    They alienated their core fans and it made them a shit load of money, fucking sucks, marvel was the last straw for me, finally decided to give up after over 20 years of MTG

      Yeah I’ve finally got disposable income and wanted to get back into MTG, but part of what I loved was the universe and setting. Just doing Marvel and TMNT sets kinda sucks the fun out of that.

      The number of tie-ins is just silly, but I view it as not yucking someone else’s yum. Sure, not all the expansions appeal to me, but due to the sheer number there are certain to be some that do! Particularly of note are Stardew Valley, Dwarf Fortress, D&D, Final Fantasy and The Hobbit. Most times it’s just alternate card art for cards that already exist in the primary release, so where’s the harm?

      I sincerely think the only ones offended are those who were trying to maintain a perfect collection, or are those who take the game too seriously and are therefore offended by the silliness of some of the cards. Such as those from Deathpool, or maybe Garfield.
