Wilds of Eldraine COMPLETE Story | Magic: The Gathering Lore

[@joaocisne556]

Oko being a deadbeat dad is so funny to me (I read the lore as it came out)

[@AetherHub]

It’s really on point for his character. Although he cared enough about his baby mama to kidnap the high king and try to kill him lol

Bro was too busy breaking standard to spend time with his son

[@samtheactualkenku6205]

I don't hate this story, but man, they keep FORCING a rift between the twins. Like there was no build up, just suddenly Rowan starts acting more brash and abrasive and Will is left wondering how this could happen, because we don't see the reasoning either (especially on Strixhaven)

[@justinclement7211]

The thing is that the lore/story writers for WOTC havnt been good in a very long time and "Twins have fight" is very easy to write so that's what they do.

[@jacobdominguez916]

How tf is Rowan still so unhinged and have so much angest against Will?! SHE LITERALLY BLEW HIS LEG OFF BEFORE AND HE STILL SEES HER AS FAMILY?!?!

[@gergernzero6904]

A lost of a spark is a big lost and her raw compaction to red mana dose not help. Add a lost of family and will throw himself into trying to help the land and not her it is understandable.

[@anactualanimal]

The worst thing about rowan is nothing she did actually helped

[@AetherHub]

Not at all. She really thought making everyone sleep was the best solution? She’s against it in 1 sentence. Then ok with it the next. Really needed more here to make it believable.

[@EclipseWarlord]

Rowan doesn't feel like a real person with how she's presented.

"Maybe Kellan's father was a strapping faerie knight... *uhh, just the first part* ...or perhaps a cunning mage!" *yeah, all of that.*

[@tntkaboomsky7427]

you know if we were to force the twins to grow apart I really wished that they used Ashiok a little bit more. Since they have always been curious about the power dreams and nightmares have , I would have written that Rowan had been subtly influenced by Ashiok by making her paranoid to "coerce" her into working with him. Idk but it is intriguing to have Ashiok as the big bad of the next arc since they are kind of nebulous and just wants to research

[@nateperkins9860]

I like that Rowan is doing this of her own volition and it isn't like a crazy manipulation.

[@lewispatton6550]

I think I'm tired of "Red Mage impulsive, so they do bad thing based on emotions". Also frustrating to see Rowan and WIll devolve into this mess after all their character development.

[@AetherHub]

Yeah it was bad enough with Lukka. It’s worse with Rowan because she was raised as a knight essentially. Why would she turn evil just by the mere suggestion of it by a Witch?

Urabrask, red praetor of New Phyrexia certainly was anything but bad, eventually sacrificing his life for what he believed to be the right thing to stand for.

[@wilddragonchase]

thanks! this is a great video. gonna save it into a playlist of Metronome arc story summaries. only thing i want to point out is Eriette's name is pronounced something like "airy-yet".

[@Dustpuma1]

I met the 2 writers at Minneapolis for MTG, I said the writing in the past was bad but it's getting better they reported me lol, Stop writing terribly @wotc

[@kenzodiaze....]

they reported you irl?

[@ThePhoenixSlayer]

I still need rat lore though. What's going on with the rats swarming towns? I can't find anything about Totentanz anywhere.

[@2424-f1c]

Exactly ! Did you find something ?

[@ThePhoenixSlayer]

@@2424-f1c Yes! AetherHub did a video on lord skitter and totentanz a couple weeks ago. Very interesting!

[@belist2]

The twins are dealling with the truama of their parents dieing. Will being blue aligned is dealing with the feeling that without his father he must fill the void in leadership or he is letting him down. Rowan is dealing with survivor's guilt, projecting her self hate for not acting to help her father in his fight, on her brother. Survivor's guilt is a hell of a drug and will cloud all reason until you process those emotions or become a slave to them.

[@mack-h-2019]

Thank you for this lovely video!!

[@GehennaSaga]

Why is Ashiok the main enemy mentioned like twice in this whole story. I hate how it’s constantly just brushed over even though it has been stirring things up for a long time

[@VraskaTheScene]

OKO BEING HIS DAD IS CRAZY!!!!

[@simplysage3562]

Tf why is Rowan so unhinged like i get shes red but why does red always= impulsive aa if other emotions arent a thing we couldve a Rowan whose deeply passionate about saving eldraine and "Cold" and calculating And disillusioned Will who needs Rowan to be his anchor All that chatacter developmemt juat to be a substandard Chandra...

Thanks for watching buddy. Can’t wait for the next story :)

Rowan should cast a dreadbore and target herself, appreciate the lore vid tho 👍

I gotta know dude at what point have you honestly taken that breath and said. "I made it"

[@shawnwilson7355]

Where is graakkar at

[@DarthTUK]

so this is just a supercut of the previous videos?

[@AetherHub]

Yes. Just an easy to find collection for people to catch up on the story especially as we move forward into other stories! What I’ve also done is cut up the section to fit more cohesively. You’ll see in the other videos, the story jumps perspectives. This streamlines it

[@simouniel867]

Rowan frustrates me

[@erinsloan1871]

So hex is oko in disguise right?

[@EclipseWarlord]

LOL that'd be great

[@evantreffinger2009]

I still don’t understand why Rowan wanted to extend the sleeping curse

[@Case2_0]

Have you studied the aftermath of war? Most people want to just go back to before it happened. The sleeping curse allows them to do that permanently

[@DrewHuggins423]

Spoilers for Thunder Junction follow: is this actually Ashiok or is this Jace disguised as Ashiok?

[@Case2_0]

It’s Ashiok. Jace took the form after this story

[@masonking240]

12 videos of asking you to discuss that since the omen paths now exist slivers from all over can travel the multiverse and the hive mind can finally be one!

[@bonaface]

nahhh boring.

[@Alex_the_Mex]

Did we not just have a multiverse-spanning hive mind that came up spectacularly short?

[@The_Metalcrafter]

Idk why people hating on Rowan so much. Her story arch seems pretty well put together to me. She’s not unhinged she’s been emotionally damaged and lost. Wanting to do the right thing just unsure how to. And when given a way by erriette in the way that she feels she’s strongest, not by words but by action, she takes it. Seems like people can’t seem to see passed what’s on the surface of Rowan’s emotions and actions. #standwithrowan

[@evantreffinger2009]

Personally it has more to due with that a lot of her conflict with her twin isn’t actually shown or talked about. We just have to infer what their reasons are. I think it also has to do with WOTC tends to box certain colors into roles. Like every red mage seems to be highly impulsive

[@PhyrexianFleshgorger]

"The wilds of the mary sues" Should have been the title.

[@sticks1990]

Good job narrating. I felt the story was lacking depth tho. Like why were the twins at odds with one another? Because they’re different? Okay

[@evantreffinger2009]

Welcome to WOTC where main characters have conflict because reasons. Oh you wanted to know what those reasons are? Uh because blue and red clash? Sure that makes sense

[@shawnwilson7355]

[@TheDaytontube]

As someone pretty new to magic, Rowan has got to be the most unlikeable character I’ve listened to thus far. No logical thinking at and her emotional reactions don’t even make sense in the grand scheme of things. Just seems like one twin is stuck a child and the other is trying to do everything with out them.

[@sealgairoshea4433]

The writing has been so bad since War of the Spark. I swear their writers are unbearable which pisses me off because I used to like the lore and the stories.

[@EclipseWarlord]

The writing is still mediocre at best

[@Dskinny23]

They don't want to ban them even though they should because they make to much money. It's that simple.
