It’s chaos vault, no? Gonna drop with like 1 hour notice or something

Bryan @bryanwendland.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, but the better question is “any gamecocks still?”

Bryan @bryanwendland.bsky.social · 2d

Maybe Hasbro will read this report and tell WotC to stop printing UB into constructed formats and just make it a collector-only product… since the CBBs are the only thing selling… after their price was nearly cut in half cuz no one was buying them.

@mtggoldfish.com #MTGFishMail. Hasbro’s Q3 earnings call is this week, any predictions for whether Spider-Man will be mentioned and if so, what context? Based on TCG Player, I’m guessing Chris Cocks will mention it has having strong sales. seller.tcgplayer.com/blog/top-sel...

They need a guarantee that they’d make more money if they switched back to print to demand

Bryan @bryanwendland.bsky.social · 2d

Just more proof that “players” are not the ones buying this set

Bryan @bryanwendland.bsky.social · 3d

Was always the art for me but the more I’ve dug into the lore the more it’s started to matter more to me as well

Unlike UB (now anyway) you don’t have to play modern if you don’t want to

Bryan @bryanwendland.bsky.social · 4d

There are rumors that it’s going to either be (as a standard/limited set) slightly smaller or slightly larger (by a few cards) than Spiderman and that’s extremely discouraging. Also the “turtle in every pack” is sketching me out cuz how many different versions of each Ninja Turtle can they do?

it wasn't the impossible to keep up with release schedule

it wasn't pivoting the set from being made for edh to being made for standard

it wasn't making a set too small for limited to be any good

it wasn't having such little faith in the product that we didn't do PT:Spider-Man

it was me, Nile!

Ever just... kinda... ever so slightly... feel like people around you might be... possibly... being set up as scapegoats?

Maaaaaan I wished yall could’ve done an extended episode and played all the decks. Dipping my toes in the Pauper waters and deciding which deck to buy. Your game with Elves has me leaning that way but those affinity decks seem really strong, too!

Which is why everyone should take MaRo’s insistence that the numbers say the majority of players like UB with a grain of salt.

Bryan @bryanwendland.bsky.social · 4d

They want MaRo to be able to say “our numbers tell us the majority of players like UB” with a straight face

Bryan @bryanwendland.bsky.social · 4d

Just looking to give MaRo his next excuse to gaslight players about UB

Bryan @bryanwendland.bsky.social · 4d

@mtggoldfish.com y’all see this question on Wizards’ Spiderman Survey? Think this is gonna be MaRo’s next excuse to gaslight players about UB?

2

Bryan @bryanwendland.bsky.social · 4d

Since I couldn’t fill out the survey:

I only played Spiderman once. At a dead empty prerelease because I go to every prerelease. I played omenpaths because it was stupid easy to farm gems and the art was more my style. You’re pumping out too many sets and not enough of them are in universe.

Bryan @bryanwendland.bsky.social · 4d

They only want to hear “I’m an enfranchised (or returning) player and I loved, played, and bought Spiderman a lot!”

1

Bryan @bryanwendland.bsky.social · 4d

This is just how MaRo gets to say “enfranchised and returning players are the ones who mostly bought and played this set and they told us they loved it!”

Bryan @bryanwendland.bsky.social · 4d

Yall really closed the survey after two hours? Lmfao

Got to cheer for Bruce checking into the game as a Nugget again and life just feels right

Bryan @bryanwendland.bsky.social · 5d

Saw this pretty sweet mono blue tempo/terror deck on MTG Goldfish and man it’s been fun to play on the ladder. That and Golgari self mill are my new favs.

Gruul Delirium is still my go to tho.
