Well, I guess my primary hope for Odyssey is NO MORE STORYLINE DRIVING THE SETS. Seriously, this is driving me insane. I'm sick of seeing weak quotes from characters nobody cares about anymore, and I'm sick of every card revolving around the storyline.
The storyline should have been second to the game itself, like it was way back in the day. I'd like Odyssey and Magic en masse to stop having a focus on characters and plot points, and more focus on having diverse and interesting creatures and actual SPELLS. "Mercadia's Downfall" is not a spell. "Strafe" is not a spell. "No Rest For the Wicked" is not a spell. It's driving me nuts.
I do like the Invasion block immensely but this has got to stop. Let's try actually getting some of the fantasy back in the game and less storyline.
