I don't think you realise the scope of what he's saying, Secret Lairs going forward will NOT have cross-over artwork for the digital portion what-so-ever unless it's stated, partial or full set release.

Maybe he is talking about this?

They will be releasing mechanically identical cards on digital for Universes Beyond sets that will not be available in Digital, so that formats remain in sync, the difference being in card creative treatment (names, art, flavor).

Exactly this.

This is a non-tempest in a poorly made non-teapot.

They have their own digital card game. Makes sense to me

They said this will be the standard going forward with all secret lairs, we're going to literally get none of them unless stated otherwise now.

we've literally only gotten LotR and baldurs gate then? it would be better for them to say less about the future. they have no credibility in what they say they will do. just stop talking about the future then. keep it limited to whats immediately infront of us.

we've got some of the anime art cards as well, though I think those were just artist crossovers. Honestly LoTR set is so weird because it's like they went the opposite way of securing the digital rights to keep selling but not the ability to keep selling the paper version.

It should also be mentioned that their's the other angle to view this whole thing from, digital magic is going to get more cards with new planeswalkers/characters from within the MTG Universe that'll never get printed to paper, their effective stating that the paper version is going to have LESS in-universe sets than digital, when people have been begging for more in-universe sets.

AFAIK, this is not about Secret Lairs, but about Universes Beyond sets. This year, we are getting three Universes Beyond Standard-legal sets, two of them will be available on Arena, the Marvel one will not be. They will release a set of mechanically identical cards for digital platforms, to keep formats in sync.

whether it comes to arena always had to do with whether it was a full set or not. they only made like 20 spongebob cards. its not a full set. average is 200-300?
spiderman has like 230+ cards.

Spongebob was a secret lair, he's literally just Joda.

This is absolute hogswallop! I might just be done with this game. first of all there is no balance to the game right now. Second, there is so much toxicity in the community. Finally, Wizards offer things they never intend to give you. You LIED Wizards of the Coast!

IMO, if you are playing MTG because of the Universes Beyond tie-ins, you are playing the wrong game. But they should do something about the current Standard, at least for best-of-one on Arena. We already have a format-specific ban, but it's not enough.
