The topic of UB is continuing to create controversy as the number of non-Magic IP products explodes. The Professor put out a recent video on the topic predicting a future Universes Within product to make up for all the unique UB cards being added to the mix, but looks like MaRo has quickly shut that idea down.

What are players who don't like UB supposed to do when there are no Magic versions of those cards? This is now just reality.

Maro is also taking into account draft chaff and random Commander filler, I imagine most of the actually popular UB cards will get reprints eventually. I'd expect it in a regular reprint set since I can't imagine there's that much demand for a solely UW set since a lot of the draw of these cards comes from the flavor of the original IP

Just ignore them. They already release too many cards each year anyways, so it's not hard to skip them. Or play other games. Magic isn't worth your time or money if you're not enjoying it

@MysticKetchup @Fluid I'd guess anything above $20 is likely to see a reprint eventually and anything above $50 or $100 is pretty much a guarantee. (Mostly because reprint sets need something to print to keep people interested)
