Since getting back into the game, I've been catching up on a lot of the discourse going on within MTG. I have to admit I'm... conflicted on Universes Beyond.
I fully understand why they're a turn off for a lot of older players, and they were for me as well initially. But I suppose I've become more positive on them because I've seen in real time how they get outsiders in, and I value that highly as someone who's desperate to get his friends to try the game lol. Seeing a close friend get in through the Avatar set really softened me to the concept.
I suppose my "nuanced" position is they should just space them out more. I think the move to have a year be mostly UB's was quite ridiculous, not to mention have them all be standard legal. Also obviously they should avoid the more unfitting properties but I've noticed everyone has a different threshold for that so easier said than done.
