- Exploring the greater history and lore behind Magic: The Gathering's Greek Mythology-inspired plane. The world of Theros was introduced a 2013 block which included the original set 'Theros' as well as 'Born of the Gods', and 'Journey into Nyx' the following year. Later in 2020, the plane was revisited in Theros: Beyond Death, and finally in 2023, it recently played a part in the storyline features in March of the Machine. Today, we take a look at the history and storylines from all of these sets, and get a feel for Theros' place in the multiverse up through the most recent MTG set, (The Lord of the Ring: Tales of Middle-earth).

CORRECTION: In the original cut of this video, I made a mistake when I referenced the linguisitc origins of the name Purphoros. The segment with the mistake has been removed from the video, but for those interested, "Purphoros" is greek for "Torchbearer," which connects the god Purphoros with the legendary figure Prometheus, who in myth was said to have stolen fire from the gods in order to share it with mortal man. For this act, he was punished. Chained to a rock, Prometheus' organs are picked out by a large, predatory bird each day, only to heal by night and have the process repeat for all time.

Felt inclined to share some of the rich lore that inspired me so much when I was younger, and first getting into Magic: The Gathering! I'm interested to know other peoples thoughts on MTG and the lore therein. I know that many of us, (myself included) are feeling that MTG is going through rocky times right now, but let me know if you have any favorite stories from the game you'd like to see me share!
As always, more lore is coming down the pipeline soon from all sorts of different areas of fiction, so stay tuned!
Phyrexia and the Thran war is both of our favorites but not the lore that got us into it
@@that_dude_with_a_switch Yes that's true!
“He often strikes his favorite mortals with epiphany, while striking those who he opposes with… lightning.” idk if that was supposed to be as funny as it was, but it’s great.
Theros was also one of my favorite mtg sets and is quickly becoming my favorite dnd setting. Your video came at a great time for me as a DM so thank you! I can see the love and research you put into this video and it is beyond appreciated
Okay so, we need a video for:
Strixhaven, Ravnica, Dominaria, Amonkhet, Tarkir, Zendikar, and uh....
At least those.
You made the best lore video for running a D&D campaign on Theros.
Gotta keep it going.
Thanks for doing such a deep dive into Theros! I want to make a DnD campaign in this setting and the book launched me into a deep dive looking for a good lore video. Yours is by far the most in-depth I've found!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Love this! Theros is most certainly my favorite plane in MTG. It helped breathe light into the world of magic for me. Would love to see a return to Theros some day soon. I can't thank you enough for make this video on the lore of the plane. Can't wait to see more like it! 🤘
Thank you! Glad to hear you had fun with it!
This has been one of my favorite lore videos ever created. So much so that I'm going to watch it again because you have loaded it with so much valued information. It's thought out and well constructed.
Thank you!
Thank you! I'm glad you had so much fun with it!
Theros was my intro block into magic. I love it so much!
Theros was my first set when I first started playing almost 10 years ago. Wonderful video. Thank you!
Love these in depth lore vids. U earned this sub
Really cool video bor, underrated channel seen how much work was put into it. keep it up!
Thanks!
This video is the perfect helper guide for my DnD campaign set Post-Phyrexian invasion. Thank you so much for this lore video!
Love that I found this video just as wilds of eldraine released and I'm building a deck around the new ashiok
Nice! Wilds has been pretty cool so far. Thinking of making an Eldraine lore video soon!
I just loved this, all i knew about theros before today was what i read on the mythic odysseys of theros and what i made up for my campaign
Love magic lore and this is the first channel who's voice or writing doesn't annoy me, I hope you keep it up
thank you for the wonderful video!
didnt stop watching for a minute!
hope you make more like this
ill be sharing this in DnD group since mtg planes are technically a part of that too, this is a good video! keep making more, ill keep watching! I love this plane the most, and i wanted to include more of it's richness in campaigns in the future
21:20: So, Prometheus is responsible for bringing fire to mortals and was punished for this by having his liver eaten by birds. You're thinking Icarus, who's father, Daedalus, made him wings of wax and feathers to escape King Minos' evil grasp. Other than that minor quibble, excellent video! I hope you get more subs and views soon!
Oooh, yep, that's definitely an error on my part! Thank you for offering a correction! I'm going to make an adjustment in the video itself by removing that portion of the clip. While the edit will look a bit disjointed, it will prevent anyone from being misled. Thanks for correcting me! It's greatly appreciated!
@@everberon It's only a minor quibble - and one I think I noticed so readily because I'm currently DM-ing a DnD campaign through Ancient Greece. Props for wanting to actually correct it, though; most TH-camrs would just shrug and say "It is what it is."
@@PaxIesus I always wanna make sure the info I'm presenting is correct, so I really appreciate the heads up. Also, that sounds like a really exciting campaign idea!
@@everberon I appreciate that, and thank you! It's been a lot of fun incorporating some more obscure points of the mythology (for instance, I haven't even had Zeus or any of the main Olympians make an appearance; it's all been Nyx and Eris and Chaos thus far), and combining them with history, right around the Persian invasion.
Great job, buddy. Will be watching.
Hey friend, just wanted to let you know Ive watched and rewatched this. Trying to get a Theros campaign set up for DnD and this is doing so much in terms of giving me lore and context in a usable and easy to digest manner. Thank you for what you did here!
Great video, gives me some more insight for my Theros-esque 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons game.
Fantastic video. Theros is my favorite (remaining) plane in MTG. I also love mythology, and usually pick the gods for commanders in my decks. Although, on a mild side note. As one who has studied Greek, seeing Greek letters used for letters they aren’t simply because of visual similarities can be mildly cringe. But I cannot deny the great touch it does add to the video.
Fair enough! Glad you liked it either way
great video. you dont see effort like this on lore videos i tip my hat
Great video! I was about to do a one-shot DND campaign in Theros, and I needed some lore about the plane to create it. Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Hope the campaign goes well.
Incredibly interesting video, thanks a lot !
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Wonderful lesson. I appreciate this and thank you for the lore. This is one of my favorite planes next to Innistrad. Well done.
Mogis lives!!!!
Cheers, I’m running a Theros D&D campaign and the book does not go as in depth as your video does. Appreciate your work
Imagine being a God but not a Planeswalker.
Oof.
Id be pretty pissed too if I were Heliod.
Enjoyed your cyberpunk videos. This video is well done and should interest fans, but I refuse to have any more to do with Wizards of the Coast and their products. But that’s just me. All the best to you!
Wizards has gone down hill hard recently, I agree with you there. My take has always been that regardless of the bad decisions of the company, many of the stories from MTG stand on their own and are worth sharing. I 100% agree with your point though they've gotten pretty shifty of late. Hope to see you in the next Cyberpunk vid!
Woah. I didnt know this was the same channel that makes the only cyberpunk videos i watch 🤔
My view on Nyx is that its similar to the Omenpaths: a _part_ of the Blind Eternities at the edge of a plane, but not the Eternities itself.
I imagine most planes have something like this, it just usually manifests as atmosphere; Kaladesh is another good example here.
the good ole days
I'm actually running a D&D campaign set in theros your video alone was the most helpful thing I've come across. Would you consider doing something like this for ravnica or planeswallking?
Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed!
Excellent work, do you have plans for doing another lore video about other plains in the future?
I do have some more MTG stuff planned. I have thought the lore was a lot of fun ever since I was young and want to explore it again. If you have any suggestions for Planes or topics please feel free to let me know!
@@everberon Zendikar and Lorwyn are interesting planes to make a video.
Zendikar was on my list but Lorwyn is a great idea that I hadn't thought of! I'll write that one in!@@aydhewig
I would say that pharyika is based on asklepios- the greek god of medicine- with a mix of medusa
Good thoughts that makes sense too!
Wow where did you find the lore information after the two books? Ie the phyrexian invasion?
The phyrexian invasion is talked about as part of the storyline in Magic:The Gathering, specifically the March of the Machines expansion.
Amonkhet and Kaldheim could be next
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kruphix and Ephara are my gods 🤍
For sure, they struck me as particularly cool as well!
fun fact romans were deeply afraid of ocean travel they didnt have a large naval power
One of my favourite Planes. This was the time when Wizards was so good at taking the real myths and culture and create a very interesting version of it. I think they are failing at this nowadays.
Heliod is a dick, but so was Zeus so it works
I came because I was enraged by misuse of greek letters. Ths pllns tf theros...
Ugh. Just cant get away from form theory with mtg 😓
