdgarCastillo-c6j Yeah, it's truly sad
They kind of did with Itzquinth, Firstborn of Gishath. Then an elder dinosaur yet because they're only a little baby.
Ixilan gods are pretty interesting.
They’re a really cool take on indestructible Gods in MTG
Are you planning on making a full video on that giant race that invaded the core from another plane?
Yup! It’s a huge mystery and likely a point of the lore in the future :)

I just got back into MTG after 10+ years of putting it down. Started with nothing two weeks ago. I'm enjoying this set.
I pulled the special Ojer Taq in the 3rd pack of the set I opened and it went STRAIGHT INTO my Jinnie Fay deck
I feel like cosminum is gona be a meguffin for later plot stuff
You very well may be right.
"Gods in MTG have divided the player base"
So just like religion in real life-
Like such, we don’t bring up Heliod at the dinner table.
Ojer Taq, I’ve paired it with Edgar Markov to vomit out vampire tokens at a ridiculous level
yay a new video!!
Nice video, would love to see the story finished though.
I’ll have a big video where it’ll be covered. I promise

I think, as they became the Ancient One, they probably would have been the ushers of the dead to become echoes

Take out the quote about being an "investment opp". dont get in trouble

These are by far my new favorite gods from magic. Especially Kaslam and Axonil
I'm a bit mad that Ojer Pakpatiq isn't a serpent god
Would have been nice from snake decks, but I also feel like all the gods could have had sub types
I’m confused. Did you make a Chapter 5 video? It seems like the story hasn’t concluded yet..
I actually combined a token spam deck with white god using 5 color omnath as commander…..
Did anyone else see the phyrexian symbol at 7:50? Or was it just me?🤔
You saw right ;)
@@AetherHub i knew i wasnt tripping!! Does that mean they are still alive??
You can worship a
Multihead God
Sneky Snek God
Skull God
Big God
Dead God
OR
NANANANANANANANANANA BATGOD
2º coolest creature type ever made, just after dragons
And then we have GOD DRAGONS 🐉
Tiamat babyyyyyyyy!!!

I never understood villains with that motivation. To rule over ashes?? Why?

Id like a waffle cone with 3 scoops. Glistening oil for the first, Halo for the second, and for the third scoop I'll have the new Chimil flavor.
Ojer Axonil, made a deck that's entire purpose is to make him stronger and then ping for lethal.
Aren't Gods of kaldheim more humanize than ixlan?
Not as much since they reside in a different realm from the mortals. Essentially separating them from their worshippers.
nicethanks
I wonder how these gods compare to the gods of Kaldheim?
Y 499? Y not even 500
I like the bat. Nanannanannanana bat god!
Great video!
Only God we need is Elspeth.
She is an angel not a god.
My only question is why is The Jurasic Park Characters on Ixlan? if they wanted to make a Crossover , just make a Fucking crossover. But i do appreciate WOTC not Race swapping Ian Malcom...thats nice, thank you.
