Tamiyo: tragically slain by her best friend while her other best friend and her son look on; partially comes back as a magic AI.😢 Lukka: walks into a trap he should have seen coming, (on account of turning into a giant) fails to give villain speech; gets unceremoniously mauled by a dragon.😊
Vadrok is one of my favorite cards, it's the card that really got me addicted to the game about a year and and a half ago. It's great to see him getting some love
I love the idea that the monsters of Ikoria can adapt so well and quickly they develop a resistance to Phyrexian Oil Ikoria is hands down my favourite set Animar Mutate is so much fun 😊
It is with great sadness that we mourn the sudden departure of our beloved bonder. Taken from us so tragically on the very eve of his compleation. His legacy will live for ever in our hearts for all eternity... Well, he ain't gettin' any deader! Back to work!
You’re not wrong about the writers screwing Lukka over. One of my favorite characters (in concept) that they have released post War of the Spark. A Ranger planeswalker who guided monsters/animals without being green aligned. His Completion (and now death) was such an admission to them failing to write that character
Couldn't make it in a monster hunter environment, got labeled an enemy the moment he gets to another world, decides to bond with a phyrexian when told not to, then goes back to home plane thinking he could save/convert them to Phyrexia. How hard can a guy fail at life
Ikoria's life evolve fairly quickly. Makes sense that the monsters can become immune. Now imagine an Ikorian behemoth that produce halo. Or halo infused cristals that absorb Phyresis
@@jazybomber well yeah, I mean "halo" as a placeholder for whatever magical substance they could produce. I guess, in theory if an Ikorian behemoth is exposed to real halo maybe it could assimilate it and then produce it. At least is plausible.
This one is so interesting because the Adaptation theme is strong. Quint becoming a new planeswalker. Lukka adapting the beasts into himself. The Beasts adapting crystals to fight new phyrexia. Jirina adapting her plan when she saw the crystals. I’m so glad we get to see the new planeswalkers. A multiversal war was bound to awaken some sparks.
Wow, the best hope against Phyrexia comes from Ikoria, and the color green. That actually makes sense in an aspect. I kinda liked Lukka, sad to see him go.
@@pelusoft I don't disagree for the most part. The tragedy of a person longing for acceptance, going down the wrong path, attempting to redeem himself, only to fail further, and die because of it. Powerful character arc.
@@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena I suppose that depends on how one defines acceptance. Is a drone really accepted by the head of a hive, or merely an expendable pawn?
I love the concept of the creatures evolving to become immune against the Oil. Very clever writing without any deus ex machina, march of the machine lore has been very well executed so far. Makes me want a All will be one/MoM book series
I feel some sort of pity for Lukka, always losing and on the bad side of things (even though the Strixhaven thing was 90% on him). Even when he tried to be the good guy by trying to save Nissa from a phyrexian beast he became compleated alongside her, scolded by Elesh Norn and finally slaughtered on his home plane by an apex predator to keep it brief. Truly a master of disaster
Poor Lukka. He was trying so hard to be a good guy and his Bonder ways allowed Phyrexia to invade his mind and trick him into thinking he could dominate Ruin not even realizing Vorinclex had set this trap deliberately. -_- Ultimately he died in the most merciful way he could. Something we need to note here though: The Oozilith did something to Ikoria's crystals and made monsters seek them out to mutate remember? The only thing we knew about it was 'a mysterious figure' put it there. The Halo started to dry up until suddenly an angel who happened to be Elspeth's sister showed up as a new living source. Halo and Ikorian Crystals seem to be the new anti-Phyrexian weapons and both 'evolved' in a way that's unatural. If Ugin and Bolas aren't behind this I say this is Elspeth showing us she's learned a new ability: time travel. Or maybe just Omipotence able to appear anywhere in the whole of the plane. I personally hope it's the latter cause the idea of Ugin and Bolas working together unseen is...unsettling.
Elesh... if there is something that 69 (nice) years of Godzilla has tought us is: don't mess with the apex! Also... yeah... -Sheoldred dies, holy shite! Elesh is really going zero tolerance! -Tamiyo dies, oh no! Poor moon mommy... I hope Nashi can get past this... -Lukka dies... anyway...
This is the absolutely fucking coolest Magic story I've ever heard holyyyy shit ahhhh I love Ikoria! Two different types of evolution fighting each other! The natural defense is crazy
lukka is a tragic character honestly and he deserves more sympathy than he got. >He was born to a world of monsters, in a faction that hated them. >was bullied by those people >He saw his allies slaughtered by one, and by a cruel twist of fate was forced to bond with the very same beast >They blamed him and exiled him >But He saw a sliver of hope, and sought to save his people using his new cruel gift. >but instead his madness caused by the "gift" caused him to lash out branding him a monster as well >He awoke in new land, unable to return home, treated poorly immediately >the only people to show him a sliver of kindness here was a terrorist cell/cult. >lukka helped them and lost, eventually given a chance by jace >he jumped at the chance to redeem himself >used his bonding to try and help end a praetor >except it ended in his Compleation and death. Yes lukka is an arrogant self centered militant nut, but he honestly had intentions that at least always had a bit of good in them. As for the animal abuse yes, but can you blame him he was raised to hate non-humans, and lost everything when he was forced to bond. don't get me wrong it's shitty the way he treated them but he honestly had little reason to do otherwise
such a cool story and the cool thing is, Vadrok has the crystals and such, but if you look in the lore, the apexes are probably straight up immune to the oil, take a look at Nethroi and Brokkos, those two would straight up be immune to phyresis in some way, Nethroi can’t die and will just rez himself, not to mention the things that he devours and kills disappear body and soul both, Brokkos is immortal where if he dies, he reincarnates from another creature (Otrimi is the likely candidate), Oh and Illuna, she would just flick her one of her whiskers and look she’s completely immune now, Snapdax though, that’s the hard one, i’d assume he would do something similar to Vadrok, but it’s hard to say.
Nothing could fix the terrible management of this character. The writers did him so dirty that he just didn't have a chance. Death was his only salvation. Hopefully, they'll learn and never do this bad of a job on a character again. Now that just leaves Nahiri of the problematic planeswalkers. The Unforgiving...more like the Unforgivable. My only regret is that Innistrad doesn't get the honor of killing her but I hope the Roil does after she tried to kill it After this that'll just leave Oko, annoying freak that he is, and Ashiok, who has done nothing but troll, and hopefully he suffers the same as Tibalt. He was done dirty compleated without a card
I really could not feel more sorry for Lukka. He was a man who just wanted to do what was right for his people, and the authors jerked him around, treating him like a toy to be tortured. It's awful.
It really is a shame. We could have gotten so much more with him, instead he dies like a jobber hated by everyone. Really disappointed with the WotC writers
@@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena they tried, and failed. It led to slivers becoming stronger. Originally they weren't from dominaria (not really known where) but they were on older phyrexia sets. Never phyrexian though
@@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena it's their hivemind. Scientists tried with sliver drones. But due to them not being of the hivemind, but the same appearance we're good for observation. So mechanical slivers become less hivemind esque. Change the queen and you've got a ton of raging slivers without the mind
Lukka suffered from being a total moron of a character in the novels and a uber-annoying combo enabler in the cards. Never been more glad to see something gone.
I am so amused by the hate for Lukka. He always felt the most like a normal human who was just given powers to me. Everyone else in the stories always had at least one thing that caused me to think of them as removed from the reader, even if they were just a side character. Lukka was full of himself, easily tricked, and really only did most things because it was of benefit to them. We love to think of ourselves as being heroes given the chance, but we hate to think we would do harm instead.
I find it funny that elesh norn thought more or less about the threats of each world to go for them but in ikoria he simply sent lukka and that's it, I'm surprised that he didn't think about the mutation of animals
I find it kind of funny that for all the praise and accolades people give phyresis and the compleation process, there are plenty of counter measures in the multiverse. I can see the crystals possibly acting as a preventative measure or maybe a cure with enough time and research
I would really also appreciate more of your insights at the end of videos. I'd love to hear you discuss more basically like talking more about the hyper evolution hilariously finding a way around the oil.
I agree Lukka was basically killed due to the writers not knowing what to do with him. But I think it would have been better if the Apex predator cured him from then oil, so that they could try and fix him in the future.
I have to say I'm a bit disappointed with MoM stories... The terrible treat of compleation of Planeswalkers we've seen in All Will Be One and the invasion seems so "manageable". Reading the stories so far I count only victories for the Gatewatch: Tamiyo is down, Lukka is down, Stryxhaven have taken down the Phyrexians... I was expecting some really heavy loss for our Heroes. If this continue like this I don't see how "the Multiverse is going to change forever". To me All Will Be One was the real change (with heroes turning heels) and MoM is just cutting them down. Maybe its just me (I'm not English) but reading these stories, the invasion treat seems not so "epic" nor "crucial" at all
Damn bro. I was convinced there was no way they would kill all the compleated walkers but they killed 2 already. To be fair one was lukka which whatever. Still, I have a hard time seeing them getting rid of Jace. I can kind of see Chandra Makimg the tough choice to kill Nissa to further her story I guess.
Damn poor Lukka, they just not letting him ever get a win. Also for an invasion that is supposedly very dangerous to the multiverse, it sure has not been going that way it seems. 2 compleated planeswalkers killed and nothing bad happens to our "heroes"
... I wouldn't say having to kill some of your better friends and allies is "nothing bad happening" so many of them will be having issues after this, and it's going to be a great time for other walkers to be the focus, if they're going to keep doing that.
Still super interested to see whats going to happen with the invasion of innastrad. Wonder if all our Eldrazi theories are going to be correct. Unlikely but I'd still love to see it.
@@AetherHub I mean, on one hand MTG writers ARE known from completely forgetting about older stuff and being a bit misleading. I think the main Emrakul would be...odd, considering Ulamog's mutational properties could essentially override the phyresis itself, which would be a cheap way to beat phyrexia and would also flip the story once again. UNLESS, if Emrakul for some reason shows her intelligence and selfconsciousness again...because in the end the eldrazi were never evil, just absolute neutral and uncaring towards everything.
I may be mistaken but all these planes are getting some spotlight but I haven’t seen anything mentioning what’s going on with Amonkhet, either that’s the next part for the story or It’s being saved for something else for the future
I've been enjoying your work a lot, as reading the official stuff I find it impossible within my time constraints. I have one suggestion/wish, though - I wish you would show via text what card names are displayed. I feel like that would add a lot to the impact of the story. Regardless, thanks for all your work. Cheers.
Well Lukka was never a mainplayer... somehow sad how easy some worlds "win". I hoped to see much more stronger Phyrexian Planeswalker, much more of a threat, worldending...
This is great. Just goes to show that you cannot win against the combined strength of the multiverse. There's bound to be a plane who could successfully repel Phyrexia.
Silly Phyrexians, in the long run, Kaiju will always grow too powerful for robots and cyborgs. Also, considering that the oil is based on nano-scale power stones, it makes sense that they could be subsumed by the adative crystals of Ikoria.
So I may be the only one that says this but I feel like Luca as a character could have been a lot better I am happy to see him go but he could have been a really cool plane'swalker card as in a lot of token generation defenders 4 plainswalkers so when you win to build a superfriend's deck it was just massive token setting the field for defending I feel like it was a missed opportunity. However that being said him as a character the way they have chosen him to be I am glad that his story is over with
Think writers know exactly what to do with Lukka since they introduced him. Give him some stories, couple spotlights, so when this moment have come, we all would cheer for his demise.😂
Lukka...well bye,funny thing he have a cool Phyrexian visual, I was wishing he was like a Phyrexian planeswalker forever at lest he will be interesting
I don't know if this is a unpopular take but like...Aren't they defeating the compleated planeswalkers a bit too easily? Like the past stories were about a plane that with realativly not many losses defeats the compleated planeswalker or the invasion of the plane itself. I dunno maybe it's just a bit.....anticlimatic? all this hype and preparation just to be defeated in a single story...
Even the glory of Phyrexian perfection couldn’t make Lukka any better.
He should have ate more weakling to get buff
Even Elesh Norn knew he was a f up and was upset she had him
Daaaaaaaaammmmn
He clung to flesh. Shoulda gone all in on compleation.
Against the unmatched power of the colossal Dreadmaw? Not a chance.
Tamiyo: tragically slain by her best friend while her other best friend and her son look on; partially comes back as a magic AI.😢
Lukka: walks into a trap he should have seen coming, (on account of turning into a giant) fails to give villain speech; gets unceremoniously mauled by a dragon.😊
AND shot with arrows. It was a good day
You make Tamiyo's final moments sound so Dangan Ronpa lol.
As always, you cannot have Lukka without L
He was a literal L machine
thank gods
Vadrok was a complete badass. I love Ikoria.
The idea of them not giving the slightest EFF about the oil is hilarious.
As long as the completed ikoria monsters don't now make the phyrexians able to evolve faster so we're in a mcguffin arms race
@@StealthNinja4577 I believe the phyresis destroys the flesh, making the ikoria monsters lose their biological ability to evolve
@@ammonaustin9081 yup, I think your assumptions is correct...
Phyrexia, especially this white flavor commanded by Elesh Norn, is all about stagnant growth and self-importance.

I think the main Emrakul would be...odd, considering Ulamog's mutational properties could essentially override the phyresis itself, which would be a cheap way to beat phyrexia and would also flip the story once again. UNLESS, if Emrakul for some reason shows her intelligence and selfconsciousness again...because in the end the eldrazi were never evil, just absolute neutral and uncaring towards everything.
The Lukka monster is a great name for a card for him if they make it.
It would be cool. But the only card he’ll get this set is showing his demise
maybe a non-artifact creature that can be equipment, that can be equip to planeswalkers.
@@AetherHub even better. I had some hopes for him at first glance then I heard the story of Ikoria and lost most of it when he went cuckoo
aaaaaand now i wanna make a Vadrok commander deck 😃
And finally a plane of monsters didn't get bodied by op phyrexians. Thank you apex predator stayed apex predator... and lukka is dead
I may be mistaken but all these planes are getting some spotlight but I haven’t seen anything mentioning what’s going on with Amonkhet, either that’s the next part for the story or It’s being saved for something else for the future
Probully later im it seems each plane mentioned in the land cycle will get a story
I've been enjoying your work a lot, as reading the official stuff I find it impossible within my time constraints. I have one suggestion/wish, though - I wish you would show via text what card names are displayed. I feel like that would add a lot to the impact of the story. Regardless, thanks for all your work. Cheers.
yoo colossal dreadmaw mvp
I'm so hyped for the next video becouse it's in ixalan :3 can't wait
Lukka may be pathetic and major hinderance to anyone he aligns with but at least he’s consistent.
I see in that last picture of the video that Wrenn and Seven is compleated.
Lukka has now replaced Tibalt as the butt end of many jokes.
II Darwin Award for Lukka 😂😂😂
He tried 😂
Vardox also alternatively Rodan just whooped Lukka. Lolololol
Man those Godzilla alternate cards were sweet
Destroy Lukka! Kill the Grand Pubah! Eliminate even the toughest stains!
Well Lukka was never a mainplayer... somehow sad how easy some worlds "win". I hoped to see much more stronger Phyrexian Planeswalker, much more of a threat, worldending...
I knew we'd return to Ikoria, and I'm happy!
Kick their ass, my giant monsters!
This is great. Just goes to show that you cannot win against the combined strength of the multiverse. There's bound to be a plane who could successfully repel Phyrexia.
When Monsters have natural gain of function.
Silly Phyrexians, in the long run, Kaiju will always grow too powerful for robots and cyborgs.
Also, considering that the oil is based on nano-scale power stones, it makes sense that they could be subsumed by the adative crystals of Ikoria.
So I may be the only one that says this but I feel like Luca as a character could have been a lot better I am happy to see him go but he could have been a really cool plane'swalker card as in a lot of token generation defenders 4 plainswalkers so when you win to build a superfriend's deck it was just massive token setting the field for defending I feel like it was a missed opportunity. However that being said him as a character the way they have chosen him to be I am glad that his story is over with
Vivien not understanding why humans don't like titans? Why um idk watching your friends and family get eaten, bonder or not is traumatic enough.
Looks like I'm getting another jirina edh deck
Think writers know exactly what to do with Lukka since they introduced him. Give him some stories, couple spotlights, so when this moment have come, we all would cheer for his demise.😂
Lukka...well bye,funny thing he have a cool Phyrexian visual, I was wishing he was like a Phyrexian planeswalker forever at lest he will be interesting
RIP Etali
I'm so happy that mutate creatures are safe. I'm popping off.
All things could have actually been one with such a great and terrifying power. Fortunately the universe wasted that gift on lukka.
I wonder whats happening with garruk now
Is the mutate mechanic coming back?!
They could have saved Lukka it would have made his story make sense. Now he gets just "pity"?
Sooo...break the ozolith into pieces and stick'm in ppl 😅
Dang, my cellular was off!
kinda surprised garruk didn't appear
Has “plot armour” been replaced by popularity armour?
Another great short story.
Lukka going the way of Domri
For me a person who doesn’t have time to read the more I love
These videos
Lukka is like that one guy in class who hangs out with the bullies but says he's not a bully and those bullies also bully him without him knowing
I don't know if this is a unpopular take but like...Aren't they defeating the compleated planeswalkers a bit too easily? Like the past stories were about a plane that with realativly not many losses defeats the compleated planeswalker or the invasion of the plane itself.
I dunno maybe it's just a bit.....anticlimatic? all this hype and preparation just to be defeated in a single story...
it's a culling of the extended cast really.
Well, who had "Lukka dies on his first attempt on Ikoria" on their card?
Everyone? Ok, then.
Lukka died, as he lived, kinda stupidly
Amen.
This is why you never go full meatwad
I want Vivien to bond with the Apex' of Ikoria.
WotC truly hates Lukka 😅
They screwed him up. They must reap what they sow!
@@AetherHub He got thrown out of the story as fast and lazely as he came into it xD
