What Happened in Time Spiral? | Time Spiral Remastered Lore

[@AetherHub]

Not gonna lie, I’m feeling discourage with my videos lower and lower turn out. Any suggestions on ways to improve the channel or content?

[@Valthoran90]

I love MTG's old lore, I spout it off to my friends that play to give context to many of the cards they own. Your insight and delivery has always been enjoyable and useful and I feel that the weakening and poor usage of lore on the part of Wizard's may be having a detrimental affect upon people's interest and faith in such. I don't really see any failings on your part at all.

[@koanos2448]

Perhaps a deck tech or gameplay? Sorry, not the best at ideas pertaining to the question.

[@auraaetherbladesigma6939]

I think it’s not demographic, and more of the treatment towards lore from wizards that discouraged many viewers. So it’s not you, but it’s the mishandling of the lore the past few years (No thanks to War of the Spark and Theros Beyond Death.)

[@Valthoran90]

@@auraaetherbladesigma6939 yeah, that's what I've been saying.

[@bibliotecaphyrexiana5282]

Don't let anything discourage you; you are doing a great job. I myself had a channel of lore in spanish, and the views a fewer every video, but is fault ofWizards, not of content creators!

[@AnimeProfilePicture]

I have traveled back through my to.e rift to tell you, I love your content and you are still chugging along and doing a great job

[@BarbeChenue]

Very interesting video!! Thank you!

[@DonJuanDecepticon]

Yay new music

[@AetherHub]

Just for you 🥰

[@DonJuanDecepticon]

@@AetherHub aw,shucks 😊

[@cesaramaro6933]

I had no idea Time Spiral even had a story and now I gotta look for novels lol.

[@mprospero]

One of my favorites sets.

[@apjapki]

Even though he was mortal, he still lived 60 years after this without aging a day before he regained his Spark.

[@EvlEgle]

Well he was still a time mage. Ahh, I wish we could have some pre-mending walkers again.

[@apjapki]

@@EvlEgle Why? The card type didn't exist then. It would have no impact on the game at all and with so many, the lore wouldn't make any sense. It's like wanting the amp to go to 11.

[@apjapki]

We actually do have them in the game. Tevesh Szat and Serra both have cards and are pre-mending.

[@YUXKE]

I came into MTG long after these blocks so this is very informative for me

[@AetherHub]

Glad it could be of help 😁

[@walkingdonut1385]

Thanks for the video keep up the good work

[@AetherHub]

I’m trying brother. Trying to get these videos out but fewer and fewer people are being notified :(

[@gunbladeuser19]

The overall *theme* that I liked out of Timespiral is the notion that there are Consequences for misusing and abusing heavy amounts of magical power. Looking at you Urza!

[@goncaloferreira6429]

ah, the good old days when fat packs came with a free novel...

[@michaelbeal1400]

Alright bud, let's talk... your videos are sick. The lore is solid, and your story telling is on point. You gotta Spiff that algorithm though. DNDs Ravnica got a few million people into MTG lore. I got interested in the lore, found your channel, and now I watch every video... and I haven't played MTG in over a decade. Use the community page, send out polls, ask people about future content and watch the numbers go back up. Your channel is awesome, and your fans aren't going anywhere.

[@CustodialDaniel]

This is awesome, out of all the old mtg sets Time Spiral has always intrigued me the most. I love everything about the concept of it and I’m so glad Wizards is returning to it and not Ravnica or Zendikar for the 10,000th time. Also, I thought you should know I’ve been subscribed to you for years now and I very much admire your drive and ambition to keep the channel growing. Your videos have great production quality in that I always get exactly what I thought I would after I jump in. There’s no baiting and no hammy interjections or whatever like some other lore aficionados tend to do in their vids. I think you’ve been doing an excellent job since I first found you however long ago it was. If there is anything I can suggest in the hopes of boosting your reach; shorter videos seem to have a lot of traction on KZbin these days. So running a new series or two like you’ve started with your shorts could help bring more people to the channel. Maybe a top ten list of times when an obscure creature type influenced the plot or some other lore related thingamajig that deviates from the standard history lesson format. It would appeal to us long time subscribers because we’re here for the lore- and it could also grab the attention of people who may not have cared about mtg lore in the past. Unfortunately a lot of Wizards’ writing is quite frankly awful, but I would be amiss not to say that you have made the entire concept of consuming mtg lore palatable for myself and I’m sure many, many others. Keep up the great work broham, we’re all rooting for ya.

[@Ariaoff.Limits]

Thank you!! Loving this look at the Lore of the past!

[@karlwebb4799]

I think you make great high quality content. I would enjoy seeing stories that follow a character rather than by event. MtG lore bounces around alot. It be great to follow the stories of Radha, Venser and Mirri. From origin to current.

[@Valthoran90]

Last time I was this early Time Spiral was just a Sight of the Future to come.

[@AetherHub]

Ohhhh snap 😂

[@Torriotorres]

Radha's ancestor is Astor, a veteran of the Battle in Keld, against the Phrexians. The battle at the Necropolis where the Kheldon dead rose to fight the living. Eldamari and Lin-Shiv fought there too. If i got names spelling or something slightly off, its been a longtime

[@tangomarcial1541]

I think the Shorts are a good addition to the channel. Besides WotC's treatment of the lore's weight, I think KZbin engagement is shifting as more and more content creators try old and new formulas in the same demographic. Some elements of your approach remind me of Rhystic Studies. I know that you'll come up with something to get where your vision of the channel is.

[@AetherHub]

I’ve been doing it for 7 years now. I got no fresh ideas haha 🤷

[@TheMightyBattleSquid]

@@AetherHub that's valid.

[@shadowstalker8823]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Liliana originally from Dominaria ?

[@shadowknight7750]

Yes, She sure is.

[@AetherHub]

Yup you’re right

[@wafflesonfire9716]

I always wondered why mending the rifts made the planeswalkers underpowered, thanks for the awesome explanation

[@apjapki]

The reason for that is not really mentioned here. Teferi giving up his Spark was a special case.

[@donnylurch4207]

I missed out on this arc, so I only got the crib notes before. I knew about the story event that ended "old walkers" and gave way to new "walkers," but it almost felt like the game changed on a meta level at that point and some old lore would be disregarded or reconned, like a softer version of what happened to League of Legends. I can see now just how loyal to that old lore the writers have been, even if quality of storytelling has been rocky for a few years... Dominaria and the re-introduction of Teferi in the contemporary age really helped tie the new and old sagas together.

[@zachoates7791]

Love your videos

[@EvlEgle]

Been almost 2 months, part 2 and 3 when?

[@bebits3173]

DOME-in-area!

[@Squee_666_9]

I may be wrong but I think that time spiraled

[@j-lohome-slice7425]

Mtgs lore is so great And I'm glad magic is looking inward sometimes again. Really brings life to it's og storyy

[@AetherHub]

I love this older stories man

[@Drdslyr]

Eyyy new vid lets goo

[@lukecraig4984]

Did I miss the second part of the final Kaldheim story? I’ve only even seen the first part on the channel and then the simple phyrexian theory video after

[@starknight2262]

Hey Sibien , I have a question for you and a suggestion if you happen to read this comment that is. The question is have you ever played the Flesh and Blood Tcg ? And if so what do you think about it ? And the suggestion is can you do some Flesh and Blood lore videos? Let me know what you think of my suggestion.

[@AetherHub]

I actually havnt but I can check it out 😁

[@starknight2262]

@@AetherHub Ok great. I think you will like it. If you like Diablo and Fighting games then you will like Flesh and Blood because it's like Diablo and fighting games rolled up into one game. It's really fun to play. You should give it a chance.

[@starknight2262]

When did Time spiral come out? I think it was before i got into and started to play Magic. I started playing Magic during the original innistrad block.

[@Valthoran90]

Time Spiral came out in 2006 while I was still in high school. I started in 2010 with Rise of the Eldrazi.

[@geinerelizondo2019]

Time Spiral came out in 2006, Innistrad in 2011

[@darkknight1242]

Innistrad is my favorite set. I loved the innistrad block.

[@AlecJr21]

Great video, as always! Just a little correction on the timeline of events. Karona happened about 200 years after the invasion, it was the plot of the Odyssey and Scourge blocks. This arc was kinda bland and Dominaria stopped being the main stage. The next block/plane was consequently Mirrodin.

[@sethfannin8152]

Stays in Time spiral?

[@jalicea1650]

The first novels I read were the Time Spiral block. Glad to see the story being relevant again and I hope we see the remastered set bring back some of the best story elements of MTG sets, namely the slivers. ;)

[@kingginger3335]

I don't think it's a coincidence that WOTC seems to be remaking the Phyrexian's and Time Spiral is being reprinted. Seems like they're trying to go back to their roots......hopefully that is

[@TheMightyBattleSquid]

That or they just want to cash in on nostalgia real quick like return to return to ravnica.

[@apjapki]

The modern Phyrexians are very different to the Phyrexians of the Invasion block.

[@williamrenouf8867]

I still have the 3 books from this set.

[@TheMightyBattleSquid]

Has this been going on a while? Because from what I understand youtubers have noticed lower turn out every year in the first two months of the year. As for ideas for more turn out, your videos for the past few months have been closer to 18+ min. Have you thought about splitting them up into parts so we have the content more often and not so much of a time commitment?

[@AetherHub]

Funnily enough my wife suggested that exact thing! Maybe something to look into

[@geinerelizondo2019]

I want a Radha (and Rhys by the way) planeswalker card!

[@MackAttack-vh1vz]

First!!!
