    I haven’t kept up with Magic for a couple of years now, is it really just a bunch of crossovers now? Does this really sell that much? I think crossover sets are cool from time to time, but every time I hear about Magic nowadays is something negative because of the crossover sets.

      Final fantasy did gangbusters. Spiderman is looking like itll flop, but its also just a poorly designed set to play. I only started a few months ago so idk how baldurs gate or lotr did

        I didn’t even know there was Baldur’s Gate set lmao. I haven’t really bought cards in years and haven’t played in months. WOTC also left my country, so it’s probably really expensive to play Magic now.

        Baldur’s gate reception was pretty lukewarm when it came out as bg3 was still in early access, most of the cards got popular when Bg3 hit full release

        Until Final Fantasy was released, LotR was the highest selling set of all time. The problem with Universes Beyond is no one likes it, until it’s an IP they do like, then they buy lots of it. And because they’ve been licensing every IP under the sun they can get their hands on, inevitably they rope people in.

        Also I’m sorry you started playing Magic in the FIRE and UB era. The game has been an absolute shit show since around 2019.
