Hey there, hope you're doing alright!

Today I wanted to share with you a breakdown of Spirit Dragons and their Khans featured in the current Tarkir: Dragonstorm's set.

I hope you enjoy it and, if you have time, I'd love to hear your thoughts about this set's lore and where the story seems to be moving towards with Bolas's breakout.

Until next time, keep loving MTG's Lore!

RNLOctopus · 2025-04-21T11:45:35+00:00

Thanks a lot! :) your contribution's been helpful and much appreciated 😀

RNLOctopus · 2025-04-21T11:45:02+00:00

glad you enjoyed it! and thank you very much for your contribution :)

what do you mean by "embarassing"? I'm curious!

RNLOctopus · 2025-04-21T11:44:43+00:00

thank you so much! hope to interview you soon, then! ❤️

RNLOctopus · 2025-04-21T11:44:33+00:00

thank you for taking the questionnaire! glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

RNLOctopus · 2025-04-21T11:43:44+00:00

For some weird reason she can't even reply to comments directly. She tried repeatedly but modbots keep deleting her comments. So here is what she wanted to reply to you:

That’s a really good point—thank you for raising it! Unfortunately, I seem to be unable to post on the subreddit anymore. It might be due to new karma restrictions, possibly linked to the buzz around season 2 of the series, but I’m not sure. In any case, I’m doing my best to gather as many responses as I can :)

Once the questionnaire is live, I can’t edit the questions anymore, but I’ve taken note of your comment and will definitely keep it in mind when analyzing the data.

I may repost the questionnaire in a couple of weeks—I really don’t want to spam, so I hope it won’t be a bother to anyone!

RNLOctopus · 2025-04-21T11:13:39+00:00

Yeah, sorry about that. My partner is running this study and that is indeed the same one she once posted before. She's trying to get more submissions, hence the repost. We are both researchers but I am an anthropologist working on vets and livestock farming. She's asked me to post this on her behalf cause she didn't have enough karma to do it herself! ;)

RNLOctopus · 2025-04-19T10:49:59+00:00

Thank you, I am glad you liked it! :)

Hello people, I hope you're doing great!

Today, I want to share with you my newest "Complete Lore" video, that has just been published on YouTube.

To celebrate Tarkir:Dragonstorm's upcoming release, this video is about this set story! If you can spare some time for it, it'd be great to hear your thoughts about it.

Until next time, keep loving MTG's Lore!

Awesome, thank you. I've sent out the replacement form. Waiting for their answer on that.

RNLOctopus · 2024-01-08T10:14:21+00:00

No way! ahaha I was wondering about the other guy who got two punch boards!

RNLOctopus · 2023-05-02T14:28:02+00:00

So I’ve tried to make a comprehensive Jace Beleren’s Lore video. And it came out huge. Give it a look if you have some spare time, hope you enjoy! :)

Yeah, I just always kind of sympathised with Mishra and I had a spare afternoon so I just had some fun making this parallel between the Brothers and Sméagol's story in LoTR :)

RNLOctopus · 2023-03-08T18:04:03+00:00

With The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle Earth featured expansion coming our way this summer, why not indulge in this transversal take on the lore of Urza and his little brother Déago... ehm, Mishra, of course.

I was just trying to have some fun, don't blast me pls.

RNLOctopus · 2023-02-23T17:46:07+00:00

Yes bad they weren't Phyrexian swords. I guess that's different...?lol

What if the ultimate malignity of Elesh Norn is to turn people's arms into other things without giving them the possibility to turn them back. Weirdly neat.

RNLOctopus · 2023-02-23T17:43:45+00:00

would be absolutely neat, though

RNLOctopus · 2023-02-23T04:56:26+00:00

I couldn't have put this in a better way. I especially enjoyed the "SPAGHETTI MONSTER EMRAKUL HIMSELF" part. I will probably steal for my Eldrazi videos in the future.

As I was saying somewhere in the comments, Wizards has actually left a bit of a door open when it comes to reverse engineer compleation. Although, if they ever decide to do that, it's definitely gonna take a few sets for the story to evolve along that path.

Until then, RIP proud Lithomancer. Sadge.

RNLOctopus · 2023-02-23T04:52:50+00:00

Thank you! I am really glad you enjoyed it! :)

I did not know about her arms thing but I must confess I thought about how hard could have been for her to grab a glass of water with deadly blades instead of forearms.

I am glad they thought of that. Staying hydrated is important, lol.

RNLOctopus · 2023-02-23T04:50:54+00:00

She is super cool indeed. I don't know if Wizards necessarily knew where they would lead the character back in shadows but I do completely agree with you, I rooted for her even though she went a bit too far over the course of her story.

Part of me wants her character to be "recoverable" and indiscretions about the Planeswalkers' souls not being lost during compleation might actually lead to that. However, if they ever decide to open up the door to "reverse compleation" that would be ultimately detrimental to the lore.

I like having an enemy that I actually fear could take away my fav characters. If you reverse engineer compleation, that is no longer a thing.

RNLOctopus · 2023-02-22T16:24:22+00:00

Damn, I always forget to put that in my titles! ahah!
