    Magic had like, 120 sets before they started just bundling up different companies IPs and slapping then in the game. Nothing was consistent at all. The lore is warhammer 40k levels of convoluted, and already covered every single trope in fantasy and scifi.

    They are cash grabs, but mostly fun cash grabs. A buddy of mine plays the final fantasy 6 deck a lot, and its a really good time. Its intersting to play against, and also a clear love letter to the game.

    The upcoming TMNT set looks to be doing some intersting things with coop, and brought in the original comic artists to do some of the cards. That sounds like fun to me, so Im here for it.

      i don’t find any of the IP’s fun. all its done is ruin the game cost wise (whoever isn’t boycotting the prices has no right to complain) and just made magic to me like a deck of uno cards at walmart but with different IP themes…oh wait, hasbro owns them…

        I’ve had to adapt and just not care about every set release which has been good for my wallet and free time.

        I like playing budget 60 and some commander so the card prices generally ain’t too bad.

        One thing that cannot be circumvented unless you proxy is mana base costs. Fuck paying $100+ for your lands to make a deck work.
