I always loved mtg because it felt like its own universe. Decisions had weight, we learned about important leaders and events through cards, and we got to feel connected with each plane we visited. The art was directed to capture the spirit of each plane. We could get attached to planeswalkers, or pick a favorite tribe, or try out quirky mechanics!
Anyway it will be a cold day in hell before I play against Transformers, SpongeBob, and Spider-Man in a commander game. Hasbro has killed mtg for people like me. Might as well bring back Venser and slap some NASCAR patches on him. Fuck it, let's go back to Innistrad and get a Hotel Transylvania tie in!
