Not to turn this into a conversation about whether UB is good or not....let's assume we're all ok with EDH-legal UB cards like LOTR, 40k etc. because we have no choice anyway:
Seeing these LOTR spoilers, I see cards that are pretty good and think "that totally would fit in with my < deck x > deck" - but then always catch myself for thinking how odd it would be to immediately pull out Frodo or Gandalf or one of the other main LOTR characters in a deck that is otherwise 100% MTG IP. It's somewhat immersion-breaking, which I know is strange for a catch-all format like EDH.
I have no problem with the set overall though, and might want to even build a LOTR commander...in which case I'd try to use 100% in-set cards. But don't want to mix any of it with regular MTG IP cards.
Does anyone else feel this way?
Anyway - just saw there was EDH on lemmy, and thought I'd get the conversation started with what was on the top of my head!
