People need to direct their UB frustration to WotC and not their friends
Last night I had some friends over to play commander as we always do on Saturdays (Most Saturdays at least) and on my desk I had these piles for a deck I am working on.
​
I am building a Heroes deck, and yes, I bought a lot of the Marvel product line. I like Marvel. (This was an old pre-order, as im currently not buying from WotC because I'm frustrated with secret lairs)
​
Anyway, one of my good friends hates UB... He has been playing since the early 2000's and we have played together almost 15 years now. When he saw the deck I was working on he got pretty upset, despite me playing Final Fantasy and Avatar decks before... He is unreasonably upset with Marvel specifically and his attitude and off hand comments really soured the night.
​
He just could not have a good time playing, he focused for the better part of three hours complaining about UB and complaining about how I supported Marvel to much and I am why the game is being ruined. To be fair, I fully understand his frustrations... But come on.
​
I like MTG, and I like Marvel, for me this crossover is awesome and something I want to collect and be a part of. The game is changing and that brings a lot of frustration to many people, but remember, it's not your friends that are making the changes or even strangers who are taking part in the UB sets. So don't direct your frustrations at them, even if them supporting the UB sets is what drives WotC to make more of them... I still feel the frustration is better directed at WotC and not at people near you.

I wrote a metal song for my Atraxa deck.
[Verse 1]
Atraxa on the table, and they all start to sweat
Put some poison on your life, then multiply with no regret
Sol Ring in the opener, that’s the first bite
Arcane signet, Chromatic Lantern, the colors unite
It is as foretold in the rhystic study
smothering tithe makes the hands bloody
Venom builds and makes my sphere glisten
all your creatures caught in my ghostly prison
​
[Pre-Chorus]
An infectious Bite
A tainted strike
Are you having fun?
With Nowhere to run
​
[Chorus]
Atraxa, Praetor’s Voice
Die or Die there is no choice
Atraxa, Praetor’s Voice
Phyrexia rejoice
(rejoice, rejoice)
I don’t play fair
(rejoice, rejoice)
I spread toxic everywhere
​
[Verse 2]
Magistrate's Scepter shakes when I take extra turns
To decimate with infect is what Skithiryx yearns
Contagion Clasp, Contagion Engine, help secure the win
Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus, let the doubling begin
Every land drop taints with evolution sage
Even Teferi's protection won't save you from this plague
My propaganda holding you at bay is a fine gift
If it gets removed i'll just overload cyclonic rift
​
[Pre-Chorus ]
Drown in Ichor
Decree of Norn
I corrupted conscience
your commander's been mine since
​
[Chorus]
Atraxa, Praetor’s Voice
Die or Die there is no choice
Atraxa, Praetor’s Voice
Phyrexia rejoice
(rejoice, rejoice)
I don’t play fair
(rejoice, rejoice)
I spread toxic everywhere
​
[Bridge]
Classically cruel, I've crafted a contentious plan
The One Ring for the patience, then I thoughtseize your hand
Flux Channeler with swiftfoot boots will swarm
Mana drain your counter targeting my radstorm
Rebuff the wicked trying to take my roaming throne
Reject imperfection, now the poison has grown
An infectious inquiry, causes a phyresis outbreak
No reprieve is to be found when the game is at stake
​
[Chorus]
Atraxa, Praetor’s Voice
Die or Die there is no choice
Atraxa, Praetor’s Voice
Phyrexia rejoice
(rejoice, rejoice)
I don’t play fair(rejoice, rejoice)
I proliferate (proliferate)
proliferate (proliferate)
Proliferate your doom
​
[Outro]
Sol Ring, Signet, Lantern glow
Proliferate and steal the show
poison counter, venemous grin
Atraxa's toxic always wins
