      Tolarian Community College I hope this is a sign of things to come. With the novels gone, this is a godsend. More if this please.

    Please more videos like this, the community is missing such great story telling, true story telling of magic lore!

      @UltimateDrDoom 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      phillipe lake I like Seiben (who turned his channel into AetherHub), granted it's not as theatric but Seiben tells the story well enough.

    • @dragonbear2004
      @dragonbear2004 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I do too don't get me wrong but this is on a completely different level in my opinion of course. When listening to the story in this format, it makes you feel more invested in the story or at least for me. I hope they do this for the Hour Of Devastation!

    • @primedialga
      @primedialga 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      it's sometimes hard to find the actual stories on the AetherHub, since a lot of different content get's mixed in and the titles don't have an indication of the content as good as here.
      Also the quality here is much higher and it contains the full story, not just a summery. I would prefer pure narration, possibly with different voices for different characters and maybe with a soundtrack in the background to convey the mood. Not so many sound effects, but that is my own prefference.

    Arlinn was my favorite planeswalker from SOI . . . this just further justifies my liking of her.

  • @ShaineEdwards
    @ShaineEdwards 7 ปีที่แล้ว +41

    These are so important. Please keep them up.

  • @MrCyberGal
    @MrCyberGal 7 ปีที่แล้ว +33

    It's a shame that, much like Saheeli, Arlinn ended up doing nothing major in the story.
    Hopefully the new model with less focus on the Gatewatch will make things like that not happen anymore.

    • @timlamiam
      @timlamiam 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      i wonder are they gonna have bolas kill off the gatewatch in hours, if not, seal them away like the scorpion, locust, and scarab god until we return to amonkhet?

    • @alicemoore2036
      @alicemoore2036 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      timlamiam Jace will be in the next set. As for the rest of the Gatewatch, who knows?

    • @FenrirEX
      @FenrirEX 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah, but Saheeli was AROUND more. Arlinn had her own story, one cameo, and then she wasn't mentioned by name again.
      Saheeli didn't get focus, but she was name dropped, every what? Third story in Kaladesh and Aether Revolt?

    when i saw a pop-up for a lore video at your channel, i was a bit confused. i thought that it was a mistake that TH-cam send me a wrong message.
    but this infinitly more and better than i thought to find wen i went to check it out.
    this is what i wanted from the rich lore and settings of mtg. i love the lore but don't have the time with school and and internships at the same time, to read the lore. but i travel alot by bike and by foot, so this is perfect.
    please, i would love to see/hear more of this. and i will go to the website.
    thanks for this and every other video you have made that help me play and learn magic.
    with kind regards,
    a fan from the Nederland

  • @Josh_Fredman
    @Josh_Fredman 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I loved Arlinn's plotline and wished she'd gotten a bigger role in the story. SOI was one of the few blocks with virtually no filler stories, because there was just so much going on. As a result, nobody got enough screentime. It's nice to see the stories we ~did~ get getting some love and recognition.

  • @karmahstronghold4801
    @karmahstronghold4801 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @opmwatcher96

    The intro to this reminded me of Shelly Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre which got me thinking of how cool an MTG lore spin of that format would be!

    @davelawrence9100 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    To those that love the MTG lore I'm so glad this audiobook style video exists. Production levels are fantastic. MTG lore isn't my cup of tea, but so happy to see this on the channel and have directed a few friends to www.MagicTheStory.com.
    Well done Professor, another great addition to a stellar program line up.

  • @hollyglaederfallout9123

  • @theaspirant549
    @theaspirant549 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is awesome, the entirety of her story only fascilitated her further as one of my top three (interchangeable) planeswalkers, those being: Jace, Ajani and Arlinn. Seriously, if this got returned to books but sent to actual book houses to get printings, a lot more people would not only be playing magic, but be absorbed within its flavor, just as it was intended from the start. Glorious.

  • @MasterQuestMaster
    @MasterQuestMaster 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    That's the most awesome thing ever. They had some really good acting. (Although there was also the "No" when the angel attacked, which was pretty half-hearted, but nobody's perfect)

  • @philbattiste9649

  • @androkguz
    @androkguz 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    It might be a nice return to core sets if they did another "origins" but with non-gatewatch members. Dual walkers that also need a background and maybe a flipwalker.
    If they did, they could make it like return to ravnica and not use fully allied pairs nor fully enemy pairs.
    I would like something like
    RG - Arlinn
    BG - Vraska
    BU - Ashiok
    UW - Baan
    WR - Nahiri or new boros girl from ixilan
    Or alternatively
    RG - Arlinn
    GB - Vraska
    BW - Kaya
    WU - Baan
    UR - Saheeli
    Different planes, very little known facts, lots to develop.

  • @dylanreinhart5396
    @dylanreinhart5396 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Good evening Professor! Sorry lol I messaged you but found it was difficult getting to my own inbox so I figured I would also leave this as a comment.
    First off, I'm a huge fan. I love your videos and how helpful they are, especially for players like myself who aren't necessarily the most experienced. I was hoping I could ask for a little advice since I'm just getting into modern and am a habitual commander player.
    I'm trying to build a modern Knightfall deck, but the two criteria I'm focusing on are 1) keeping it at a moderate price and 2) design it so that I have a permanent core element to it. The best way to describe my thought process would be, for example, building an Abzan Knightfall main deck but having a sideboard designed to convert it into a Naya Knightfall deck.
    The only issue is determining what I want the core cards to be. If you have any insight on this I would definitely appreciate it! Thank you for reading my absurdly long message!
    Very respectfully,
    SPC Reinhart, Dylan

    @luliby2309 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is awesome Professor! This really brings the lore and literature to life when it is read so theatrically.
    Also, what would you think about doing a video or videos where you look over all of Magic's story? I enjoy the story myself, but I would love it if someone more knowledgeable about literature such as yourself gave an overall review of Magic's story. What is good about it? What needs to improve? Oh and I mean the entire story of Magic, from the beginning to now. I feel like a lot of people like to act like snobs and bash it, but is it really that bad? Is it even bad at all? I know I would enjoy such a video analyzing it.
    Anyways, this video is great and I would love to see more like it! See ya.
