チャガタイくん@喜多川海夢推しSomeone in the comments section mentioned "gatekeeping" in the context of MtG getting less and less about Magic and more about featuring non-Magic IPs. I guess it could not be helped if Magic's creative team has been dried up for the past decade or so. Hasbro isn't helping either because all they want is profits despite churning out substandard product at an overwhelming rate.
The LGBT-themed Secret Lair Drop that they released way back is the least of their problems. At least that particular SLD still was well within Magic IP territory.
@Moto_Chagatai OFC they also pick the stupidest shit, like LOTR at the least fits (ignoring negorn and the rest of that shit) but fucking Fallout, 40K, Walking Dead ETC.
@Witch_Hunter_Siegfired Street Fighter lmao To be fair, these are premium/limited products but the fact they exist just proves MtG's creatives have run dry
@HonkHonkBoom@Witch_Hunter_Siegfired Hasbro doesn't want people to play Magic, they want people to BUY Magic Let's see if that gameplan worked out swimmingly for them:
@Immahnoob@Moto_Chagatai@Witch_Hunter_Siegfired As stupid as these cards are, I actually much prefer them since they're just proxies for actual Magic cards. I stop having fun when you're forced to play licensed IP stuff for specific effects.
