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.
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.
All they needed to do imo was print all of these Universes Beyond with silver borders and it would have been fine. Injecting them into the same design-space as Brainstorm and Thragtusk seems crazy to me. It's now at least 2 games in 1. Three if you count the un-sets as a separate game.

And this is why we can’t have nice things under capitalism.

Man it used to be IP like this would just make its own card game.
I can't wait to play my goblin tribal deck against a spongebob and friends deck. /s

Thanks, I hate it. Remember when Magic was a distinct IP of its own, rather than “what if Gandalf fought Street Fighter”?
