The topic of UB is continuing to create controversy as the number of non-Magic IP products explodes. The Professor put out a recent video on the topic predicting a future Universes Within product to make up for all the unique UB cards being added to the mix, but looks like MaRo has quickly shut that idea down.
What are players who don’t like UB supposed to do when there are no Magic versions of those cards? This is now just reality.

Maro is also taking into account draft chaff and random Commander filler, I imagine most of the actually popular UB cards will get reprints eventually. I’d expect it in a regular reprint set since I can’t imagine there’s that much demand for a solely UW set since a lot of the draw of these cards comes from the flavor of the original IP

Just ignore them. They already release too many cards each year anyways, so it’s not hard to skip them. Or play other games. Magic isn’t worth your time or money if you’re not enjoying it
It’s a shame, mtg has good mechanics and lore and WOTC has been shitting all over it for years now.
Hey I haven’t played this game since Innistrad but I still have a Liliana of the Veil. Did I permanently miss my chance to get the good standard OP card money? Will they ever stop reprinting it?
The best time to sell a LotV would’ve been sometime around 2016 when Jund was the king of Modern and it was worth ~$100. Now the card only retails for ~$18
But will it eventually be worth $6, or $30?
It always depends on demand. If some new deck out there gets super popular and needs a playset then the price will go up.
For now it sees basically no play outside of commander, but is fairly popular there so the price is unlikely to change.
Interesting makes sense commander is actually keeping the price up. I also had a scavenging ooze at the time it spiked but failed to sell because I was too lazy to figure out online shipping and didn’t like game stores, since I just played kitchen table commander etc from the start.
Yes

If you’re just playing with your friends you can just decide to not use them or make custom proxy versions for the cards you really want to play with. Or you can just play limited, either with a set that doesn’t have any UB cards or with your own cube.
Otherwise I guess you can either learn to live with them or just stop playing. For me it’s mostly the latter. Universes Beyond, along with absolutely insane power creep especially in Modern and an overwhelming flood of increasingly expensive products have really taken the fun out of the game for me.
