Hmm. I still don't know how I feel about these crossovers. Their apprehension to just go full ham and make them Standard legal rubs me the wrong way, but at the same time, I get it. I love Commander, but I'm tired of it becoming their "here's where we put all the ideas that aren't normal" format. It's kinda a shitshow at this point. But on a more positive note, they do make for some really neat collector's items and the flavor is usually magnificent. I'd much rather keep having this than Secret Lair reprints of older cards. I would probably buy every Commander deck if they do the same thing with FF that they did with Warhammer.

All Tonberry deck!

I know how I feel about them. I think they absolutely suck, and deliberately avoid any set involving them. But I think most new sets in general suck, so it's not really a sea change or anything.

Though I think the idea of putting M:tG into D&D bothered me more than putting D&D/Warhammer/etc into M:tG does. But part of that might be because I think Ravnica is a shit setting. I might have been less annoyed by it if it was pre-Revisionist Dominaria or something.

WotC feels like it's kind of self-destructing at the moment. Like they've realized the gravy train has a very finite end coming up very, very fast, and now they're panicking and trying to squeeze as much out of the current D&D fad as they can before it dies off again. Tabletop roleplaying in general and D&D specifically has always been a bit cyclical.

That looks awful.

I'm pretty happy I'm not playing magic anymore,
