I've done several play test focus groups and the creators who are working on these things are amazing people. They're doing an amazing job and don't deserve this. Hasbro is destroying more and more of the game I love. It's hard to feel bright about the future of magic, when Hasbo continues to sacrifice the longevity of the game for short term profits. At least designing cubes has given me some semblance of curating what I love about the game.
