Update: my son sent me an updated poll. It includes the YouTube channel name, and an additional 14k votes.

The worst part is I'm sure someone at Wizards is looking at this feedback, cross-checking the sales numbers, and comes away thinking that TMNT and Spiderman are bad franchises.

The reality is mentally I'm just now coming down off the Final Fantasy expansion. I will be looking forward to the Avatar expansion which releases... 3 months in the past? Oh.

They've simply got to slow down the number of releases.

The odd thing about this poll is that there is only 1 positive response. There's no "Really excited", it's just No and two that also mean No.

@nocturne @mike I wonder, was this poll really posted by Wizards? I didn't see a link to the original.

The answer options could be an effort to dulute the "no" percentages so that the "yes" looks bigger in comparison.

Wizards would never post a poll like this. Theirs would be "how excited for TMNT are you? Very! Extremely! OMG SO EXCITED!"

As I said in another reply, my son sent this to me from a YouTube channel that does videos about magic.

To me, kinda, reads as indifferent plus. So I see two positives, one negative, and one neutral.

My son sent the poll to me, he said it was from a YouTube channel that does videos about magic. He did not say what channel it was though.

Cross franchise sets are getting old really fast. I want an internally consistent lore, dammit.

Are you excited to see MTG run out of ideas and turn to the fortnite strategy of franchise collabs.

No

Fuck no

Please god no

Anything but that...

Avatar was pretty fun, i like the bending mechanics.

But spider man was horrible.

So, let's call it mixed.

Ah, yes, all the great characters such as

Michelangelo, Michelangelo, and Michelangelo.

Bought more Lorwyn to draft through those difficult times!

At this point you might as well just start doing stuff like faithfully reprinting the entire urza saga or something and going back to fewer releases
