The world of Alara has been broken and shattered. From it came the Shards of Magic: The Gathering. Today we will discuss the shard of Bant, its complete history and story. A world of only White, Blue, and Green mana. How did its citizens, philosophy, and color identity evolve? The world of Elspeth Tirel, Rafiq of the Many, and Derveti.

Do you hope for a return to Alara? What was your favorite shard? Which shard should I cover next? Most replies below wins!
I was completely out of the game during this time, so I really appreciate this form of catching up, and look forward to learning more about the rest of the shards.
Bant, alongside Naya and Esper were always my favorite shards, especially lore wise Bant was 2nd only to Esper
Ah, gwafa. My favorite commander.. and most hated.
Wizards seriously needs to revisit alara. Interesting denizens and locations without the focus on the damned gatewatch
good one
Ah yes, Bant….the most confusing rule interacting 3 color combination
Did any planeswalker get better with the awkward retconning? I've never cared for the other four, but I liked Nissa a lot and the retcon made her worse. Racism was an interesting character flaw in a world of monstrous races, now her only weakness is red-heads… -.-
Maybe we'll see a revisit before long. With the current theme of progress and planar development in the new phytexia plot, Alara would fit in well. We've never left a plane in such flux before or since, and it could be neat to see how it's changed in our time away. How the shards influence and change eachother with the merging
Awesome job! Baby is definitely one of my favorite shards and I with this video it’s sparked my like for it even more. Thanks for making this and I look forward to the next one 🤘🏻
Looking forward to this, love all the shards and your deep dives so much <3
Love bant, is my favorite shard, and favorite colors are in it, blue,white,green, keep up the good work, I will share this with my friends because I'm bant, my ex is grixis, one of my best friends are jund and esper, there's a lot of alara in Us.
Do grixis next
Hey!!!! We want this for all wedges and shards!!!!
Reupload? Please do Naya next!
I'm an esper and grixis Stan but bant was my 3rd favorite and introduced a really fun key word
I absolutely love this video and the attention to detail in the lore. Can’t wait for the others!
aaah yes Alara, the first series to come out after i joined the hobby, and so the plane of Alara holds a special place in my heart… but wait, it was my understanding that Bolas was the one who sundered it in ancient times? 🤔 and he only reforged it when it suited his plans
I wanna see exalted come back and see a new Rafiq…. I love this Rafiq but I want a better one where he has card draw
Now that phyrexians can planes walk we could be on our way back. Alara and zendikar are my favorites.
The art of Alara was so strong and Bant has such a distinct and recognisable style! I love it!
FANTASTIC VIDEO! Increase your engagement easily –> P R O M O S M!!!
So, can we see a Ravnica plane lore video next?
When r we getting one of these for esper?
Please do jund my personal favourite
