clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 30/09/2026They for sure picked good cards and very good art. Just not what I was hoping for. 020
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 30/09/2026That's the Kpop demon hunters drop? Super underwhelming. Underworld breech is nice, and the art is good, but I was expecting legends for the characters. 210
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026And this is really important. For effective boycotts timing is important. If you boycott prematurely it won't have the desired effect. It needs to be 100% unequivically because of HP that the sales drop. 1251
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Hard agree. I enjoy the Roy and Keelie story, but it feels a bit unnecessary. Also no clue what's up with the Ted's Dating plot thread. Seems very thrown in. 000
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I am so sad it is this set getting shafted by product issues. I had an amaaaazing time at my pre release, and my LGS broke it's record for pre release attendance. But they are completely out now, and probably won't be able to draft it for a few weeks. I get that it's world events but still sucks. 010
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I'm sure they weren't cheap but I doubt it was a surprise. They probably paid up front. I think they just recognized people like em and want to do what people like. 010

clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I think the size of the set was not ideal, but it felt like a much smaller issue to the product imo. Not a non issue, but not the reason the product went the same way it did. That feels squarely how much they wanted per pack. 000
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I stand by aftermath. Really my only major problem was price point. Once stores started dropping prices and I could get a box for 40-50 bucks, it was a great buy. That really was the only major sin (that said, if they had to charge that much for a box, I doubt they would have bothered making it) 110
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Even if you take all the heinous parallels out of this, it's just a crappy ad. It's so dark and dreary who would want this. No way this went through actual market research or testing for efficacy. Which means the parallels probably were the point. 010
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 19/09/202619 minutes seems really fast for that answer, but I trust their math more than my vibes. 110
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I love Kellan. Very big fan. I think his arch was fairly good (could have def been improved with a bit more focus in the story for MKM, but live and learn). I especially liked his conclusion in OTJ though. 010
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 17/09/2026People will care about Tam even if they HAAAAAATE this card. If they find it miserable to play against, good. That makes her memorable. The hard part about getting magic players to love characters is not giving them good lore, or clever designs. It's giving them cards most players remember. 000
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 16/09/2026The legends of article implies it's just a totally different dinosaur the sun empire gave the same name. Not even remotely related. Just means strong. 150
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Okay, I get why people are complaining about not wubrg wubrg commanders, but this card is siiiick. I love the idea of cramming as many planeswalker types as possible in a deck. 010
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 16/09/2026It's very possible without Bolas or the Phyrexians, the mending didn't happen. Would explain why a lot of our multiverse walkers aren't walkers. But Avishkar's aether boom was caused directly by the mending making Aether more accessible and leading to a very different version of the plane. 000
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Okay but dimir echoverse huatli wouldn't XD 120
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 16/09/2026So the version of Jace that came after had to come up with compromises. He had to accept he couldn't control every aspect of the multiverse. And every time he made more compromises, more parts of him revolted. 140
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 16/09/2026The original version he sees in the Tarkir story is specifically of Vraska happy and having never been completed. But attempting to create that version literally destroyed him. Actually forging a multiverse where that was the case was simply too big of a task. 140
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 16/09/2026The echoverse is barely designed at all though. His plan was "make multiverse without bolas, Phyrexia, and Eldrazi and see what happens." Everything afterwards was the Theorist trying to keep the paradoxes stable and carving himself apart every time part of him tried to undo it. 160
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I genuinely hope so badly we get a double phoenix deck out of this. Rakdos phoenix sounds awesome. 010
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I'm not gonna lie, this feels like one of the more tame color shifts this set. Strong but not a huge jump. 110

clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Huh, well I stand corrected. No clue why it works that way, but I'm not going to complain. 100
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 11/09/2026That said, I think they were deliberate in not actually calling it that in the story, and echoverse Chandra never says the name of the plane. I think they want to avoid confusing people on the name. People are already bad enough at changing names, if you give them a reason not to you're toast. 110
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Chandra from our multiverse calls it that. In the echoverse the indigo revolution never happens. (I have to assume going forward post reality fracture they are keeping Avishkar. But in the echoverse, I wouldn't be shocked if it never changed. 130
Reposted by @clarknes.bsky.socialThe Vorthos Cast @thevorthoscast.bsky.social · 11/09/2026The success of the Reality Fracture story rests in part on the work of many, many talented authors who have touched the story of Jace and Vraska and those who loved them over the last nearly 15 years, and Kelly was one of those authors! Read his excellent thread! 06814
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 11/09/2026But for however long it is, it will be because of this arch here that I'm part of it. So thank you, and Alyson, and everybody else involved. 000
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 11/09/2026At the end of it all. I'm finally out of the whole I've been in for a while, and this arch conclusion really has given me a renewed sense of excitement for my favorite game right when I think I needed it most. I don't know how long I'll be here this time (a lot more great life changes on the way), 101
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Been the natural thing to drop. But I still kept up with it here or there for the story. I've been iffy on this arch for a while. As a long time Jace fan, I was nervous about him becoming the villian. I was nervous this was just going to be the arch that proved the Jace haters right. But here we are 100
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I cannot stress enough how much this specific magic story means to me. I really have been falling off of the game hard. I've moved away from my friends who I played with for years (we still jam some spelltable from time to time). I also lost my job, and incurred quite a bit of debt. So magic has 110
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I love that every time we get new Jace stories, this fun fact moves higher up on the magic lore iceberg. At this point it feels decently common knowledge. 010
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 09/09/2026It's also possible the act of two planes merging created a space and shunted both the ships and Eldrazi into that space, and they just continued fighting while at it. Would make sense the Fomori would make a device that can go where Eldrazi are if they wanted to wage war against them. 140
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 09/09/2026At the risk of you exploding, I think Jace might be in these two. 010

clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Eh, that's a bit unclear. As far as we know, Phyrexia has been slowly corrupting him since he was a slave to the Falaji and found the first dragon engine. 010
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Like, he is for sure dying for this, and despite being a huge Jace fan, I am so here for it. It's tragic, but I don't think there is coming back from this. 010
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 04/09/2026This is the craziest take imaginable to me. I am a hardcore Jace fan and this has me thriving. This is exactly where Jace as a villain needed to go. 110
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 04/09/2026AND THEN after all that. After spending his whole life fighting every second not to be that, Phyrexia turned him into that anyway against his will. No wonder it broke him. 2132

clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 02/09/2026On top of all that, online discourse does select for the few players that do want it. The ones you'll see online talking about a game, are the ones most with it. They are also the ones most likely to want to feel recognized and rewarded for playing the game. 000
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Oh some for sure do, I just think it's a fairly small minority. I also think it's a bit of, players like a very specific version of it a lot (like in Fantasy RPGs for example) and thus ask for it. But they don't realize or don't intend for that ask to be applied to other types of games. 000
clarknes.bsky.social @clarknes.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I don't think (most) people enjoy it so much as they enjoy the effects of it, and game developers have learned it is a good way to get the metrics they like. Also the obsession with time to beat by gamers as a quality to measure the dollar value proposition of games is a blight on the industry. 110
