EDH certainly gets a lot of development time compared to what it was before This is definitely part of what I'm saying - they only have a finite amount of development and testing time, and more towards EDH means less for other formats and I don't think it's too much of a stretch to blame the poor reception of standard for a long time on this. it feels like a second-class citizen (and it is). But also the EDH-centric style has impacts on normal set design too. things like the absolute flood of board wipes and the massive number of legendary creatures are from printing to get cards into EDH, and I also feel like the power creep of standard is a result of trying to make things people will care about in larger formats (again, EDH) The other point I have is more of a personal thing and it's sort of hazy in my mind but I feel like MtG is becoming increasingly superhero-ified. I guess in some sense that started way back with planeswalkers (I like planeswalkers! they're a cool design space and fun to play with) but it's gotten more extreme in recent years and I just sorta don't like the vibe it gives off --- THIS IS WHAT I HATE A BOUT EVREY WEBSITE!!
