Nov 30, 2017Tiro of Meletis posted a message on If You Can't Take Criticism of Jeremy Hambly, You're Part of the ProblemActually, this article is the entire problem. Neo-Nazis? Really? Way to buy into propaganda. And the Trump reference about "locker room talk" - way to push your political agendas on a card game forum and assume your opinions are the status quo, and the only right way to think. That's why everyone is sick of liberals and SJWs. Arrogance and ignorance. No one gives a damn bro, we're here for card games. Get over yourselves and off your righteous soapbox.Posted in: Articles

It’s a cheap method to reduce the lore to the least common denominator. Planeswalkers. Eliminate elements that actually confer some identity and interest in a plane, relegating it to nothing more than a backdrop or setting for the same recurring characters we can (and do) see everywhere already, so that nothing else stands out. Really robs the lore of any flavor, stakes and dimension.
The setting is interesting. I like the Obscura a lot
Love all the Elspeth art and lore thus far as well
my only complaint this far is if Ob kills Xander. I’m sick to death or Planeswalkers and would prefer to only have Elspeth here and explore her backstory and the history of the plane instead of Ob and the worst character in MtG, Vivian, who had the worst stories
I personally don't mind the noir or advanced technology aspects in fantasy. I just don't like the implications of that key art, in which Planeswalkers override flavorful legends in the lore. It's a recurring theme that makes them feel hollow and cheap, with no obstacles or challenges. I felt the same about Tibalt defeating a god on Kaldheim, in their own domain and on their own turf. At the end of the day, it's my opinion. I don't require approval to state it. I've been critical of this ever since Gideon's surral stalled an Eldrazi titan.
I’ve been wrong before. I also complained about C18 not featuring Serra and it turned out to have Arixmethes. Which we all know I adored. I’d like to be wrong about Ob killing a new character but we’ll see.
and just as we're introduced to them no less
Nice Innistrad themed legends. I miss when we had Commander decks introducing more characters from past planes, as a peek while we await a return.
