For the record, there's no similar question about positive influence commentary about the set in the survey. This question is purely in here to try and place blame on content creators for how the set was received critically lmao this is insane.

i don't feel like magic set surveys usually have this question and i don't appreciate the implication that content creators, who do so so much for the game, are possibly to blame for a bad set's poor performance. 👎

"to what degree did negative influence commentary impact your perceptions of the spiderman set"

Do YOU live in the Pacific Northwest and love Magic and other TCGs?? Then you should be coming to @laughingdragonmtg.bsky.social's LDXP Tacoma Oct 31-Nov 2!!

I'm going to be there as a guest along with other talented creators and artists! If you can beat me in a game you get to punch my lights out!

Even if you didn't like this set (and many didn't!) PLEASE fill these surveys out genuinely with actual feedback. Flaming the set with all 0s on every metric is both unhelpful and hyperbolic.

French got nerfed this patch, so probably for the best so you have a better shot against the end-game bosses.

Every team lining up with insane offers to try and buy Cal Raleigh off the Mariners next year

I thought for sure after we barely squeaked past the Tigers that the Mariners would be getting spanked by the Jays but they seem more on fire than they've been all year these last two games

Unrelated I misread this as Rob Thomas being the next manager and was like "Oh I didn't know he liked baseball"

I'll tell you I used to go to games as a kid before the pitch and changeover clocks and WOW did those changes make the game substantially better.

By proximity I mostly meant bring around more people in my personal life that care about it, not necessarily proximity to the team itself. That said, it definitely helps a lot that the nearest MLB team is no longer a 3 hour drive away!

It's probably just proximity and recency bias but it feels like this year everyone I know (myself included) got into baseball.

My mom has started texting me about the Mariners games and I went to wake up @peachypopcos.bsky.social this morning and she was watching compilations on TikTok lmao.

You get some decent treasures and it’s the only way to get Zidane’s best weapon, but unless you really really want to fight the super boss of the game it’s capital O “Optional”

Is there a rules reason this couldn’t have Affinity for Creatures? Is it just to avoid putting Affinity on a card?

This was the bar we were in last night after the last run was scored, such insane energy.

Through the first 5 or so innings most people were half paying attention. By the end of the game the entire bar was silent at every pitch lmao.

One of the most insane games of baseball I’ve ever gotten to watch. A nail-biter through to the end.

1000% respect and love to the Detroit Tigers for putting up a hell of a game.
