The Shallow Nostalgia of Modern Horizons 3

Modern Horizons 3 has come all the way over its namesake and arrived! Jam packed with cards designed to get you buying new cards!
MH3 brings us a smorgasbord of the multiverse, with tasty samplings of its many planes. Lore from far and wide and long ago, barely dampened by the dull sadness that undercuts it.
With the help of an outside editor for the first time, I'm going to ramble off some unscripted opinions, grumble briefly about the state of the game and point at the lore on display and say: "I recognise that".
Join me for a deep into a shallow set.

    What's the most exciting thing about MH3? Or the most annoying?

    Galvanic Discharge isn’t actually referring to Thunder Junction; the Great Desert is a part of Terisare on Dominaria, where the Brother’s War was fought. The stone being crushed is probably a Powerstone, making the flavor text tie together much better

    Saying everyone hates thunder junction is mad confirmation bias. It's been one of the most popular releases in years.

    I disagree on the medallions, I kinda like how they really beat in that they're the essence of their color given gem form.

    Have self referential magic cards actually gotten cringier or am i the problem? Has this company's skydiving public image made it feel like when a person you don't like references your favorite movie? Or is it more that the power creep is now so strong that it feels more like planned obsolescence, characterized no more strongly than "This card references that time tarmogoyf was 30 dollars by being a better version of tarmogoyf"? Maybe it was just a double whammy with thunder junction, and I couldn't humor two sets of "man isn't this game fun, look at all the fun we've had" in a row. Is it that the first modern horizons was a space for designers to go crazy and they came up with some genuinely cool and fun game pieces and that doesn't seem to be the focus anymore? Alara is how i was introduced to magic story, Ajani is my first favorite planeswalker, and I look at his sparker representing the story where I fell in love with him and I... cringe???

    I'm not convinced you like Magic: the Gathering

    I ended up quitting magic a year ago but I still watch videos from magic creators both because a lot of them are good, and I wanna stay caught up with the game. Its funny though, watching anything new relating to the game. It feels like I left a house when I saw a small fire to only turn around to see the house burning to the ground. Magic is too big to die in a couple years, but honestly if nothing does change I feel like the game will have no dedicated players to the game in the next 5 years.

    Thunder Junction could've been good if the worldbuilding focused on why separate groups from across the planes were drawn to the idea of frontier life instead of just being an excuse to put cowboy hats on all the characters.

    Very true, the flavor of the set is like a tablecloth. Only intended as an accessory for consumption, not to be scrutinized or appreciated

    I think that's Emrakul prior to going into the moon. The world anew part refers to her role as reseeding a world with life once it's been cleansed by ulamog and and kozilek

    I’m sad that there’s not any more worlds that I will miss. Like, I miss Mirrodin, and I miss Alara. But there’s just not a future where I miss planes like thunder junction or Capena. I hope they don’t mess up as bad when we get to Duskmorn. I’ve been really looking forward to that set
