Where Der Fark is Sowin!?

He went to join Garruk in the "we existed solely because every block needs some planeswalkers" corner.

*Flips a table* ... At least it can't get as bad as Mass Effect 3. Ha it isn't like Wizard to pull a indoctrination theory on us.... Right?... RIGHT?! :o

Eh. I'm not gonna blame Planeswalkers for killing Magic Storyline. It's been more of a progression from the desire to make absolutely every story element show up on cards. (If Kamigawa had been printed now, O-Kagachi would've been printed as Progenitus ) They seem to be willing to sacrifice story in favor of "Look! This character is cool! AND HE'S A CARD!"

It's not the Planeswalkers themselves, it's the changes that caused them to become the focus.

This whole set, almost this whole block has just been ruined for me.

I love the card game, but without solid story to back it up, we just get cards without any real context. The legendaries
Feel like some sort of inside joke, and frankly I miss the old three books per block.

I realize many of you haven't liked any of the stories recently, one book per block, and a pretty poorly written one at that.
Wizards or Hasbro or whoever seem to have stopped caring, and frankly this is insulting to the players who keep trying to care about
the setting and people and their struggle.

It doesn't cost an awful lot to write said books, and i'm even sure some more talented fans would be happy to write them for a discounted price just so they'd exist. Its not even that hard to think out the plot of each book either, and even easier to find 300 pages worth of material per set.

Innistrad could have taken three perspectives,
Liliana who arrives on the plane and begins her search.
Garruk who arrives, and wants to help the humans, but as the curse takes hold slowly becomes crazy.
Some native to the plain losing hope in the church, such as someone who comes in contact with people such as Thalia or Mikaeus. Or perhaps maybe a native of kessig who is seeing the increase in monsters firsthand and daily.

Darkascension would then continue the story of these people, with the possible subtraction of Garruk, and the addition of Sorin.
Liliana would continue her search, with the climax of the book being her confrontation with Thalia.
Sorin would arrive and focus less on Demon threat and the Helvault and more on destroying the Vampire houses.
The native of the plane would try to keep hope and keep fighting while many of his friends may die or join the darkness.

Avacyn restored is harder to comment on because we don't know all the story, but:
Liliana would pursue and ultimately kill Griselbrand while eluding the increasingly crazy Garruk,
Soring would confront Edgar Markov and the power of the vampire houses could either end, or declare allegiance to Sorin.
The native of the plain would then witness Avacyn's triumph, and see hope restored(Theres already enough planeswalkers so we don't need any spark igniting non sense.)
Also Garruk, should probably die...Cause we are getting like a ton of planeswalkers as well as an addition of tradgedy and tear shedding could add value to the story.

Please Wizards, we are about to return to Ravnica, whose original storyline and flavor was one of the greatest in Magic History, and almost every fan knows you'll give us about 8000 words to sum it up.

Please find it in your budget to print books again, and put them in the fat packs. If someone just wants pure packs(Essentially what a fat pack is now) then they would literally just buy packs of cards. Stories need to be told, otherwise people may just stop caring and the concept of legends(Creatures we CARE about) becomes redundant.
