I disagree pretty strongly with you on giants. Consider as a starting point that these 8 creature types were all they had to work with in set design. As they said: no dragons, no krakens, no demons. Giants are the personified natural disaster of lorywn. And as such, they embody at their core the individualism of Red. The mess of contradictions you describe all center around their profound disparity to the world around them. Some are isolationist, some are hedonist, some are disciplined and focused, some cooperate with other races, others don't. With size comes the freedom from societal restriction, the freedom to choose to pursue whatever it is they wish. That's it, that's the thread that ties them together. As a foil to the other, somewhat more unified races, the sheer might of giants precludes them from needing society at all. And from that freedom comes a lot of largely accidental collateral damage. Much like a dragon, a demon, or a kraken, the giants of Lorwyn serve an important purpose as a narrative weight which displaces things. They are an element of the setting more than a participant, crashing through stories with all the grace and elegance of Brian Stoutarm. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
@willofbob2 жыл бұрын
That being said, I think you could make a case that Giants could have had a unified mechanical identity based around only having a couple on the board and making them massively disruptive to the board state. Make Giant Ramp a thing, where you summon a giant with all the weight of summoning an earthquake or a hurricane. They're out of place and disrupt the world around them with their mere presence, design with that in mind.

I feel like the reason that the giants of Lorwyn don’t really have a general theme is because every other tribe probably has incredibly differing opinions on them, giants have the fewest creatures out of all the tribes to show how few of them actually exist in the world of lorwyn, and they differ so much in abilities and synergies because it seems like they don’t interact with other giants much, you never really see more than 1 or two on a card. In my opinion they are the middle ground tribe that either molds to fit the world around them like with cloud goat ranger, or shapes the world around them like with thunder cloud shaman.

Honestly I have kinda the opposite deal with Alara. That was the set that was releasing right when I started playing, so it was one of my first experiences with Magic and I loved it (alongside a pack of Morningtide, funnily enough). But the more Magic I've played and the more worlds we've visited, the more I kinda... don't care for Alara? It's a very synthetic plane, and post-merge I don't actually know what you could do on the plane that would have interesting stakes. Esper is still *gorgeous* though, so if we do return I won't necessarily complain. But I'd much rather have Alara references in supplemental sets than a full Return to Alara I think.
@Yxoque2 жыл бұрын
@@The5lacker Alara is very much a bottom-up set but the worldbuilding is far from sterile. Conflux and Alara Reborn show what direction a return could look like and in terms of narrative and flavor I don't think it'd be too hard. Mechanically it's probably harder because you'd probably need to make it a fully gold set while still balancing the Shards' identity. I'd probably start from the ideas of the Shards trying to maintain their uniqueness while adapting to the influence and potential of new magic. At the same time you'd have those "outsiders" from Alara Reborn developing into actual factions.

What I liked most about RTR was exactly what you like about Lorwyn vis a vis the unimportance of planeswalkers. I’ll grant you that RTR was significantly more focused on the actions of the planeswalkers than Lorwyn was, but the reason the Ravnica of RTR felt real to me was that you had all these groups of people doing their own things because of their own motives, with a core macguffin-esque conflict that occasionally drew them into contact with one another. I couldn’t have cared less - even as a 13-year-old - what Jace was trying to do about Nicol Bolas or whatever. I cared about what Teysa was scheming about; I cared about whose hands the future of the Conclave would lie in; I cared about Dimir’s schemes and Gruul’s path towards dissolution; and I cared about the plight of the Guildless, going about their daily lives at the mercy of the whims of these eccentric and usually diametrically opposed guild members. There was *so much* of Ravnican life to see in that block, with the rare planeswalker shenanigan-centric cards being ostensibly the core that you didn’t really need to care about if you didn’t want to. You didn’t really need to know anything about Jace or any other pre-existing characters other than that Jace was a smorty pants and Nicol Bolas was mean. Their backstories and previous travels were irrelevant. You could get in, learn about the characters within the guilds, and become invested in how their stories intertwined with the characters of other guilds and of the Guildless.

I think one of the huge issues with storytelling in recent magic sets is the reduction and eventual removal of blocks; ikoria and eldraine could have had more meaningful and impactful stories with better interactions and fleshed out characters, but they only had one set to tell a story *and* worldbuild *and* be a good set mechanically. The now ever-present commander set tie-ins help with worldbuilding and flavor, but that isn't a replacement for blocks to me, as most of the commander sets don't touch the main story of the set they're based on. There have been some exceptions to the rule of one set 'blocks', like the recent return to Innistrad being a two set block and it was able to tell a more comprehensive and cohesive story than Strixhaven or New Capenna or Neon Dynasty ever could (A valid counterpoint is that Midnight Hunt/Crimson Vow didn't have to 'try' when it came to worldbuilding, as is was the third visit to the plane, but my counter-counterpoint is that for a world that was devastated by the Church of Avacyn's loss and Emrakul's incursion, they seem to have settled back to a status quo pretty easily, with the Church still being corrupt, the necromancers are still necromancing, and the werewolves are back to being seen as strictly evil, regardless of the efforts of Arlinn Kord or the wolfir project).

In my opinion, Lorwyn/Shadowmoor is the most criminally underrated plane in MtG and I was honestly a bit disappointed when they opted to just make diet Lorwyn/Shadowmoor through Eldraine, which is even getting a second visit already, while Lorwyn/Shadowmoor has been relegated to the occasional supplemental product. (I'm only 30 minutes in, so I apologise if any of this comes up later in the video and I'm just being redundant)

Hey Spice, Rhystic studies doesn't have a trademark on comparing Magic to paintings and other art pieces in a more typically academic style, that whole Lorwyn/Goya bit was very interesting and as someone who hadn't heard of his works before, I appreciated getting introduced! I get it was probably done with a mostly sarcastic tone, but as is often the case when people use self deprecating humour I find it hard to tell the line between "just kidding" and "I actually feel this way" 😅 Just saying, I'd hate to miss out on more artistic comparisons and opportunities to get exposed to artists and artworks I'm unfamiliar that you might be able to offer, just because it isn't NFL corn meme.

All of the Hideaway lands have direct creatures in Shadowmoor even to the point where they are referenced in the art. The Spinerock Knoll is a knoll in the shape of a dragon. Look to the bottom right of the card art, its a dragon head. These lands were designed to become creatures when the plane switched. Also thank you you Spicy Beast for making a 2 hour video on Lorwyn, it is also my favorite set because of its twee-ness, imaginative world building, and gorgeous art. You are the best and continue to make my favorite magic content

Did you notice that each Lorwyn hideaway and it's corresponding Shadowmoor creature art is done by the same artist. There is no way they didn't know the future set of darkness in Shadowmoor and have the pieces for the creature in the picture of the hideaways (your seeing the head in the knoll as an example). if you look at the troll, the hands/arms are the trees on both sides of the bridge, where the body is more rocky like the actual bridge. This is actual brilliance and even further enhances the whimsical feel of both sets. Magic needs more of this.

Lorwyn is a set that is dear to me.

@Motleydoll123 Жыл бұрын
Kind of agree. Imagine a second trip to lorewyn being one where there has been a subtle or noticeable shift between its usual bright and happy form and it's more shadowy otherside. Maybe induced by the presence of a rogue planeswalker who attempts to 'fix' the strange imbalance within the plane only for it to go catastrophic wrong, leading into a kind of bleeding effect where the darker and lighter sides of the plains form start to mix with consequences that affect its inhabitants and the visitors, leading to new heroes within lorewyn and its shadowy darkside needing to rise up combat the chaos brought about by meddling hands. Even after resolving the situation, twilight pockets still persist where a blend of both sides of lorewyn exist simultaneously, ensuring even after the balance is fixed, neither side is completely unaware of the other. As for who plays antagonist to this story, I would go with a character who would be normally heroic but who's potential lack of understanding of the plane and its dual nature leads to disaster. Like they enjoy lorewyn, have it suddenly flip to its darker side, think it has been corrupted or tainted by evil, and try to force it back to lorewyn while it's in its darker form. The resultant cascade fucks the balance, leading to they shadow form creatures rampantly flying out of control on the lorewyn side and lorewyn creatures then getting stranded and victimized within the shadowy other side of the plane. You get the idea.

Getting into magic I stumbled onto Shadowmoor from the Pumpkin king, wonder what set gave such badass art.

I still have 6.5 onward left, but I wanted to comment on what you said about Gryffid: for years now I've been able to quote the flavor text of Disperse by heart because it's one of my favorite humorous flavor texts. I had no idea until today he was a central character in the story. And oddly enough I like that. I think it's great that pre-Odyssey/post-Origins story is easily accessible to people who only engage with the cards. But when they're kept separate, you allow story fans a reward for engaging with the game beyond a cursory level (like when you read the tags on a Spice8Rack video). I guess that's just because I like being able to say "Did you know?", which I suppose is just egotism. But I also like when characters are allowed to exist without obligating that some Commander is made for them. I'll close out by saying I'm well aware that someone like me shouldn't be allowed anywhere near creative control for Magic story.
