    We still don’t know what the UB sets will be, so my excitement is tempered

      Took me a second to realize you were taking about Universes Beyond and not an entire set of only blUe Black.

      I’m more worried about the “how many” than the “what”. I don’t care to see UB spoilers because I want magic lore. On the occasion that I find UB cards I like, I proxy them as in universe things with the little sub name box.

        Yeah, fu*k the Dimir!

        I’ve heard there’ll be three UW and three UB, which is definitely an improvement over the four of this year!

          I’ll take it. Recently I learned that the UB for spiderman and the stranger things stuff got different names, wording, and art for Arena due to copyright laws and they’re in universe formatted.

          I would totally wake up that old lorehound in me and cobble together an in-universe version of each UB set and release them as bootlegs to the public with instructions on where/how to proxy. Stick it to Hasbro by getting my cardboard somewhere else and still enjoying the game.

            I’ve seen lots of people proxying the Arena versions for their decks, so the sentiment is definitely common enough
