I think the anti-UB contingent likes to stoke outrage whenever they believe a UB set is failing. They acted similarly vitriolic around SPM but were silent around Avatar.

And it’s understandable those formats would have more anti-UB players. They’re still not the majority of ALL Magic players.

The rabidly anti-UB crowd just assumes that they make up the majority of MTG players and shout down anyone who asks for evidence of that. Don’t fall into their trap.

Wonders of Life followed by the Toon Lagoon amphitheater.

Pixar Place isn’t so bad in my opinion because there’s no room for an attraction there. Just an awkward space after Toy Story Land opened.

REVIEW: Test Track 3.0 improves on its predecessor — but not by much - Theme Park Tribune, theme park news How does Test Track 3.0 live up to the ride's previous iterations? Find out in Theme Park Tribune's latest Disney World ride review....

Obviously it’s not because it just came out, but you’re going to dismiss any positive UB sales info anyway.

I’m accusing you and your fellow rabid UB haters of treating your own anecdotal evidence as better than sales figures from a publicly-traded company — which has said three UB sets are the top three best-selling MTG sets of all time.

02.03.2026 16:20 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

Funny how the prerelease turnouts for UB sets are always the lowest at stores frequented by MTG social media pundits and content creators who hate UB. I'm sure your anecdotal evidence is totally real and trustworthy and WOTC sales data is fake, makes sense.

The only people complaining at my prerelease were the judges, who were acting quite rude about UB in general. Actual players had a good time, all agreed the designs were miles better than Spider-Man.

I really wish the people who make Cedar Point and Kings Island shirts so great would work on Knott’s shirts. This park deserves better merch — and this was an issue before the merger.
