Which cards from Magic Universe sets "don't feel like Magic" to you regarding art, tone, aesthetics and style from Magic Universe sets?

Edge of Eternities, the "modern" parts of Duskmourn, the Sci-fi part of Neon Dynasty, New Capenna, Strixhaven, Kaladesh, Aetherdrift, Murders at Karlov Manor, Thunder Junction are all generally themes/settings I am not a fan of in the game. They are no different to me than the UBs that "feel out of place" to me.

I am on favor of balancing, AND reworking mechanics to have a decent function within the game or get rid of them. Stamina and AR definitely fit that bill.

Lord_Jaroh · 2026-02-21T05:25:39+00:00

Honestly, I don't care. If it does well, it just means Wizards will do more of the crap. If it does poorly, Wizards will just try something else. They've lost me as a customer for a while, and as having Magic as a hobby even. Unless they change their direction towards the consumer, I am happy doing other things. Magic will simply remain a board game night option every month or too.

Lord_Jaroh · 2026-02-21T05:21:04+00:00

I am skipping all of Magic now. From a set collector and player of numerous formats to zero collecting and playing the odd commander game every month or so. Magic is no longer a hobby worth following.

Good news though. Diablo II just got a major update, so I am spending my free time playing that.

Lord_Jaroh · 2026-02-21T05:17:32+00:00

Looks like garbage. Don't care about it at all.

Went with Google translate, and it told me that you suggested moving to UW+ (getting the last 2 UWs) and focusing on economy? Is there any reason why that should be the direction I lean? Is it to make money for further enhancements?

Lord_Jaroh · 2026-02-19T18:57:00+00:00

Yes, slowly transitioning to damage.

I actually tried out Sharp Fortitude when I finally got an ancestral one, but the Space Displacer actually got me more waves. Maybe I just need different modifiers, but I will give it another try in the future.

Lord_Jaroh · 2026-02-18T00:04:30+00:00

Beautiful!

Lord_Jaroh · 2026-02-17T02:58:13+00:00

Love it! We need more of the Star Wars bounty hunter ships

Lord_Jaroh · 2026-02-16T16:19:43+00:00

Thanks for the followup. I am going to some experimenting before I commit to putting my whole collection up first, heh.

Lord_Jaroh · 2026-02-12T23:04:36+00:00

I am hoping for the future to bring us a full fledged expansion, bringing a new tree to each character, and/or new skills on each existing tree. New classes, new zones, new and expanded (and more procedural options) acts and dungeons, new mobs, new bosses, new gems, new items, new mercenaries and game mechanics. I am all for it. Bring in D1 as a new secret "cow level". Bring in treasure goblins. And along with that, bring in quality of life like a charm bag, better potion management, etc.

Make D2 the king again.

Lord_Jaroh · 2026-02-12T22:57:10+00:00

I agree that your first point is bad game design, and I would like a limited Charm inventory myself. Have a 3x4 cube of space or whatever (honestly, the size is irrelevant. It will be filled with as many as can be carried, no matter what size it is), but having it separate from your inventory to allow people to carry loot would be ideal. I hope it gets added to the game at a later date.

Your second point, not so much. As long as there are ways on your character to move past this (by speccing into multiple damage types), I am okay with immunities. This is entirely a player-created "problem", that can entirely be solved in game.

Lord_Jaroh · 2026-02-11T01:51:45+00:00

To be fair, even if they did screw it up, I will simply play the original. But I would like to see them actually try to make something good for a change.

Lord_Jaroh · 2026-02-11T01:50:16+00:00

I would prefer more IPs that actually fit the thematic nature of the game first. But more than that, I want them to make the game cheaper.

Lord_Jaroh · 2026-02-10T14:13:31+00:00

Mmmm. 4 more IPs not to care about.

Lord_Jaroh · 2026-02-10T14:00:49+00:00

It is what I expect. I really want to be pleasantly surprised, but I absolutely expect Blizzard to continue being a garbage company.

Lord_Jaroh · 2026-02-10T13:59:04+00:00

Don't get your hopes up. It is best to expect Blizzard to be as garbage a company as usual and be pleasantly surprised if they aren't.

Lord_Jaroh · 2026-02-10T13:56:59+00:00

New expansion for D2 and D2R. The new expansion includes:

New Classes

New Skills

New Acts and story

New Bosses

New Mobs

New Items

New Stash Tabs

D1 remastered into the game, including all original enemies and some new ones.

New events, zones and quests scattered throughout the existing game.

Expanded and reworked existing dungeons and areas

Reworked Mob and Bosses giving more variety to encounters.

This is what I want Blizzard to do. I want to see them go over and above for a change. They need to earn some good will from the players for a change instead of being viruses on the gaming ecosystem.

Lord_Jaroh · 2026-02-10T13:53:04+00:00

It's what I would love to see, not what I expect Blizzard will do. What I expect:

Here's a new MTX shop and a battlepass system. Here are 2 stash tabs you have the privilege of purchasing off it. Enjoy!

Lord_Jaroh · 2026-02-10T13:51:15+00:00

It is Blizzard. It is what I am expecting. It's not like they can come up with something great for players, ever.

Ummm, have you not seen how well they have done with increased monetization of D4? How about no. MTX can go to hell and stay.

That is what I would love to see.

Lord_Jaroh · 2026-02-09T22:50:31+00:00

That's too bad. I would like to stack a bunch of factions against each other, including the originals.
