I hope it's good. I thought the first edition was dope. I've heard mixed reviews of the new edition, mostly from the established 2nd edition playerbase. The problem is you can't really reliably find 2nd edition cards anywhere so even if it's a superior game, it doesn't matter if no one plays it.

That is one gorgeous Serra Angel. Apparently his wife for the model.

Flashback 1999, the MTG scene was very strong in Colorado because some of the original artists were based in Boulder. One of those was Shuler, who would visit local gaming stores from time to time. Playing one Friday night at my LCS and in walks Shuler and the model for the original Serra Angel. They signed stuff for a bit, hung out for a bit with the people playing then headed out. Was a pretty cool experience for what should have been a random MTG night at the card shop.

This is a massive game. You've gotta specify format at least. There are so many annoying decks across a vast space of annoying formats.

In Historic right now everyone is bitching about The One Ring Control decks. I don't mind them so much, tho, my Esper Control pile is mainly just annoyingly weak to some random jank decks that don't show up as much at higher ranks, most notably stupid fucking Gates / Maze's End.

Any sort of static orb or winter orb deck usually gets the table to rage currently in our small group.
March of the machine decks are an unspoken rule to not play for casual play here as well.

In addition to the Jurassic Park cards, which are new, you've got SL's with Campbell's Evil Undead, The Princess Bride, and Creepshow. I will admit Ash as a Puresteel Paladin is a bit humorous. Prepare for Fright and Delight with Secret Lair's Spookydrop!
But we're so past the point of jumping the shark I'm just waiting for a G.I.Joe SL.

Monkey Paw time. You'll get the woke modern comic version with obese brown trannies.

Yeah, that seems to be their problem the last few years. I mean, how the hell do you mess up 2 D&D sets? But they managed to.

And those Bender's Game D&D references they could riff on would be one of the few meme level cartoony Universes Beyond properties they could print in black border that even the edge lords wouldn't bitch about as far as ruining their immersion. Futurama crossover merchandising is one of those things that "genre" fans will forever forgive being pandered to over.

Judging by the demand and price increases of Baldur's Gate cards following the release of BG3, if Larian had hit their original target, that set would have been much better received at launch. It's a good set, with cool cards, that was lost in the shuffle. And now with the game coming out, everyone is going back and looking at them with fresh eyes.

Out with Draft and Set boxes, in with Play boxes. What Are Play Boosters?
36 packs, but will cost more than current Set Booster Boxers. Going live with Murders at Karlov Manor. Still leaving those stupid art cards in. Does anyone actually care about those?
