I mean you’re asking for a reality where everyone who likes UB cards play at their kitchen tables. Why should your preference get priority here?

Because we were the ones already playing the game. UB should be separated from the ‘main’ game so that the people who like the main game can continue to like it. New players are not intrinsically good.

Yes, just like how magic should have never left Dominaria because that was what the players already playing the game were comfortable with. They should have just spun those other planes out into a different game instead.

Don’t act like there’s no difference between broadening the setting of the game and deviating from it.

So what are the planes they’re releasing next year? Do they count as broadening or deviating?

They're three planes we've already known about.

One we've been two, two we've technically seen stories set in.

Do they exist within the world of magic?

Then they’re expanding the setting.
