When I was first conceptualizing this project, I knew a few
things about how some of the reviews would turn out. There would be a spirited defense of Kamigawa, loving praise of Lorwyn, and the whole thing would center
around the Time Spiral installment. I also knew that, while people would agree
or disagree with different ideas, my attacks on Zendikar and Worldwake would
have me most fiercely battling against popular opinion.
There’s no way around it: I think these sets are bad. Not
that there were a few things that, in retrospect, could have been improved in
some ways… they are outright bad Magic
sets, and somehow, they’ve retained support from wide swaths of Magic
players.
