>>10066900Well yes, but more in the sense that
>Pre-War of The Spark - Lore is primarily through the cards and web fiction, though older sets had novels as well.>War of the Spark drops and instead of sticking with what works they get the guy that writes/produces Young Justice to do a novel that focuses around a mary sue OC that doesn't even get a card in the set where literally every other major/minor character got a card and can apparently planeswalk even though that's a thing only Planeswalkers can do?>A couple months later they don't even bother doing any proper web fiction for Theros Beyond Death and just write up a synopsis of the major storybeats for the set that barely passes the 1000 wordcount>New setting Ikoria is hyped up as a world of Monsters and Kaiju so people go in expecting something Monster Hunter/Godzilla, but it's more like watered down Pokemon and there's only like 5-6 creatures in the set you could call "Kaiju">Kaldheim introduces Niko Aris, a non-binary planeswalker that has little to no impact at all on the events of the set, whose card saw little to no play anywhere, and was really just there for diversity points>Strixhaven is literally just Harry Potter but with 5 houses instead of 4>The big set next year that's supposed to be the climax of the last several years of lore (ie: New Phyrexia preparing for a plane-wide invasion of the multiverse) is looking to mimic Avengers Endgame in terms of "hoyp/Everyone is Here!" It used to just be kinda okay fantasy stuff but then it just turned into quippy MCU bullshit. At least they brought back Phyrexians I guess
