"since it became narratively important" is a brilliant quote
Mtg lore in a nutshell lol
"It's never been narratively important since now"
"Since it's narratively important"
Yup. Definitely made by LRR alright.
Or convenience
"Do Jace and Vraska make out?"
"Does Ral watch?"
So that's THE Contentious Plan?!?!
Dont read if you dont want spoilers:
Both those things happen.
Of course he watches! It's for science!
Otherwise, how will the fanfics get made?
Train Diskenth He watches then makes out with his own boyfriend lol
*Sorin is making out with Nahiri*
“Not all deaths are depicted on cards”
RIP Dack Fayden, they took you for granted
No one:
Emrakul: SAC UR BOARD LOL
A+ LRR, A+
And the bunched up yarn is underneath that one to look like Emrakul’s tentacles lol. 🐙
Is it funny that they actually made a Emrakul that sacs your opponent's board
Vraska wants Niv to be the new guildpact so Jace has more time to make out
This person, see, you get it. You cracked the code.
Shenanigans! No way would Graham be up and functional by 10AM
Remember: Friday Nights Graham is fictional.
@@trident042 even then he still wouldn't be since because in the 2 headed giant vid he always woke up super late and was established
I would not call that functional ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@trident042 that's what they're referring to. Graham's habit of sleeping in late is a recurring trait in the series. Actual real Graham has no issue being up early
You are all forgetting the time wasted in all that work in the wall, they clearly are up since the day before! Or do you plebs work out your fictional fantasies without morning coffee?
Blasphemous.
This is unrealistic, Graham would never be awake at 10 am, let alone in the office.
get back in your cave nikao i need that ut robe
@@NebulousSpacePotato Please spare me, I have like 20 kids, go bully Pyyr, he doesn't even pay Alimony.
"Did you two just come in here to have an argument?"
Well to be fair, they came in because they *were* having an argument.
Sorin and nahari in a nutshell
Why this wasn't called Lore of the Spark we'll never know.
2:14 what a typically sensible thing for Adam to say!
Paul's intro card had me do a double-take. That was brilliant, applauds to whoever came up with that.
I absolutely love the use of resistor color coding on Paul’s card
I love how none of them are aware of the War of the Spark novel by Greg Weisman
The Lore Keeper did say she was reading it.
@@TheAlmightyPillock right, point of clarification, Graham and Missie haven't heard of it
Using Nelson to punch out the fourth wall this time I guess LRR. Good choice in my opinion, considering these are the only times we really see Nelson at YJ.
Why wasn't this called 'Lore of the Spark'?
Maybe they prefer alliteration over puns this time.
@@PowerArmorV113 good point
SpartanXIII technically rhyming, but yeah
this is like that whole cinco de drinko thing
Part of me was screaming “Just kiss already!” when Graham and Missy were arguing close to each other, but I’m pretty sure Kathleen wouldn’t like that.
why wouldn't she?
@@olafboer3435her and Graham have been together for like 20 years.
@@benson55545 ahaaa thanks
Dak didn't get a card as a walker or even one mentioning his death. And that makes me mad and sad.
Overall I thought the book was poorly written, but the section detailing Dack's death? It was good, but sad to read.
@@VitusAvitus Well that's good at least.
Just wanted to say I appreciate the resistor bands on Paul's card in the intro.
Cameron's intro card text is frequently my favorite part of Friday Nights!
Give that the convo's taking place behind the crapper, that constant drip is worrisome.
The pictures on the wall perfectly represent the struggles of when the office printer runs out of colored ink
Adam Savidan- Human Fisherman: is carrying an axe.
Do you not fish with an axe? Pfft, amateur. 😛
How else would one fish?
How else would you fell a big fish?
Axe to the trunk!
(works better in spanish)
I have a 6/6 fish in my seamonster deck. You need an axe
I’ll spoil who dies
But only down there
Click at your own peril
They’re not actually surprising
Gideon, Domri, Dack and like 40 unnamed walkers.
More like a few hundred.
oh no not all those UNNAMED planeswalkers how sad
Squiggy yes how sad
That door in yj has been there and acknowledged since ”its magic” commander hustle. Kathleen was hiding in it when she tried to get a booster box and break the spend limit rule.
Paul, this is why you get /other/ people to test your inventions!
Hooray, the return of Missie! It's the cherry on the top of the "hooray, new Friday Nights!" sundae.
I love that mad scientist paul is back with a vengeance
O would you look at that. It’s 10 AM, I have to go to bed.
Real smooth mate, real smooth
yo, the "cards" for the intro this time a re actually super well done effect wise, misse working as a guaranteed grab the best card in a pack you see if there are two cards you want is insane, and if any more of them are pulled you can get extra copies of bomb rares, in a draft
well, graham predicted wubrg niv mizzet.
Having used the Yellowjacket bathroom many times, this depiction is accurate
James entering, seeing the situation and failing to sneak off at 0:37 is so good.
I love that Paul was wearing the truck stop shirt from that one road trip to the Grand Prix video
Honestly, I figured that Mat'Selesnya would have made for a proper living Guildpact. She's practically Ravnica's World Soul already!
Ye, the issue is that Niv is a hugely popular character and is essentially the mascot of Ravnica, at least to a lot of players. I think that's why they ultimately went with him in lore.
The problem is that Mat'Selesnya is already a integral part of the guildpact (basically, it's the battery that makes it work), so to it be both it and its energy font would be weird
I love this. please make more ;3;
“Rumor has it her powers allow her to know all the Magic story lines, even P3K!”
*ded*
7:18 the other end of the yarn is placed on Rakdos lol
Love this! You all are the best!
Obviously the two planeswalkers who will make out are Saheeli and Huatli
And here I thought it be nahari and sorin making out jk
I started yesterday and i already love it
That intro sure is peculiar to watch again considering Karlov Manor just came out.
Aurora Walker is the perfect name for a MtG Vorthos Queen.
We need the intro cards as part of the notes for each Friday Nights episodes.
It physically hurts a part of me knowing they didn't name this episode Lore of the Spark.
Endgame of the Spark
Whatever it takes
There's so much sexual tension between Sorin and Nahiri.
Great to see another episode.
Does The Living Guildpact count as a deskjob? I can't imagine there being *that* much paperwork since it is literally being the embodiment of a contract
I legit watched this at 10am while I was getting ready for bed...
I'm honestly kinda sad at the Closer. I was hoping to go back to Graham and Missy with "Well, this just doesn't make sense." "I know! There's no way that ALL conformable evidence points to NIV MIZZET and Nicol Bolas being the ones making out!" (Cut to black)
And the pre release is only 2 days away
Years later and I just realized the bunched up yarn on the conspiracy board is supposed to represent Emrakul’s tentacles. 🐙 I miss Friday Nights!
My greatest ambition in life is to be narratives important
No joke I'd run this episode's Adam Savidan as-printed. It's probably rules-viable too, which is the horrifying thing.
Glad that Mad Scientist Paul is bleeding over more into Friday Nights
Adam's card is actually quite good and could work in the current rules with a few minor alterations. I even have a deck that would play him.
Gang, if anyone is making out its Gideon and Rakdos. They are the perfect power couple.
Making out? Hell, they skip straight ahead to Gideon riding Rakdos.
@@fafdsfr dang it, take my like, you magnificent bastard.
Nobody:
Emurakul: Wipe ur board lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
At first I thought they trying to unravel the lore but it was a Shipping Chart™... That's even better
Man, I appreciate the resistor color code joke on Paul's card; haven't had to solder one of those in a while... though I would have thought he's go for the more ubiquitous Brown Black Red Gold of a 1k 5% tolerance resistor.
“All the important deaths are shown on cards”
Press F for Dack Fayden
Wow Pauls glasses are really strong. You can see the distortion at 3:00
Who was playing Sybil? I feel like she was a cameo i should have known but i dont recognise her.
According to the credits, Aurora Walker. No idea who she is and google doesn't really help. Maybe just a friend they know from Yellowjacket?
She appeared in Archfrenemies and is one of the people in Kathleen's MTG playgroup.
There are facts, narrative speculation and smutty fanfiction X) Choose yours
Also, EVERY bifurcated structure is an apparent Bolas' horns reference.
The colored bands at the top of Paul's card are a nice touch.
I love grahams shirt! 😍
Similar story, I'm located in California, and I wanted to go to GP Richmond. So I invited my friend and we were in the car on our way there when I decided to double check and it turned out that it was in Richmond, Virginia
Niv for wubrg? Easy turn 5 play.
I lost a game of draft against a dude who played Nicol Bolas on 5 with only basic lands.
AAAAH, I was actually watching this at 10 am. do i have to go to bed now?
OMG Paul waking up is the best thing ever
After watching this... way more times than I'd like to admit, Paul's glasses when speaking to Ben bother me with how the magnification puts the wall in the middle of his face.
No one:
Emrakul: sac your whole board lol.
7:10 Somebody is making out? Yeah I thought it was going to be at 2:50
Wow Adam reading a body in pain 👀🤙🏼 my mans in some thiccc philosophy.
James did exactly what my friends do when I say the word "lore"
5:01. I don’t know about cannon, but I am sure you can find some answers on devianart.
Damn, Missie is a straight up fire card in a draft format.
Spitballing here, but "Lore of the Spark" would have been a much greater title for this in my opinion
Im confused...how does Bontu take away all the planeswalker sparks that nicol bolas ingested, including his own?...Thats where im confused...:p
“Emrakul went into the moon by choice and will come out when she is ready.”
Confirmed The Wanderer is not Emrakul! My Elspeth-altered theory stands!
I LOOOOVVVVEEEEE IIIIITTTT
"Well SOMEONE's making out."
Mfw its Ral and Tomik
So
Uh
Jace and Vraska do infact make out.
And Ral more so glares at them before Tomik elbows him.
Ok internet, were can I get Graham's Eldrazi tee shirt? I need a couple.
Love Adam so much!
where can i get that ulamog shirt that graham wears?
Ashiok can't die, not because they're incorporeal but because of one thing: trans rights. I rest my case
Yes
yes.
yes
I have a recommendation for those trying to answer the question Graham and Missie are asking: read the freaking book
Also, don't trust MaRo for flavor stuff
No one:
Emrakul: Sac your board lol
Havent even watched this and this is my favorite part
The makeout pair is _clearly_ Ral and Tomik. It's like y'all never read the books.
Why wasn't this episode called "Lore of the Spark"?
Confused by the last line of Adam's card in the intro. Put him onto the battlefield from where? Where can you use that ability?
And how are you not doing Planeswalkers for War? :P
So we don't get eaten by Bolas.
Because a location is not stated, the ability implicitly only works while Adam is on the battlefield.
@@fafdsfr Well... yeah... the text is so egregious in its irrelevance, it feels out of place compared to the rest of the joke.
5:27 rip 4th wall
Gotta ask: did Adam borrow Cameron's book or is that his own? Or is it a really complex metaphor for this episode I just don't get which would be far more bleh than knowing that's what Adam reads?
The Wanderer is Emrakul, calling it now
@Hammdog Porkington: Mark Rosewater has said that The Wanderer is The Player. The Wanderer ISN'T EMRAKUL!!!!!!!!!!
Does this mean Missie's character is too focused on cards to recognize people she's played against in the past? or that she didn't feel it was important enough to mention to Graham's character?
0:54 I have to...
*Looks around*
Go to
*Looks around*
Bed!
Seem familiar?
I hope that they bring back a half zombie urza
Little did we know?
Not 👏 All 👏 Bifurcated 👏 Structures 👏 are 👏 Bolas 👏 Horns 👏
or are they???
