Here's my personal hierarchy of UBs based on how sloppy they are.
>1. Children's Cartoons: Literally the lowest of the low, why would you do this.
>2. Comic books: Awful because nobody actually buys comics, but saved from being the lowest due to the fact that "some" LGS are also comic book stores
>3. Video Games. Don't think I need to elaborate much on this, if you want to play a video game, just go play the damn video game.
>4. TV and Movies: Just generally sloppy, we (generally) don't want to see real people on Magic cards.
>5. Books: Preferable to the previous 4 by a large margin, taking pre-existing fiction and adapting it to game-form is fine.
>6. Other Tabletop Games: This is how it ought to be, you actually will see a crossover audience and it won't be as egregiously offensive as Magic players absorb this from osmosis.

August 25, 2017 when wotc released eminence and realized they can easily milk EDH tards

December 2, 2019 when first secret lair dropped and degens bought that shit

October 4–12, 2020 When walking dead crossover was released and degens bought it instead of burning WOTC headquaters

November 28, 2022 When "30th anniversary celebration" proxy alpha product was released and some people actually bought it

Just want to add to my post:
I think our biggest problem are pathetic beta virgin nerds, that are so fucking goofy and souless they actually dont understand what is a "personality" so they think buying everything MTG related and talking about MTG nonstop is a personality. I have no idea how or why this people have this much money, because obviously since they are retarded if they still buy into wotc garbage Hasbro produces at insane rate while constantly lovering quality and increasing price.
If you have only one hobby and its MTG, seek help.

Trying to make a "competitive format" out of an unchanging card pool is a fool's errand, Premodern's card pool should be a random assortment of 1994-2001 cards that shuffles every so often.

Anon, you wake up tomorrow and an evil genie has tasked you with fixing Magic's IP. (A WotC employee made a wish and this is their punishment.)
You must rebuild Magic's original storytelling identity, with one constraint: You must maintain something recognizable as a brand image across all sets. It can be a character, macguffin, anything. The only rule is that you need to include something the marketing team can shit out as an IP identifier in merchandising.

Whatever you say, goes (limited to influence over WotC and Hasbro). If you do not give marketing their merchandising fuel, the genie will kill you. The death will be fairly quick but extremely painful. All other consequences of your actions will remain.

What do you do?
>>
>>97796339
It's like marvel!!
>>
>>97796367
For comparison dota's logo is just two dots and a diagonal line to represent their map, so wotc did the same to represent planeswalking, an idea unique to mtg
The problem is wotc cant write good planeswalker characters for shit so they made every character planeswalk via omenpaths to visit better characters via UB instead
>>
>>97796384
Also, you know, Dota doesn't rotate characters out of the game for years at a time (anymore).

What the hell where they thinking with white borders? There are so many cards you can have only with white borders. Or the black bordered versions have terrible art.
If I had a time machine, I wouldn't use it to prevent wars or gay stuff like that. I would tell 90's WotC to not ever print white bordered cards and not create the Reserved List.

There is none. All the players that had the will and intelligence to understand what wotc are turning the game into already cashed out and left. Those that remain are the weak willed paypiggies who don't have the strength to quit. They'll put up with anything and will keep playing and buying cards and crying about the game until the precise moment Hasbro goes bankrupt.

Make a story arc that revolves around a mcguffin that can give things a discount planeswalker spark. Think the stand arrow for Jojo, but it only works while you have it on you.
>But isn't that just the Aetherspark
Yeah but this one gives you some of the pre-mending bonuses and looks like something you can market by looking like the planeswalker symbol.
Would be interesting to watch all the desparked dudes fight for it and narratively you can tackle a lot of themes since it'll be changing hands often so you can explore a lot of characters, motivations and themes. You could resolve the arc with people accepting that loss of planeswalking as a metaphor for people accepting that Magic isn't the same game anymore and that shit changes, but sometimes those changes look an awful lot like what we had before.

Got to admit. As some people suggested, you have Silvers, Eldrazi, hell the phyrexians would be a great regular mascot villian too. However, they other kill them off. Or nerfs them by end of the block/set where they're not much of a threat after. Hell, Nicol Bolas being a endgame boss would been good. Or have groups. However it feels like they can only do one at a time. Rather than have multiple threats who might work together or attack each other. Honestly, make the Silvers be MTG "chimera ants", Bolas the final boss, Eldrazi your Lovecraften horror, and Phyrexian your borg. (Plus, all the local threats of the current plane.) The idea of a cute Pikachu mascot isn't needed. However the idea of a villian mascot as the idea you are a planeswalker and could be work with or against them pushed the "mature" aspect and let be honest. Would drive sales more than a "baby yoda" to sell to tourists. Hell, look at IPs like Star Wars, Walking Dead, Dragon Quest, Mario, etc. Some of their biggest icons are villians even their basic grunts.

That would literally just make creatures even more important. It would be like Hearthstone where a deck without creatures is unthinkable.

What the solution is is simply stop printing creatures that are blatantly pushed. You should not get a 3/3 with three highly positive abilities for three mana.

Honestly the biggest slop is the fact he's OPT (a good thing) and on the same fucking card lets you draw every turn (very bad thing). Wow I guess it was too much for the card to ask you to do one thing.

None of these are valid complaints and you definitely have not been playing since 2008, let alone 96.

Commander in 2011 was a 'summer fun' product in the same way that Archenemy and Planechase were before (and Conspiracy was afterward).
>A rainbowland with no drawback
Are you retarded? One drawback is that it does not tap for mana in the majority of formats it is legal in. If you want to argue this kind of disingenuous garbage you should go with Reflecting Pool which is also 'for all functional purposes a rainbowland with no drawback'.
>pinky promise they will never become constructed staples
This was literally never said and I cannot believe there are still retards who parrot this. The quote was that mythics would not JUST be the most powerful staple cards. That means some mythics would be powerful staples. The original claim was that mythics were designed based on feeling 'epic' more than on powerlevel not that the powerlevel would always be low or that format staples would never be mythic. This was arguably first broken with Lotus Cobra (I'm not counting From The Vault cards) but the attachment/significance that MtG players affix to 'lotus' makes for at least an argument that it was valid.
Personally I think the first mythic that unquestionably didn't feel mythic was Misthollow Griffin though I think that Warren Instigator and the Herose of Oxid Ridge/Bladehold shouldn't have been mythic either.
>didn't have toa ppeal to people that actually play the game
Chronicles on top of very underwhelming set releases straight up crippled the game and the reserved list was probably one of the very few options they had to make sure Magic didn't die in 1997. Keeping the reserved list as long as they did was absolutely retarded but that definitely was not an issue in 96.

>They NEEDED the reserved list
Straight off WotC's personal PR press. This is not true and never has been. The problem was a dogshit set overloaded with bad cards. Not the fact that the reprinted cards lost their value.

I'm so sick of this meme. Chronicles was not any weaker than any other set released at the time, and Rudies of the 1994 bleating about how it's going to kill Magic could and should have simply been ignored. WotC's overreaction to unfair negative feedback mark the starting point of the slow death of the game. In reality Chronicles was a god tier set and should have been made a permanently recurring reprint set with yearly updated contents.
>>
>>97799389
They should not be legal in any format except EDH then. No UB card should ever be allowed in Standard, Modern, Legacy, etc.

It genuinely had to be one of the biggest smash hit goated sets of all time to even make a mark on the year.
It appears to be an utterly boring, nuMagic FIREslop boredom fest with zero redeeming qualities. Every mechanic is just a lazy pwerpower crept reskin of an older mechanic. Really, it just looks like trash. 2026 is already over as far as MTG releases are concerned.

Then, at the end of the year, Mark can come out and cheer about how Star Trek was the best selling set of all time even though its public sales stats have zero boxes sold worldwide. Fuck this stupid fucking shit ass corporate cesspit of a game, and its narcissism-addled talentless hack designers.

Try it out at a convention (does WotC still go to those? I haven't gone to one in a decade, but that's how a few friends of mine got into MtG) or wait until there's a prerelease weekend for a set you're interested in.
>Is it still worth it to start playing in 2026?
Fuck no. MtG is at its absolute worst and is NOT getting better. If you like overpowered cards that ruin formats and crossover slop, then you'll enjoy it, but if you're in it for the game itself then
>I would mainly play online.
Arena is rigged in so many ways.
MtGO is fine, but not free.

If you feel like you NEED to play MtG (I'm so sorry for you, if that's the case), then go to a LGS and ONLY play Sealed, Draft, Jumpstart, and Prerelease events since they're the most 'fair' ways to play.

>>97801529
Idk I felt a lot of Duskmourn's creatures were a bit scattershot in terms of design. And I don't know why red's aesthetic was murder clowns and rollercoaster rides instead of something more in line with the haunted house theme. I do like the room mechanic and I hope it's reiterated in future sets.

>>97801548
Bloomburrow was perfectly fine as a one-and-done deal. And I'm not sure how much MKM and OTJ would benefit from doubling in scope. In DSK's case I can absolutely see it, up front it's clear that a lot more could be done based on the work the team already put in.
>>
>>97801500
>>97801538
MKM was an utter assassination of Ravnica as a coherent world. It is now inhabited by 1000 detectives because the design team opted for lazy tribal.

Ravnica as a setting has always had detectives as a concept, but the volume they appeared in and the visual markers used to denote them (hats) was an abject disaster. If they were desperate to include detective tribal, the best implementation would have been "threshold one", or a Homicidal Seclusion type strategy, given the solitary nature of noir fiction and the volume of detectives on Ravnica (small). What we got was unsatisfying narrative-destroying, setting-destroying, go wide tribal slop.
>>
>>97801538
I like MKM in the same way I like SPM. If the set lore was palatable, I'd actually consider running the cards.
>>
>>97801538
I liked surveil lands, fetching for one feels like better than drawing a card sometimes, it's crazy
>>
>>97801489
I didn't really care for those first two but Bloomburrow was great and while Duskmourn was very hit or miss the hits were really good, I loved the monster design in it and overall I thought it was a very creative set, much more interesting then something like not-Harry Potter and other such shit

Barren broken worldbuilding that didn't even appease the woke activists obsessed with depictions of natives and western expansion. It's like they didn't even try.

I wonder if the idea of the plane being overrun by an army of intrepid detectives was something they had originally thought of as a development for New Capenna. The detective serial theme feels like it would be much closer to the Roaring Twenties tone they developed with that plane.
>>
>>97801673
It would have worked a lot better in Capenna and in many other planes too. Doing a murder mystery in Ravnica of all places just felt wrong.
>>
>>97801673
I swear I saw something saying that MKM was originally going to be New Capenna, but they panicked once they saw the poor reception of SNC and swapped it to Ravnica. Might've just been speculation though.
>>
>>97801708
If you think about it capenna is just a vertical version of ravnica.
>>
>>97801673
>>97801708
Maro has specifically said they started with "murder mystery" and then placed the plane. They thought about Capenna, but decided it was a poor fit because it doesn't have traditional "law enforcement" and its identity is tied up in crime being de facto legal. Take that with a grain of Maro salt of course.

I don't understand how that makes it a poor fit. The point of a murder mystery story is figuring out who the murderer is. Whether the people trying to figure that out are law enforcement or not is not the point. It can work just as well within a mafia setting.

Was there ever an in-universe explanation why the survivors dressed like flamboyant retards? I thought the world got turned into a house like 100 years ago and that the 5 color Victorian-looking girl was dressed like the average person at the time the world got converted. But if it's a giant hell-house-world that people are in full survival mode in 24/7 there wouldn't be time for new trendy fashion to develop.
>>
>>97801727
they didn't pick capenna because people already wore hats there
>>
>>97801748
I am right there with you man. His excuse stinks, but that's what he said.

I wonder if part of the intention was to separate it from Shadows Over Innistrad, which had Jace playing detective as its main storyline, although it was not a murder mystery exactly.
>>
Pitch for DSK 2: make demons artifact creatures. All the ACs being toys was lame as shit. The fundamental premise of the whole plane was that people developed technology by incorporating demons, right up until someone inevitably summoned a demon too big and nasty to cram into a Walkman. But the demon cards in DSK are all just monoblack creatures that look like Slender Man with a bull cranium for a head. There's no techy motif at all in the cards. And all the technological devices used by survivors is just shit like music players and hockey sticks with green Tron lines on them, no demon shit visible. And again, all artifact creatures are stupid shit like plushies with teeth.

Give me some techno demons ffs Rosewater you made this layup and completely missed the mark on it, it's embarrassing to watch.

>Innistrad Remastered draft
>pulled a Laboratory Maniac in a nice print in one of the first rounds of drafting
>hehe cool, I'll just hang on to that because it's a funny card
>pull another lab maniac
>fuck it we ball
>90% blue 10% black deck with the sole goal of winning a single round with lab maniac
>ended up going 0-2, 2-1, 0-2 in total
so fortunate that 2nd opponent had a slow deck too, it was so much fun winning by the lab maniac win-con!
