COMMANDER MASTERS story for Magic: the Gathering
The Eldrazi have been some of the biggest threats in the Magic: The Gathering Miltiverse while also being one of its biggest mysteries. In Commander Masters we have a new LEGENDARY Eldrazi card that adds more to the lore of the Eldrazi. For the first time in MTG, we get a legendary Eldrazi creature that's not a titan. What is Zhulodok, Void Gorger? What is its story? What new lore does it bring for the Eldrazi?

You thought it was Sorin who made Vampires on Zendikar
BUT IT WAS I ZHULUDOK!
IT WAS ZHULODOK ALL ALONG!!!
KONO ZHULUDOK DA!
That was quite a piece of lore! I didn't expect Zhulodok to be actually tied to vampires in zendikar. Nice
Thus the name of the legendary creature Rayami, first of the fallen came to be. He turned into a vampire due to the eldrazi corrupting madness
So this is really in truth, THE FIRST Eldrazi to come to Zendikar
You know, with Drana desperate to make new Blood Chiefs and Anowon looking for redemption for his inaction against the Eldrazi, it would be pretty cool to feature a story with them both on the trail of the secret to making Bloodchiefs. Maybe they'll learn that the only way to make more bloodchiefs would be to call another Eldrazi to the plane or find a way to replicate their colourless mana effects, leading one or the other to push to far and need to be stopped. Maybe Drana in her desperation will believe that she can control or contain a new Eldrazi if she is present before it feeds too much, and Anowon can redeem himself by using his knowledge of the Eldrazi to stop her. Maybe Anowon is cursed to repeat his mistakes, and delves too deeply for knowledge and is stonewalled out of a ruin or site under Drana's control to keep him from calling another Apocalypse.
Regardless, fun to learn about where the vampires originated, thanks for the fun vid.
Them finding a cave, with the "equipment" used by the planeswalkers to lure the eldrazi to Zendikar, and then turning it on, would be cool
Im so happy you are covering this. I was really wondering what this card meant for the lore the first time i saw it
And it meant a good deal. Love seeing new legendary Eldrazi
It would be really interesting if drana in her quest of creating new bloodchiefs free'd emrakul or re made one of the titans somehow it would be the coolest way for them to come back
Except she'd need to find an omenpath to Innistrad to free Emrakul, in which case she could probably just bring Innistradi vampirism back instead.
Bringing back old foes has to stop at some point. I'd rather move on, but I'm not the one to decide.
@@anthonydelfino6171 im not sure if she would want that to happen tho its not the same species and she want her species to continue
@@Seven-il8of she's not a separate species, she's a Kor who's been converted. Not to mention, I'm not certain she'd want to risk further mind controlling influence from the eldrazi (especially as she fought against them) AND she'd have to both know that Emrakul is trapped on Innistrad, and find a way to get there.
@@anthonydelfino6171 she would probably know trough some random plot point also they are different species it's not the same type of vampires at all also my idea was she would free her on accident while trying to somehow take her energy or something to create new vampires
Congrats on making Ambassador. Love the videos.
Thank you. I hope it leads to great new content for you guys
Great video! I love that we've gotten lore on why there aren't more blood chiefs. I can't help but be disappointed that Zholodok isn't a titan in his on right on a different plain that could have opened up a path for a new eldrazi story.
Super dope commander. Built a list for Z right as it was spoiled, and already ordered and received my proxy order for the whole deck. I had preordered the precon, but the price is not changing so I am canceling it since I already have the deck and I don’t want to spend a silly amount on a precon… Of the new carda, I only want 3-4 of them so I’ll just get them as singles :)
This is honestly what I think Crimson Vow should've been! I don't know how it would tie into Midnight hunt but I think it would be cool to see Dranna in a desperate attempt to spawn that she convinces or tricks Tamyo into releasing Ulamog thus creating a rivalry between them Teferi, Chandra and the inhibitors of Innistrad. Dranna could then spark due to the power she unleashed and it would've become a War of the Spark type war. Dranna being the Liliana to Ulamog's Nicol Bolas.
Loved the video! Would it be possible to get a video on Anikthea, Hand of Erebos? Theros is my favorite plane, so new lore on it is always awesome!
I was hoping this would be what you covered, I'm curious to hear about this deck and the Commador Gruff character if you haven't made a video on them already.
Can't wait to try this card, great video!
You are incredible thanks for all the videos ❤
So are you for enjoying the content :)
With Phyrexia subject to the narrative equivalent of being taken out back and shot, maybe Eldrazi can provide a compelling antagonist faction : /
Maybe they should dive into their role in the universe
By any chance could you do a video on anikthea hand of erebos, she was my other favorite new commander, and I was between getting her precon or this one, but due to prices and the lack of eldrazi fully I think I may get her precon instead
Another great video thanks.
preordered from my lgs as soon as it was open, mostly cuz I wanted to know about this fella
Any chance you can discuss since the omen paths now exist the sliver hive mind can finally be one ?
Really want this deck. Eldrazi is my favorite creature type.
Sucks that it's not an eldrazi deck, it's a tron deck that doubled down on the weakness of full colorless eldrazi decks
@@ailonrougecan I ask you to explain more about what you mean?
@@paultrujillo8539 the full colorless eldrazi decks(titans) suffer from high mana costs that rely on you balancing ramp and reduction with few answers available
I wonder if they going to bring back the eldrazi that was seal in the moon.
Oh definitely
@@AetherHub is there any lore for sliver gravemother would be very interested in that if there is
I'm actually really happy to see Wizards finally acknowledging you and welcoming you as a partner to do what you've always done anyway. Congrats for finally breaking through to them, or perhaps congrats to them for finally noticing what's been there right in front of their eyes all along. :)
I'm definitely picking that precon up
Thanks Seiben!
Wait... the titans are defeated/dead (can't remember if they were fully destroyed or not), but is Zhulodok still around?
If so, I'm guessing he'll be the "big bad" of Zendikar, other than Nahiri.
No I believe he said they were defeated in the video before the titans were released
@@doku6255 I didn't catch that, my bad.
Also, the eldrazi couldn't be properly destroyed
@@ailonrouge I figured that was mainly for the main titans
with the pathways between the planes open. i think drana will take her clan to innistrad to appeal to Emrakul to make a new vampire clan. this clan might be blue or black blue.
Im just gonna put this out there, (as a big fan of leylines themselves) I vote for there to be a 4 cmc colorless leyline. I have no idea what it could possibly do. Any ideas?
Off the cuff, just leyline if anticipation, but only for colorless. We already have 2 of those ob bodies though
@@Sky-dy4vn ikr I love leylines
@@Sky-dy4vn I think I only need 3 more to have a complete set.
I would've enjoyed seeing Slivdrazi vs Phyrexians as the conclusion to MTG before the new additions of Universes Beyond.
eldrazi would steamroll both phyrexia and slivers with no difficulty
@@ThePSaco cool.
Interesting!!!
Very interesting. So, if Ulamog ever came back would he have total control over all of the vampires? That could make for an interesting story.
Well, Drana and several others resisted him when he was around the first time. So probably it would only be the 'weak-willed' vampires that would fall to him.
This was the first thing i wondered when he was announced. I was hoping that they would come back though sigh
May I simply correct you in the functionality of the titans? Emrakul twists material to morph them into something more akin to eldrazi. Ulamog devours totally, leaving behind only a chalky dust in his wake. Whereas Kozilek warps reality, leaving behind horrid landscapes of bismuth that house no life.
Its a shame he's not a Titan. Was hoping for a big reveal of the titans numbers and a possible ressurgance with Emrakul
Hopefully we have more legendary eldrazi from emrakul and kozilek
My first introduction into your channel was your cover of the gatewatch lore so anything Eldrazi by you is exciting!
I'd like if the blood chief did something that accidentally brought back umu and kolzi
I was looking forward to playing the Eldrazi precon but unless the price drops when released I can't justify it especially as all the other key Eldrazi cards inexplicably left out of it have massively spiked. So I'm going to a reggae festival instead.
Where did you get this? There is an article or something??
The lore is included in the Eldrazi precon deck in Commander Masters :)
Who’s art is that at the end the one of the female vampire blood around her ?
I don't like hearing MTG lore from ANYONE ELSE. He just delivers it
Zhulodok is really close to Zheludok, which is Stomach in russian
*cues up Ziltoid*
Wonder if we are gonna get back to that other plane with vampires and an eldrazi
Iron Filings is File-ings as in the bits of iron that come off when using a file to grind iron. Sorry just had to!
Just plugging my theory Ashiok is Dyfed returned after dark ritual tied yawgmoth to phyrexia's original world soul.
this makes me wonder if all vampires effectively originate from the eldrazi similar to how all dragons and be traced back to the ur-dragon. perhaps ur is a moniker for multi-galaxy/dimensional beings that spread or destroy life.
If I remember right Edgar Markov became the first vampire on Inistrad after making a deal with a demon and drinking angel blood
@@Kolbjornelenanotrue. I remember at least one form of vampire was done through what was tantamount to alchemy.
Edit: though it could be explained away as them using what was basically essence of eldrazi.
@@Kolbjornelenano I thought it had to do with him trying to figure out a way to get an alternate food source since a famine was happening on Innistrad?
Definitely would put ugin in the deck
So the Vampires of Zendikar are cursed beings not undead so they are basicly the same as Sorin which means that it could be possible for them to have Planeswalker
In Russian his name sounds similar to zheludok (желудок), what means stomach.
Accidentally? I don't think so!
Where did you get this info tho 👀👀👀
How do I play this card? In legacy.
Imagine Bolas convincing the eldrazi to join him.........
I'm hoping The Forgotten Monument is actually a hidden Eldrazi just waiting to be unlocked.
This monument of Ulamog, not creature in stasis, only stone monument, builded by vampires (maybe)
I had assumed it was something as simple as a very specific noteworthy spawn of ulamog (because of the arms), but I was still kind of holding out hope that WoTC was going to do something wierd, like reincarnations of the two dead titans. Oh, well.
Not for that price tag I’m not.
Love the eldrazi and super excited for this precon! Can't wait to get my hands on it, if only the price would come down a bit. Anyways I wonder if kozilek and emrakul had a legendary creature in their brood as well. Would definitely add more lore to the eldrazi
That precon is awful, it only compounds on the problem they only fixed in BFZ block. There's only 10 eldrazi in the precon btw and about 8 good cards for eldrazi
OH SHIT NEW ELDRAZIIIIIIIIIIIIII
That's not a mystery. We knew vampires came from Ulamog a long time ago. Naming a "piece" of him doesn't change being the source. Would've been cooler if Zhulodok was a minor titan or something more than just this
wait, so is this official lore? I know you're sponsored, but the description just says that it's unofficial fan content.
This is official lore! The unofficial tag was something WOTC asked us to put into most of our content so we can feee use their images and materials without copy rite issues
Ya ya! Ulamog fhtagn!
I would buy the pre-con if it wasn't $120+, can't find it for retail price even if I could it would still be too expensive. I'm pretty much done buying products like that and will just stick to singles for now on
All hail our eldrazi overlords! We need our eldrazi overlords to destroy The One Ring and Orcish Bowmasters!
What about Chulodok
In Russian, Zhulodok means stomach, a container of food
I'm not going to get the precon is over price. I already own every eldrazi. I just need to order the new cards
I know you got a sliver video waiting cuz of Rukarumel the sliver queen. 😂
The eldrazi precon is certainly cool, but definitely not worth the price tag. Have you seen how much they are? No thank you.
Idc how it fits into lore i want a 5c devoid eldrazi so we can use all the colored eldrazi in a eldrazi tribal deck.
I love the Eldrazi, unfortunately the $80 price tag is more than I can swing. I guess I can just buy singles!
I would love to play the deck, if it didn't cost so much
You could probably talk to a titan
The only devastating effect Zhulodok has on anything is on your wallet if you want to play it in this 'for everyone-format' called commander. With the new commander masters set WotC has shown that it goes to any length to make sure players get milked.
Nothing against them branching out and releasing more stuff. However... They cannot possibly expect their average active adult players to spend more on their game than the occasional hundred bucks every couple months, right? Right? ... ... ... Right? O.o They can do their math, for sure.
It seems like it's the stores that they're actually milking. It's ravaging the secondary market and making a sizeable portion of players switch to Arena, which brings way less value per player and has a much lower retention potential (way easier to pick up another card game in the digital space than it is to start a whole new physical collection from scratch). Well... They've been know for shooting themselves in the foot for decades at this point, so... unless they know something we don't...
So if vampires of zendakar y didn’t we get colorless vampires at the very least
Love eldrazi! Want them to make a comeback now that phyrexians are on ice for awhile
0:33
Zhul looks like Elesh norn with a smashed in head.
Yay!! I’m early!
Yeah you are!
Man, if they were priced at 50.00$ maybe.... I can't afford this ridiculous price. But at least we can get the lore for free.
O yay! I can't wait to hear you butcher a new legendary name! Let's go ooooo!
give me an eldrazi planeswalker and eldrazi sliver please.
I really hope wizards fixes the lore on eldrazi. The bodies they used on zendikar were avatars, like you said, which was described as if you were a fish seeing a hand in the water. The avatar is just the eldrazis “hand”. Yet at one point, Maro says that the avatar death in gatewatch was the death of the actual titans. This is such a lame end for such a great story beat
"the Eldrazi came"
And, after earing their name after all this time, so did I.
😂
Second!
Grats!!
But there's more!
The three eldrazi titans were actually avenging their mother, Avacyn!
Ugin was their father, so they were upset and betrayed by Sorin and their own Dad!
😂😂😂😂😂
The eldrazi are not from space. They are preternatural beings from outside the plain of existence. They have no need for mana. The best way to describe them might be transcendental.
its going to come to a final showdown with eldrazi and phyrexians. and im sure emrakul is going to escape. the rest i cant predict
Nahiri being a vampire racist is so funny to me
Rumbling Rumbling it's coming..
You know... WotC hasn't made a new threat since Zendikar. It's been 15 years since MAgic actually tried. And waht do you know, they're already going back to Emrakul.
So what, will Emrakul find the PHyrexians and combine so Nicol Bolas needs to be allied with?
Where is this lore printed?
Is it just me or is all of this speculation, as far as I know WotC didn't make any new stories. I really wish this company would print some damn books but we gotta monetize magic without effort
Kinda lame it wasn’t a colorless black deck then
We never really destroyed planes How many worlds have they destroyed? And nobody has ever accidentally traveled 21 of those worlds and saw all the destruction in the chass agitate cheap way of adding more Coolest creatures and spells that aren't artifacts
The irony is that the eldrazi deck is awful for eldrazi tribal. All the titans are terrible commanders for tribal
So what would you recommend? I’m thinking of using Jhoira or something for a Eldrazi deck
@@paultrujillo8539 morophon, the non heliod theros gods, any utility legends with colors, etc.
@@ailonrouge and can I ask why would those be good for eldrazi tribal?
@@paultrujillo8539 for 1, they give you access to the devoid eldrazi one of whom can give you infinite eldrazi in selesnya or naya. Also, with the devoid eldrazi, you lower your mana curve so you don't rely on tron
@@ailonrouge that’s mad interesting dude I might look into it more since my knowledge on eldrazi play styles is pretty bare, my play group is only now being like aight let’s try it
sooooooooooooo she hates sorin for nothing...............wooooooooooooooooow
Sorin is a very punchable and self interested vampire, and he made things worse after she got locked in the helvault
Cant wait fir the master set curse to ruin another format...
they should have used the eldrazi to distract new-dumb phyrexia...
Release Emrakul from the moon!
@@AetherHub you are the expert, just seemed a missed opportunity...like using dinos against aliens, no one wins.
Unnecessary retcons covered by a hack. WotC's knocking it out of the park in every possible way.
Wow lame. Zhuladok shoulda been a 4th titan
Why would the only remaining blood chief want to dilute her power by creating more? That goes against the color pie for black mana which is supposed to be ambitious and sacrificing others for personal gain.
Two there must be. No More. No Less.
Wow doesn’t make sense and wizards poor lore telling again
