Number of standard sets per year is the same as it ever was as far as I know. The masters sets are reprints, so nothing new. Forgotten Realms sold extremely well, and as someone who doesn't know anything about D&D it was literally just another MtG set for me. Not a huge fan of the mechanics but most of the set-specific mechanics are geared more toward limited play anyway. No one has to buy any UB, and we have no idea how "pushed" the cards will actually be regardless (if TWD is any indication, not all that much). Commander players will literally just buy singles unless they're genuinely interested in the set, and there are 0 cards you HAVE to own to "stay relevant" in a casual format. For me--I liked Commander Legends and again, Baldur's Gate might as well just be some new plane to me so I could personally care less if it's a crossover.
The Pioneer announcement is a little weird, but I guess they're trying to push it again with in-store play returning. I'm guessing they'll be every bit as good as any other event deck; i.e., not that great but better than a starter.
Truly this mindset makes no sense to me. Buy the stuff you like, don't buy the stuff you don't like, if you want to be hyper-competitive that's your choice and just buy the singles you need.
