I agree. I wish the UB sets would end. LoTR made sense. Even 40k had an mtg feel and it brought two great groups together. But, and I say this as someone who has been watching Doctor Who since Tom Baker, they have gone too far.

As great of a set as Bloomburrow is, Duskmourn was that bad. It is selling like shit. They should have dropped DSK instead of making it earlier.

Yea I agree w/ all that. I was actually very excited and bought into LTR but these future UB sets are just not close enough to the in-game lore imo.

DSK seems like it has some fervent draft fans but I also think it's not a very interesting or fun set. The set's setting and lore also seem at odds with Magic historically.

They tried the horror thing with Midnight Hunt/Crimson Vow, and it failed. So they tried it with Markov Manor, and it failed. So they tried it with Duskmourn and it failed.

Each set has had some good cards, but as a whole the sets suck. Both full cards lists and story.
