>teenage mutant ninja turtles>avatar the last air bender>Spiderman>final fantasyIs anybody else as sick of the crossover shit in MTG as me? I didn't mind when it was DND and LOTR. But this game lost all it's identity. Just from trying to appeal to slop eating retards. I am fine with your stupid f*ggot secret lair SpongeBob cards (I just doubt your sanity and acumen). but keep that shit out of standard. Keep your cancer crossover cards in that cesspit known as casual commander. I don't want aang or pizza eating turtles in my fucking standard. Keep that filthy garbage at your commander tables. When i play standard keep that shit away from me. Keep your "dwight schrut the office" cards at yout lonely loser locals commander table. When i am playing standard I want to see cool fantasy stuff. It's standard, not "tmnt, spider man, final fantasy, airbender" SLOPPPPI got to mythic rank in the online magic game but it's not even worth playing now.
>>97872959>final fantasyFinal Fantasy did so well that WotC is going to keep chasing that dragon, fans of universes within sets be damned.
>>97872959A lot of people are sick of it, but paypigs slurp up that slop without a second thought and stuff Hasbro's coffers with more than enough profit for them to not care how angry some people are.
>>97873099So did lord of the rings
I'm going to keep buying the final fantasy set until Hasbro realizes that they need to give up everything else they're doing and focus on printing sets with big tittied anime girls.
>>97873099It's disappointing that supposed universe within fans will gladly buy the crossover slop because sepiroth and pizza turtle are meta.>>97873131I haven't bought cards in awhile but I dropped the game a bit after they added final fantasy to standard. To my understanding most of the recent standard sets have been out of universe so to my understanding it's tmnt and spider man vs final fantasy now, featuring minor appearances from strixhaven.
>>97873165We had universe within anime tittie girls before final fantasy.
>>97872959At least Final Fantasy was still in-theme. TMNT, Marvel, 40k, Fallout, Doctor Who etc are all really out of place.
>>97872959I haven't played in over a decade, still got a handful of decks, and I really don't mind Final Fantasy, or any fantasy with a reasonable amount of magic for that matter, crossing over.Dr. Who, Fallout, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, WH40k (fantasy would've been okay), Transformers... those are all abominations, and I will never purchase another MTG product, directly nor indirectly.
>>97872959Brand recognition and loyalty sells anon, especially to retards. It will never stop.
If you liked the D&D and LotR sets you're genuinely part of the problem
>>97872959>I didn't mind when it was DND and LOTR
>>97873099>fans of universes within sets be damnedI'd feel bad for them if any of them actually existed. MtG has always been a game about mechanics. The overwhelming majority of the player base never gave a fuck about the game's lore or characters or art. The only thing that ever mattered to 99.99% of the people who played this game is what is written on the card. If there was an amazing character from a set with an incredible story with art drawn by one of the premier artists like Seb but it was a 5+ mana 1/3 creature with "(2): this creature gets +1/+0 and trample until end of turn activate only as a sorcery" it would be a penny card and see zero play at basically any point in Magic's history, though a few people might throw it in a dusty binder because it "looks neat". Meanwhile if there was card of a character that basically had no story about them from one of the worst written sets of all time with some of the worst art imaginable but it was a 1 mana 0/2 creature with trample and haste and "whenever you cast a noncreature spell this creature gets +2/+0 until end of turn" it'd be a $40 dollar card and would be overused to the point that it might have to be banned.People crying about UB are the worst kind of retarded manchildren.
>>97872959My relationship to mtg goes>Get free deck>Get free decks for friends>This is kinda fun>We buy some boosters >This is still fun>I buy a theme deck with a Planeswalker>Everybody stops playingGlad I didn't overinvest desu.This was like, that Indian steampunk set and Amon-Khet days.
>didnt mind when it was my preferred intellectual propertyYou let it happen, King. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to start my turn while you shuffle your deck for the third time in yours.
>>97872959Sadly not because normies and WAAC metafags slurp it up without a second thought.
>>97875326Normies aren't a sustainable audience.Their interest is fleeting.They are always looking for the next thing.
>>97873225>>97873537How can you Magic Fags say the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles don't fit your cross dimensional fantasy free-for-all?
>>97876022A lot of people are turned off by the cynical nature of the whole "lets get a bunch of third rate licensed properties and do cross-promotions to boost our exposure" being the core of what is supposed to be like, and thing unto itself.Would you be terribly pleased if the thing you like for itself suddenly became a vehicle for some other franchise?Probably not.Don't play dumb.
>>97876022Chemical and electric signals, language, vocal cords...
>>97876326Also, I bask in the irony of being called a Magicfag when my post stated clearly I dropped the game and haven't played in a decade.
>>97876296>Would you be terribly pleased if the thing you like for itself suddenly became a vehicle for some other franchise?Buddy it's TMNT... What hasn't it been used to shill by now?
>>97872959Everybody have a Mythic rank. I stopped playing after black Aragorn and One Ring as a collectors item.
>>97873147As did the Spider-Man stuff.
>>97876296>the thing you like for itself suddenly became a vehicle for some other franchiseTheir fault for making Magic explicitly a multidimensional setting with no limits. It makes perfectly logical sense that any fictional setting that also dabbles in multiple dimensionshit can easily slot into MTGs world building.
>>97872959FF is the best UB set because Square didn't let them fuck it up and it had cool black guys like Barret and Sazh and not Aragyrone and Galadriquanda
>>97876296>Would you be terribly pleased if the thing you like for itself suddenly became a vehicle for some other franchise?That already happened to me when it got turned into magic cards. Card game players don't give a shit about art or characters or lore, just mechanica and scalping
>>97876022Does tmnt do multiverse stuff? Spiderman obviously, Final Fantasy I guess, AtLA not at all
>When i am playing standard I want to see cool fantasy stuff.>>97874802No replies despite this being the right answer It's an unfortunate truth but I doubt this is a secret, most card game fans will buy toilet paper art if the card is mechanically good. I'd be surprised if most of them really cared about fantasy as a genre(which early final fantasy and atla fall into anyway).It's a blessing and a curse. A blessing because it avoids investor demons trying to sneak their way in and scam lorefags like in pokemon, a curse because of the aforementioned toilet paper card.
>>97878029>Their fault for making Magic explicitly a multidimensional setting with no limits. It makes perfectly logical sense that any fictional setting that also dabbles in multiple dimensionshit can easily slot into MTGs world building.>>97878245Exactly, plus the Turtles were one of the first to do it.
>>97873225Please, black magic in final fantasy is clearly red in mtg.
>>97873225Doctor Who was fine. It was outside of most formats, was (unlike the others) strangely a labor of love--to the point nearly the majority of cards belong to less popular eras like the 1960s B&W first Doctor, and the art was great. It was fun in its own little box. But it was also the sign of the end. What they could do well, even harmlessly, once they can do awfully for mass profit forever.
>>97878029>In our canon all canons are canonThen what you have is slurry.Everything-soup.What is -not- included is as important to the form of the thing as what is.I'm just not impressed by this "Throw in the whole spice rack" approach for the same reason that it doesn't work when cooking.It's cheap, lazy, shows that they are done putting actual creative energy into the thing.
>>97872959next one is Marvel Superheroes, right?
>>97872959Idiot It worked for fortnite so all companies will do the same thing for the next 40 years
