It was the Pinkertons. WotC sent them after Planeswalkers to take their Sparks.

You could do a whole series on Planeswalker Profiles that talk about their stories. A lot of them are super interesting.

Zhalfir actually phased out of existence because of Teferi’s attempt at protecting it from the phyrexians

as someone who started playing magic like a year ago I love these videos explaining important story parts bit by bit

Urza in a nutshell: "You haven't seen anything, it's about to get worse."

I liked the stories around the Weatherlight crew more than the Jacestice League. I personally think it fits Magic more to have "human" and swashbuckling characters like Sisay and Gerrard than almight superbeings. I still like Planeswalkers, but I'm glad the lore will not focus too much on them in the future.

I like the idea The Mending justifys the same Planeswalker with differing power levels. I also like how sometimes you see Planeswalkers with different colours in their cost as they change over time. Pretty cool, cheers for the video.

I wouldn't mind seeing more episodes about specific Planeswalkers. I also want to know if Planeswalkers have ever encountered Eldrazi or how Planewalkers stack up against them. The lore on the cards seems to imply that if a big Eldrazi shows up in your neck of the woods you can just kiss existence goodbye.

We used to have 2 to 3 sets for a single plane. At least, back when I started. And I think it was at least a year or two between Vorenclex appearing on Kaldhiem, and the conclusion of March of the Machines.

Maybe do a mini-series going over each significant planeswalker (like 5 to 10 per video).

Just to add. What happened to Planeswalkers losing their sparks after New Phyrexia's invasion is officially referred to as the Great Pruning. The official reason for this change in lore is because Wizards of the Coast wants Magic to focus heavily on Commander, so the story reflects on that. So the majority of the story will now mostly focus on beings who are not Planeswalkers. We'll see Planeswalkers like Chandra of course, but the story will not revolve around them entirely.

What about the wanderer?

The time rifts, which is part of the Time Spiral Crisis, was more caused accidently by Nicol Bolas, as oppose to Urza.

While I recognize that The Great Desparking is the official name of the event, I find it very lackluster when compared to the title of The Mending. Heck in aftermath they even had a card that had a better name with Spark Rupture. Why couldn't they call it that?

First time you saw a "Logs" video I pressume XD

for me, the planeswalkers were a key gameplay mechanic that hooked me in to play it because I loved the lore of the character, and being able to own and play them was fun, but taking them/ reducing them out of the game kind of strips away the lore for the card game. like take Yugioh for an explanation take md or Blueeyes out of it wouldn't be fun if you are a Yugi or Kaiba fan. That is just my opinion. just for magic the whole story reveals around these iconic character who wouldn't want to use the min battle I love magic but now it is just all over the place now I am still with Bushiroad TCGS or the new DBZ TCG i like magic characters as being the central focus of the lore and store because they are focused around the m

I'm going to give you a tip: when you see a new name or word you're unfamiliar with, read it out loud once before recording. I'm seriously starting to worry about you. I know Yugioh players can't read, but you're taking it a bit far.

G-horiah?

Planeswalkers were a mistake due to how they are immune to most wraths yet are supposed to be destroyed by creatures.

WoTC: Organic material can't survive travel through the planar bridge. So.... how did Vorinclex get the sap of the world tree back to New Phyrexia? WoTC: Through the planar bridge! Why do you ask? ... no reason, I guess.

6:39 hol up, “ableat”? that means the owner of this channel just mispronounced a normal english word in the script given to him. Has he never seen what “albeit” is spelled like

Always love hearing the lore though it makes no sense.

how the fck do you find a way to misspell EVERY name!!!???!?!?

Although this very post falls for the 'engagement bait' - I would just like to say that from now on, I will stop watching your videos until you stop intentionally mispronouncing the names. I urge other viewers to do the same. Your channel has plenty of fans. You don't need to engage in such cynical and frankly annoying tactics to squeeze a few extra pennies from your videos.

Dislikes until you learn to read.

You have got to be saying these names wrong on purpose to get comments like this about it cause holy shit you said Liliana like three different ways and none of them were right

at this point I'm convinced this guy is mispronouncing things on purpose to drive up viewer engagement

Urza did nothing wrong.

I think Planeswalker mechanics made the game way less fun to play, less intuitive, made the lore less varied, and was a major contributor to power creep . I wish they had never created planeswalker cards.

Eh, I don't think they were really a major contributor to power creep. Like maybe the most significant power creep the game has ever seen, even with Oko and the early days of the FIRE philosophy, was like a year or so before planeswalkers came out. While the early planeswalkers warped the game around themselves and a new busted planeswalker would find its way into the top decks of formats every couple years or so afterwards, as well as the FIRE philosophy giving us War of the Spark, Oko, and some other planeswalker mistakes, if you look at power creep as a whole, I don't think it would've changed much if planeswalkers didn't exist. Something else would've filled the void. Without Oko or War of the Spark, the FIRE philosophy would've still given us Uro and Modern Horizons 2. Also without planeswalkers, we never would've gotten sagas, which I think are among some of the best designs in all of MtG. One of the early design ideas for planeswalkers was exactly what we have for sagas now, but was abandoned for not being thematic enough. The idea played well though, so they found a new theme for the mechanic and updated the visuals.

​@@MrZakuRetro The books weren't any better smh. The lore has always been full of contradictions and things that make 0 sense. Idk when you will realise this but MTG has always been about having themed cards around one thing not lore or lore accuracy. If you look at most sets to even the first set release Arabian Nights it's based on just theming, Arabian Nights barley has any story and is one of the worst planes in terms of that yet was the very first. But it's an amazing plane if you just look at it's theming, cards and importance to MTG history. Now let's look at Innistrad a more recent plane but old now, it's a dark themed plane with just a lot of darkness vampires, undead all the fun stuff. It's amazingly themed for those who love that. Now let's look at the story... Umm Vampire good guy just wanders about trying to make things better but never works out? Cool I guess. Now tbf there is a lot of good lore within Innistrad so let's not be dismissive of that but it was clearly designed on theme first not story. And the Theming of it was better than the overall story. And I can make this point for many sets and planes. Dominaria is probably the only plane that they truly created to be lore centric but all I can say is also Dominaria is were the most retcons and mistakes in the story happen. So shrugs. Hell even brothers war theme is just about artifacts and sure it has a very important story but the point of the set was to show off many cool artifacts. And if you think the brothers war didn't have contradictions then lol.
