I remember beginning with Mirrodin as my first expansion, being so amazed by bits of lore about Memnarch! I am so happy you explained everything about the plain in detail, thanks as always Erek!
5:01 your verbiage here makes me think something, is it possible that Karn's decision to not just stay on Argentum and relax could've been a deep set desire from the oil inside him to explore and spread phyresis?
I've thought that for a while. There's no indication in the story, but I like to imagine Karn's Phyrexian Heartstone had leftover sleeper agent programming. And Karn becoming one with the Legacy weapon triggered some upgrade deep into its Heartstone's glistening oil, and it mutated, became more virulent. At Yawgmoth's death, the oil's programming kicked in, pushing Karn into reproducing Phyrexia. I hope Karn has a major part to play in March of the Machine!
@@askani21 that makes a lot of sense! Especially as we get more glimpses into the psyche of those being infected, like on the new Thrill of Possibility card
@@GlendaDiaz-jk3ko Oh you're in the future! Me too, I just used my natural time traveling power of "waiting one year" :) Turns out I read a bit too much into the story lolll But hey, technically, Karn beats the bad guy! He disintegrated Norn's head lolll I loved the story, but I would have liked a bit more depth and explanation about the sci-fi stuff, but I guess that's just me.
Fantastic video but I do wish you had gone into Karn’s capture when he returned. I only know a little about it and would have appreciated more in depth exploration
The Mirari has always been my favorite card in all of MtG; its simple yet iconic design, its power, its lore. I believe the Mirari is our only hope against the March. It must be found before the Traitor's latent Spark awakes... we haven't much time left. Any word from the Tolarians?
Woah... Never thought about the Mirari doing a come back! I remember loving the Mirari so much back in the days, its power was so mysterious and otherworldly. It felt as if the Infinity Gauntlet was just laying in a vault loll. When it became Memnarch, I was hyped, it became my favorite villain. But what happened to it at the end? After Memnarch's destruction, did Karn reassimilate the Mirari into his body? It would be awesome for the Mirari to return and turn the tide of the March of the Machine. Would be poetic. It has a huge responsability in the recreation of Phyrexia. Becoming sentient again, it could attempt to right its wrongs, try to return New Phyrexia back to its pure original Argentum form.
I have allways been a friend of the Mirrodin Plain and with all my travels around Ravnica and Strixxhaven i learned as much as i could about the fate that has befallen the 'Metallic' Plain. Hopefully it can be restored and healed from all that it has suffered like Dominaria was healed after the great darkness that had befallen it in times past.
My first cards were Legion set but Mirrodin was where the game really clicked not just playing it but the lore involved. Now that it's become the home of my favorite faction as New Phyrexia just feels like validation in my love for the game as a whole
Masterful work. I am always amazed and in awe at the detail. You don't just tell lore, you create the story for us to follow. It is an honor to listen to your work. Thank you.
ahhhh remembering my Blue-Artifact Affinity Deck and also goosebumps during the intro of Mirrodin Expansion that is it Karn's work. great work gor the narration as well.
ah lol i didn't knew there was another variant of Consume Spirit 21:19 i got the one from Tenth Edition On my card it says : ''Your blood,your marrow,your spirit-all are mine.'' -Mayvar , minion of Geth
I, somehow, missed this blessed historic telling of Mirodin. Thank you for this additional tome of knowledge in the ever growing archive, oh Lorebrarian.
I liked the video but you should have shown the original mirran versions of cards (especially lands) instead of their phyrexian counterparts when introducing Mirrodin
not trying to be mean but the card transitions that arent jump cuts or are fast fades just look bad, and are disruptive to the viewers. They also give people less time to read text while video is playing.
I think Niv Mizzet is going to finish his artificial spark technology, and find New Phyrexia sloughing into other planes, and will have to hurriedly expand his processes to lead a massive multi-planar war on Phyrexian perfection.
i feel like the story have so many inconsistency because Hasbro and wizard showing that the lore is exiled from de process of making magic.... at this moment i would prefer if wizard stop doing this style of shit job, it would be better to magic don't have articles with lore only make some videos about it... is a disappointment ho wizard is destroying magic for a few bucks
Honestly, mirrodin to new phyrexia is so bizarrely inconsistent. And the lack of back story to so many transitions. Things just are, with not much of an explanation.

This brought me to tears :(, Mirrodin's story is tragic, and I hope the plane heals in some way after March of the Machines
About that
It was too late.
Because mirrodin was beyond saving.
Damn, I was wrong 🥺
Not gonna lie. Had a shitty day, got mugged, and got a cold. But honestly I saw a video from you and it really did glow up my afternoon. Thank you!
Sorry to hear that but I'm glad I could uplift your spirits. Hope you enjoyed!
being Stoned n watching a Bug Run over the Screen really got me !!
I'm stoned too. It's 4:20 here and pioneer Is at 6:30 haha
Being a bug and running over your screen seeing you stone'd really bugged me !!
@@AnimeProfilePicture Thanks I need that Laugh!!
Bro me too!!!🤣🤣
Stoned, I read this comment as the bugs began moving. Talk about a brain fart LOL
You really deserve so much more recognition than you get for your MTG vids, genuinely in a whole different league from everyone else.

Glad you enjoy it! Mirrodin was one of my first as well

Check out my video detailing Karn's entire story for an in-depth look! This is meant to explore the plane more so than the characters
@@TheLorebrarians oh awesome will do!
What a brilliant video, great dive into the lore

This was such a great video, not only well narrated, but wonderfully edited, too! Great work!
I love the old desing of Mirrodin, I hope they can take back the plane
March of the Machines will change the Multiverse forever.
Excellent job, Lorebrarians! 🙏
Many thanks!

Perhaps a history of the planeswalker Nahiri
Mirrodin was my introduction to MTG. To this day, my old cat deck is my favorite. It's sad to see the fate of this realm.
ah lol i didn't knew there was another variant of Consume Spirit 21:19
i got the one from Tenth Edition
On my card it says : ''Your blood,your marrow,your spirit-all are mine.''
-Mayvar , minion of Geth
ALSO JUST A FEW DAYS AGO AFTER THE FRIDAY NIGHT MAGIC
I deciced to get a Phurexia booster and i actually got Geth :P 23:14
What do people eat on this plane I never could figure it out.
The Bug That runs over The Screen !!
Iron-rich vegetables
So mad 😡 my home plane justice for mirrodin
Let’s go
I was not expecting bugs to crawl across my screen lmao. Great video though!
Trying out new effects and presentation style haha appreciate it!

Great vid! Keep up the work🤝🤝💪
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!
Mirrodin was like the realm of metal with many organic lifeforms and many types of robots and machines.
Leave the cards up longer so I can read them without having to pause every 10 seconds please 🙏
Do ravnica
No word about the mirran resistence? Were they dropped from the lore?
ALL WILL BE ONE🤘🏼
I'm still mad at WotC for how they did Mirrodin dirty.
I think Niv Mizzet is going to finish his artificial spark technology, and find New Phyrexia sloughing into other planes, and will have to hurriedly expand his processes to lead a massive multi-planar war on Phyrexian perfection.
Lol
16:04 that female goblin on the left is kinda hot.
This video is so great, thank you 😊🙏🏽
Glad you enjoyed it!
For mirrodin!
well-done
First?
Good work done. thank you for the effort
Appreciate it
I have been so excited for this
Hope you enjoyed
