Wow I legitimately thought this was fake at first. Bloomburrow looks like it could be fun but really not loving more UBs and what seems like 0 connection between sets anymore. Another Modern Horizons as well, yikes. Hate that just none of this really appeals to me.
Wow, this feels so different! I think I’ll be checking out for more of the 2024 sets than I had anticipated. Bloomburrow looks sweet, I love that we’re doing ravnica remastered, and the murders at karlov manor set could be cool
Wow, this is wild. Drifting very far from the previously established Magic aesthetic. I actually think the ‘Murders at Karlov Manor’ set could be really cool; I was pleasantly surprised by how New Capenna turned out. And definitely looking forward to Redwall world.
Oh wow this looks… Terrible.
It is an absolutely Freakshow. I mean I love western, but I am not excited about a “western plane”. They are trying too hard. Just make a big immersive plane where there are also regions similar to the wild west. I hate “let’s do thing X as a plane” design. No immersion there.
Then two sets are about a mansion, like wtf, and then, two useless UB sets.
Only the animal world and MH3 could be neat. And I hoped there would be no more MH sets anymore.
What are you even judging them on? We know pretty much nothing about any of it yet.
Just look at the names and pictures. Almost everything will suck. They jump around between very narrow stereotypical themes like crazy. If they had announced just 3 bloomburrow sets, I think people would have been much more happy.
I can imagine a meeting at wotc hq. Discussion about s new upcoming set. Someone: “hey how about we make a set in a western setting?” And he got promoted and everyone stood up and cheered and was crying about his genius mind
So I’m assuming you had the same problem with jumping from Indian steampunk plane, to Egyptian mythology plane, to Aztec/Vampire/Dinosaur plane? Or Adventure party plane to Viking plane to Harry Potter plane? So much jumping around! /s
You’re acting like this is somehow breaking the mold here when it’s just the standard. Seems more like you’re just trying to find things to complain about, including made up memeified strawman situations to justify your contentious mindset.
I don’t know how to feel about it. I don’t want do be negative, but after seeing the prices for the actual Commander-Decks, i don’t feel like buying much or hoping for good pre-cons for “normal” prices in 2024. I really anticipated the new sliver deck for months and somehow i felt really disappointed. The mana base feels like every other pre-con. For the price they could at least include a sliver hive.
