Vampire GOD and Deadly SECRETS!?! | The Lost Caverns of Ixalan Lore

[@AetherHub]

Lets ship off to Ixalan! I'm excited to return to this plane. The OG Ixalan was one of my favorite blocks of all time. Did you love Ixalan? Are you excited for our return?? Let me know in the comments :)

[@coopervaughter1440]

Dinosaurs I'm excited for the return of more dinosaurs.

[@coopervaughter1440]

Also Pirates

[@AngelusNielson]

Looking forward to the vampires, as I've been massaging a Elonda brawl deck since the first visit to the plane.

[@coopervaughter1440]

@@AngelusNielson I have no idea what you just said but I believe I understand what you mean the same issue has been going on with me for a dinosaur and also a pirate deck.

[@dirtdealer6813]

Two year player, I've never been there and I'm stoked!!

[@Thoughtmage100]

I can't wait to see what Quintorius does now that he's a Planeswalker. He and the rest of the Strixhaven student MCs have had my attention ever since the invasion of New Phyrexia.

[@Halsfield]

just want to say there are a lot of lore channels out there and this is still the best one

[@pelusoft]

It's nice seeing my boy Quint so early in one of my favorite planes. The hype is real

[@AetherHub]

He is going to be a BIG part of the story. And not only because he is a Loxodon.

[@tasogarerubica]

I have a soft spot for archeologist and I adore Loxodons as a race in MTG, so I really happy that Quin becoming one of the newer PW to move the narrative along. Also nice to see Stixhaven's WR identity give a different spin to the color match up

[@TheyCallMeDio]

I really like the Jules Vernes references they used Ixalan's worldbuilding

[@AetherHub]

It’s chefs kiss

[@gavinleavell9296]

It's great to see Ixalan again. The tribal setting attracts more people than what many may believe. I'm really invested into hearing more stories of these tribes conflicts with each other 🤓

[@flamedragon07]

I think i pulled his card from a prerelease kit. In my opinion. He pretty good. He's similar to Ajani Varient. I don't know what to build him in. I received suggestions of a cast from exile deck. I am still thinking about it. Still a good card in my opinion.

[@mack-h-2019]

You work so hard on your videos for us! Thank you for your service 😍

[@mega2009man]

My boi! Quint is off to an exciting start. Unfortunately, the story doesn't match up to old Ixalan, but rushed stories will never compare. No matter how good. They really need to return to two set story blocks. Even if the sets remain singles, they need more fleshed out stories. Still this story was very good

[@STS-qi1qy]

I enjoy the Mycotyrant - this is the kind of threat we need more often. Dangerous enough to threaten the plane but not a 'endanger the entire multiverse' threat. Though I suspect the Coin Empire will sadly fall into the latter now that they're awakening.

[@zeichen95]

I love the lore of this plane in Magic, with some connection to the previous events.

[@matthewwasser5621]

I'm glad to return to Ixalan. I wonder how, when someone travels to a new plan, they can understand the local language(s) of the plan. Maybe you can do a video explaining theories about that.

[@delllee4915]

I for one can't wait to return to Ixalan. That mysterious corpse could possibly come back alive in its full glory, and then it could try to destroy the Sun Empire, only to get its ass beat by Zacaama. I'd pay to see that.

[@Malefor666]

Loving the Camazotz-equivalent being part of the lore! I never really looked at Ixalan before and now I can’t wait to check out this set!

[@coopervaughter1440]

I like how they gave us three of the four main groups descending into the caverns.

[@AetherHub]

Oh I’m sure Merfolk are coming don’t worry ;)

[@coopervaughter1440]

Yippee

[@origaminosferatu3357]

YAY dinos and Aztecs 2, electric boogaloo!! This set is so up my alley.

[@nwc2392]

I'm really excited for the vampires. I do enjoy playing an aristocratic deck and I'm excited to have new pieces for my decks. Also, I'm hoping that the new alter would be a good sac outlet to use.

[@MrSkabrus]

I kinda like when the protagonist knows where they are and has some information instead of wandering like an idiot

[@nobodie9996]

These are great, always wanted to learn more about Ixalan.

[@zeropoint2594]

I really like that they actully use the temple of alcazotz which was a card in the of Ixalan Block but didn´t really have a story but foreshadowed the existance of gods on Ixalan then if you think about it Ixalan has gods that werent shown before same for Ravnica with the Raze Boar (and other Gods which were only mentioned in a flavortext on a card) it makes me wonder if maybe all worlds have gods but they are mostly forgotten or dissapeared

[@henryterhune8328]

Psyched for this!

[@james22022]

Really excited to come back to Ixalan. Hoping that the Omengates will allow fun Indian Jones type shenanigans from treasure hunters around the realms in supplemental products. It's one of the few realms that I think are substantially helped by the introduction of the Omenpaths since the world kind of seem flat to start with.

[@Helmer54]

All aboard the hype train! Cho cho

[@AetherHub]

Oh it’s chugging through!!!

[@alanlynn3610]

Where is the background music from? Arena Beta?

[@shanonkallhoff2431]

For the Blood Empire! :)

[@francoallieri51]

Am I the onlyone that gets motion sickness with some of the efects? Beside that, nice work, as always.

[@raydelmartinez2905]

It's lore time once again.

[@floppydisk4500]

Is the moving image at 15 minutes AI? It's clipping really badly at the top

[@thetwiggiest2670]

Just came back after an absence from magic and wanted to catch up starting here on one of my favorite returns. However I can't say I'm a fan of the gyrating images, kind of hurts my eyes.

[@houndoom73]

I heard somewhere that this story takes place one year after the phyrexian invasion. Is that true? If so why did we have such a long time skip?

[@BensonMTG]

So how did Saheeli get to Ixalan? Kept her spark? Omenpath? bad writing ?

[@theflailips1013]

Most likely she still has her spark.

[@AetherHub]

Either still has her spark OR she went to be with Hautli before the Pruning happened. And she’s now stuck there.

[@STS-qi1qy]

Omenpath - it's revealed in the side story.

[@fiendishmia506]

i'd either improve or cut the use of AI art here. it was fine until around 14:45

[@Walter-fc3uq]

Wrong Malcom, they're talking about the Malcom from Jurassic park...

[@obadijahparks]

What's next? The flamingo world that spins around the massive cup of eternal sparkiness? In all seriousness, I'm just not seeing the consistency over the past few years; let's hope they've (the writers) figured things out.

[@whimsighoul4266]

Sparkling vampires no less. May be sparkling Dino’s too. 😛

[@benjamingerthung3671]

I wonder how qwint knew saheeli

[@Hundo_Mo]

I am excited to be going hack to Ixalan but not excited about Quint being the main character.

[@Urabrask]

His whole thing is lore smh

[@AetherHub]

I like it personally I want see his character grow.

[@Urabrask]

@@AetherHub I hope this Coin Empire leads to something before the age of Urza and Mishra

[@rikley8153]

Too bad merfolk don't play a great role in this story

[@AetherHub]

Not this chapter. I’m sure they’re coming though!

[@georgepapapa8552]

Those slow mooving pictures you use now makes it realy hard to watch the video for me...

[@AetherHub]

Understood thanks for the feedback! I’m considering no longer using them based on comments like this!

[@rafaeldasilva2042]

Cool story but the animations spinning around are dizzying 😵‍💫

[@AetherHub]

I need to see if others say the same thing!

[@necrogenesis1981]

I thought planeswalkers don’t exist anymore after Phyrexia?

[@yukishy7060]

Few planeswalkers survived the great pruning

[@AetherHub]

They exist. But many of them lost their sparks. Many but not all.

[@AetherHub]

Correct!!

[@coopervaughter1440]

Huatli was one of the many that lost their spark

[@TheyCallMeDio]

Nope. Some Planeswalkers still has their Spark Did u miss Wilds of Eldraine by any chance? Ashiok is literally the villain there

[@darkwolf780]

Yay, more dino's we don't need.....this is feeling more like a fast paced yugioh now with all these Dino's. all we need is a Dragon that's White with blue eyes and a Magician of Dark Magic

[@AetherHub]

Honestly I would laugh and appreciate the meme at that point.

[@hrdwrkngXsoldier]

don't call them great. they have sold their brand and their IP off in trade for Universes Beyond. Their IP could be rich and wonderful, but it is more profitable to use marvel.

[@AetherHub]

I try not to take away from the writers what is done on the corporate side.

[@j.m.3600]

The art in the thumbnail really evokes Jesus Christ and his neck being slit. To me that's summarily indicative of the state of magic these days which is why I don't buy anything from wizards anymore.

[@AetherHub]

Well I hope you can enjoy the story (and my videos) none the less :)

[@Crusina]

Why are you here then....

[@dirtdealer6813]

Assuming you've bought mtg cards in the past and are sore from WOTC, wanna sell your collection?

[@BensonMTG]

Why is that your line? When was Jesus’ neck slit? According to the fairy tales (the Bible) he was stabbed in his side with a lance and crucified, wore a crown of thorns and whipped in between. Moreover, why are you playing this game at all? Have you seen the older MTG cards art?

[@j.m.3600]

@@BensonMTG it’s my line because I’m a Christian and a customer. The older cards were respectful to their influences unlike this style which is abhorrent for obvious reasons that I won’t get into out of respect but everyone knows it look at the PR over the last few years. Do you think they would depict Kaya in this way?
