I mean it can be hard to determine what April 1st video is really worth watching, isn't it?
They can vary SO MUCH in quality between each other!!
But FEAR NOT!

The 3rd part of the Academy Acclaimed* and Highly Praised*... "DOG OF WISDOM" Saga!!
* Citation Needed
Have an Happy April Fools Day!!!
Out for a few days next week
Hello there everyone!
I just wanted to inform you all that I'll be on a small trip from the 11th of March to the 15th and may not be able to answer any messages during those 5 days...
Hope you understand....
Apparantly The Attic Gamer is venturing into his own Multiverse as we see an Alternate Reality where the Attic Gamer and friends are women!!
Felt it is funny to have found a actress how can mimic his manurisms and expressiveness very well....
"Wait... Magic the Gathering has a STORY?!!!" I hear you asking.....
Well Yes Indeed!!!
... at least it had until WoTC realised they could just print cupboard lil pieces based on OTHER IPs like they are doing now with Dr.Who, Stranger Things and Fallout instead of bothering with a Story of their own....
I mean it's not for nothing they manage to make full Expansive Sourcebooks for D&D based on some of the worlds they originally invented for MTG...
I mean Ravnica, Theros...
...Strixheaven ... *shudders*
There was ( and still are) quite creative authors who contributed to that big BIIIIG Multiverse that existed LOOOOONG before Marvel made Multiverses cool!!!
So if you have over an Hour of free time to listen to some Nerdy Lore ( I do like my dose of Nerdy Lore!!! ) , well I got the video for you!!!
Personally, I started the game and bought my first few cards around the First Ravnica Set, back circa 2003 and I sporadically came fall out and came back to it again years later from time to time and I didnt followed a lot the story before this video...
But from what I have seen, after Amonkhet story and the conclusion of the Nicol Bolas/ War of the Spark storyline, it kinda went to sh*t... (IMO)
Strixheavens was a bore;
Eldraine had potential but was wasted;
Then they just recycled Planes they already made... like a THIRD OR FOURTH Ravnica set and a Second Theros set not even 5 Years after it was made...
Kamigawa SHOULD have stayed Medieval Japan themed and NOT tried to be "Shadowrun/ Magic Cyberpunk".... ( Personal Opinion)
Kinda Liked Capenna personally; it was weird to look at the concept at first but they kinda make it work... at least aethetic wise...
And then they just... Used already Existing IPs...
D&D was a "No-Brainer" ( both WoTC properties and D&D already made the crossover on their side so might as well making it both ways)....
LoTR makes SOME Sences... it's One of the Biggest Fantasy IP of all time ( heck! it's the BUILDING BLOCKS of Modern Fantasy)
Warhammer 40k make kinda sences when you realised that most Tabletop Gaming Clubs/Associations probably have people playing both Warhammer and Magic so might as well fused the 2 together....
and even then, mood/theme-wise, it was a HUGE stretch...
.... But.... Really?!!!
...Dr.Who?
... Fallout?
... Stranger Things?
... Assassins Creed?
WTF do ANY of those Franchises have anything to do with Fantasy or Sorcery or... well... MAGIC?!!!
If I have to make a suggestion that would ACTUALLY MAKE MORE SENCES....
...Maybe we could have "Dark Crystal" instead?....
Would fit way better...
I bet SkekSil the Chamberlain could make a GREAT Blue or Blue/Black Commander Card....
Happy Valentine Day to You
I mentionned this fact multiple time over the years but, personally, I do not Celebrate Valentine Day...
Not just because I am alone but MOSTLY because it is also my Dead Brother's Birthday...
... kinda kills the mood....
But I DO KNOW that it is an important day for some people and I do not want to take this away from them...
I guess just... dont expect me to EVER do celebratory pics for that Holiday ( cant even be consistant enough to make pics for Holidays that I DO LIKE to Celebrate!!)
JUST MISSED THE YEAR OF THE DRAGON CELEBRATION THING!!!
But I digress...
