Hear hear! I have been utterly fixated on Angels since I was a teenager, for one singular reason: THEY'RE ALL WOMEN, AND THEY'RE ALL FREAKING GORGEOUS!!! Can't imagine a better creature type in the game. Sexy AND powerful? Where do I sign up??
@@jacob4920 I agree but male angels are not behind by any strech, New capena's Angel of suffering is mad cool card. I remember when he used to enable my unholy invocation of an angelic army via haunting voyage xD. Man I just love the archetype
@@celeridad6972 Perhaps I'd embrace the gender-swap more if Demons got the same treatment. I want to see some sexy succubi on some of my magic cards, before my hetero-ass embraces male Angels! lol
Great video! MTG angels are one of the most inspiring things for me. Always loved them, for all this years. Small correction. You said that Ravnica angels cannot hear prayers - which is not 100% true. Feather herself said (in one of the first Ravnica books) that when you say angel's name - she will hear you even across the whole plane.
Angels are my favorite creature type, something about them just really appeals to my inner Timmy. My favorite is definitely Giada from streets of new capenna though, she's so cute and I love how she just is like a normal girl who looks like she works at a bank or something compared to all the other badass aloof angel designs we usually get. I have played a jank angel tribal deck based around her in standard for months now and it's so fun.
I really enjoyed the content! 5 minutes in, I expected it to be almost over... Great feeling when I saw there.was over half an hour remaining 😊 And at this quality, your channel will definitely be getting growing. It’s always fun to find a good channel before it gets big 😁
Awesome video like always! I remember when I started playing MTG (Onslaught block - 8th Edition - Mirrodin block) my WG Tooth and Nail deck with large angels like Akroma. I was really proud of that deck I invented (I didn't know back then that it was awfully slow for serious games).
This brings back memories... The first rare card I got from a booster pack was the iridescent angel (4/4 flier with protection against all colors) Are you planning to do something halloween themed next week? I'd guess something with werewolves or ghosts.
I was hoping for angels after A Study in Fire, so I was really hyped when you teased this earlier! This is a really, really awesome video! Angels are my favorite creatures in Magic, so I'll watch this several times to ingest all the information. I'm looking forward to seeing what Wizards does with angels in Kaldheim. Valkyries seem like the obvious route. I feel like they've made angels between the planes different and similar enough, but it'd be interesting to see them push the envelope a little bit. At least something along the lines of halos blinding the Zendikari angels (aesthetically and lorewise). Watching this video really makes me want to make an angel EDH deck, so I guess I'm off to spend a couple of hours on Scryfall :) Thanks for putting in the effort to create these videos! They always brighten up my day :)
Thank you so much! Angels are very interesting and super fun to play. I could definitely see valkyrie make an appearance in Kaldheim, especially since the coldsnap/ice age has already given us an angel valkyrie. I'm happy to have given you some inspiration, good luck with the deck building!
Good stuff, but as far as I know, the angels of Zendikar wear their halos in front of their eyes as penance for lack of effort against the Eldrazi, not as a product of eldrasi powers
The angels see it as thier penance for their inability to stop the Eldrazi, but from "The Defiance of Angels" Beyer tells us the halo was forcefully lowered by the Eldrazi to act as a "leash" and preventing them to aid the mortals. The archangels don't have their halos lowered because they were strong enough to resist the Eldrazi. Given this, I don't believe it is self-imposed.
Well just found you today on TH-cam & this is my third straight video of yours I've watched so far! Love videos that are 20 minutes or longer. I know it's alot of work for you but it shows in the quality of all your video's. Definitely the best Lore channel I've watched on TH-cam hands down.
I love this channel, best MTG lore channel in my books. Having said that, is there no love for Selenia, Dark Angel? I think that tragic love story with Crovax is amazing.
Really enjoyed this one. I do have one quick note though. The Boros angels could hear prayers (Feather said as much to Agrus Kos) and Razia herself was worshiped by some, but the angels themselves never really had a religion for the mortals, like you said.
its interesting in the bible angels are not just in human form and also are not dipicted as female But male since female is a counter part to the male creation. its interesting
The Lorebrarians I always do! All of your videos really show how much work you put into them and I’m excited whenever I see one in my subscription feed
@@TheLorebrarians you know what's crazy. I just built a black and white angel deck and didn't even notice she was the wayward sister. Thank you! I play avacyn, both versions of Gisela and aurelia in my Naya deck.
@@TheLorebrarians you may be closer than I initially thought! Much of Central Europe actually uses the hard G as opposed to the Jh sound, so if we're taking into account the inspirational origins of many of these creatures, you nailed that part :P keep doing you!
I don’t play magic myself, way too expensive, but I love the lore of all the planes and now that DND is getting sourcebooks I’m hyped for when Innistrad comes to 5e
It technically already happened. There was a pdf about how to adapt Curse of Strahd to Innistrad. I think it dropped around the same time as Eldritch Moon, a few years ago

The other Innistrad angel sister is Liesa. Her card came out in Commander Legends.
Great video btw!!
Yep, she was spoiled after the video was made. Thanks!
Angels are by far my favorite creatures in Magic
Same
Slivers are my favourite but then again I’m not a good person.

Hey this was my suggestion some weeks ago! Really amazing video, it was super well researched mate!
I'm always listening to suggestions in the comments 😉 thank you, I'm glad you like it! It was quite an undertaking of research
A Study in Brimstone: Demons and Devils
Metal.
And imps
a study in profane: demons and devils

They always forget the Imps smh

Small correction. You said that Ravnica angels cannot hear prayers - which is not 100% true. Feather herself said (in one of the first Ravnica books) that when you say angel's name - she will hear you even across the whole plane.
Yep, you're right. And angels are probably my favorite creatures behind dragons!

Thanks so much for the encouraging words! Haha yes, this one had a lot of info that needed a longer runtime, very happy you enjoyed the video
I love seeing just how expansive Magic lore is. Keep it up!
Thank you so much for this video. I cannot wait for the other creature videos
great video continue the great work
Much appreciated, I'll keep trying to provide content you all enjoy

Thank you, sounds like a really fun deck for some casual spellslinging!
I remember that deck! (The base deck that you were building onto was called Tooth and Nail, right?) That came out in my first few years of playing XD
This brings back memories... The first rare card I got from a booster pack was the iridescent angel (4/4 flier with protection against all colors)
Are you planning to do something halloween themed next week? I'd guess something with werewolves or ghosts.
That is a good question and a great suggestion! I had plans for a different video but might save it for later and fit in a Halloween episode 👻
Take your popcorn, get comfortable and let’s dive in !
Haha yes, this was the longest video on the channel yet!

Once again an absolute masterwork! Thank you
Glad you liked it!
People have often asked me why my favorite Angel is Atraxa. All I can tell them is that it's because she's just so freaking ATRAXIVE!! lol

Thank you for the support and welcome to the channel!
You might have to remake this with kladheim out now its full of angels!
I know! I think I may have to update several videos in the coming years
I love this channel, best MTG lore channel in my books. Having said that, is there no love for Selenia, Dark Angel? I think that tragic love story with Crovax is amazing.
Fun Fact, Leisa from Commander Legends is the Fourth, Wayward sister from Innistrad.
Yep! Unfortunately I just missed her as I uploaded it before Legends dropped
@@TheLorebrarians Loved the vid. I've had an Angel deck since before Urza's. It's my fav deck.
Man, I love angels, Innistrad lore is my favorite one of all MTG
Then get ready for the next few weeks, innistrad lore will be covered in depth!
Chek out the lore of serra's realm
Angels are my favorite archetype. I'd be lying if i said I haven't tried to collect these cards like they're actual Pokémon.
No crypt angel :( ....great vid
Really enjoyed this one.
I do have one quick note though. The Boros angels could hear prayers (Feather said as much to Agrus Kos) and Razia herself was worshiped by some, but the angels themselves never really had a religion for the mortals, like you said.
That's a great point, thanks for bringing it up
this series of TH-cam videos is great, showing how the cards relate to the stories and well narrated
Shame the video came out 2 years ago before New Capenna came out
seeing as though it is all about angels trapped and gangster demons
its interesting in the bible angels are not just in human form and also are not dipicted as female But male since female is a counter part to the male creation. its interesting
My first handbuilt modern deck was mono-white angel human. I spent years building and tweaking it. To this day I hold it in immense pride.
Impressive, if you want an even tougher challenge try building a mono-white angel human commander deck
I can't believe you had to wait a year for someone to ask you to post it. Go on, Chief. Show us what you've got.
My green white angle commander deck is my baby ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Akroma?
This video was insanely well made and interesting
So glad you enjoyed it!
The Lorebrarians I always do! All of your videos really show how much work you put into them and I’m excited whenever I see one in my subscription feed
And the most bs Angels hail from Kaldheim.
It seems that angel have a tendency towards red mana after white, i wonder why tho
Avacyn, gisella and aurelia are my favorite cards in the whole game.
Same, I'm glad they finally printed Liesa to round out the angelic host
@@TheLorebrarians you know what's crazy. I just built a black and white angel deck and didn't even notice she was the wayward sister. Thank you! I play avacyn, both versions of Gisela and aurelia in my Naya deck.
This is such a well made video. This deserves way more views.
Thank you, so glad you like it. Hopefully more eyes get to the channel in the future
Big fan of your work! I think you may have pronounced Gisella wrong though
Appreciate it! If it's wrong I'll probably keep saying it wrong lol. Just sounds right in my head but thanks for the heads up
@@TheLorebrarians you may be closer than I initially thought! Much of Central Europe actually uses the hard G as opposed to the Jh sound, so if we're taking into account the inspirational origins of many of these creatures, you nailed that part :P keep doing you!
nice video :)
Can you do one for hydras? Their my favorite creature type :D

Great video! I love playing angels in MTG. Very well researched content and presented thoughtfully, definitely subscribing!
Angels certainly are fun to play! Thank you and thanks for the support
Really love this lore thanks so much for your knowledge of this MTG story. Keep staying Pawzitive & Safe Bro
So happy you enjoyed it, and same to you!
I've never been told what the A.R STOOD for so I looked it up. So it's the inception of the brothers war correct?
The Argivian Reckoning dating system begins with the birth of Urza(0 AR). So the end of the brothers war and activation of the sylex occurs in 64 AR
Great thank you for explaining it to me
Where does the artwork for all the backgrounds come from?
Many are from artofmtg.com or from the illustrators websites/uploads.
Awesome video thanks
You bet, glad you liked it!
@@TheLorebrarians definitely thanks ☺️
Incredible job!!!
Great work!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
