@CardGardenMTG It’s like buying a paperweight that can’t weight paper

@mikecarrozza Well too bad, we gotta stop using this site

[Michael, Lord of Licids @GamesfreakSA]

@mikecarrozza Get on Bluesky

[Michael, Lord of Licids @GamesfreakSA]

Please

@Dunkatog Does this mean that ie Abundance wouldn’t work either? What about skipping the draw outright?

[Michael, Lord of Licids @GamesfreakSA]

Hey @Dunkatog, I got a rules question judges are conflicting on. If I cast Plagiarize targeting myself, and then swing Mr. Foxglove at a player with more cards, do I get to both draw cards and put a creature from my hand onto the battlefield?

@mikecarrozza You didn’t have to tweet this

[Michael, Lord of Licids @GamesfreakSA]

@mikecarrozza @amithebolcast Because the anime art contains prominent bazongas and tithe starts with tit so I made a pun I’m sorry it was the breast I could do

@JasonEAlt You don’t *have* to buy the cards

[Michael, Lord of Licids @GamesfreakSA]

I've heard discourse that half of the sets being Universes Beyond is "too much," but the amount of resources being put into Universes Beyond isn't disproportionate or unwarranted. Companies go where the money is. If it didn't sell, then it wouldn't be happening. 1/?

With Foundations, the damage assignment order no longer exists, effectively giving attacking creatures reverse Banding

At the end of the day, it's unhealthy to allow the very real enthusiasm people have for these products to make you feel like your hobby (or fun) is somehow denatured by association with them.

If you dislike UB that much, find likeminded people to play with.

You are allowed to enjoy the things you enjoy. Magic's aesthetics will exist outside of Universes Beyond and you can continue to enjoy them. Similarly, people into the crossovers can continue to enjoy the crossovers.
