Magic in the early 2000s had such a style to each and every set that just gets drowned out by the IP shit they are chasing

For a few years starting in 2005 we had banger after banger. Original Ravnica, Shadowmoor, Time Spiral block, Lorwyn...

Ravnica was fucking magical, no pun intended. My GOAT block was Tarkir.

The fucked up thing is that they've continued to make good and interesting sets in interesting and varied setting until now (and seemingly will continue to do so, I'd love to see the space opera set that's releasing between final fantasy and Spiderman), even if some sets obviously are more successful than others.

There are so many creative and talented people working at that company, but no amount of money they make the investors can ever be enough.

Yeah, I really enjoyed Bloomburrow, but I can't afford keep up with all this shit.
