I swear to s*** f***, wizards of the coast are ruining magic the gathering just for 💲💲💲!
Like dont get me wrong, this looks sick af and Im totally considering getting a few boosters packs... BUT THATS THE PROBLEM! Continuity in this game has completly changed ever since secret lair releases and now fully out the gate, with fucking, My Little Pony, Fallout, Ninja Turtle, avatar last air bender, transformers, fucking pop culture BULLSHIT. Bruh!!
Story wise it's just completly left all the old and unique/original create it had 10-15 years ago. The difference from now and then is that mtg fans are receiving original content from other franchises, deimersing tge og mtg feel. To new players over the last 6 years, may not have noticed much of a change, but people playing this game for 14-28years see a completly new game now ah-days.
(Mtg fans have see power creep and new card mechanics shift the game ultiple times entirely, for decades. Pop culture is not a sole driver of change in the meta).
Im all about popculture overlap, but dis shit be ruining the meta all for hype! Like from a money perspective, is great bc people see their favorite character from their favorite popculture something and go spend money. I have seriously met people who never considered playing Magic and got a starter deck bc iy was Spiderman! My eyes are bleeding! Wtf! Its just pushing out old players who've been at this game for 30 years.
Like it totally made sense back in 2019 when when MtG released a DnD crossover set, bc like wizard of the coast owns both, but WtF is this?!
"oh shiiiit?! Wait actually is that a nightmare fuel f***ed up Firby?! Yo, thats actually kinda lit."Like wtf is this, you're telling me Kratos, Priincess Twilight Sparkle, Joel(last of us), and Sauron(Lord of the rings); could show down in a 4player commander game while people are throwing out eldrazies, slivers & shit?!
...
Are you shitting me?!!
And they are exspensive too!...
