I didn’t read the whole thing, mostly because I’m kinda scared to, but if this means UB sets are floating in through Standard and Pioneer than I think I’m done with the game for a little while. Pioneer was the last thing I was interested in and just bought into it in paper simply because it wasn’t on Arena and wasn’t part of the UB system but this changes that entirely for me. I don’t know what the heck they’re thinking here.
Crossover sets like Marvel, Final Fantasy or Assassin’s Creed.
A lot of people dislike those sets, but so far you could ignore them depending on the format you played. From now onwards it’ll likely be impossible to stay away from those if you want to play competitively.
Besides the overall dislike of this new “Fortnite the Gathering” world, there’s also concerns of pricing, these sets so far have been more expensive than regular sets, and also even more product burnout - we’re up to 6 major sets/year from the 4 we used to have not too long ago.
Oh yeah that’s been weird. I kinda liked fall out and the play mats. And what was the whole race play in lord of the rings?
Definitely a little discouraging. I mean it’s fine for fun, but they should just continue to build off their own universe. I was really excited about all the cinematics with liliana and stuff. Was hoping to see more shorts.

I don’t expect Magic universe to continue existing after a few more years.
Fortunately I had mostly dropped of competitive play already (though I was considering going back because Pioneer looks good right now), this announcement just pushes me even harder on other hobbies.

What is universes beyond and why is it bad? Sorry I’m a casual player, occasionally doing a fnm modern/sealed.
