Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
I just watched a half hour long building on architecture as it related to MtG, and Iβll probably watch it again.
What fucking sorcery does Rhystic Studies use?
Me: I don't have time to watch half an hour long youtube video
Also me: It's Rhystic studies, nvm
If this video doesnβt include a detailed analysis of the Tin Street economy Iβm unsubbing
Thatβs not true I could never unsub from Sam π
Ridiculously well made. I wonder what Sam's academic/educational background is in.
As a DM who kind of sucks at describing architecture, and is running a Ravnica campaign, this is exactly what I need.
Something is missing
Rhystic Studies is like the content cop of Magic the Gathering. Every time he uploads a video I just drop everything and watch it. The quality and care he puts into his videos is unmatched in the community. The way he approaches topics really makes you think and appreciate the game and all itβs minute facets is incredible. Keep up the great work Sam.
Every time he puts out a new video, my YouTube front page is always like "Wanna binge watch his whole channel again?" and I've never said no.
One of the things I did not expect to see in this video was the St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, in Sofia, where I currently live. While Ravnica is based on Prague, South-Eastern European architecture as a whole seems to have provided much inspiration to the plane.
Bulgaria deserves more recognition in such work, as it is quite unique in its blend of Bulgarian National Revival architecture, post-Ottoman europeanisation, 30s modernism, and post-1960s Soviet brutalism. Apart from Half-Life 2 (which is based primarily on Sofia), Ravnica is the only other fantasy world that has given me a taste of that.
