  1. Ikoria, where the behemoths tackled Phyrexia underfoot and even the might of Phyrexis wasn't even worth of note by Zilortha.
    Zendikar, where the plane itself rose with natural might to fight off the invaders.
    Ixalan, where the rage and fury of the Dinossaurs, the cunning of vampires and stuborness of humans prevailed.
    Tarkir, where the fire raged and wings of flame buffeted the cancerous away in searing wrath.

    And Innistrad… where it was just another Tuesday,

    As you can see, I have a bit of bias with certain tropes.

  2. I'd love to hear more about the end of the invasion. From what I ggathered, it seems that Teferi invaded New Phyrexia, with Karn, they almost got Elesh Norn, but in the end she seems to have vanquished every Zhalfirin, and when she was about to slay Karn, Elspeth, who was supposedly dead, emerged as archangel, and slayed Elesh Norn. I'm sure I'm missing some info, therefore i'd love to hear about that 😀

  3. My favorite flavor text was on ikoria invasion

    Phyrexia largest Goliath stormed ikoria ready to challenge the world great monsters
    Zilortha was unimpressed

  5. Amazing content as usual. Thanks a lot for the trip down memory lane and into compleation.
    I know you spoke lots about dominaria, and have already made a video about Akroma, but is there any chance you could produce a video on the whole Mirari debacle?

  6. I like how much flavour they added to each invasion not just through the battle cards but also the online side stories and commander deck lore. Bright palm being the leader of the defence of towashi really added to that commander feeling like part of the story

  7. If only WotC put into their own lore half the passion that channels like this do, we might have had an epic story spanned across multiple sets really seeing how each of the planes and its heroes faced off the Phyrexian hordes, instead of that rushed and half-baked resolution that the official writing team put out.

    I guess it's better just to write ourselves most of the story based on the pictures and flavour text on the cards.
