Im almost afraid to ask if there will be any more of these made. Having spent so much of my childhood with these cards and these characters, it's really eye opening to hear the story.

[@Ottawa3453]

I don't think there's anything out there as comprehensive and detailed as this with screen shots of the cards relevant to the lore.

[@TheMagicShow]

+Ottawa3453 That's the goal. If I'm gonna do this, by God I want to be the best at it :) This little ditty took about 20+ hours of research. Most do, and some take longer.

[@Ottawa3453]

+The Magic Show Thanks for doing it Evan - much appreciated :)

[@Informant777]

+The Magic Show My reply is very similar to Ottawa3453

+Ottawa3453
The manasource's lore videos are essentially this but a little shorter.

[@mtggeeksgaming5064]

+The Magic Show Is part 2 on its way anytime soon?

[@NezumiDark]

I started playing magic around the time of Urza Block and many of these cards have nostalgic value for me. That's why it feels completely mindblowing to me to see all of these cards in the context of lore! I've played with these cards for years and years and never knew how much thought were put into them and how much of the story they really told! Great work man =)

[@kuroshinko427]

This is honestly the best MtG show in all of youtube!

[@DotGamesLive]

This block and weatherlight/rath block was my favorite story in magic back in the day, and still holds true as my favorite currently.

[@martinkaca]

Can't wait until we catch up to Invasion and Onslaught block.

[@Tzunamii777]

+Martin Kaca , Took the words outta my mouf!

[@E3M0T]

Great to hear this history prior to when I started playing MTG. I started during Tempest; still my favorite set.

[@newnamesameperson397]

I like this format you got going on, telling the story then the impact of the set

[@NeverQuit92]

As someone who is not too familiar with older cards, when Rofellos came on @ 4:28 I was immediately baffled at how they could print something so blatantly broken

[@stephenshawley1768]

I felt like I've waited forever for this!! Thank you thank you thank you

[@Kadamir]

seriously, bro: you are doing a great job with these videos. I greatly enjoy them and highly appreciate your work. Thank you.

[@Kerrai]

Great show Evan, keep it up

[@Tryo707]

This is amazing Evan, you do such thorough work. Much appreciated sir.

[@sgtpepper0spray]

Carnival of Souls still has my all-time favorite flavor text. Great video as always! Can we see Kamigawa or Ice Age next?

[@refuse2lose1985]

Great work, man!

[@gameKrang]

I absolutely love these.

[@alucardlied]

Love this serie bro keep the good work, greeting from Mexico

[@Roy_Godiksen]

Another great video Evan. :-)

[@eggplantfool]

Why you never finish this series! its so good

[@panzerfaust187]

Very nice vids!! Love it!

[@julian354]

I love all the great content, but please,PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell us when part 2 is coming.

[@dodoria19]

Amazing video, keep the quality i beg you :3

[@ariaskaggs1452]

I understand it is possible to make mistakes, but I wanted to point out, Urza didn't find the Dragon engine that is Ramos. His brother, Mishra, did. Mishra had dreamt about it and summoned it through his will plus the allure of the weak stone and for a time, Ramos was under Mishra's control.

[@MrJuma1978]

I love these shows! is there a legends or the dark?

[@liamnulty5372]

hell yeah I enjoyed it

[@graelstream2353]

please do more lores! :)

[@eXdXgXe4life]

Another home run!

[@wrywh]

Super great, although you did accidentally say Volrath before the big reveal.

[@Wilson27PT]

omg the best!

[@GeorgePooshoes]

@The Magic Show It would be nice if you could reorganize the Forgotten Lore playlist so it is actually in ascending / descending order of actual magic releases... Can you please do this.

[@theolihot]

I'm sure some people would find a way to tap Mirri ( ͡͡ ° ͜ ʖ ͡ °)

[@joelmonteiro1419]

How do Mirage and Visions fit the narrative? Does it jump from Urza's Destiny directly to Weatherlight? Storm & Rath is a seriously good fantasy book.

[@scooter9764]

6:47 is that where those yu-gi-oh characters go

[@mO3fnMon3y]

i want to know what happens next

[@KarateKidX]

For Starke, couldn't you have used Starke of Wrath? It's an actual magic card.

[@TheMagicShow]

+Sam I am Keep watching ;)

[@behemothbear]

+The Magic Show Um...do you plan to make a Part 2 for this episode? ^^;

[@Seekr237]

isn't the shadow realm basically the blind eternities.

[@DanRSL]

Just around here was where I left Magic. These stories are so amazingly stupid, and were pushed _SO_ hard as if WotC was exceedingly proud of what they had written, it made the whole thing not fun.

[@Firevine]

Fun set, but damn, did I ever get sick of that lame-ass Weatherlight crew. That said, they were still a hell of a lot more interesting than these even more lame-ass planeswalkers.
