Not a chance, they are pulling mystery box shit with what Jace and Vraska are doing with Loot because they are such shitty writers they have to try to make everyone go "OOOOOOOOOOOH MY GOD WHAT DOES JACE WANT?"

They have learned exactly zero from the Bullshit with Emrakul during Shadows over Innistrad.

They already hinted at what he wants in Thunder Junction, they want to reset the multiverse.
They stand at the edge of the uncanny, a broad bluish triangle that looks and feels and smells so familiar, their hearts beat to the same rhythm as its pulse. It is new and familiar at once, and the strangeness of seeing a physical manifestation of what was once private and individual feels decadent, perverse. Jace feels Vraska grow stiff and uncomfortable the closer they get. They heard about the portal through Ranna, who came home excitedly to talk about the very nice kor she met at the hospital, and now they stand before it, an Omenpath. Jace has illusioned them a different face to avoid suspicion (and his warrant).

Vraska looks at the Omenpath with disdain as she inspects the edges. "They aren't supposed to exist."

Jace had half expected to find optimism in the portal, a way to connect the Multiverse further, but now, standing in front of it, all he can see is consequence. "Everything we did as the Gatewatch we could only manage because the threats were contained. Look at what Bolas and Tezzeret did with just one portal. Now this …?"

"On this scale there'll be conquerors collecting planes, cretins smearing violence across the Multiverse, and no way to stop them. No way to corral and curb. No way to punish." Vraska looks at him. "Jace. We have to do something."

Jace understands, but his exhaustion weighs too heavily. The wounds too fresh. "Why us?"

She looks exasperated, but all Jace can do is take her hand, squeeze it to remind her what is real, here, now.

"We got out with our lives, Vraska. That's enough for me. I want to think about what's next for us."

They meet eyes.

What is next? Jace remembers his mother's question, is that your wife? The vision he holds of her in Vrynian formals, his family's blues and patterns complementing the green of her skin. He imagines a child of their own. The look in her eyes says that she imagines a similar future.

"You'd make a phenomenal parent." She says.

"So would you."

"We'd need to …"

"Adopt," Jace says quickly. Then smiles with a blush. "I don't think it would work."

"Adopt," Vraska nods quickly, wincing an acknowledgment, "I think we'd know by now if it did."

She snorts a laugh. Jace can't help but smile in turn. It feels good to see her laugh again, especially good to see her laugh at the impossibility of their coupling. The Multiverse is miserable entropy, but there is meaning in the clasp of their hands.

As if reading his mind, Vraska's lips purse. "Does it make sense to raise a child in this Multiverse?" She says, worried. "Is repair even possible?"

"I'm sick of repair," Jace sighs. "What is the point of repair when everything will fall apart anyways?"

His beloved, the woman who would be his wife, looks to the Omenpath with a haunted expression. "The Multiverse is too broken to fix."

Jace thinks of fire. The phoenix feather that brought Vraska back to him. "So, what if we do something other than fix it."
 
I'm getting a much broader feeling of people getting burned out of these fucking shit set themes, particularly after Foundations (and to some extent Inn remastered). I've heard of way more people than normal just totally checking out of getting anything from this set, and I'm really only looking at grabbing a few uncommons eventually.

I sure as shit don't have any interest in drafting it.
 
It wasn't even funny when South Park did a parody of wacky racers. Don't know why wizards tried when not even a single character existing in the IP is even likeable.
 
Does it really matter what the set looks like as long as it has cards needed for standard or commander? You could probably make a care bear set the #1 seller if you introduced cards as strong as the ones in MH3 or the one ring.
Most magic players just want to win and despite crying about it will still buy whatever to win.
I just play commander casually now so I can avoid playing the shit I don't want but others have no choice and no I'm not defending the bad sets either.

Hashaton makes people forget about racing, honestly I don't blame them because Hashaton is a act of Evil that WOTC released upon CEDH,

Yea that's the only chase card in Aetherdrift with the Lotus being noteworthy.

I can only assume you missed all the cards that said affinity, and all the cards that slot into existing modern/older decks like robot death's shadow, hangerback walker that draws cards, and Ketramose. And the pretty exciting cards that might open new decks like artifact birthing pod and Undead Cat Chariot (although that's an uncommon so not quite chase even if it plays well). I'm not sure what's going to stick but it looks like it's going to have a well above average effect on Modern/Eternal/EDH

Honestly Hashaton made me forget about the others.
