@xgranade @mtg UB being hit or miss on if players care about the set sure makes it easy for deeply enfranchised players (me) to sit sets out completely.
@lovestha @mtg I mean, I'm also pretty deeply enfranchised, but I do really like some of the UB stuff. I'm not even a huge LoTR fan, but the vibe fit quite well and had some very fun mechanics. FIN bringing saga creatures is really neat, and fits the vibes pretty nicely (esp after NEO) by the same token.
@xgranade @mtg I find them hit or miss, if I don't know the source material I don't find the flavour engaging. If I do I tend to love them.
@lovestha @mtg Makes a lot of sense, yeah. I don't know 40k at all, so those decks were kind of meh for me. A friend of mine is obsessed with 40k, though, and they loved that UB.
@xgranade @mtg I've acquired a bunch of 40k cards, because teh are mechanically awesome in some of my decks. (Claire d'Loon loves squad)
But they are just a bunch of mechanics.
