This article sums up my feelings precisely. I want to go back to when Magic was Magic and not a hundred other things with no depth. I'm fine with planes like Eldraine where it's "Magic's take on fairy tales", since there was some creativity and depth there, but New Capenna, Karlov Manor, and Thunder Junction all feel really cheap.

@rigatti @MysticKetchup I agree with the article, except for the start point. I think the first sign of that big change was when they got rid of the block structure. I think there are a lot of problems with that structure being rigidly enforced, but I don't think that 4+ new planes a year is correct. It really does feel like they're frantically hopping from one place to the next in the hopes that "ooh shiney" will keep people invested
