IIRC final fantasy set is coming out AFTER this, the earlier previews were the little teaser they give investors FWIW

Still agree, but some saving grace there
Ah, okay. That's fair. Feels so strange to have this much to keep track of, haha. But that's a totallt fair point. People are super excited for the FF set so it makes sense.
 
I don’t know how much of a metric this is but “Final Fantasy mtg cards” came up as a trending Google search on my work computer today (where I am not in the habit of lurking on cube forums).

Lord of the Rings was reportedly the most popular set ever, and I don’t remember seeing anything like this.
 
FF is an IP with (likely) huge overlap with the MTG community, similar to LOTR. This set also attracts the dozens of worldwide Standard players, so it sells more.

I suspect Spiderman is a far less popular IP. I also suspect that Standard looks like a joke to outsiders two years from now and Modern not long after that. You can't mash half a dozen different IPs together and expect to have a game that looks serious.

{R}{R}{R} THAT SHORT TERM PROFIT THO BABY {R}{R}{R} (there's no fire emoji)

The Marvel sets being legal in Standard is a bit suspect to me. I feel like they would be better served with Commander decks or something along those lines.
 
Okay, hot on the heels of my "too much too fast comment" we are also getting teasers for the Edge of the Universe set coming out at some point. Like no, stop.
