Message: [QUOTE="medisinn, post: 71850, member: 157567"] I have played MTG since 2007ish. Over time I still enjoy playing with my friends and brewing decks, but enjoy the game less and less. It's one of Hasbro's only profitable IPs, so they are putting out WAY too much low-effort product and the game is getting worse. I'm not huge on the lore, it's just clear they aren't trying anymore and it's frustrating. Several of the past few sets have been "hat sets": there was one where everyone was suddenly a detective, one where they were suddenly outlaws and cowboys, one that was nothing but 80s horror references, and now there's one that is filled with racing puns and references. Which I guess would be fine, if it wasn't coming out of nowhere in a game that's almost always been about fantasy. I think even that would be fine too, but the card quality keeps getting worse, they charge more and more money for packs, and now there are less packs in a box. And there's about twice as many sets a year as there used to be, so for the people trying to collect cards that hold value(not me), most things are almost worthless except for the really busted cards and rare variants of cards that are only found in 30 dollar booster packs. Oddly enough, they put far more effort into sets utilizing other IPs. Fallout, Lord of the Rings, Doctor Who and Warhammer all seem to be pretty good, and there's a Final Fantasy set coming out soon, so that could be neat. I hope they are pulling in new players, and that people enjoy it, I just can't find myself caring beyond hoovering up really cheap reprints of cards and the occasional Commander deck. [/QUOTE]
