I'm a huge fan of Mercadian Masques. It's the first MTG booster pack I remember buying as a kid and holds a ton of nostalgia for me.

I'm very glad I discovered this video. It's a simple, plain way of describing the events of the story, which is all i ever wanted from the various MTG history video series. I really appreciate your commitment to simplicity without all the visual pomp that modern "video essays" are cluttered by; you let the art and characters speak for themselves, and it makes the video better for it. This video was really relaxing to listen to, and I learned a lot about the characters and events of MM. I'm looking forward to viewing the other videos on your channel. Please keep making videos like this and keep up the good work.

This comment itself is well formulated!

First expansion I experienced the release of. When I look back on I see a flavor mish mash of Bladerunner/Total Recall meets Pirates of the Carribean/Peter pan

I feel 13 again watching this. I like how you combine the lore then the cards and the impact of the competitive scene at the time.

[@MagicUntapped]

Thanks!

This is one of my favorite sets for sure, it was the set i went from knowing of magic to loving to play magic

[@djk6297]

I've started collecting the set, and it's cool to know its lore and about the set itself.

[@flooohooo]

Thank you so much for this. I had no idea of the detailed story!

[@EacoWesos]

It’s my favorite set of magic mostly because the aesthetics of the art.

[@DiceTry]

really cool video. I really love the history lesson in both story and in the game itself

[@Nagoragama]

It was the first set to come out after I started playing, so it will always have a place in my heart. I know it wasn't well received, but I love the flavor and art of the plane.

La Heide? I never knew this character's name. It's a shame that she never a legendary.

[@rowdyrager-9403]

The set I started collecting in.

[@TheSkunk00]

One of my fondest memories of MMQ was placing 20th at the Las Vegas pre-release and winning a box.

[@MagicUntapped]

Nice work!

[@DavidOConnor44]

After watching a couple of your older videos, you really need to stop the constant interjections with film and TV clips. The audio mixing is MUCH louder than your narration which makes them INCREDIBLY jarring, and they aren't even funny - every time one of them pops up, I have to mentally brace myself just to withstand the shock. This video series would be much better if you stopped trying to inject "humour" into the videos and just let the subject matter speak for itself. I can see you already have toned it down in later videos compared to earlier ones, and I do appreciate that, but there isn't any need for these interruptions at all. If I had discovered this video series through an earlier video instead of this one, there's no way I would have thought to continue watching.
