So I’m assuming you had the same problem with jumping from Indian steampunk plane, to Egyptian mythology plane, to Aztec/Vampire/Dinosaur plane? Or Adventure party plane to Viking plane to Harry Potter plane? So much jumping around! /s
You’re acting like this is somehow breaking the mold here when it’s just the standard. Seems more like you’re just trying to find things to complain about, including made up memeified strawman situations to justify your contentious mindset.
While I don’t feel as negatively about these sets as the other poster, the attempt to be “flashy” strikes me the wrong way. Even though it’s been years now, I feel the same was true for the sets you listed in your response.
I understand that they’re trying to market to a broad audience and generate hype for cool new worlds / themes / crossovers, but I’d prefer if the sets were slower and we spent more time on each plane.
I realize this topic has been beaten to death and I have a bit of old man bias with this, but I’m not thrilled that trend is continuing.
For sure. It can definitely go too far sometimes. Personally, I do prefer this to getting stuck on one setting for too long, and I definitely don’t miss block drafts, but there’s obviously a balance to be struck and I can commiserate with those not looking forward to so much variation.

I’ll wait for more details, but yeah this doesn’t look too good.

What are you even judging them on? We know pretty much nothing about any of it yet.
