Chris Cocks confirms Spider-Man set will be first of multiple major sets WotC collaborates with Marvel on in coming years.
🎵🎶Push it. Push it real good.🎶🎵
Man, am I glad I’ve bailed on Hasbro owned hobbies.
Strangely enough, I’ve come to enjoy 3d printing warhammer over magic and d&d.
@itsJoelle @SlippiHUD 3D printers are very bad at making mtg cards ;p
I bet they’re great at making YuGiOh Tablets
I think this is just unfortunately where the game is going. They’ll put more and more money and set design effort into these and less into the standard sets.
Well we are getting 5 standard sets this year…
I don’t think it’s the volume of sets that will suffer, but the quality of the set design in those sets. I feel like if resources are allocated more towards the UB cards we’ll see all the cool and interesting mechanics and cards printed in those sets and then Standard becomes the afterthought.
@mike @nokturne213 I fully agree from this, especially with corporate’s push to minimize costs (aka employees).
I agree. I wish the UB sets would end. LoTR made sense. Even 40k had an mtg feel and it brought two great groups together. But, and I say this as someone who has been watching Doctor Who since Tom Baker, they have gone too far.
As great of a set as Bloomburrow is, Duskmourn was that bad. It is selling like shit. They should have dropped DSK instead of making it earlier.
Yea I agree w/ all that. I was actually very excited and bought into LTR but these future UB sets are just not close enough to the in-game lore imo.
DSK seems like it has some fervent draft fans but I also think it’s not a very interesting or fun set. The set’s setting and lore also seem at odds with Magic historically.
They tried the horror thing with Midnight Hunt/Crimson Vow, and it failed. So they tried it with Markov Manor, and it failed. So they tried it with Duskmourn and it failed.
Each set has had some good cards, but as a whole the sets suck. Both full cards lists and story.
@nokturne213 @mike We are? Oh, I hadn’t realised that :(
Duskmourn was bumped up to make space for Foundations.
@nokturne213 <this is fine.gif>
Thanks, I hate it
@andrew Anyone know where Hasbro has said this? As it obviously goes against WotC saying they know how to predict how much to print…
@andrew Elsewhere a friend dup up: it was in the earnings call.
So yeah, this directly contradicts WotC’s position that they know how much to print. WotC just flat lying to us.
