That Johannes Voss set is beautiful. I just want a giant version of that Carpet of Flowers for my wall.


One more set of stuff too, for when trolling with full-text lands wasn't enough:

I'm all about old border cards. But turning Planeswalkers into them is just horrid. Fuck trying to read that shit.

None of these sets' art really calls out to me, unfortunately, though if I had to choose, those Jung Shan cards are just really beautiful with the colors.

Kamigawa looks awesome.

New Capena looks like Amarout from FF14, I think this looks too modern for MTG, which is weird since the image of the cyberpunk plane looks oddly fitting.

Dominara United sounds very SJW.

How hard are they going to retcon things in The Brother's War set?
One of the diverse new planeswalkers (Saheehi?) is going to go back in time and be Urza's apprentice, but actually she teaches him more than he teaches her and she puts him in his old, white, pale and stale place.

Meanwhile Elesh Norn has also gone back in time and ursurps Yawgmoth to create a more color diverse old Phyrexia.

For 25 years, other games copied Magic and used popular IP to make money.

Now WotC gets to copy Magic and use popular IP to make money.

Truly, we have advanced as a people.
