    @rubythulhu @kajib it’s very hard to control your play group when that includes games at a store or CommandFest. A large part of magic being fun is playing against strangers.

    I think more people complain about UB than really cared deeply about the flavour of things, but UB is also tied to other trends in MtG that have been increasing, like the number of cards printed each year.

      Correct, because some of those players will not have the same opinions as you; hell, some of them may actually enjoy UB releases. They also can’t control you ([[mindslaver]] and similar cards notwithstanding 😉).

      We have public games, and we have private games with friend playgroups. It’s not a bad thing for public games to be more inclusive, especially in casual formats like commander.
