Its only going to get more rampant especially since Wizards has stated they have changed their design and playtest philosphy with F.I.R.E in which they are deliberately pushing the power level of sets (See Oko and his forty Elks).
The first one has a lorwyn fae feel to it.
The second one kind of reminds me of thran/urza tech, similar Storage Matrix, but its meant to be on a sorcery.
The third one reminds me of Yawgmoth as he is depicted in his non-human state, or Carnophage.
"Tacky holiday sweater" proceeds to depict a white mountain range with snowy trees, so possibly a snow taiga?
Unnamed planeswalker proceeds to create a demiplane with (Raw skill/ Raw Power / An Artifact / Friends / A mix of the prior).
Demiplane is basically a super anime version of the the matrix.
Unsuspecting planeswalkers that visit the actual plane get knocked out.
Then they get hooked up via a magical neural jack to the new anime demiplane.
In which our heroes are Isekai'd and trapped in the equivalent of a multi-genre video game.
On one hand its not unreasonable as a lot of MTG's mechanics could easily translate into an anime-styled setting. DFC for example easily work for things like Magical Girls, while Emerge is kaiju and giant robots.
But on the other hand, if I wanted anime-styled card games, there are plenty of alternatives like Yu-Gi-Oh or Force of Will. That the only reason they would be tapping into this market is because their test run with the anime-styled walkers went extremely well.
