its all over the place, but who says they have to adapt modern mtg story lines?

  • the weatherlight saga would make for a dope tv series or a couple of movies.

  • the gatewatch stuff up to war of the spark is mtgs avengers

  • the whole yawgmoth/phyrexia/fall of mirrodin stuff spans aeons and touches on multiple arcs in the lore

  • some planes like eldrain (sinister fairy tails) or the newer kamigawa (cgberpunk) would be a great backdrop for one off movies.

I mean more in a sense that technically the reason for such a show and movies would be to get people into the game right? But when they get to the game they're going to just see negan going up against rainbow dash or some shit and they're just going to bounce right off.

a new player would probably buy current standard cards, which afaik has none of the cross over stuff, and not wotcs strange secret lair cards or the "universes beyond" sets.

i am not a fan of those either.
