The Gathering’s Spongebob Secret Lair Is Just Harmless Fun

Magic: I have changed a lot of gathering since childhood. I remember getting one or two decks on my tenth birthday because my parents thought that this was the same thing as UG Oh. For A+ effort, but I was definitely very young to find the rules and spent most of my time playing the PC game that came with it. For almost two decades fast forward, and I have never returned to TCG.

But thanks to my colleague Joe Parlok, I have been slowly absorbing the knowledge of MTG through Osmosis for the past few years when I have been learning about the streets of New Capina, Instrade, and Kamigawa: the New Family. How are they looking for new characters and rhetoric thanks to the sets that have been loved and criticized by fans, while what it means to be related to this vast universe. I am still learning ropes, but it seems that the coastal Wizards are desperate to push MTG into new and unexpected places, even if they are in despair.

MTG’s cross -over sets are a blessing and curse

I understand the concern. In the crossover, and slowly there is a serious amount, but of course we have seen MTG adding great features like Lord of the Colors, Doctors, or final imagination, instead of focusing on increasing the Canon Universe.

These are not just a secret region of individual booster packs or limited editions – though they are there – but the complete set that replaces traditional ideas that we may have seen a few years ago. These are still there, but if you have been following MTG for decades and now you are stuck with IP -infected decks, you are practically no interest, it cannot make the stomach easy.

However, on the Philip Side, it has done an incredible task to bring newcomers into a fold. I feel confident that the MTG is much larger than ever, and if I did not come to me as a part of my job and the existence of a crossover, I would not write the piece that presented the service of the fans that I need to stand and take notice. Yes, I am a simple creature, but if it is a stimulus, I need to care about anything ahead of the pleasant final fantasy card, then.

But Sponge Bob Secretariat is an exception

This makes me brought to the Sponge Bob Secret, which revealed his cards earlier this week at a mixed reception. There will be a total of three drops to reach as part of the crossover, and some will present the original art of characters like Spongeboob, Patrick, Squadward, Mr Curbs, or Sandy. While other yellow character viral internet is playing with healthy diet of memes around. They are also not having too much concepts of memes, but they are exemplified by MTG’s regular artist Tyler Walpol.

At first glance, I thought they were fake or ridiculous who were developed by some sarcastic fan who would want to sting to add IP to market MTG’s current obsession. But no, it’s legitimate, and you know what? I’m fine with it. Magic: The gathering has been pushing things permanently in recent years, which proves comfortable and hard fans equally that its interests are both in its own universe and offers cross -over, which quickly appeals to the mainstream audience.

I would not be surprised if it was sold very fast due to the limited nature of the secret lost card, and the debate around it has once again brought the game to the degree that I felt quite compelled to write about it. I am sitting and taking notice, and the coastal wizards wanted it. It is making money, increasing its audience, as it encourages a debate between a community that is incredibly investing in its next move.

In addition, Sponge Bob Secretariat is a love letter to the characters with which many players grow up, while simultaneously benefit a aspect of Internet culture that is still intact. I understand the desire to be valuable and protective from the universe like MTG, but when it comes to an opportunity, why not a little loose?
