Sometimes I forget that Magic is art.
Dammit TierZoo you like magic too? You keep gettting cooler. 👍
The art adds to the Magic.
We need the colors/guilds in the actual life meta now
fel293 that’s what the DnD book is for haha
Sometimes it's easy to forget, but then there are those cards that just completely blow it out of the water with how masterful the artwork is. Love your content, btw
Masterfully done, as always. Sam, you add so much value to this community.
Cheers Professor!!!! 😃
Agreed! Thank you for seeking to elevate critical thinking and analysis of what otherwise is ignored. Hats off to you sir.
couldn't agree more,prof.
Well said Prof.
community is full of talentless hacks who can't cut it working or teaching. what a crock
_Boi those 20 mins ran by quick._
DammitSinged oh man. That WAS 20 minutes haha I didn't notice until I saw this comment.
I need more of this so bad.
Too quickly.
Yeah, felt like 12
His videos remind me of how relative time feels. It's like getting into the zone with a good video game, suddenly it's past your bedtime and you never noticed the clock.
Your channel is the pinnacle of what content should be. This amount of effort that TH-cam creators should strive to have.
always good to see more insanely high effort content. time to enjoy!
Egg.
I know right? I wish he did more work more frequently, but at this high of a level of quality I am not complaining. Things worth doing are worth doing right.
What an amazing video! I can't wait to see the last 5 guilds receive the same treatment! 😁
Yeah, orzhov is going to be great this time around, I can tell!

Pretty awe-inspiring stuff
Damn, wasn't expecting to see you here of all places
I am not going to lie, this video was the thing that finally got me playing Magic.
I had always been a passive observer watching some of my older friends collect and play Magic, and was intrigued but also put off by the vast repository of cards, lore, and game knowledge they all had. I feel many new players experience this, but Magic was intimidating, and trying to breach the 30 years of history was difficult. It didn't help that I never had a solid introduction. I picked up a deck builders kit around Dragons of Tarkir to play with some others, but generally had no idea what I was doing. So, the cards were tossed months later and Magic simply faded- I didn't give it much thought besides that.
But somehow when browsing TH-cam, as I find myself doing more and more these days, your videos kept getting recommended to me. Maybe it was the fact I was beginning to get into D&D and general nerd culture overall, but I kept seeing these lore and art videos from you. Eventually, I clicked on one. I watched it, saw that it was MTG related and offhand just dismissed it. But it kept appearing in my recommended "hey finish this video" section. And so when you released this video, about "Ravnica," something I had heard floating around due to MTGA's launch and distributed among strategy game players on TH-cam and Twitch, I checked it out.
Everything, from the relaxing, presentable editing and voice, to the breakdown on the colors that represent the game, to the exploration of one of Magic's greatest planes, ignited a spark of interest in me that has led me to spend far too much money and time in the game, but still getting just the right amount of enjoyment to make it all worth it. You sir, have truly affected my life and quickly created what I imagine will be a lifelong passion.
I just wanted to say, not even knowing if you will ever see this comment months after this video's release,
Thank you.
Thats why I get so excited for ravnica sets because I can have an identity when playing cards where I cant with other sets. I can identify with a guild and act like that guild while playing where other sets I feel like im just playing a mish mash of cards.
Sam you have to be one of the greatest video essayists I’ve ever seen on the platform
I’ve only gotten into Magic about six months ago or so, and your Black Lotus video was the first proper Magic content I’ve seen on TH-cam, but suffice to say I was blown away!
You’re videos always have a crazy high amount of quality, and from this one they just seem to be getting better and better!
So I just wanted to say thank you for introducing me to the TH-cam magic community, and your reminders for why I love this game so much
Much love from South Africa, thanks once again for doing what you do, and I look forward to watching your next video, peace!
Nicholas Webster you should binge-watch the videos where he covers the different artist... Sam is absolutely outstanding.
Oh I have 😂 don’t worry
Magic has some amazingly fantastic artists working on it
Aweee ma se kind!
man, i feel kinda in awe/spoiled by the production values here and just... how satisfying this content is - no bullshit dilution, no top 10 list, no highlight clip at the start. much love to ya Rhystic.
This plane was always so special to me. I never realized I felt so strongly about the art direction in it before.
I think this one helps me appreciate the guilds I normally don't follow that much more.
This is one of those few channels where I click ‘Like’ before the play button. This is because I am sure of watching a well-made, enjoyable video on a game that I have loved for many years.
Good lord. Your videos are consistently outstanding Sam. Always an excellent watch in terms of research, quality visuals and sounds. Always brilliant. thank you for your hard work.
I haven't played Magic in a decade, but I watch every video you make because these are absolute works of art.
I watch it while I poop
This is some of the best mtg content on the internet. I find this more interesting more of the time than even Mark Rosewater's Tumblr page. Which is SUPER interesting haha thank you for all you're doing and the hard work for this labor-of-love.
I work at one of the largest comic/game/hobby stores on the West Coast and I have been recommending your content to tons of people.
Hope to keep watching for a long time.
Where would that store be, out of curiosity?
Nice! I didn't know Ravnica was inspired by my home city.
I used to live in Prague, in my head I still read it as "Rav-nee-tsa" :D
How's the graffiti there?
I've been to that city. It is pretty city. hope to be back someday.
I was shocked too. Ravnica is my favorite set om MTG. Now I know why. My homeland city. When I saw the Prahv in Azorius guild I thought that was coincidence of Prague
. Now I know it isn't.
Awesome video! I noticed that most of the cards had grey in the sky but never would I have imagined the reasons and connections!
this video is the perfect setup for Ravnica Allegiance
God damn every time I see your videos I immediately click it knowing that it is going to be incredibly amazing and I have never been disappointed
Great profile pic.
Aaron Basham Thank you :)
I watched this when it originally came out, but I had to watch it again.
Thanks for doin such a good job with this video. Whether it’s a painting or a video, well-done art is a gift that continues to give :)
Dont take this the wrong way, sam. But I'm hoping your new video helps deal with my insomnia. You always had such a relaxing voice
Good luck with the insomnia, friend! Hopefully you'll sleep soundly again.
Try taking 3 8 mg melatonin tabs and letting them dissolve under your tongue. This absolutely knocks me the fuck out when I need to sleep and be up for work early.
I had actually taken 2 meletonin about 2 hours previous to this comment. Just didnt help last night. I thankfully managed to fall asleep. Just hope I can readjust my sleep schedual.
Edit: also, thank you both for the consern
Guys like Seiben Lore are unlistenable in my opinion. Oblivious to the fact he always narrates like a radio commercial.
If you like relaxing voices to deal with insomnia check out ASMR videos. There are millions out there and many viewers confirm it helps when trying to sleep
Is anyone else just stuck on how painful it must be to ride a horse made of branches?
@No Fun Intended indeed ^^
She's getting a good twigging so it's ok
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I think those are vines...
I'm emailing this to my classmates in my college art classes! This really helped to expand the way I think about capturing the feeling of a theme, and the way I approach color to evoke those feelings. There's a lot of value in this video here, and not just for to magic players
I dont even play MTG (planning on changing that since we currently have a shit format in Yugioh ATM) but I really like your videos and find them exceptionaly entretaining.
I had a similar situation. I was playing Yugioh for 10 years competetively and needed a change of pace. Hearthstone felt too simple for me and now Magic is where I ended up. couldnt be happier tho. So feel free to try it. Maybe try out Mtg Arena first, since its basically free.
@@mesutoysal9361 I wish I could try arena. My PC cant handle it unfortunately.
Yall should try mtg edh and pauper 😊
Same, i like Magic speed more because I feel like a can play no matter what deck i use
Just when I was having a tour in your videos, you show up and deliver this master piece
Thank you for your amazing job!
ravnica was one of the first major sets i really dove into & was my absolute favorite as a kid, it's amazing to see how much work has to go into expressing something as deceptively simple as 'the first set happens during autumn'. i remember the cards & the game itself was always very good at linking cards together through typing, naming, effects, artwork, etc. even without background knowledge of the wider lore. i'm just impressed with how much meticulous thought & planning has to go into every aspect of a deep & successful expansion set like this. amazing video & critique!
Love the care and effort you put in every video. Its always so relaxing watching your videos i really appreciate it thank you
Dear God, Sam, your videos blow every other content creator's stuff out of the water, 100% of the time. Love from Italy!
Always wonderful to see your videos in my feed, Sam. I enjoyed each and every second of them.
Well done! Your work is always pristine and well-polished, and I always appreciate that.
I really enjoy the play on color throughout this video. I expected your take on the color pairings, and you started there, but then dove into the actual color of the actual images. Then we experienced the color that time gives all things as it strides along - seasons, past, future.
Loved it!
Really glad to finally hear that interview in context! Awesome job as always.
The sheer level of the quality of this video is stunning. Fantastic job
Thank you, Sam! This phenomenal video had my attention from start to finish, you're a master of your craft!
Always feel so blessed when you upload. Consistently relaxing and engaging. Like the kinda lecture you're interested in and comfortable sitting still through. Comfortable is the best word to describe your content. Can't wait for the next one
Thank you as always for producing insightful videos. You are up there with Every Frame a Painting as one of the best video-essayists to grace this platform.
Absolutey gorgeous and thought provoking as always. The only thing the same from video to video is your quality and craftsmanship.
This is my favourite video you've done yet Sam. I particularly liked the interviews with Ryan and TItus and how you related art direction to the artists' individual interpretations. I'm about to sit down at my easel, and I will be thinking about all of the great colour theory you covered. Thanks for this!
It's absurd how good your content is. Thank you so much for poking me to watch the art more closely every now and then and explaining it to me at the same time.
The quality is 11/10. As always. Good Job man! Can’t wait for the next one.
I love how much effort you put into this! It’s amazing! Keep it up.
This was a true joy to watch, thank you for your wonderful content and kudos on another subtle masterpiece. 20 min. of perfection!
Really great piece man, these videos are always so detailed and meticulous, the interviews and graphics are extremely well done, and your analysis of what gets to the heart of these designs and ways of thinking is spot on.
Excellent!
The end monologue brought me to tears. Beautifully executed!
You make some of the best videos/short documentaries on the internet. It is always so interesting to see your content, thank you for it, and keep on going!
You make me literally giddy i love how much work goes into these videos THANK YOU!
Your videos made me look through each card as a whole pieces of art with its unique story to tell. Thank you for that.
Titus is my favorite! So awesome you got him on the show. Love everything you do, keep on creating Sam!
its always so intriguing to take something you doing think much of, like a card back, and then learn more about it, what it means, and how it was used to change and create so much more
One never quite realises how much work goes into the detailes of a game such as magic. This is why I really lovw your videos though, as they bring insight.
Magnificent video! Thanks for all your hard work.
From time to time il still watch this video as im starting to learn more about color theory. Its like im watching class featuring something i love to play
That has to be one of the best videos I have watched in a long time! Thanks for putting in the effort I really enjoyed it
Excellent video! It never ceases to amaze me, how well written these videos are - you do an excellent job. Keep it up!
Even just artwork have so many meanings! Thank you for making video!
You are amazing. Every video, down to a note, is perfectly crafted and produced. Please keep it up man.
I just have to appreciate your video's and their amazing true-to-home contents. Not too elaborate to loose yourself into the details, but deep enough to invoke a sence of understanding! Very well done!
Not only that, but your narraration is spot on. I'm impressed, again and again!

As a matter of fact: every time I go to the city Antwerp (almost daily) I see the cathedral in the background with the buzzing city life in it's wake, metro's and busses for transportation, walking paths and small alleys cast in shadows of the buildings, a great promenade lit by sunlight... I don't think I could get any closer to Ravnica myself...
Absolutely beautiful, poignant, magnificent content Sam. Loved every second of it. Thank you for making content such as this!
Another amazing video Sam. Really liked the Jazz reference. Thank you for being a wonderful part of our community.
Your videos are of so much quality, so much passion. Congrats, your work is trully amazing.
Love the vid, keep up the good work. I always get excited seeing you in my feed
Another beautiful video has blessed us
Yussss, Rhystic is back with another super high-quality video, glad to see you back man!
Another beautiful video. Thanks Sam.
Please do this for the other sets in this non-block.
Also your description of Dimir is what makes me love them so much. Very beautifully articulated.
Always waiting for new stuff from this channel. Never disappoints
Amazing as always. You are an inspiration to all of us. Thank you for taking what we love with extra care and hoisting it in such a regal fashion for the whole world to appreciate, and fall in love to.
im in love with your visuall essays( calling them video is bunching them with other content of this site and feels deteriorating). you go in depth on your subject, are articulate and leave nothing to be desired if not simply more of this content.
please keep doing those and keep up the quality of work you put into them. I like your choices of topics and always look foward to your next publication. hats off to you
I am amazed at how you can constantly make videos this good and interesting, the production Value on this channel is precious and i wish i could show this channel to everyone. Thank you for always deepening my knowledge about this game that we love so much.
The quality of your content is just amazing Sam
You are killing it!! You content is the best by a landslide. Can't get enough
Absolutely amazing video essay by far you've become one of my favorite channels of this community
Fantastic video and gives me an entire new perspective to not only Ravnica but Magic in general
These videos are always enjoyable and relaxing and Im always happy to see a new one.
Completely fantastic video. Exceptional start to a monday morning. Thanks a lot!
I love your videos! You dig deep and analyze the little details and I love that!
This is absolutely amazing, stunning work.
I love your videos. They really make me appreciate the art aspect of my hobby so much more.
A big thank you for that.
I really appreciate your examination of a game I love. Thank you
I have re-watched all of you content many times but I think this On is the best so far.
I know these videos take time and effort, and the wait is always super worth it! Thanks for being awesome!
Amazing. I'm always in awe of people with such creative talent. Thank you!!!
That was an amazing analysis of ravnica and it's position within the artistic and narrative world of magic. It's awesome how something like colours can become philosophies through arrangement and then develop in such a complicated yet sensical way. There are some great artistic minds behind this game. They have such a strong grasp on the concepts with which they work.
Another stellar video! Gets me hyped up for when the other guilds come out.
Every of your videos is state of art.
Thank you very much for this 21 minutes with coffee :)
Your thorough and philosophical analyses of magic art routinely connect with me at my deepest core. My favourite content on this platform, thank you.
I really hope you do this for the next 2 sets. I love this video
Best one so far, absolutely amazing work!
I love how you can make the small parts of magic that most just comb over stand out and make me feel special just for playing a game that has so much more meaning then untap upkeep draw.
This video is absolutely incredible. Well done!
Always look forward to your uploads
Simply breathtaking, great work!
Bravo good Sir! Your efforts are always greatly appreciated.
I just barely leave comments but binge watch videos. But this video, like most of yours, is such an incredible masterpiece combining entertainment, art and education. I can't imagine how much time it must take to create this video. Keep going with this channel!
I have a few genres of videos that I watch, and there's always the one or two creators that I would say that they define that genre.
You define the Magic genre, video essay genre, and overall quality genre.
You're someone that any aspiring creator looks up to due to sheer quality and skill, everything just as intentional and thought out as the game you talk about.
Thanks, Sam, for all that you do. Just know that you are one of the great TH-camrs that set the standard for quality content.
Well I am certainly looking forward for the next video when the set set gets here!
Your videos are absolutely gorgeous, man. Not only are they will written, but everything flows so smoothly and your voice puts me at an ease that no other TH-camr does. I cannot compliment you and express my gratitude enough. One of these days I will hopefully have the funds to pay back the joy you and your videos have given me. Thank you, Sam.
This is an amazing production. Thank you
Such a cool deep dive into this awesome new set!
Glad to see another high quality upload. :)
Another great video with incredible attention to detail, keep it up!
