    I liked the stories around the Weatherlight crew more than the Jacestice League. I personally think it fits Magic more to have "human" and swashbuckling characters like Sisay and Gerrard than almight superbeings.
    I still like Planeswalkers, but I'm glad the lore will not focus too much on them in the future.

    I wouldn't mind seeing more episodes about specific Planeswalkers. I also want to know if Planeswalkers have ever encountered Eldrazi or how Planewalkers stack up against them. The lore on the cards seems to imply that if a big Eldrazi shows up in your neck of the woods you can just kiss existence goodbye.

    Just to add. What happened to Planeswalkers losing their sparks after New Phyrexia's invasion is officially referred to as the Great Pruning.
    The official reason for this change in lore is because Wizards of the Coast wants Magic to focus heavily on Commander, so the story reflects on that. So the majority of the story will now mostly focus on beings who are not Planeswalkers. We'll see Planeswalkers like Chandra of course, but the story will not revolve around them entirely.

    for me, the planeswalkers were a key gameplay mechanic that hooked me in to play it because I loved the lore of the character, and being able to own and play them was fun, but taking them/ reducing them out of the game kind of strips away the lore for the card game.
    like take Yugioh for an explanation take md or Blueeyes out of it wouldn't be fun if you are a Yugi or Kaiba fan. That is just my opinion.
    just for magic the whole story reveals around these iconic character who wouldn't want to use the min battle

      @fwg1994 ปีที่แล้ว

      Eh, I don't think they were really a major contributor to power creep. Like maybe the most significant power creep the game has ever seen, even with Oko and the early days of the FIRE philosophy, was like a year or so before planeswalkers came out. While the early planeswalkers warped the game around themselves and a new busted planeswalker would find its way into the top decks of formats every couple years or so afterwards, as well as the FIRE philosophy giving us War of the Spark, Oko, and some other planeswalker mistakes, if you look at power creep as a whole, I don't think it would've changed much if planeswalkers didn't exist. Something else would've filled the void. Without Oko or War of the Spark, the FIRE philosophy would've still given us Uro and Modern Horizons 2.
      Also without planeswalkers, we never would've gotten sagas, which I think are among some of the best designs in all of MtG. One of the early design ideas for planeswalkers was exactly what we have for sagas now, but was abandoned for not being thematic enough. The idea played well though, so they found a new theme for the mechanic and updated the visuals.

      ​@@MrZakuRetro The books weren't any better smh. The lore has always been full of contradictions and things that make 0 sense. Idk when you will realise this but MTG has always been about having themed cards around one thing not lore or lore accuracy. If you look at most sets to even the first set release Arabian Nights it's based on just theming, Arabian Nights barley has any story and is one of the worst planes in terms of that yet was the very first. But it's an amazing plane if you just look at it's theming, cards and importance to MTG history.
      Now let's look at Innistrad a more recent plane but old now, it's a dark themed plane with just a lot of darkness vampires, undead all the fun stuff. It's amazingly themed for those who love that. Now let's look at the story... Umm Vampire good guy just wanders about trying to make things better but never works out? Cool I guess.
      Now tbf there is a lot of good lore within Innistrad so let's not be dismissive of that but it was clearly designed on theme first not story. And the Theming of it was better than the overall story. And I can make this point for many sets and planes. Dominaria is probably the only plane that they truly created to be lore centric but all I can say is also Dominaria is were the most retcons and mistakes in the story happen. So shrugs. Hell even brothers war theme is just about artifacts and sure it has a very important story but the point of the set was to show off many cool artifacts. And if you think the brothers war didn't have contradictions then lol.
