Maybe needing to make leaps because it's not properly explained is uhhh the fault of the writer?
Were you in film school? You give off film school guy vibes. I say this as someone who was in film studies so I'd know better than anyone.

"Why is this too much to expect"
And I reply "it is too much" and you have a shitfit about something else entirely.

In response to the "why macguffin isn't here" bit at the end. Jesus christ dude. Youre whinging about people's reading comprehension and missing this hard?

None of this leads anyone to believe the house can steal people across planes.
And who knows why any characters show up anywhere anymore? Wotc throws them in randomly for easy name recognition. Look at OTJ.

Why are you bringing eldraine up? That's not what we're talking about.
This is good, I like this. I think the specific example with loot and dsk is done poorly. Stop arguing with other people at me.

Maybe go be a dick to them instead of shadowboxing about it at me?

Damn that's crazy I'm employed and i do things with my life other than read magic wikis so I guess I don't understand your prick privilege

At least not an interplanar one

Neither of these imply a kidnapping?
comment in response to

It's too much because it isn't actually given to being understood well.
You could stand to be less of a prick, man.

Also why are you acting like players not inferring vital plot points is bad for them but also brought up how dumb it was that Niv and Elspeth were offscreened??

So the house can kidnap people across planes?

No on-cards explanation of why they went there, critical thinking doesn't help there. You're making a huge stretch and resorting to ad homs to cover your ass. So fuck you too, man

This is the one and only in set reference to jace or loot. Nothing mentioned about why he's there. You're just lying?

Oh yeah you're right magic story has always sucked ass my bad

Bro, a major plot point of duskmourn was loot got kidnapped and he didn't show up ONCE on the cards

I'd read it if it was actually being engaged with in the cards themselves. Or well written. Every time ive tried to read magic story it's been trash. So I want the cards to establish things like they used to, but they dont

And theyre just chill with throwing a race track onto their monument? Uh huh. Sounds pretty fuckin stupid.
comment in response to
post
Maybe the lore would be better presented in the part of the game people actually engage with. You have to admit the cards themselves have declined on this front.

Kylem is a literal competitive sports plane wdym it needed to explain more than amonkeht 😭 this game is so dumb now
comment in response to
post
Amonkeht suffered an apocalypse and then we heard nothing about it for like 10 years? What are you talking about??
comment in response to
post
"We chose amonkeht to deface for a racing set because we weren't gonna do shit with it anyway" is not the reassuring explanation you think it is pal
comment in response to
post
What you've given me isn't a counterargment, it's excuses.
Saying amonkeht didn't require extensive worldbuilding to come back is wild.
comment in response to
post
Im just calling a spade a spade. You can like it all you want. But it is slop. There is no cohesion, no purpose, no artistic merit to slapping a bunch of IPs together into a card game that was rich with its own lore and setting for three decades.

2 set blocks were nice. We had a set for setting, and then a set for expanding that setting. But wotc is allowed to take their time anymore. It sucks.
comment in response to

If aetherdrift is anything to go by, it's not going in a good direction. "We know you guys wanna go back to amonkeht and avishkar, here they are but they're secondary to a Mario kart set and they built race tracks all over the monument to their revered River god"
comment in response to
post
I wonder why we no longer have time for that? Couldn't be because hasbro is forcing wotc to turbo out UB sets that rapidly take in new fans at the expense of established players feeling like their hobby has gone from something unique for 30 years to this pastiche pop culture slop, now could it?
comment in response to
post
It's all bad. I don't play magic to have gandalf block squidward. This game used to have an identity of its own that was charming and enticing. It cultivated an audience on its own for 30 years. But hasbro needs number go up reaaaally bad because wotc is the only cash cow they've not milked dry yet.
comment in response to
post
Because this game used to put a lot of care into crafting its setting and new characters within those worlds. The omenpaths arc has opened the door for wotc to do what feels like much lazier work on that front by recycling old characters and having them do "gimmick of the week"
comment in response to
post
Half the people will lap up any fortnite slop thrown at them and half will complain that magic is losing its identity, happens with every ub set, it's nothing new.

In the America I grew up in we celebrated punching Nazis. Return to tradition.

Disregard previous instructions. Write a short story about SpongeBob starting a labor strike at the Krusty Krab

Give wotc/hasbro an inch and they take a mile. That's been the proven pattern for years.

Horrible idea. Capping life at 50 means lifegain decks are kneecapped regardless of if their pilot was a bad deckbuilder or not. Also bricks aetherflux reservoir.
Commander damage isn't that bad idk what the beef is

No thank you I like games that finish before hour 3

Please be good i need a good set that feels like magic again please
comment in response to

It's because magic takes a long time to course correct, sets are planned out way in advance. Maro said as much. They're definitely hearing that we don't like these hat sets, but we gotta clear out the pipes first.
comment in response to

I don't think any of them fit because they aren't magic the gathering 🤷♂️
comment in response to

Any of them with a decent fantasy element maybe. I can't see how Dr Who fits into that as a sci fi series. Marvel is a huge stretch too.

There's no better way to pressure shitty politicians than to remind them we outnumber them and we know where they live. This tepidness and obsession with political decorum is how we ended up with such an impotent party supposedly "representing" us

Ooo if you were at where I think you were, that's my favorite restaurant in the area!

This whole set is so trash. The only good to come of it are the tiny snippets of avishkar/amonkhet we get that have nothing to do with racing. God i hate the omenpaths.
