Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
I think the mechanic is too pushed for a Core set. It also seems designed for EDH as it's purposefully slowed down on all cards so far. I like the flavor and the tropes, but that won't open my wallet.

It's a set full of Emerald Charms with shitty names that are hard to remember. Everything is modal, which means everything is weak. Then you stack on an incredibly parasitic mechanic with dungeons, and you're all set for a Kamigawa level shit show.
The simple fact is that without story, DND isn't fun. They 're trying to evoke tabletop play, but they can only emulate the worst bits.

Yep. I haven't played Magic for 6 years, but I've been checking in on the FR set because I'm a massive D&D fan (fuck WoTC though) and the naming conventions really do suck. They're almost campy or like something you'd see in a starter set for a new player campaign. I'm not sure how to describe it.

Kamigawa was a pretty cool limited set and had some fun interactions, it was just had a relatively low power level and was coming off of a block with one of the highest power levels ever so it had a very minimal impact on Standard and constructed in general in comparison.
This set seems similar in that low powered modal spells could probably create a fairly interesting limited format, but the set mechanics are so bad that I'm not sure that will actually happen. The set will be pretty lackluster for constructed.

Yes, this set is campy as fuck. But a lot of the cards make me snicker a little bit, from old D&D tropes and gaming memories.
I think a lot of you would be much happier if the set was officially a Universes Beyond set, which it really should be.

It should be a stand alone set like Conspiracy. That would help.

they're trying to power down standard because it's been trash since throne of eldraine and way too powerful, this is more normal
FIRE was a failure
Powerful MTG decks have never bothered me. Even if I get smoked in say... PTQ's. It's just the nature of the game, and something I have never thought of as bad. I get some cards are busted and such, but I think the answer never should lie in dumbing down sets. It should lie in bans and or better answers as needed.
Still. I am glad they are trying this crossover.

Yeah but a lapsed MTG player who still plays D&D is going to be more likely to buy shitty premium alt card cards because it looks like their childhood D&D manual.
It's 100% cross promotion to increase engagement with both games.
