ALL WILL BE ONE "COMPLEAT" STORY | Magic: The Gathering Lore

Would the eldrazi be fighting against the phyrexians though, or with them? After all the ones who created the prison are now compleated (tamiyo, nissa and Jace)

[@gerald216]

@@ironfoo1 I saw an interesting take about that, according to their interpretation the eldrazi would absolutely fight the phyrexians as the goal of phyrexia is completion (aka stagnation) and the eldrazi are closer to evolution and would not like things getting "complete"

[@ironfoo1]

@@gerald216 true that, but if the phyrexian hive mind can turn ajani and Jace, they can easily turn the eldrazi into believing this is the final step of evolution

I don’t think Garruk needs the Lazotep plating because that just makes it so non planeswalkers can go through the interplanar bridge.

[@D-Skotes]

Jace has had a lot of bad ideas and poor planning (bringing Lukka) but him activating the Sylex was not one of them. It's kinda funny in an ironic way as his mind was unraveling and being corrupted he was probably thinking more clearly than he had in a long time.

[@patrickhiggins7223]

@Nicolas Bolas there was a side story of how Ashiok was able to play with Elesh Norn's fears by making living organs sprout from a Mirran's blood she could not complaet. Emrakul would create horrors that would scare Elesh Norn based off what Ashiok was able to learn.

Phyrexia vs Eldrazi And I have an inkling that Bolas and Ugin will merge into one (they are twins after all) and will either link up or fight Emrakul before having a grand showdown against the Phyrexian Horde.

I think not enough people consider the fact that Jace essentially had an allergic reaction to Halo before Vraska ever stabbed him when he started acting irrationally. I felt like that was supposed to be a pretty on the nose tell that he was either a sleeper agent or in some way already compromised. They also made the point to say that the thing he bled into the Sylex before detonating it was glistening oil. We really have no idea if the Sylex was even going to work, or how the oil might change the outcome of the blast. We especially don’t know if Jace’s logic was reliable or if it would work the way he thought it would. Idk what conclusions to really make from this but I think it’s important to mention because a lot of people who read the story just seem to kinda take Jace at face value

[@mystique3645]

I think it's less that and more people are frustrated at how sudden and kinda lackluster the explanation was that they couldn't use the sylex. I personally find the stories to really be half baked and that there is foundations for some really important conversations and things to be thought about, but it was executed not so great. Rushed almost or just suffering from word count limitations. Also, while Jace was going full uh-oh depressios, there is some truth to his logic that if phyrexia already had enough grasp that destroying the tree could destroy multiple worlds, that it was basically over for them. Of course there will be resistances and ways to fight back, but the hopelessness and need to end things before more suffering happens isn't a concept people are foreign with.

[@b2e297]

@@mystique3645 I get that, like I said I don’t have any specific theories or conclusions from what I said, and that’s mostly because like you said, the story is too underwritten to really come to too many conclusions. I just think it’s interesting that the general response to Jace’s role was basically that he had it all right and everyone else was being dumb/crazy. The whole point of phyrexia so far has been unreliable narrators, and I think Jace gave the readers and the party more than enough reasons to mistrust his logic and motives

[@ConsoleCleric]

So Zhalfir was in a hyperbolic time chamber that was phased out of existence. Teferi was able to send his spark back in time to when Urza fired the Sylex. The explosion exiled Teferi into phased-out Zhalfir. Now that he's there, Zhalfir's forces are able to mount a offense against the invasion. Looking at the box art for March of the Machine, you can see *every* plane fighting against the Phyrexians.

I doubt it. First off, realm breaker didn’t connect to every plane in the multiverse, and second. Bolas has only spent a few years in there tops. Which is a tiny fraction of his total lifespan. Even if he could change, being in timeout for less than a decade isn’t gonna do it

I also remember something about Ixhel being corrupted by Geth's incomplete transition and learning something of free will herself. It'd be really interesting to see that free will begin to spread. Unfortunately, I think Teferi ex Machina is going to fix things and set them back the way they were. I'd much rather see some or all of these ramifications stick.

Plus, Emrukal, was embodiment of the spirits of known planeswalkers until they were corrupted in attempts to save their plane; that ended with their transformation into what we see now.

[@daviddent5662]

Pretty good but you forgot to include Tezzy fleeing back home when Norn was about to Compleat him, stealing a suit of Darksteel and going to beg the Angels of his plane for assistance. XD Prompting me to say "You know we're in trouble if Tezeret get religion" =P I am not sure how we'll see a reversal but if we look at the sets we have for the first time since Core hints that a multiversal battle will take place in March of the Machine but it's the only one. After that Eldraine and Ixalan. So two possibilities come to mind: Teferi will do what everyone predicted trapping the Phyrexians in a Timeloop/End gaming in so many allies Norn can't Compleat them all and somehow every walker we love somehow is saved...yeah not betting on this or and more likely: the Phyrexians are allowed to invade and Compleat multiple planes all seems lost when Teferi and Elspeth in her angel form strike down Norn but cannot/willnot destroy our Walkers who then continue the invasion in the next two sets.

Yeah as someone mostly outside the MTG sphere I kinda expected people to be more upset about how willy nilly WotC is just effectively ending the story lines of characters that have over 15 years of history to them. Also its not like any new addition to the Lore has been well received, most of the new walkers are either bland or infuriating and most of the enemies should be more interesting but aren't due to the way the story is written. The new planes are cool on a macro level but once you look close at the people and the story taking place there its all just amateur level writing. If you asked anyone how these characters would die they would not answer that they would be killed just as a means to set the stakes on a conflict. Like yeah the phyrexians are a multiversal threat, just like everything else.

[@aarondeleon82]

With all of those involved with sealing away Emrakul now under the control of the Phyrexians, it's very possible the eldrazi could get involved somehow. Especially if the blind eternities are at risk. Remember, Emrakul MADE Jace and Tamyio seal her away in the moon by forcing Tamyio use some kind of forbidden scroll against her will. Jace communicated with a figment of Emrakul as Emeria, which tells him that she is "incomplete, unfulfilled, inchoate" and that Innistrad should welcome her, not reject her. She willingly lets herself be sealed in the moon. Emrakul told Jace, "I just no longer want to play" and "There should be blossoms, not barren resentment. The soil was not receptive. It is not my time. Not yet". Emeria also appeared at the end of Nissa's vision of Nicol Bolas' plan while she was taking the Trial of Knowledge. I bet they're going to release Emrakul and they all will "welcome her, not reject her" without resentment. As she may be their only hope at this point. Maybe Teferri is their real hope, but using Emrakul to wipe out the Phyrexians for going too far could be more fun lol.

[@rbruch98]

I think this marks a big change in how Magic works - mechanically, and in terms of story. I don't think there'll be an "answer" to the Phyrexian Menace as you put it, they'll just be an ever-present thing. Perhaps lurking in the shadows, perhaps laying siege to cities. Realmbreaker is literally woven into the fabric of reality at this point. I'm excited to see what happens in March of the Machines.

[@mcswaggerduff8946]

I think the Phyrexians will become a species like any other, only (hopefully) lead by urabrask so as to not be a forceful conversion kind of people.

I have so many questions. I thought Gin-Gitaxias invented a way to *surgically* compleat a Planeswalker, and that because of their spark regular oil wouldn't compleat them. But now it does??? Also, why did Elspeth take the Sylex away? Didn't they WANT Jace to use the Sylex? Isn't that why they went there??? I thought they knew the risk, why instead just destroy some random plane instead??? When did Nissa get completed??? That just happens off screen? Seriously, so many plot holes.

[@michaelbrown3727]

The oil changed as does phyrexia, they figured out how to use it through surgery and I imagine that’s all they needed. They opened the world tree, they wouldn’t just blow up new phyrexia and mirrodin (which was already pretty bad) but could blow up all connections and planes. There’s also reason to believe Jace pouring in oil instead of blood could have been dangerous. Nissa gets compleated offscreen because we know it happens after Lukka’s story where he hands her over.

Fight them with another inexhaustible army; endless legions of Undead. So, resurrect Lim-Dûl and tell him the only thing between him and victory is Phyrexia :) Then send in Gwendlyn di Corci, Kiku, and/or Yuriko to knife LD afterward.

[@GamalJesus]

I'll jokingly say Nicol Bolas will be resparked and he'll show Phyrexia what's what! 🤦🏾‍♂️😂

[@davemcduringo4377]

WotC has been looking to cash in lately. The DND stuff, Transformers, finally printing Brother's War as a set--don't be shocked if they go all out and bring back Urza or Yawgmoth or whoever they feel like. If those names will sell = its on the table. Karn is still sorta in play as far as we know. I can see the Eldrazi route as well, but maybe not go immediately to that. Jace dying on this note seems unlikely to me too. Face of the brand usually isn't written out when you are talking about an ongoing, for sale product's storytelling.

[@justsomeguy28]

I agree with you. Though, I've noticed that Teferi has been slowly replacing Jace as the face of MtG. This could be a way to pass the torch, story-wise.

Nahiri, Tamiyo and Nissa were so powerful, even worse that they got Jace, who knew Bolas was still alive. If Bolas got compleated....

Not what I think, but what I wish would happen. Jace and Ugin let Bolas out of the prison realm and reignite his spark to fight the phyrexians.

[@wayneigoe6722]

I'd do the same thing they did for the Eldrazi. It might not be a PERFECT solution, but when you're dealing with an unstoppable threat, the best you can do is keep them busy to buy time. Maybe just unleash the Eldrazi to fight the Phyrexians... Ya know... Enemy of my enemy and all...

predictions: Liliana will save the day again

[@AibaunaGuara]

There are many things I don't think are 100% correct. Luka's experience is fighting giant monsters, not cunning humanoid soldiers, also he literally lost every time he fought anyone. And I don't think Nahiri considers anyone her "friend" much less these new Planeswalkers. They literally just threw the trashiest Planeswalkers (in a narrative and characterization sense) and Vraska at this, there was no chance they wouldn't fail.

[@christopherfrawley2560]

Let the rain of planeswalkers come to an end. No more hero's. Let their stories fade away. End the spark and everyone that uses it.

[@ethanotemo]

So correct if im wrong bc im doing this all from memory...the phyrexian tree goes to EVERY plane.... and bolas is imprisoned somewhere and only Jace knows that he isn't fully dead..... is bolas getting his ticket out?

It took me until now to realize Lukka’s right arm is on top of the beasts head. When I first saw the art I thought the beasts mandible was his arm. 🤦🏼

his right arm is hanging at his side. He's got an extra set of limbs sprouting from his back. That's what's on the beast's head.

Hey; thank you so much for your videos; would you be able to add the transcript as subtitles ? It would help tremendously the understanding as I am neither versed in Magic nor a native english speaker, the names of the characters and places are super hard to catch

[@kreid_0104]

Time-boi will reset the timeline. Maybe sacrifice himself cause there needs to be lasting ramifications from this arc, but there is no way for all the planeswalkers to come back normal, and also no way WotC leaves that many compleated or dead after this.

So if all paths are now open. Does that mean nicol bolas can now get free?
