i just realized something. it seems like gods are being introduced in basically all the realms we go to. is it possible there is a pantheon of gods who oversee the multiverse? perhaps the eldrazi are these gods and they consume planes to prevent growth from being too rapid?

[@DragonspineInfiniteZero]

Edgar: YAAAAAAWN! Maids, Fetch me my robe! No response Edgar: MAIDS DO NOT MAKE ME ASK A SECOND TIME! Edgar sits up puzzled at the stillness and quiet Edgar: Hello, Anyone? He saunters up the stairs into a dark room of the manor Edgar: Where the hell is everyone?! And why'd it so Bloody dark?! Edgar grouchily rummages through a near by desk draw and finds a old flint lock pistol used to light candles. But once he finds it and a candle to light Edgar: WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?! Shock at the sight of his manor warped with family encased in the stone He then spots a figure coming down the stairs, his grandson sorin Edgar: Sorin What happen to the manor, our bloodline,our... Sorin stops him and sits at the base of the steps Sorin: Grandfather, ... it was my fault. Edgar: What? Sorin: After my trasformation i became a planeswalker and saw both wonders and horrors, possiblities and fates that i never thought possible but then i worried for my home innastrad and how our privilage has blinded us and made us gluttons for blood. Edgar: Blinded? Sorin: Yes, in most planes i saw conflict brought about by an imbalance and though here vampirism brought some balance, our vampiric bloodlust and gluttony would be the end of humanity and of ourselves; so i took iniciative and created an angel to curb our kin and it did work..., but everything changed why SHE CAME! Edgar: She? Sorin: Another walker from a place called zendikar named Nihiri who i'd helped seal world eaters away with, she sent a distress signal that the seal was cracking, i had not recived said signal due to my own safeguard against outer threats and after she fixed the seal she stormed to me demanding awnsers, and i had to seal her for she was becoming unreasonable, but when she got out she caused a coup in the humans and then angels hunted humans and worst of all the titan was summoned by nihiri and nearly devoured innastrad but now after we'd won nihiri's vanished and the vampire houses are planning on what to do next...

I have lots of respect for the Stromkirks, you need sustainability in your food and a prosperous society.

[@DragonspineInfiniteZero]

I just know that when a stormkirk sets up a human for tapping it’s like a casual event like the humans hooked up being siphoned and it’s like Human: So how’s the fishing trade? Stormkirk: Good it’s good, heard they gods a hefty haul of blue gills and mahi mahi Human: Ah, you know my wife has a wonderful recipe for smoked mahi mahi Stormkirk: Really? Well you’ll have to let me try it sometime.

[@alfiobonanno5100]

@@DragonspineInfiniteZero That sounds morbidly delightful.

[@DragonspineInfiniteZero]

@@alfiobonanno5100 I mean when you live in a plane in a … providence(?) where vampire and human relations are so seemless and chill you wonder how everyone else can’t get along. Though it probably has to do with the superiority complex that comes with vampirism except now you’ll die to wood, silver, sunlight, tuning water and most other things that kill humans it might take longer but it’ll still get ya, really aside from the powers vampires are that different to humans

A ship war I can get behind.

[@blackwingdragonmasta]

Given that the voldarens and markovs are seen as the most powerful bloodlines I don't see that happening. Edgar literally created innistrad vampires in the lore so I don't think any vampire would try to fuck with him. After all he's the uncle of the man who created avacyn.

Glad to hear! It’s funny I don’t go for long necessarily. There’s just so much to talk about!

[@kromagrog]

@@AetherHub well I love them and I'm always excited for the next ones.

[@nabrzhunter]

I can’t handle this season. It’s so incredibly exciting. I forgot about the twelve bloodlines - I’d be interested to see maybe a couple return, and maybe some grotesque downfall stories not unlike Falkenrath. Which, speaking of Falkenrath, it would be fantastic to see their attempt to return to greatness fail miserably again. A story of depravity and endless striving and failing by a delusional and self-aggrandizing nobility would be a one I would drink up. On the other hand, taking Sorin’s temperature, and Olivia’s movements, I’m getting big Hamlet vibes with this upcoming season. I have high hopes that he may take one more shocking stand for the salvation of the plane and kill Edgar, not only thwarting Olivia’s schemes and getting his revenge for her betrayal of him, but also accomplishing final revenge against Edgar for his abuse and corruption, specifically of Sorin himself.

[@joeygallagher6305]

12 bloodlines ??? Omg I can’t!!!

[@piercearora7681]

I'm from the future, and sadly, they didn't have the balls to kill Edgar.

[@nabrzhunter]

@@piercearora7681 I’m back from the past looking like a hungover shadow of my former self. Shadows over Innistrad? How about Shadows Under My Eyes. Both sets were so sadly under imagined, unoriginal, and broadly meaningless. Not even a nod to Tesseya, Davriel Cain, the unnamed Angel, Rom, or any of the other great Kessigers that had lore that followed the Travails. The only bright spot was the short starring Thalia and Odric. And you’re right, what an absolutely pathetic opportunity to effect actual change in the story…but no. Sad.

[@felixrivera895]

So Wizards recognized that 1 set per setting was a Bad call and makes it harder to tell stories through the cards

[@revshad4226]

No, they just split this one into two because it sells more that way. They don't care about story they care about money.

[@henryterhune8328]

Didn't disappoint. Thank you, mate. I'm stoked for this set. Nervous about which existing legendary character MARO suggested would return but as a vampire this time.

[@DragonspineInfiniteZero]

Let's remember nihiri went to innastrad summoned emrakul and warped markov manor and killed all within because of a misunderstanding, and at no point is she shocked at the fact zendikar is still alive and kicking she murdered thousands, started a coup that lead to an angel falling from grace and potetially destroy a plane and what does she do when she sees it was all for nothing.... she shrugs like mother in law screaming at you for forgetting that all important dried ginger she NEEDS only to find it in the bag she was already looking in a minute later

[@starknight2262]

I'm actually more interested in hearing about this god of the sea. If done right it could be something really good. We don't really hear abou their being gods on Innistrad like we do on other planes. So I'm wondering if it is a real god or not ? Or does it have to do with the creature on the card called the thing in the ice ? Either way i hope they do something with this so called God of the seas.

[@MrCadaaa]

Absolutely great of a video! 😊 I personally didn’t know there use to be 12 vampire houses so it would be nice to learn about what happened to those others and if they survived or are making a resurgence during CV. Some of the already teased legendary vamps seem to point to something happening that I can’t wait to see as we go forward and if the stain glass mural of the wedding is a good indication, it’s a plan that will have some serious consequences if it does happen.

[@pelusoft]

Nice! Just in time! Thanks for the lore. Previously I only payed attention to the lore Markov bloodline, this video was very enlightening for me. Great work 👍🏼

[@AetherHub]

Voldaren for me. Gimme that opulence and debauchery :D

[@_claymore]

I was very disappointed about the whole Sorin v Nahiri plotline, as I found it very dumb and forced in parts. but what was most jarring is that WotC just didn't give a flying fuck about it and never properly told their story and what's going on. we got a single card during War of the Spark about the two, showing that they fought each other again during the war whilst the other planeswalkers fought Bolas, but that's it. then we somehow jump directly to Nahiri back on Zendikar doing stuff and absolutely no conclusion to her previous feud against Sorin - and nobody seemingly cares about her bringing the goddamn Eldrazi to Innistrad, basically being the catalyst to a plane-wide genocide. and now with Midnight Hunt, we are back on Innistrad and the one single glimpse we get of Sorin is that of a completely different vampire. he seemingly doesn't care about Nahiri anymore, he doesn't care about Innistrad anymore and he doesn't care about what Olivia is doing? what? I get that him having to unmake Avacyn hit close to home, plus Nahiri pulling her bullshit, but this sudden shift in character doesn't fit at all. especially considering that when Nahiri trapped Sorin in stone (before WotS) Olivia took the Parasyte Blade from him, but during WotS he has it back AND it was confirmed that Sorin took the sword back from Olivia. so apparently he didn't feel that defeated to just let her have her way. so why does he let her now? the whole Midnight Hunt part with Sorin felt very forced and uncharacteristic of him. I can let is slide a bit, since he is "grieving" over Avacyn, sure, but it just doesn't feel like Sorin to me. also Arlinn somehow being able to stand up to Sorin's fury? she got hit by the Parasyte Blade too, so she should just drop dead at the spot given the sword's properties, but obviously that's not gonna happen and is just lazy writing. so far I'm pretty disappointed again. I was really hoping that WotC would finally give us some solid conclusions for Sorin in some form and let him have a spotlight again, but it seems they dropped the ball again. there's still Crimson Vow, potentially giving Sorin a couple cool moments, but for some fucking reason we get more exposition of fucking Chandra who has no business on Innistrad altogether than we get of Sorin who is basically the poster-boy of the goddamn plane.
