This is only a personal viewpoint, but Universes Beyond hasn't bothered me too much because the flavor dissonance that other IPs bring to Magic IP feels vastly outmatched by the flavor hilarity that Magic IP gets to inflict on other IPs.

Some time ago, I came up with a method of measuring the "openness" of a card in Limited, which can summarize up to describing a particular format.
One of the more interesting things I found was how relatively "on-rails" Bloomburrow was, with its 10 typal archetypes. You can...

Magic was super hyped for a while to make the Planeswalker symbol artworks and I loved seeing them adapted to each plane. From @rpancoast.bsky.social to @chasestone.bsky.social to @adampaquette.bsky.social and @tituslunter.bsky.social. They made for stellar computer backgrounds to hype a set.

The Hades franchise has been everything I could’ve wished for since 2020.
I always wanted to thank Supergiant Games with a fanart, but I was always short on… time?
Maybe now, time won’t be such a troublesome thing for me anymore.
Death to Chronos!

It's October which means it's time for #MTGMoxtober! I'll be posting my original designs as a thread here, so block it if not interested or you're a WotC employee.
As an additional restriction, all these designs will reference existing MTG characters, to try and fix what OM1 wasn't able to achieve.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
