The Last Day Outside Duskmourn

[@silvermyr]

I might read some more of the Duskmourn stories. Which would you like to hear?

[@unseeliedream42]

My favorite for this set was Keep Them Alive

[@SeraSmiles]

Children of the carnival part 1 is such a great piece of short horror by itself

[@AlledThundes]

haha "read by Silver Myr" I love you mate. Also, I knew you had a good voice for narration, thank you for making this.

[@himboghost629]

Love that "house" stops being "a house". The word becomes a name of a fungus with technology as it's spores

[@neminem233]

“Name of a fungus with technology as its spores” goes fucking crazy

[@GFreeGamer]

I could listen to you read for ages. Great voice! I really did like the fact that elves had existed on Duskmourne, it helps the plane feel more... Magic.

[@Pimpulus]

excellent read, ty! i am honestly more than surprised by how much i like the story of "house" swallowing the world. if only the cards would treat the setting with the same level of seriousness instead of nostalgia references and puns all the time. duskmourne could be sooo fkn cool (and interesting) and this story gives us a taste of what couldve been.

[@lloydnoid6506]

I wish the survivors in the cards themselves felt more like... well, survivors. I dont want my horror survivor commander to wield a magitech hammer and gun, i want him to be desperately clutching the firepoker he found, or swinging his crowbar wildly at an oncoming beast. Ill probably just buy singles from the more monster-y cards like the Jolly Balloon Man or Vagavoth himself.

[@antongrigoryev6381]

Well, the House has been around for about a century as I understood, so for anyone to survive that long they should have meaningful and effective ways to fight back. I honestly don't mind the ghostbuster-style tech in general, it's just the more specific details of its design and the design of the survivor outfits that are the problem.

[@callumbyrne4263]

This was amazing! I was a little sad we didn't get an 'oficial' reading from WOTC for the other storys so its great that you stepped up for this one

[@TonyRockOn1864]

Very cool read, I like this take on unknown horror. An entire plane consumed by a house, landscapes splitting seamlessly into liminal spaces. The concept of environment shattered into floors, doors, walls, windows, ceilings. The sun eclipsed by the mundane, spiraling rooms with no end.

[@fluffy14sweet]

It's honestly surprising just how well the horror writing for this set works in comparison to the lackluster 80's stylings of the survivors on the cards.

[@SeraSmiles]

The writers did such a great job with stuff like this or 'children of the carnival' & then maybe a third of the art is absolute genius while the rest feels like an insult

[@AlvarM]

Maybe read and listen to the rest of the stories and how they get inspiration from other eras

[@gspoiler]

I feel like this is a story about Gregory House becoming an all encompassing eldritch being.

[@born2getbizy]

Calling it "House" just makes me think of a Hugh Laurie wandering around the plain diagnosing it with lupus

[@notanobviouschoice]

My fave mtg story of the last decade me thinky. Like, maybe the Jace Origin story is on this level or the Ixilan story but god DAMN they should just get Mira to write it all going forward. I thoroughly enjoyed her MKM story too.

[@Pandora_The_Panda]

Yah, the ixalan story was sooo good!

[@Khyrberos]

Thanks for reading this; i usually rely on the readings they provide but they didn't do one for this, and i actually forgot it existed! Gratzi

[@MagusFlorren]

Hey you’re good at this man.

[@szadec9264]

This was awesome! Great story and great interpretation!

[@randomaether]

this is just, the horror in this set is so so so so good, I really hope they just dont beat House, they scape maybe, scarred but the House is left there, growing, prowling into new world, like Phyrexia.....

[@christopherb501]

They didn't; just narrowly escaped after crippling a lesser projection of Valgavoth. Also there might be some seepage into Ravnica. Maybe.

[@3ndlessL00p]

Yeah omenpaths should be bad news for any plane connected to Duskmourn

[@gillablecam]

That's a beautifully written story, damn

[@CosmicErrata]

The house always wins.

[@xavierlanglands9486]

The fact this plane has such cool lore just makes me that much sadder it's been relegated to a cringe 80's throwback set. It's hard to feel the genuine dread this concept instills when you're looking at goofy ghostbuster equipment and literal aliens.

[@Pimpulus]

facts

[@obadijahparks]

The 80s sucked, but the idea could have worked if applied well enough. This was a hot mess.

[@Pimpulus]

@@obadijahparks agree, and tbf, there still is a lot that is incredible imo, some of the artwork, some flavor text. and the 80ies aesthetics arent the real problem, its the implied "wink wink" that many cards seem to have

[@christopherb501]

I look at it this way. House allows for particular movements and cultural strains to crop up, that provide false hope to prevent fear from stagnating into less appetizing despair. And as a demon of greed, it's easier to fall back on particular ideas - rehashing tropes and remaking them, as it were - than to truly create something new or to foster it in others. If anything, the presence of this derivative BS only better serves how the demon operates and embodies the true character of the American 1980s, that we STILL haven't gotten away from.

[@noradi123]

I was wish for this back when the set was preview at ge con :(, sorry

[@styrax7280]

beautifully narrated! For me, the story sadly excedes my suspension of disbelief (again). I feel the house would have worked better as a pocket plane.

[@randomaether]

I think that The House would make a fantastic Horror themed RPG campaign, be it DND or something else, it just oozes flavour

[@3ndlessL00p]

Easiest way to adapt it imo would be to play a game of Dread set in Duskmourn. And let the cards inspire the monsters that kill your players

[@101stumphead]

The concept: a plane where a houae possessed by a demon expanded and slowly devoured the world, creating sniggtmarish hellacape for the denizens trapped inside The execution: whoa daaamn Daniel, you remeber that meme? Also do you like ghost busters? How about giant imaginary friends??😊

[@alexwenner5746]

Godddd this set has the best narrative. I finally listened to MKM because it shares an author and unsurprisingly also incredible writing. Just also didn’t carry over to the cards

[@ty_sylicus]

Wow. This house demon is such a terrible thing! Also, if the world has been consumed by a house, is there no way to reach the roof? Though only darkness would remain outside... dreadful.

[@sayitdd]

I saw a lost Silver Myr at the end, please save it. he is cute.

[@Itachi45481]

These last 2 sets deserved more stories especially side stories actually just more story we got so little we need more heck even thunder junction actually now that I think of it

[@3ndlessL00p]

I think MtG should just take a break from overarching stories across sets with the same few Planeswalker protagonists and tell plane-specific stories for a while instead.

[@L1v3W1r3d]

Mr. Euclidian geometry, I don't feel so good.

[@askani21]

Duskmore stories are great! And great reading, Mister Argentum Myr :)

[@AlvarM]

Thanks for the reading! You did an amazing job ❤

[@jokerlover300]

Great listen, are you planning on covering he other side stories?

[@silvermyr]

Cheers! And I don't think I'll do all of them, but I might do the Beastie story. It did a great job reinjecting the mystery back into them

[@andrewdiaz3529]

This moth house so compelling. Once theyre done with whatever dragon nonsense theyre doing, they should have Val just eating worlds in the background

[@neminem233]

We might owe Duskmourn an apology, we weren’t familiar with their game

[@Death2010]

I second this notion. Though I was far more amenable to the idea, the more I have seen of it the more I like it.

[@BugManiacRoy]

After hearing the story I totally fell in love with the plane. I can't wait to see more of Valgavoth

[@ryanwalker5723]

Getting some Black House vibes from this set.

[@bluefett1784]

Emphasis on the sun. Maybe that'll come into play later in the overall story, taking into account that the inner sun of Ixalan was once coveted by invaders.

[@lancelee338]

Good movie

[@facundogerez7570]

The house always wins

[@ty_sylicus]

The house grew a tower tall enough to.... eat one of the suns?! Umm... okay. 🤨

[@thesmilyguyguy9799]

: )

[@Feralhyena]

I'm going to be scouring the web for proxies of this set, cuz the story was good,but I can't stand the art choices.

[@ZrinNZ]

Such a good story, surrounded by a pathetic set

[@robertotenreiro]

Your videos are great bro, but can't say I liked the reading of the story though...

[@hobobeard]

I did not expect this to be a reading of a short story and had I known it was beforehand, I would not have clicked on it. I have no interest in readings and would have preferred anything else. In future, don’t. Or, at the very least, make it an unlisted upload and alert people via social media media so that it doesn’t appear in our subscription feeds.

[@proxyaskew]

"in future, don't" "i have no interest in readings" people like you are genuinely incredible in how self-important you are. no one cares what you think.

[@silvermyr]

My deepest apologies! I can't believe my carelessness caused you the irreversible pain of clicking on a video you don't want to watch. In future I'll be sure to tailor my channel's content to your exact specifications sire

[@broaderatlas]

@hobobeard C'mon man. The first 2 seconds of the video would have cleared up any misconceptions you might have had about what the video was going to be about before clicking on it. At most it cost you about 5 seconds. It's almost like you're implying that you wish you hadn't contributed to the view count. Rest assured, clicking on a video and then clicking off it doesnt help a video's analytics, it hinders it. Commenting helps though.

[@wowdudethanks7962]

Let me tell you guys something about @hobobeard - After a good game of Arena, i added him because he seemed like a cool guy. We got chatting, over the next couple of months we became good friends. Lots of banter, lots of great Commander, Arena and most importantly true friendship. I invited him to my house for a mtg themed party. He said he was coming so i was looking forward to meeting him in real life. When he arrived at my house, he pushed me against the wall and started nibbling my ear, i felt his hard ♥♥♥♥ push against my leg. I punched him and then tapped him irl. Don't trust this guy.

[@hobobeard]

@@wowdudethanks7962I don't play Arena. Whatever pornbot
