I think it's legit to criticize a game that was fantasy only (about MAGIC) for decades ... when it stopped being that.

- josh_p 4mo agoI suppose that’s fair. I also think it’s okay for a game that’s been around as long as magic has to change a bit. Maybe an agree to disagree situation.
- Ferret7446 4mo agoA setting with planeswalkers is just asking for random "in universe" collabs. Same disease as multiverses. Note to writers: yes, adding multi dimension shenanigans keeps your options open, but remember that limitation breeds creativity.
- denotes 4mo agoRichard Garfield recently stated in an interview with The Professor that he took heat back in the day for pushing to have goblins with guns. Playing with the world aspect of the game’s design is as old as the game itself!I agree that it’s fair for anyone to criticize a divergence from a preferred game atmosphere. I also personally don’t mind, because looking at images on cardboard has never felt like an immersive experience. I like the game because of the strategy - so long as the cards tell some story with the graphics I don’t much care what that story is.
