Guess they need a little breather from super high budget movies. They directed Community before they went to the MCU which was a show I really loved.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6

Only the recent expansion (War of the Spark) has alternative anime art for the planeswalker cards. There's a 50% chance to get the anime art.
The first card art I posted here is by the famous Final Fantasy artist Yoshitaka Amano who does cover art for many of the games.

Awesome!

The paintball episodes were what got Marvel interested in them as directors for their movies! Community is such a fantastic show

So are they going to use the books, or is this going to be another one of those adaptations who decide to not use the source material because of copyright?



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Says in the OP.
"oversee the creation of an all new storyline and expand on the stories of the Planeswalkers"

Aaaah, I missed it. My bad.

Also, how come noone actually follows the source material anymore? If you make an adaptation of something, wouldn't be wise to actually use the stuff that's already written and proven to work?

Spoiler!
I'm still mad Disney declared decades of SW's expanded universe as non-canon...

It would depend on if they are covering events that have already happen or creating new events within the universe.  For something like MTG, they can create new adventures and add whatever character they want.  They can also source different planes and events depending how how epic they want to make the series.  Personally I am very interested to see what they do as there is definitely a huge base of material for them to work with.
