  1. The ending to the new phyrexia saga was so lame. Urza had to fight phyrexians for millennia . This time the phyrexians lose almost instantly. It felt like a non ending.

  2. I won't comment on how rushed the story felt, but now we have 3 big bads in a "break in case of emergency" glass. Nicol Bolas in the meditation realm, Emrakul in the Moon of Innistrad, and now Phyrexia in the temporal void. Unless they bring planar menaces back in the limelight, like Baron Sengir, I guess only Tezzeret remains as a "bad actor".

  3. Such a narratively unsatisfying ending, but then that's what I expected from creatively bankrupt WotC. I wish this IP could find a new home away from the greed of Hasbro, where creatives could develop it into what it could be.

  4. kind of annoyed that the way they chose to turn the story around was just to go "hay you know that planes destroying bomb we found that would annihilate anyone caught in the blast? well it turns out the person who at ground zero is actually still around and is now an angel!". sounds like they wrote themselves into a corner.

  5. This is so sad. All the potential wasted. Actually I think the lore of MotM is worst then WotS, the stakes were a lot higher! Amazing how nowdays the jobs seems to end in the hands of the least capable persons!

  6. dont know it was somehow anticlimatic and deus ex machina how they finished this phyrexian arc, it would have nice to see something, like they beat new phyrexia, but with the return of yawgmoth in secret

  7. I think with Phyrexia phasing out of existence, it was like the threat made by Yawgmoth all those centuries, no thousands of years ago, was finally stopped and ended, with the glistening oil, the very first thing the twisted scientist used to make his mad visions a reality, made render inert by the failing of his successors, his dreams of completion and his obsession with perfection may finally be over. For the oil was first thing he corrupted and it also ironically the thing that finally ended his madness for good.

  8. Is it just me or does a multi arc, complicated story with a huge supporting cast where chandra is the MC that gets to have a big hero moment to save the day at the end the kind of thing that would be covered perfectly in a tv series? Like oh idk, maybe a Netflix show where chandra is the main character or something, idk

  9. great video! wotc story is trash and is so frustrating for me as I use to love the lore then got tired of the long duration of poor effort to get interested again and for what… Nothing whole lot of nothing. fool me once, fool me twice and im out gl

  10. Yo, long time fan, love the channel bro 👍 just wanted to say, you're the only one that tells these stories in a way that keeps it interestin for me… The way wizards have been handling the lore the last few years…🤮 , so for you to find a way to make it sound compelling💯👍 super impressive

  11. God that ending was so stupid. "Without Norn's control, and with its connection to New Phyrexia severed, the glistening oil's corruption halts. It's rendered harmlessly inert…" THAT'S NOT HOW GLISTENING OIL WORKS!

  12. Fire whoever is working on the MTG story, like seriously they need to go. They clearly don't know what they're doing and making shit up as they go, hoping it fits in canonically with past writings (it doesn't).

  13. You work and passion is notable, but wotc created a rushed and piece of crap storyline they only care about making a fast half job this have near 0 love. But nevertheless you work is remarkable sadly you can't save the disastrous work of wotc.

  14. I wish we got to see more of phyrexia before it was exiled. Hearing the terrifying hell scape was something cool that we haven’t really seen in magic
