Who are the Legends of Strixhaven?

Strixhaven: School of Mages gave us a ton of new legendary creatures, but most of them appeared in the side stories and were easy to overlook. That's why Ryan is recapping everything we know about the deans and students who represent each of the five colleges.

This set did such an incredible amount of things right its really hard to believe this is the same company that does secret lairs

I think my favorite student is Quintorius. I like to think he's a pretty nice guy which is also why he didn't fit in military school. Plus, a dog literally ate his homework.

I love Quintorius and the Magic of Lorehold is so intriguing to me. I do want to mention that Quintorius showed up in Killian’s story and gave him a book about a Silverquill master who was mute. This inspired Killian to learn how to perform his magic with sign language and utilize the power of the white side of Silverquill

Besides just having the coolest art, Quint also has a really neat story arc. Too much of a nerd for the military, but then gets to school and isn't really nerd enough to fit in perfectly there either.
It really takes a passion project for things to really click, and that struck home for me.

It's not about where you fit, it's about what you want.

I think it'd be amazing to see Garruk in the next Strixhaven set. Imagine his rage upon finding out Lilliana is there but controls himself because of the Kenrith Twins and his oath to the Kenrith family.

I loved these characters more than all the planeswalker drama of the set. Quint is my favorite of the bunch, followed by Zimone, I want to hear more of them in the future.

My favorite thing about Codie is Liliana cant stand the fact that it talks

[crabobserver]

I like the symbolism of quint exiting the military academy(boros).

[trumpets]

Anyone else notice how Ryan's moustache has evolved into a beard? Looks really good!

[Onattamato]

I loved the Killian story. The way they did the word magic was interesting, and changing from insults to encouragement was very feel-good.

i really think the side stories were significantly better than the main story and i'm so mad we didn't get more time with these 5

[johanandersson]

Quinty. Because Elephant Cleric is an weird/cool combination of creature types and Loxodons gets an added color to build with.

[williampurcell]

One of the most important things to me is the daily life of an average citizen. That's what makes planes like Ravnica or Kaldheim so interesting.

Hello Ryan just wanted to say on behalf of those of us that dont have time to read the books let alone the stories that are posted on the magic website I would like to say Thank you for pretty much being the Cliff notes/Lore Mage to the Magic universe and give us the highlights on what is best to know we are forever thankful for your contribution.

I always loved Vraska and the green/black themed cards.
But I tried white/black with Strixhaven. Starting with Inkling Token cause these Inklings are damn cute, but I wanted more Tokens. So I add the Pest Token cards and my inner love for green/black was growing again and I started to add more and more green/black cards to my deck - and now it's all green/black and I discorvered Dina some days ago and added her to this deck. So I learned that my mtg-soul is green/black.

P.S.: I loved Vraska even more when I watched the Magic Arcanum Video of her. Thank you btw. <3

Strixhaven has been one of the more enjoyable sets for me in terms of story, gameplay, and pack crack-ability in a long time. As always, thanks for helping to unpack the lore of this game!

[reubenfromow]

Blex the Pest is by far my favourite aspect of this set. In my head canon, Quintorius, Will & Rowan, Killion, Rootha, Zimone and Dina all have to go together to try and find Blex, creating a very forbidden forest from Harry Potter 1 scenario.

[Jaebird]

These stories give me the impression that, despite being enemy colors from a game perspective, the characters and schools which represent the pairings end up striking a balance between their respective ideologies.

[MagnaWingX]

Redemption stories and coming of age stories have always appealed to me. Killian embodied both so very satisfyingly... :: sigh of relief ::

[KnightsofGaming]

Ayy, my day gets better whenever I watch a new Magic Arcanum video! Love your works. Keep up the great work! 👍
