Magic: The Gathering‘s announcement of Standard legal crossover sets last Friday went down like a lead balloon with a portion of the game’s fanbase. These are dramatic changes: Wizards of the Coast is not only putting Universes Beyond tie-ins into every Magic format, it’s also creating more crossovers. The company plans to move to a half and half model where 50% of its sets follow its own original IP and 50% are collaborations with other franchises.
