I’m more tripped up by the sports shit. I just hope they have a cool fantasy tie-in for that stuff. I will actually quit Magic if they just have mundane, real-world sports themes and athletes.

I was wondering why no one was talking about the sports stuff.

@meh.5645 Год назад

Murders at Karlov Manor might sound like a goofy Clue tie-in but IIRC Mark Rosewater has actually said he's been trying to do something like this on Ravnica for a long time and I get why. For many people Ravnica = Guilds and going there without them is pointless but having a special set on Ravnica be character-focused or event-focused lets the designers explore new flavor and mechanics without drying up the well of guild ideas. Basically a Ravnica set without the guilds sounds interesting to me *because* it's not just trying to do guild sets for the fourth time, and that means they have to get creative in how they use the setting. I'm excited to see what they do with it

@Trashmaus666 Год назад

Looks like Magic The Gathering is reaching a state that most of the major entertainment franchises have reached, where the creative route is continued in a meme-ified way that looks at its own original material from the outside, increasingly ignoring what made it great in the first place, in an attempt to appeal to more and more people.

@johndipietro9301 Год назад

@@KnJ0715exactly this. Honestly, the things that made Magic "great" for me were the ways in which different kinds of worlds could interact even just within the MtG planes, and the stories you could generate from them colliding. I started back with Prophecy and Invasion and loved the whole Invasion plot. I lost interest sometime around Shadowmoor, with limited peeks back in after that, but it was the LotR crossover that got me to pay attention again - and then see everything I had missed that WAS based in MtG. Also, the product count for full UB releases has been smaller than the count of new sets based in MtG planes, new or old, and despite LotR being a sales giant, we're not seeing that change next year. Yeah, there's a few more in SL drops and Crossover alt arts, but that's a drop in the bucket compared to new, MtG related cards.

@thelankyyankee4493 Год назад

I think my biggest gripe with some of the Universes Beyond, like Walking Dead, Fallout, Assasins Creed, is that the places depicted in them are "real" to an extent. I feel, personally, there is a bit of a difference between LoTR, Warhammer, Final Fantasy than the previously mentioned. I know its a very arbitrary line in the sand, but I guess I just feel that Sam and Frodo on their trip to Mordor is a different immersion break than Ezio jumping around Italy. Really excited for the Magic IP sets though! The haunted house plane looks totally wicked

The Bloomburrow art of the mouse facing off against the wolf immediately made me think of Mouse Guard. As for low points...eh, I don't care about any of the Universes Beyond properties mentioned for 2024 and beyond, and am skeptical about many of the real releases too...at least Thunder Junction looks like it will have cacti. Seriously, where the heck are all of the MtG cacti?

Bloomburrow is also my #1, Lorwyn a close second, but for me my third has to be Final Fantasy. As far as Universes Beyond concepts go, FF is a really good fit compared to other options, and with a lot of potential. Yoshitaka Amano reprint bonus sheet anyone?

I know what you're saying, but if you follow the through line that phrase doesn't make sense, not the least in this context. if everyone was a firefighter, sure firefighters would be less novel, but it wouldn't be less special to be able to have the resources to save someone's life. for instance. just because wotc makes lots of products and lots of frames doesn't necessarily mean nothing is special anymore, card prices are going down and people are able to bling out their decks easier than ever. doesn't make it less special. wizards has several lessons to learn but I don't think this is one of them - they should try and make each set special.

The good things about such a long stretch of time being revealed all at once like this is it let’s people know what to hold out for.

I’m looking forward to the sets that don’t have outside IP tie ins. WoE looks good so far and the redwall looking set looks like it could be cool

@breakfield1944 Год назад

After being a bit let down by the story direction from the big, epic sets like War of the Spark and March of the Machine it sounds pretty good that they seem to be focusing more on the planes and their inhabitants rather than what just a few of them are doing

@gamerbear84 Год назад

I also like the opposite of narrowing focus in on a smaller scale event like with the Ravnica murder mystery. We've explored the plane for NINE sets, I think we're good to like zoom in and just focus on a narratively driven goings on happening there.

I love ya Prof, and back into 2017 going through your videos got me into MtG in the first place. I think I'm done with this game. Wizards has systematically crushed all the love I had for it, and I'm not one for abusive relationships.

It's a shame but I have been playing since 1995 and I am almost there with you. I will not be buying new cards much anymore. And now I am instead mostly just hunting for very old packs to open... is it sad I'd rather open homelands than this new stuff?

Having the next Ixalan set not even BE an Ixalan set (or started out as one) is just a big punch in the gut for me. I wanted more pirates (that were reworked to actually WORK as a deck theme) and conquistador vamps and they just absolutely RUINED it.

@PaDDy7389 Год назад

I wasn't aware that the upcoming Ixalan set was a rebrand, and that took away my hope that existing factions will get more support, which would have benefited the River Heralds and Legion of Dusk in particular. Other than that, I'm only looking forward to Ravnica Remastered and Modern Horizons III.

As a kid, I fell in love with Magic for it's cool setting, and unique characters and story. I really wonder: if Magic was like this back then, would I still have fallen for it? A can't help but think that my younger self would have found a card game about "Kid From Jurassic Park" killing Megatron with Frodo's sword while the Piñata from Fortnite watches a deeply lame idea.

@stoiccrane4259 Год назад

Theme decks. Can keep the decks within their own universes or add some generically played staples like tutors into the mix. Or cards that are flavourfully resonant like the new 4/4 Wicked Cottage in LotR's Food and Fellowship. Cross mixing universes is atrocious!

Most excited for Bloomburrow, although I wish they'd return to settings with more of a broad scope like Ancient Egypt, for example, rather than a narrow one like "Redwall, but make it MtG". Least excited for Assassin's Creed and Fallout. I don't much care for IP tie-ins that I can't draft. Enjoyed Lord of the Rings quite a bit and I'm looking forward to drafting Final Fantasy.

@Chocolate83Bunny Год назад

Since blocks have been taken out I think the story has been lacking in modern single sets, but with a narrower scope might be a way to keep things fresh and leave room for revisits while still having a better detailed look at the planes we are hopping around so fast

@michaelmiller5177 Год назад

There is just so much product jam packed into the end of this year that it leads to decision paralysis. Eldraine looks fun, but I'm into Dr. Who, and I didn't buy anything in Commander Masters because I have a mortgage to keep up with. Which is the same reason I only bought two booster packs from Lord of the Rings. So I'll likely keep building up my 10 or so commander decks with singles.

Whatever it is, if it makes them more money they will do it.

@Calvin_Coolage Год назад

I'm continually amazed with how quickly this company has speedrun my opinion of them into the ground after only 2-ish years of being into Magic. Those days of oohing and ahhing at previews and being extremely exicted for Neon Dynasty have long since passed. I guess the Universes Beyond stuff is ultimately a matter of taste but I'm reaching the point where I just don't want to play with or against the cards from them. The 40k decks were cool and the two DnD sets had a lot of really fun cards in them but honestly I'd rather they not exist so I don't have to see Frodo and Ezio swinging at me. Compared to getting Pinkertons sicced on you and how overpriced Commander Masters is, Universes Beyond is really a drop in the bucket but it's the thing that bothers me the most when it comes to my enjoyment of the game. It makes me wish Wilds of Eldraine had come out last year since it looks good so far.

@Calvin_Coolage Год назад

@@johnpisser1983 By the time I started Secret Lairs were well established and I just assumed they were a gimmick thing that were just kinda there. Now I know it's just WotC's way of fleecing whales and not having to reprint classic cards in an actual set.

@Walmbat Год назад

Honestly, I'm rather… unenthused for a lot of the tie-in sets like Clue, the new Ravnica set, and the Assassin's Creed thing. However, I do like the Caverns of Italian set as it speaks to the old stories of Dinotopia that I loved when I was younger, I think both Duskmourne and Bloomburrow could be great sets from what we've seen. I'm really hoping that the multi-planar race set ends up harkening to the classic anime movie Redline. And finally, I think that Final Fantasy has a huge amount of potential, given how expansive the series is, and how it can intersect with Magic's more playful side and its more serious side. I think that Wilds of Eldraine will be a great set, and from what I've seen absolutely *blows* CMM out of the water, so I'm looking forward to it. As for the Cowboy set… I just wish that it ends with Jace and Vraska moving to Bryn and settling down or something.

@koolaiddude7685894 Год назад

In one hand. I get it....these are massive IPs that could in theory have their own card games...but realistically....why would they? It makes a ton of sense to just have these IPs in the MTG format. On the other hand, even as someone who loves some of the IPs like Fallout, these sets completelyyyyy break my immersion in the actual world of MTG and the themes they created. Just slowly feels like the game is becoming an engine for Hasbro to ship out "new" products using already pre made stories/characters and not something unique. Very Disney remake-esque imo. But i also proxy everything so why do i even really care tbf 😂

I found your channel the last time I was considering it (before I ultimately decided it was a costly rabbit-hole I wasn't prepared to delve down), and really liked your videos. So I'm back! I'm here scratching my head. Transformers? Dr. Who? What is happening? One thing I can say; as a complete and total layman, that Bloomburrow set is something special. I want that.

@ROMANTIKILLER2 Год назад

As an old schooler, I just cannot connect with current MtG anymore. But if newer generations are very much into and kind popular IP cross-overs, special releases, alternative artstyles, happy for them, if that is what makes them enjoy the game. I'll stick with my "traditional" collection and sometime play with that already more than fine pool of cards with the few other Millenials and GenXs I know who still somewhat like the game. We already had our time in the sun, after all.

I like how weird they’re getting with the original IP settings, don’t really care if something “feels like magic”. The game has been around for 30 years and has to find ways to reinvent itself now.

But i am no longer buying every set and havent been any more for the last few years now. It has become too much.

Cactuar that can deal damage based on him much you pay into them, or that fling 1/1 counters as damage? The sky's the limit!

I used to play magic since 2016. Yeah, i was young in the hobby, but at the time, I had my fun. Every set that came in every so months was exciting and taking a few peeks on the upcoming cards and lore that comes with it was very cool, and all it came in a moderate pace in between sets too. However, nowadays, everything feels "too much" to be taken with, and with different IPs being thrown into the game, it makes it hard to keep up. There are people who still enjoy the game as it is and still see the "magic" behind the game, but I no longer feel that anymore and it is not because that I'm getting older or anything but how the company is basically vomiting content left and right non stop. Don't get me wrong, I still like Magic the Gathering for the lore and the world that it had built over the years, however I can't stress enough of how things are going over the game that makes me feel left out over all things that have been coming up on the recent years.

I'm somewhere between disappointed and "meh who cares?" for every single other product announced. The remastered sets are maybe the exception to this ONLY because reprints especially for these sets that have some very expensive cards are super good for the game, HOWEVER... are they actually going to reprint all of the meaningful expensive cards? or are they going to do some and ignore all the others which are desired??? I expect that latter from WotC.

Also, I personally prefer the more fantasy-focused sets, so the fact that we are getting death race and 70's/80's inspired horror is not very exciting, especially considering that those are going to take up such a large part of the next few years. I am very much looking forward to going back to Lorwyn though. I just hope they keep the fell of the set intact.

@DarkDevero Год назад

These new worlds feel a little tacky but still feel like magic to me, though I like the distinction between 70/80s horror and innistrad I don’t think the distinction will be as obvious. I greatly prefer it over doing so many supplemental products and universes beyond’s and stuff like that, and there’s some genuinely cool worlds like the Wild West world or the space world that I think will bring out that magic charm in them, despite the mundane concepts of space and gunmen

Thank you for summarizing all this. I'm going to be honest, all these announcement don't excite me as much as exhaust me and leave me sad. I miss Magic taking itself serious to an extent (the unsets and flavor text were the places to find humor). With so many Universes Beyond, I don't recognize MTG as I used to back in the day. Sure, the Gatewatch was boring and Avengers-like, but it gave MTG an identity. Now, Magic is cardboard Monopoly. I love Doctor Who and Final Fantasy, but I wouldn't want to see them in Magic the Gathering as it ruins my experience. I don't want to be playing the remake of Final Fantasy VII and see Jace as a secret boss, or be watching Doctor Who and Liliana is the Doctor's new companion. It disrupts the immersion you take from the game. If they were like the silver bordered cards like the Transformers and My Little Pony, then sure. But not like this. I appreciate the Burrowhollow set and Lowryn, but the rest I'm not sure.
