Was hoping to hear about Crucius, sphinx planewalker who created Esper's etherium. Not too much lore about him though, hope they bring him back. Great work here, keep it up.
@@johanandersson8252 in mtg angels are the embodiment of white mana (usually the more positive parts as archons are more towards the negative attributes)so to make one would require alot of white mana and some concept as in the stories it explains that avacyn seems to be built around protecting the humans( like that is the literally core of her being) .
The more i watch these (wonderful) videos...the more i realize how powerful Nicol Bolas was :) he truly did damage to the whole multiverse lol he comes up in EVERY video
Color-wise green is still missing. Though its marquee creature type - beasts - might present a challenge due to their diversity or even lack of defining features. Wurm are also quite iconic but might be to rare. Separate idea: how about a stundy on elementals or create types that are a profession not a race, e.g. clerics, soldiers, druids, wizards, etc.
My all-time favorite sphinx is Sphinx Ambassador. The art is so good and its effect is busted in commander. It not only let's you see your opponent's deck and force them to guess which creature, it allows you to reasonably deduce their hand and finally force them to shuffle.
I commend you for your in depth analysis and elaborative storytelling however i must admonish you for missing the most enigmatic sphinx of them all. Big words aside i think arjun the shifting flame is the most emblematic of the sphinxs in that we know literally nothing about him. Including why hes the only blue red aligned sphinx i can think of from an unknown plane no one has ever visited. Hes the reason i fell in love with magic and i think he wouldve been the perfect endnote to the video.
I'm glad you liked video, and that is definitely a missed opportunity! Although I can't discuss every creature printed in the Study In videos, Arjun is worth a mention for being the only red aligned sphinx. Great insight
@@TheLorebrarians not to toot my own horn but i in addition to being a pretty decent izzet mage am also the resident lore expert for the baton rouge area. If you ever want some help on lore related things let me know.
It's definitely an avenue for growth on the channel and I've given it some consideration. I would love to expand content and cover more topics. So far the top suggestions have been for warhammer and D&D. I admit I'm not too familiar with them but I'd love to make videos sometime in the future!
I love these longer in-depth stories, you are so well spoken and make it very easy to listen. Keep up the great work, i love it! Personal suggestion here aswell, but im not sure how much lore there is to it: Dinosaurs!
Love your content. But unfortunately I find the audio is somewhat hard to listen to. At least for me, the 's' sounds and 'sh' sounds are very harsh. If you could look into reducing the sibilance in your microphone recording, I think it would help your video quality a lot. Hope this is constructive, I really love your stuff. Thanks for the video, really appreciate all the hard work you put in!
Great video! Sphinxes often don't get the same attention as angels, demons and dragons but they're so cool!
They don’t want that much attention.
Great video. Can’t wait for the hydra video. “A study in monstrosity.”
Or the oozes, "A study in viscosity."
Or the Jellyfish, "a study in pacificity"
Or wizards "a study in study"
Rats a study in disease
A study in "2 heads are better than 1"
were any sphinx's corrupted by the eldrazi?
Not that we know of, I like to think it's because of their mental prowess and deep insight
@@TheLorebrarians Aww I would of loved to see maybe a Kozilek affected Sphinx distorting reality with twisted intellect
Was hoping to hear about Crucius, sphinx planewalker who created Esper's etherium. Not too much lore about him though, hope they bring him back. Great work here, keep it up.
Wow another mind boggling video lol. I wouldn't mind seeing one done on Thallids, the fungus is often forgotten about.
Thanks for the suggestion! Thallids and saprolings in general are easily overlooked
The furtive thallid, so easily forgotten
I echo this. I don't think I've ever seen a lore vid with fungi and thallids.
👏
My favorite card of all time is Sphinx's Revelation.
Bruh would you let me mix your vocal audio? It's hella boomy, super quick fix.
Yeah, I had been trying some new effects/equipment to test things out. Just shoot me an email if you want to chat
Another awesome video, inspiring and meaningful. Love your work ❤️
Would love to see a video exploring Golems!
Thanks, I appreciate it! And thank you for the suggestion, golems are quite interesting
@@TheLorebrarians A really great question i would like to ask is, what is an Solar how can one make an Angel 👼 like sorin its a bit Angel-related.

Really fascinating beings!
Thank you!
Your plosives are popping. Check that. Good stuff tho.
Already on it, been getting a lot of feedback. Appreciate it
I love this bro ur blowing up frfr
The more i watch these (wonderful) videos...the more i realize how powerful Nicol Bolas was :) he truly did damage to the whole multiverse lol he comes up in EVERY video
You can't escape him! Lol
A study in Duty: Soldiers in Magic.
This would be such a dope topic.
I appreciate the suggestion!
It's criminal how few views such an amazing video has
I'm glad to hear you enjoy it, hopefully I'll get some more eyes on the channel as it continues to grow
@@TheLorebrarians really hope so cause it will be well deserved

I believe green's iconic creature is the Hydra
@@DPedro3 They do fit, exemplifiing growth and instinct but I can't remember seeing more than one per set. I.m.o they might be to rare.
Thanks for the suggestions! Green's day will come next with either hydras or elves. Many requests for elementals and wizards as well
Great episode btw!
Brushwag. “A study of the almighty”
Excellent video both in terms of content and presentation!
I appreciate it, glad you enjoyed!
Thank you I was really waiting for this one.
Hope you enjoy!
Great video man, love these keep them up!
Glad to hear it!
i tried building a Sphinx deck, i sadly didnt have enough Sphinxes.
That is sad. A commander deck or a 60 card deck?
@@TheLorebrarians just a 60, but i only had 5 sphinxes at the time. i think i have 5 still
I subscribed to this channel in hopes this video would be made! Loved it! Love sphinxes!!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the support!
lol caught me of guard - didn't know you where uploading today; good that I need something to listen to while preparing dinner ❤
Hope you enjoyed, have fun in the kitchen
Cool video, but the audio was really weird. Couldn't listen to this at the gym or during commute. Kind of too much reverb may be?
Yeah, I apologize. Was working on audio mixing and it went awry. Already on a fix for next vid and thanks for the feedback
Can you do a ‘Study in Annihilation’ for Eldrazis? Or maybe ‘A Study in Perfection’ for Phyrexians
Both great suggestions! Phyrexia will likely come in the first part of next year as we ramp up towards the Brothers war and dominaria united sets
My all-time favorite sphinx is Sphinx Ambassador. The art is so good and its effect is busted in commander. It not only let's you see your opponent's deck and force them to guess which creature, it allows you to reasonably deduce their hand and finally force them to shuffle.
Jeez this video was SO GOOD. Very much up my alley. Great work and thank you for making this
I think many would agree- A Study in Mayhem- the Goblins of Magic- would be a most welcome addition.
i really want an esper sphinx tribal commander, yes i know morophon exists.
The real mystery is how some have their hair braided and how some of them have armor and clothing xD
Your videos are so good! 🔥
I appreciate it, glad you enjoy!
Great Video!!!
Fascinating! I've been a fan of Sphinxes since then.

Are you a fan of D&D? because I couldn’t find noone as good you for that universe. I’d love if you would do it

This makes me want to build a sphinx commander deck lol
Do it! And let me know how it goes haha maybe azorious sphinxes?
The amount of work you put into all these videos is much appreciated! Respect :0 Keep up the great work!
This channel is so slept on 😭 once the masses find this well on content it's gonna blow up ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Thanks so much, glad you enjoy the videos!
A study in chaos, goblins
I want a Slivers video. Or bears. My two favorite creature types.
Slivers would be a great tribe to cover
Horrors!
cant hear you at all
What are the sphinxes on the backgrounds???
I truly love the fact that you put pictures with the story.....really helps
It's so quiet even on max volume
Thanks for the feedback, will look into it
I love these longer in-depth stories, you are so well spoken and make it very easy to listen. Keep up the great work, i love it!
Personal suggestion here aswell, but im not sure how much lore there is to it: Dinosaurs!
I really appreciate it and thanks for the suggestion! Dinos are awesome
This is easily one of the best lore channels on TH-cam. Great work sir! You are a very talented narrator!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
I missed this

Thanks for the video, really appreciate all the hard work you put in!
Thanks for the feedback, been trying to change audio and I over did it with this vid (self-taught trial and error). Already on it for next time!
Could you maybe try wolves?
They and werewolves did get some more representation in the new set, I'll definitely consider it. I appreciate the suggestion!
Great Video! you should do elementals next!
They are definitely on the list of future topics!
