man mtg has really sold the fuck out so glad i dropped all this rubbish a decade ago
mtg for everyone but the mtg players

magic?
nah
planewalkers gathering?
nope

what garbage

>>723085291
At least these ones are just Commander cards. No one with taste gives a fuck about Commander.

Magic is so dead. All this licenced crap probably can't be reprinted anyway

>Nu Kratos power is that GOOOOOOOOOOOOODS and MY WIFE'S SON
fixed

>four crossover sets in 2026 and three originals
Shit sucks.

I'm really glad I was prejudiced against mtg in high school. I don't care how autistic any given card game is at a base line, at least with yugioh you don't have to drink onions to be welcome to the table.

>>723085508
At least the two originals look very good.

Reality Fracture is probably gonna be some meme shit that will be novel for a few weeks but get boring after that, same as War of the Planeswalkers and Phyrexian Finale

I haven't been keeping track, do we know if this is gonna actually be like this on Arena or is this another Marvel situation?

>>723085975
Only the marvel shit(spiderman and the 2026 set) gets the omenpaths treatment, this shit is going to arena.

>>723085975
Marvel sets get an OCDONOTSTEAL set for Arena because Marvel Snap exists and Disney doesn’t want to compete against itself. Everything else that’s a regular set and not Commander/Secret Lairshit is in Arena normally.

Fuck. This is the worst one we haven't been able to dodge yet. I can't tell if I hate this or Star Trek more.

It's funny that Final Fantasy was actually really good, and they're following it up with all this slop. It's like they knew they'd have to try and build goodwill before dumping all this garbage on people.

>>723086154
I'd argue star trek fits better with mtg than TMNT, we already had robots n shit back in urza times and now edge of eternities
Though i will admit star trek is gay as fuck

>>723086309
I didn't play it just like I won't play any of this slop. And like I didn't play LOTR, for that matter. Fuck UB.

>>723086376
I have the benefit of being a professional draftchad, so I get to play as much as I want for free, and even at that I can't stand to play this shit anymore.

>>723085137
this is an OP as hell card for just 3 lands
i played MTG at its peak in the early 00s and then it became more diluted and expensive so much that i had to drop it as a teenager eventhough i was really good at it.
>sleepover with my older brothers friends , playing till early dawn with random decks FFA
you are here
>MTG is gay now

>>723086154
For me there’s a direct line between the quality of a MTG crossover (in a vacuum) and how “real” the setting is. LOTR and Final Fantasy were the best ones because they’re fantasy settings completely divorced from reality, so if you pretend you don’t know the source material they could kind of be regular MTG planes. The Star Trek set might be OK. It’s not completely unrealistic, Earth exists, but the setting has far more weird shit than recognizable.

But the Ninja Turtles live in regular-ass New York City, a place that not only exists, but we just saw in the Spider-Man set.

let's go lazy cashout corporate whoredom!
even the youtube shills like career mtg streamers have fucking had it - I mean they've been like that for years but they've been on the fence and trying to defend shit slop all the way up until pizza lands

>>723086889
>It takes us 18 years to return to the Lorwyn plane
>It takes us 6 months to return to the New York plane

I used to make fun of the yugioh kids with their gay pendulum and fusion mechanics but I had no idea MTG could get this bad

>>723085289
As someone who loves the exalted mechanic I do like that Jin has an exalted type of ability that scales to multiplayer.
Other than that the only notable thing from these is that Gruul Ellie and Joel give you Jund pair with a sac outlet in the command zone so they could potentially see play in Cedh as a Protean Hulk deck. I'm not saying it's viable but I would t be surprised to run into at a tournament randomly.

>>723086889
if they had some spine or sense they would have bridged New York city as a setting, and maybe put out Spider-man & Turtles at the same time or at least adjacent for the new players (what new players?) to use the same lands and similar cards with similar art and a similar setting... maybe design the two to draft well together? Maybe? Since both the sets are so damned anemic??
"Standard" just looks like a Universe Beyond showcasing at this point, especially when these "standard releases" are like half a set each. Spider-man has a really low card count and I imagine it's not the exception since you can't really write a whole world with different ecosystems out of New York and Spider-man.
Standard barely rotates anymore too so it will creep up in power comically, just wait.

>New Capenna? no we're never going back there
>New York? absolutely, see you there next week!

I play Dwight's Weapon Cache to search for a Spider-Suit which I equip onto Jaws the Shark to turn it into a spider and attack your furby

>>723087831
its depressing to me to think there are people who get excited for this kind of product.

>the UBslop has gotten so bad even the bootlickers in the commander general can't bring themselves to like it
lmao

>>723087903
Those aren't as bsd because it's just a skin for an existin magic card. The ones that are orginial designs are the real cancer

>>723088352
no, "normalfag TV show character reference" is actually worse than mechanically unique ninja turtle.

>>723087831

no way that can't be rea-
