I'm unconvinced that Ova acted entirely alone in this case. While her motive for the killings makes it seem plausible, it is just as plausible that she was manipulated into believing those things, or had her already latent beliefs intensified, or even had those thoughts directly implanted into her mind, while at the same time shrouding her mind from the other two dryads. From the first time I heard that the killers in this story were all victims of memory manipulation and mind control, I figured that House Dimir had to be involved somehow, and what better time to pull off a conspiracy like this than when Lazav is presumed dead and the guild is officially desolved. It hearkens back to the before times, when House Dimir was a silent power in Ravnica.
Following this line of thought, another hypothesis I have is that Alquist Proft was actually Lazav the whole time wearing the famous detective's face. This is why he absolves Etrata of suspicion so early on and continues to work closely with her afterwards. Masquerading as Proft also allows Lazav to evade suspicion (because no one would suspect the head detective on the case) while Ova spreads the mind altering spore toxin across Ravnica, with those affected by toxin murdering some of House Dimir's greatest rivals. Lazav is called the Mastermind for a reason after all; I can definitely see him pulling off something like this.
This is probably all just wishful thinking on my part, seeing as House Dimir is and always has been my favorite guild, and Wizards probably didn't intend for this story to have nearly the amount of depth that I'm giving it, but it's fun to speculate. I do seem to recall some mention of Lazav and Etrata planning a future coup on Ravnica back in War of the Spark's aftermath, so maybe this is the beginning of that? Here's to hoping.
Bout time the Guildless seized some degree of agency and formed a...well, an agency for investigation and intervention when the guilds and their endless conflicts preclude any and all of them from being trusted to reliably resolve matters such as this brazen assassination.
People forget that outside of the guilds' respective territories is the rest, and indeed, the vast majority of the planewide ecumenopolis that is Ravnica. They must fend for themselves as the guilds are only ever focused on their ten point struggle for supremacy. They have to constantly be asking each other what's the point of even preserving the Guildpact when it's clear every single one of them is just paying lip service to their arcane accord while covertly acting to dominate one another. I'd be keen to witness an arc that saw the Guilds forced into solidarity when the Guildless have finally had enough and revolt across the entire plane.
Krenko: "What the heck!? I didn't do anything! ...other than all the other things I did do!!"
They almost had me. Trostani being the culprit made some sense in that phyrexia is all about unity and so is selesnya so i had thought that they were trying to emmulate the oil with the pollen but no. We just like to sweep the oil thing under the rug these days.
It’s fascinating that wizards keeps pushing Kellan as a main character when he has zero (0) interesting qualities.
I absolutely agree! You read the stories and he’s basically just a wooden board that does what he’s told to. That was fine as a nod to fairy tale tropes in WoE, but BOY did it stale quickly.
His story seems to be finished with OaTJ
@@jeremyalgood7230And thank goodness for that.
Hey Sieben, It's good to have you back and see you making videos again. I hope you are well rested and took some time to relax and enjoyed your time off from making videos and got everything settled in your personal life. I hope everything is better for you now my friend.
Things are great on my end. Work and family just taking a bit more of my attention recently. Glad to be back with videos though ☺️
Starting the video now!! I avoided watching the official mtg videos because I knew you would post one with the full story!!! Thank you!!!
Well thanks for waiting on me buddy 😘
It's cool to see a continuation of tri-color combos emerging on the plane as things get bigger and more complicated as time goes on, especially as someone who really enjoyed messing with Ghired's deck when it came out.
I got to say, this story was a bit messy 😅.
Judith also committed a crime and captured a boros member but was not arrested.
Massacre girl was captured trying to kill Aurelia but later seen trying to kill the main detective.
And worst, Trostani uses polen that gives better mind control than blue mages 😂.
The way I structured the video was a little disjointed. I first followed Kaya and then Proft. But these events sort of happened in tandem. But yes in essence a lot of Ravnica Guild laws were broken and sort of left just hanging out there lol
im still trying to figure out if these planes have giant trash piles of dead phyrexians or whatever happened to all these robot corpses
Such a shame that Tolsimir died. He is one of my favorite characters of Selesnya. Also odd that Selesnya/Trostani would be the guilty person/guild. While there can be some bits that make sense, based on the story as is, said points don’t make full sense. How can 1/3 of Trostani actually keep so much from the other 2/3? How was she able to do so much on her own at all?
Maybe we will see a golgari Tolsimir? 🤞🏻
To me it makes sense as Selesnya has always felt the most oppressive and mindcontrolling like the Phyrexian just with 'kindness' instead of pure forces
The depth of this story was deeper than a puddle in the Sahara desert. My love for good stories and this game were left wanting with this iteration.
Big quotes on "devastation" of the war, seeing how we didn't see much of any of it. Ravnica is one of the least seen. After the cut content from War of the Spark, I didn't think it'd happen to the same degree. This time, the cut content was multiplied
Cutting Niv-Mizzet out of his literal job to reign in war between guilds. Aurelia was way out of line and he would've stopped her. Seems they got something against the dragon
This was my biggest issue with the story. This was Niv Mizzets first real chance to shine in his new role… and we got nothing.
@@AetherHub Niv-Mizzet hasn't shown in his new role since before WAR. He's been cut out of the story in every way despite our numerous returns to this plane. Quite frankly, as a huge Niv fan, this is unacceptable. This "RAMI" is nothing but an interference in his role. I wish Anzrag was successful
The next story arc is called the Dragonstorm Arc. They are saving him for something
Damn it. I really liked Tolsimir, such a cool and loyal guy.
Recently started watching your content. These lore and story videos are so engaging. Thank you!
Thank you for this one. Always excited to listen to The lore before I dive into the set.
Thanks for the great narrative as always.
And thank you as always!
Man, I enjoyed the hell out of this story. Thanks man! No doubt the algorithm has screwed you because "murder" is in the title, but I'll tell you right now, this summary was a delight. Thank you!
Hey I really appreciate that! And you’re probably right. Didnt think about the title lll
Awesome vid!
I expected Lazav the show up, shapeshift a mustache to twirl and be like “keikaku, it was me all along!!!!!” But this was definitely an interesting story. Im glad magic is taking a break from constant apocalyptic events and just have more low key stories.
Yea. I really miss all the small stories showing life on the new planes.
Think the Tarkir Sets were my favorite for this reason.
Not only did we get stories from every group, we also got the stories set in the perspective of how the big plot changed everything.
(My favorite being the with/without dragons stories of the faction leaders like Narset
This was actually a really well written story. Apparently there is a hidden epilogue
Hmmm I can’t wait to see that. I loved the adventure and the writing. 10 stories makes it wayyyyy better than simply 5. Still I like a grander story with Ravnica. But for what it was… it was enjoyable!
Perfect morning enjoying breakfast to your video. Can only be a good day 👍🏽
I hope you have a great day! And thanks for enjoying the content
Great video as always
Thank you 🙏
Honestly, the issue I had with this set is that knowing it's a story and knowing how murder mysteries are written kind of ruins it. I immediately had the Dimir and the Rakdos ruled out simply because that would be too obvious, and in the end they went with the most obvious answer... given the way murder mystery stories work, where the culprit is the least obvious suspect.
Or not just least obvious, its the one that makes the least amount of sense for the sake of trying to be different. Its like a 3rd graders attempt to write a murder mystery after reading their 1st sherlock holmes book lol
@@mr.joesterr5359really? I always felt like Selesnya was the most uncomfortable and oppressive guild, and they always felt like a mind controlling hive like the Phyrexians to me.
Though I always thought mtg would use them as a way to show the more 'positive' side of a hivemind-like situation.
@@natanoj16 Selesnya is about peace and love and being 'AGGRESSIVELY' vegan. Def not a hive mind either
I sometimes wonder if they write these stories in a day.
I do dig your videos no matter the quality of the story. Thanks
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting 😂😂😂
Hope you enjoy :)
I've seen punts, and then I've seen Game #2. My lawd.
How bad have the Mtg lore became.
But your videos are amazing Seiben...
Yayyyyy more lore!!!
Why did Ova try to kill Aurelia? And what was the Phyrexian note near Tesa?
Hate they killed Teysa. Sure, she'll come back as a ghost because of course she will, but still hate it.
Heres a quick theory the next version of Kellan we will see is gonna be dimir colors, aftwards a rakdos version, based around how he keeps changing one color at a time. Red/white, white/green and green/blue has allready been used so blue/Black is the next logical version
Frivulty? That ain't it, mahdewd.
Frivolity: Frih-VAH-leh-tee
I enjoyed listening to the story. Imagined it all happened in Noir style.
After this shallow mess of a story, im not excited for our new western set coming up. Wotc pretty much watched a buddy cop drama and just changed names. There is nothing clever or original in this entire story. For me the most cringe part is when Aurelia gives them 24 hours to solve the case or else.These are the things that make me miss blocks and novels. I can't wait for "This town ain't big enough for the both of us", "High Noon", and other low hanging fruit...sigh.
You KNOW that’s coming. Good or bad I’m here to bring the story in a digestible way for fans. I agree. I very much miss the old block formats :(
Is the opening music you chose unlicensed or did you lift it from Knowing Better?
It’s a free use song as authorized by its creator - loads of channels use it
lore video on voja on how he became naya colors👀
They did my boy Agrus dirty.
Alquist Proft- Ravnica's version of Sherlock Holmes.
Hooray!
Thanks buddy !!
Girlboss Dryad tbh.
Also did Judith forget what happened to the last person who tried to take over Rakdos?
I still must say that if they had a TV series tied to the game this set would have done way better. Your video made me want to buy a box!
Tessa, Opulent Oligarch
Selesnya got off way too easy
Is the name Karlov Manor a reference to the horror actor Boris Karloff?
No.
Next set, back to Kaldheim?
Although it makes sense to be WU I think Proft should’ve been colourless or 5c or at the very least not 2c. He’s meant to be neutral in guild related matters but is a ravnican WU? Sounds pretty bound to azorious to me.
What color is Kellan supposed to be? He was white first, then white/red, now blue/green.
I think it was White/Red, White/Green, and now Green/Blue. I’ll bet it’s to reflect how he just kind of goes along with what’s happening wherever he is, but it does feel weird, doesn’t it?
@@thomaspetrucka9173 Agreed. Usually when a character changes a color it is just one, with one primary one sticking around. Take Nissa. Always green, but has added blue or black at certain points. Or Ajani, always white but added red or now typically green.
The emrakul on innistrad was a better mistery
You mean the eldrazi. Emrakul is one creature
In case anyone was confused the scene with Massacre Girl and Proft chronologically comes before the scene of MG and Aurelia.
MG was in her right mind (comparatively speaking, at least) and working under contract when she went after Proft. She was pollen-controlled when she went after Aurelia.
Is Proft Jace?
Video starts at 1.50
Tessa
I really enjoyed the quality of this video and the narration provided. I didnt like the overall story, but you didn't make that.
Yo
Stereotyping my poor Rakdos lads and lasses. Rakdos is innocent…of this crime at least.
Why OF COURSE it was SELESNYA. No-one would ever imagine that factions known for the shadiest of deals would do it. Why is it that it's always the Selesnyans always want to destroy the world they want to protect? It stinks of lack of imagination to me.
And Tolsimir's end was pathetic.
Tolsimirs death was sad. He’s been such a great figure on Ravnica. And his fervent loyalty to his guild just had him die for… nothing.
@@AetherHub But isn't it very odd for the guild who was known for the best of intentions and CHARITY for the citizenry, once nearly genocided the whole city, then was the first to gather an army to secure the guild pact in the Dragon's Maze and win by any means necessary, and now THIS? I know Selsenya is cultish but this smells like bullying. I love Selesnya but man....
Same with Odric. I listened to the story the other day. The guy was such in important figure, but wasn't even half as relevant as he had been when he got vamp'd. He should've been at the wedding crashing it and instilling the fear for Avacyn in those who had forgotten it. But... it was just Sorin who suddenly felt like compassion and the gals doing all the work.
First Jurassic park now Clue...Whats next MTG is gonna make a Crossover with My Little Pony or Candyland? WTF is wrong with WOTC?
Uhhhh who’s gonna tell em… My Little Pony already had crossover with MTG 😳
@@AetherHub Ok Let me alter it. Whats next are they gonna Collab with Shadowrun? Hmmm?
@@AnthonyDaFox wouldn't that just be neon dynasty?
@@AnthonyDaFox Magic is being used to promote Hasbro properties, it seems 😮💨
@@AetherHub It didn’t stop them from the transformers commanders we got a little while ago. I wouldn’t put it past them-although it’s probably less likely now that the whole Brony thing is behind us. If that were still going strong I have no doubt Wizards would have already pounced on that.
All guildleaders have some much sparetime 😅 each controlling a guild going into the millions propably. Live must be easy for all of them with this much time on hands
Lmfao yeahhhh totally
First.
Grats!!!
5th
Terrible story
Terrible art
Terrible set
But still, thanks for the video
Of course, you’re welcome! Despite your misgivings with the story, I still hope to record it and present it for future fans of the game :)
@@AetherHub bad or not l, history still needs to be recorded, I will continue to watch your vids
What a lame ass ending. They always go easy on the females
Why are females the leads and heroes of every magic story? Whats up with that?
What's wrong with it?
@@HermitGamerTengu It's imbalanced and sends a false message of women being braver and more righteous than men.
I'm sorry, but this story is dumb.
What a stupid story. Once again another Disney style magic story where real actions never accompany real consequences.
