Mtg seems like such a joke these days. For decades they created a ton of unique and intriguing worlds of their own. It is so lazy to see them use other IP numerous times now.
I gave up on everything WotC years ago and I have yet to see any reason to regret it.
Agree. There seems to be an audience for them though as they are selling well. Unfortunately for the rest of us, it means we have to watch the game we love turned into an advertisement platform for whatever pop culture IP is in fashion.
It’s a sad timeline, made all the worse by WotC running the line that players aren’t entitled to express dislike of this approach because magic is a “buffet”, a metaphor that doesn’t work when the addition of “new foods” necessarily ruins the “old foods”, it’s an either/or situation, not an in-addition situation.
Have a friend who owns a LGS mainly focused on MTG and he told me that as a long time MTG player he hate all those special and other IP sets, but a business owner he fucking love them. For him they cost the same as regular sets, but he sold them for double the price and can't even keep the demand.
And this is why we can’t have nice things under capitalism.
