Holy crap you guys. I thought it’d take me months, if not years, if not never to hit 1k subs. I’m super overwhelmed that y’all enjoyed this mad video I made. Thank you so much, you lovely spicy people ❤️❤️❤️
so you know. The gobins specifically started eating Hedrons (the magical floating rocks infused with many unknown spells) to protect themselves against the Eldrazi. Not just normal rocks. They are magical cuthulu bait rocks. also Tarkir goblins genders have different colored fur. White=male, Red=female.
weirdproq1 ok I'm a bit late but take the crown has a double meaning you could be giving daretti the crown for his accomplishments or actually naming the set
I refuse to believe that such a spicy channel just popped up mere weeks ago. Were you a victim of Sarkhan's meddling of time? Or did Memnarch kidnap you, but you managed to escape? Perhaps you were one of the goblins that Slobad sent home? Or maybe you were a slave in another MTG TH-camr's editing dungeons, but you finally revolted and went off to start your own channel. So many questions. Oh and great video btw.
BlueBeardedDevil you're so fkn kind wtf. That was such a lovely compliment, this is my first and only bit of video editing I've done so I'm still finding my footing but I'm so glad it seems professional!
I was complaining about the lack of depth on Fiora Goblins, then I realized that you could do a thirty minute episode on just that and still not cover it. And I could say the same for nearly every other plane that all have a depth of history for this tribe, some a lot more depth than others. Now I'm amazed you were able to cover as much as you did in such a short amount of time. Thank you for the content!
Thanks so much for saying that. I absolutely wished I could have gone into more depth but I wasn't confident in producing a video that was over an hour at that point in the channel ya know.
@@Spice8Rackthere is pain in your future. This comment, of a man soon to be entombed in cardstock, it saddens me I’m boutta get all emotional yall it’s fucked yall oh my lord we gotta tell him we gotta oh my damn
My guy you’re far far too kind 😍 I’m just making these because I’m interested in the topic, the fact that they’re entertaining to all of y’all is just the icing on the cake!
wow I had never really paid attention at how varied the goblins in magic are. Really makes appreciate how diverse mtg art is. Thank you for the weeks of godless research that led to this awesome video! Also as a side note, I think the new goblin appearance in battle for Zendikar can easily excuse the inconsistency for being so visually interesting. I love when wotc tries to shift away from the generic green goblin and makes something more unique to the plane like the yeti-like goblins of Tarkir, or the rat-like goblins of Jund or whatever you would call the goblins of Mirrodin/New Phyrexia. In fact, I wish they did it with as a rule of thumb, not as an exception. I was a very big fan of the horns they gave to the elves of Lorwyn and hope that the generic fantasy art-style can become a thing of the past in the future sets to come.
"This video essay is far too long, isn't it ?" Honestly, I haven't seen those 33 minutes passed. I've enjoyed the lore and the analysis from start to finish, it was so good ! I can't wait to see more of your work :D
I'm glad you spent the time and took the toll on your sanity that this video required. I'm also glad to see the opinions of "Changing the art design of Zendikar and Mirrodin's goblins for the sequels was an odd decision" and "Even if the greater multiverse is improved by having Ugin present in it, Sarkhan ruined Tarkir with his meddling", since these are opinions that I also hold.
This is an absolute masterpiece in comedy, presentation, and storytelling. Im so happy to have found this video and channel in particular, I was looking for an extensive in-depth history on magic characters/creatures/events, so this is perfect. Hope to see more great videos like this soon, amazing work!!!
Rewatching this masterpiece after a few years since Spice feel the need to spend HALF A YEAR working on videos now! It is interesting seeing the differences and similarities to newer videos. I'm really glad you gained popularity, you deserved it.
I just found your channel and so far I'm really impressed! The way you compress the extreme sum of magic lore down into funny and interesting videos is just phenomenal. I very much enjoy subscribing and I wish you luck with videos in the future.
Great video! Glad to have found your channel since goblins are, and have been my favorite tribe for 15 years. I’ve never read any lore but I’m definitely thinking about it now. Please do more like this. Maybe featuring the Elves and Lorwyn.
Wow, I'm so glad it's gotten your approval, especially with your decade and a half of experience. I certainly want to delve into Lorwyn, and the Elves are SUCH a big faccet of that plane's philosophy. I think I'd also touch on the major themes of duality ala how the metropolitan racists become oppressed naturalists and how the explosive and fast-paced elementals become crumbling burnouts.
Hey, Spice. I would love more videos like this. Longer lore pieces are always fun, just don't worry too much about getting them all out weekly. And 100% this isn't too long. This is a great length.
3.14 Dragon Aye I’m going to be more relaxed with my upload schedule if they’re gonna be this length in the future. The next one will hopefully be out on Friday though!
Was listening to this video in my car on the way home and heard Crosshairs and lost my mind. Such a good track. Also the video is incredible. Thank you. Well done. Great job!
Thanks for putting in the time to make this video! Goblins have always been one of my favorite creature types, and this video helped me to understand them better.
Massive video, well done. I started playing around when you were 1 and a half and stopped when you were around 6 but now I kinda want to start playing again.
This video needs a part two. I don't know if there is anything left to cover, but 33 minutes of godless Goblin analysis are way too short. I need more of this in my life.
Just discovered your channel and was so dissapointed to see only 6 videos. I hope you keep up with that upload rate, the content quality is through the roof, good job!.
Truly amazing and entertaining. Thank you for making videos for those of us that care about more than card value and which deck will beat the rest. I love the Magic Stories and I can't wait for the next one. I can't wait for novels again!
Omg this whole video is AWESOME. So much info packed into so little space while also staying spicy. I have a feeling you opened up a can or worms with doing this and you'll have requests to do other videos in this vain. It's be awesome if you did goblins rivals, the elves. That is if you're willing to go nuts
I have a feeling this may be a series hahaha. Elves, Vampires and Zombies have been my top three requested tribes and I'm sure I'll get to each of them at some point.
Fantastic video, although I feel not discussing the class concious that the Fioran goblins seemed to have developed was missed lmao. Super excited to see where you go from here
Are all British magic players funny and use quick edits? You and PK are similar but you stand out on your own with you light humour and fun videos, keep it up!
PK certainly was a big inspiration for me to get into Magic TH-cam just because he was the sole British voice I found on this platform. I'm very flattered by the comparison and I'm very glad my voice is still a unique and enjoyable one!
Been watching your channel for a little while. The research and editing that must have gone into this video blows me away. Also super entertaining, easy subscribe!
I've been watching mtg content on youtube for a while and it's rare to see such a hilarious charismatic and smart channel with wonderful videos such as this one... Highly recommended for my friends and people who want to get into mtg lore (I LOVE the lore and plot!) Continuously hope you'll do more content and lore and even plot reviews!
I gotta say I dont upvote videos often but I had to drop one because theres obviously alot of effort gone into it and youre hilarious! Look forward to seeing more :)
It’s so fun to see the evolution of spice. Remember when we thought a 33 minute video was long? Also, I’d love for an update to this video - especially since major stuff happened with Slobad and Squee in MOM
Just discovered your channel and watched every video. I'm new to MTG started late December and what little lore i could find from looking at the cards in guilds and Allegiance of Ravnica was pretty neat. I'm glad i found your channel where you tell lore in a fun way. Keep up the good work cant wait to see more.
I love this channel! It deserves a lot more views and subs! It's a mix between a less serious (and pretentious) Rhystic Studies and the Aether Hub. Also kinda reminds me of what the Magic Show used to do. Am I right in assuming those were the inspirations?
Ruben Mon Sam and The Magic Show were channels I used to watch a whole bunch (Sam I still very much do, and I really love his delivery and tone) but my style is a lot more tied to things like what Brian David Gilbert has been doing with Polygon like the Unravelled series. In terms of MTG specific comedy, I really admired a lot of the Walking the Planes series as well as a lot of the off the cuff stuff that the LRR crew put out!
You're videos have become my absolute favorite go-to lore and flavor content for MTG. My top choice to use whilst introducing my friends to the backstory of Magic.
Hey StandUpPoet! Just wanted you to know I have played magic maybe twice, don't remember anything about it, own no cards or other mtg games and do not plan to and yet somehow I've stumbled onto this channel and decided to start from the beginning in 2023 and watch everything in order as the sole basis of my understanding of what a this thing is! See you again in several dozen videos! Thanks for making them!
As someone who hasnt played MtG in a few year, (only have my EDH decks around), this content got me excited and fascinated with the setting. Its nice to have someone breakdown the settings and, more importantly, the tibes of these settings. Will definitely be checking out more of your videos, tysm for making this!
This channel and this video needs more atention, we are facing the "creme brulee" of content creation ladies and gentleman Imsorryifmyenglishisnotsogood,forgivemeifimessedup:(
I've been playing Magic for years and enjoy the lore but have never been to into it; I can honestly say that this video has made me appreciate the lore (and not just the flavor) more than all other Magic media combined. The Magic story is really only exceptional when you tie it back to how the story is told through an amazing card game, and you strike exactly the right balance of unpacking the story itself and explaining how the story is told through the cards/mechanics. Your tone is also perfect; acknowledging the ridiculousness of the story (this isn't Game of Thrones-level intricate high fantasy) while still showing your deep appreciation for it. Once you develop a bit more of a following, try setting up a Patreon to facilitate a steady video output; I would be a day-one Patron. Seriously, keep it up.
This is good content. Great writing, jokes, visuals, it's all great. I think a jump in audio quality is the only piece missing from really pushing your stuff over the edge. Good stuff
Aye, audio is something I've been struggling with but I'm getting help with that from some of my creator pals! Hopefully my next video will be a step up, and then the one after that :) Thanks for the feedback!
5:07 So what you're saying is that Goblins are a metaphor for the evils of capitalism and that we must destroy them. I think I read that in The Communist Manifesto.
You’re an extremely talented writer and comedian. Your timing is just beautiful and your nuances are perfect. This is my new favorite MTG content channel.
Thank you so much. It's always a worry when you put something up that's full of intentional comedy that people just won't dig it so I'm super glad you're enjoying my stuff!
This was a great and highly informative video! I would love similar videos for each iconic and characteristic race, but I understand how time-consuming that would be.
As someone who has played mono red goblins in magic for nearly 5 years now and has 3 other mono red decks I can say this has been the best video I've seen you make. My other magic friends love it too!
Watching some of these videos while level grinding, finally glad to see that Mill v Discard has finally come out and that is no longer driving you mad.
i dont know what a mtg or any of this is. i dont know why this was recommended to me. but fuck it's the most interesting thing i've watched this year, for what that statement is worth.
I love how informative your videos are, and they're really fun to watch/listen to. One thing though: the "o" in "minotaur" isn't a short "i" sound, it's an unaccented syllable, so it makes the schwa sound, or "uh"
Even if I didn't play a mono red goblin deck, this is still one of my new top favorite MtG related videos, BUT I DO! AND THIS VIDEO IS MAGNIFICENT! Seriously, thank you for this. The dedication to detail in this is just amazing. Above and beyond effort.
Thank you so much, this has always been something that was bugging me a lot, and you answer so many of my questions on goblins... this was wonderful ! almost a piece of art.
Shadowmoor's Hobgoblins are one of my favorite tribes or groups in all of Magic the Gathering. Hard workers and respectable, yet quick to turn to violence if their borders are crossed. Wait, are hobgoblins Russian goblins?
found your channel by the "entire history in 10 minutes" video. love your style of videos. plus, was pleasantly surprised by the use of Kirby by Aesop Rock near the end of the video. Happy to have subscribed today.
You started with the goblin tribe. Now you only have left the merfolk, elves, kithkin, elementals, fairy, humans, angels, demons, shapeshifter, eldrazi, kor, vampire, azra, homonculus, cat people, dragons, bird people, horrors.... Have fun
@@howsjames1 lol you sound like you need a hug. We're commenting we're not writing a thesis. You knew what I meant right... I almost guarantee there's other bird people in MTG. God forbid you ask an honest question you'll have some pussy 14 year old being an asshole because he's hiding behind anonymity.

also Tarkir goblins genders have different colored fur. White=male, Red=female.
Watching this video is like watching a man's decent into madness and becoming a goblin himself.
By the end of producing this I had three nights of consecutive goblin heavy dreams
Kinky
So they are the Ojamas of MTG then
Delver of explosions
The man is obviously an albino one of those sexy goblins... yeah, the stand up poet is a sexy goblin, I said it.
Daretti is my favorite Goblin. He overcame discrimination, a physical disability, and turned into a badass in Conspiracy: Take the Crown.
weirdproq1 ok I'm a bit late but take the crown has a double meaning you could be giving daretti the crown for his accomplishments or actually naming the set

Please cover slivers, their story and the differences between them.
I fudging love slivers!!!!!!!!!
Theres literally so much bullshit about their lore that even loremasters of mtg still argue about whats canon and what isnt
This was a great and highly informative video! I would love similar videos for each iconic and characteristic race, but I understand how time-consuming that would be.
"The Boros banner stands tall even if its bearer doesn't."
Wow this was amazing! Thanks for putting in so much effort homie, keep it up
I need a Video for every big tribe! i need it!! Pls do Vampire, Merfolk and Dragons.
Vampire, definitely. Merfolk, also good. But do you really want to murder the man with that third choice there?
As someone who has played mono red goblins in magic for nearly 5 years now and has 3 other mono red decks I can say this has been the best video I've seen you make. My other magic friends love it too!
This was pretty neat
Watching some of these videos while level grinding, finally glad to see that Mill v Discard has finally come out and that is no longer driving you mad.
i dont know what a mtg or any of this is. i dont know why this was recommended to me. but fuck it's the most interesting thing i've watched this year, for what that statement is worth.
Wow! What a compliment, thank you!
I love how informative your videos are, and they're really fun to watch/listen to. One thing though: the "o" in "minotaur" isn't a short "i" sound, it's an unaccented syllable, so it makes the schwa sound, or "uh"
If you want to go down the rabbit hole again, do a history of vampires.
Innistrad and Zendikar are incredibly unique.
Even if I didn't play a mono red goblin deck, this is still one of my new top favorite MtG related videos, BUT I DO! AND THIS VIDEO IS MAGNIFICENT!
Seriously, thank you for this. The dedication to detail in this is just amazing. Above and beyond effort.
That beat @6:08 I see you.
Brockhampton sample.
Thank you so much, this has always been something that was bugging me a lot, and you answer so many of my questions on goblins... this was wonderful ! almost a piece of art.
Shadowmoor's Hobgoblins are one of my favorite tribes or groups in all of Magic the Gathering. Hard workers and respectable, yet quick to turn to violence if their borders are crossed.
Wait, are hobgoblins Russian goblins?
This is a stupendous masterpiece. Thank you so much for your months of hard work!!
How about your next video is just a 2 hour reading of every single goblin card that has ever been printed
I’ll do something that self destructive for a 1K subscriber special if I get that far hahaha

Great Putting on the Ritz cover. Video was overall hilarious and informative and I hope you make more content like this in the future.
Boy Memnarch would have been in for a rude awakening after the mending
6:05 The QUEER instrumental
22:15 The Crosshairs instrumental
both great songs
After seeing this video, goblin slayers spark ignited
"There are EVEN MORE GOBBBBBLIIIINSSSSS!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!"
*Goblin Murdering rage increases*
This is a wonderful combination of insight and comedy. I'm falling in love with your channel!
Jesus.. I watch it all.. I don't even like Goblins.
Very entertaining as always my friend!
Connar Banks Your support means the world to the goblins in my head
found your channel by the "entire history in 10 minutes" video. love your style of videos. plus, was pleasantly surprised by the use of Kirby by Aesop Rock near the end of the video. Happy to have subscribed today.
Nothing adds subscribers better then a blatant threat
this video essay is very well done and entertaining to watch. You have earned another subscribble
Ozgarthefighter GOTTA GET ME THEM BIG SCROBBLES (Thank you!)
Goblin Slayer must be very proud of you
I still really need that Ethical Differences between Mill and Discard video. I can't wait for more content!
You started with the goblin tribe. Now you only have left the merfolk, elves, kithkin, elementals, fairy, humans, angels, demons, shapeshifter, eldrazi, kor, vampire, azra, homonculus, cat people, dragons, bird people, horrors....
Have fun
Don't forget the Beebles!
By " bird people " you mean avens? Or were there other bird people?
@@kairussell7372 By 'avens' do you mean 'Avens'? Or is there some other race of bird people who don't use proper grammar that I don't know about?
@@howsjames1 lol you sound like you need a hug. We're commenting we're not writing a thesis. You knew what I meant right... I almost guarantee there's other bird people in MTG. God forbid you ask an honest question you'll have some pussy 14 year old being an asshole because he's hiding behind anonymity.
@@howsjames1 comments like that are considered a dick move in bird culture
Top tier video essay, my man. Thoroughly entertaining.
Yay, it succeeded in doing what I intended of it :D Thanks so much for such a nice comment.
