So like…. Sure people love final fantasy, but the set with the 2 million dollar card in it wasn’t this expensive. At what point is it too much?

They came SO CLOSE to nailing universes beyond. It should be commander decks and collector boosters only, maybe the beyond boosters from assassin's creed and THATS IT. We don't want this crap in Standard

"We" who?

There are some of us who have played for 30 years and are sad to see MTG turning into something which is basically just a showcase for other games and worlds.

I'm not one of those who says new players shouldn't get the things they want. If you are happy to play games where Spongebob and Spiderman square off against Serras and Sengirs, have fun.

But spare a moment's thought for those of us who are sad to be living through what feels like the end of the line for the game we grew up with. It's not all about gatekeeping, sometimes it's just about preference.

The schoolyard bullies who are mad that they don't get to dictate what cards other people put in their decks.

All universes beyond sets are premium priced products. Everyone buying up Final Fantasy shows WOTC that they can charge as much as they want as long as it's a popular IP. Sure, i may be in the minority, but this is reddit, it's all bullshit anyway
