I wonder when it's going to be based. There's tons of MtG lore out there.

Given that it's probably going to be based around the Planeswalkers, it's probably going to suck. Granted, all of MtG's in-universe stories are lousy.

Also lol @ Forbes:

Magic lore doesnt only have a vast quantity of stories, but quality, too. Check the New York Times bestseller list for May and youll find War of the Spark: Ravnica by Greg Weisman, a fantasy epic that tells the story behind Magic: The Gatherings recent card set.


Bestselling is no indication of quality and the list has been pretty hilariously manipulated in the past.

I love how fucking bonkers the mtg lore is. It is straight up silly nerd fantasy to the max.

Some of the older stuff was interesting, but they retconned most of that away when they introduced the shitty Nuwalkers.

Ice Age was probably the last point in the franchise when I gave a damn about the setting details. By the time of the Weatherlight storyline (that a lot of younger people loved), I'd mostly checked out. And the later Urza stuff actively annoyed me (then again, I always used to root for Mishra).

Id bet anything the show is gonna be some shallow plot about some kids in the real world using cards and meeting/interacting or maybe becoming established planeswalkers and will have almost nothing to do with existing lore

I mean, it could be, but it's animation and I think it's supposed to be more mature in nature and not made for kids.

I will say that Jeff Grubb's The Gathering Dark was a guilty pleasure.

That I'd probably enjoy more.

They could do a wonky premise like that and still have it themed for adults.

The Dark was my favorite set at the time in terms of flavor. It was kind of sad that most people never really got into it all that much.

My opinion of the book was... slightly less charitable. Mainly because it came out right in the middle of the original "revision" where they gutted the continuity. It was basically "Hey, remember the last six years worth of books and comics you bought? Like more than a dozen books and something like three dozen comics? About half of which was building up to a major new storyline? Yeah, none of that counts as canon anymore. And literally all of the major characters in those are now dead. Also, go fuck yourself.

And then most of what they replaced it with was kind of boring and vanilla and completely impossible to care about, so it kind of pushed me away from that side of the franchise. I basically haven't given a single shit about the metaplot of the setting for almost 20 years now.
