Sorry for that godawful image. But it was easy to do on my phone, and i had some inspiration to post something.

While I agree with you in principle, in all fairness, that ship has sailed years ago.

If I could make it so Marjorie Taylor Greene Magic The Gathering never stepped outside Tolkien-esque fantasy, I would do it in a heartbeat; but they added tons of all manner of bizarre out-of-theme stuff over the years, so this addition doesn't sting much.

    I mean, some of that bizarre out-of-theme stuff weirdly works. And not everything needs to be tolkienesque. Innistrad, Ravnica, Ixalan, Kaladesh/Avishkar, Amonkhet, etc, all those themes can work together. And some other franchises fit that vibe, too, like Middle Earth, Avatar or even Warhammer 40k (surprisingly, idk how. Shouldn't work but somehow does IMHO), and I could see some others not yet scrammed into MTG that could work (Witcher?). Star Trek, Marvel, TMNT doesn't though. Maybe it's just because those are set in our real world (real places and names do something).
