    Honestly, that’s great that you enjoy them! I think the negativity is the sets aren’t self-contained. Once they’re released, they’re a part of magic and the eternal formats forever. Especially for those who have played for decades, that identity shift of the game is jarring.

    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.


  • I’m sure the next few days before the surgery are going to be tough emotionally for both of you. It sounds like your SO likely doesn’t realize how worried they are or how much it’s affecting them, but giving them a little space is a good move.

    Try not to beat yourself up for getting upset - it’s a perfectly normal reaction, especially in a stressful situation like this. Luckily there’re a few days before the procedure so you can hopefully discuss it and be supportive of each other. This internet stranger is sending love!
