The cards have been very flavorful and exciting. I'm curious how it'll be as a draft experience considering most Universes Beyond sets seem designed for Commander, so it'll be a bit of a change of pace. Although I know it's heresy, I am actually more excited for the Doctor Who set later this year since I'm weirdly obsessive about that franchise.
Magic-wise though I'm still really curious where things are going to go post-MOM, and this set has nothing to say on that.
Here's the issue I have with both the LOTR and Dr who sets, as well as the 40k set, which comes from my inexperience probably (only been playing about 4 years). Will these sets both just be legal forever minus a few cards they might ban? I feel like if wotc adds too much 3rd party IP it could dilute the lore/universe they've made, no?
Also, im very curious story wise where it goes after MOM. I want Ajani to pop off now that he's healed and get some more sweet lifegain cards printed (I started during the heliod/ajani meta on arena)
The set definitely seems designed so that the cards they think might be good can be reprinted without LotR skins later. Stern Scolding could have been called "Fool of a Took!" or something, but they didn't. I definitely imagine it gets a normal print someday.
