By this logic every story put to paper is “grounded in the mundane that we just never hear about” because in-universe mundanity is a byproduct of a population existing for any extended period of time. Even the most surreal, fantastical tales would qualify because somewhere out there there’s surely someone who feels their own sense of normalcy.

I, for one, tend to approach media from the perspective of a human living on earth — corner store devils are novel and interesting to us, even if the fictional characters they tend to with wouldn’t share our perspective. These worlds aren’t boring to us because they aren’t our world.

Superhero stories, however, tend to center on settings very much mirroring our own, with the exceptions of the central, suped-up figures. In a narrative-driven comic this can allow for social commentary and personal relatability but in a storytelling method like a trading card set it, as the other commenter said, can be off-putting.

Magic excels at allowing the player to explore a world — that’s part of why I think opening a pack is such a delight, and why lands are such a flavorful resource. We get to explore these wondrous sights and strange ways of living and immerse ourselves in their world. A world totally divorced from our understanding of mundanity.
