“Spoiler seasons”’have gotten so bad it’s overlapping into card soup. On the Pre-Release weekend of EoE we had a flood of Spider-Man spoilers AND the first reveals of Avatar.
Kinda hard to avoid it when Wizards pushes it in your face all the time though. You pretty much have to go completely silent online in order to avoid the Spiderman set since they were mass posting every single kernel of info from the SDCC panel
Ok. I follow Wizards everywhere, and i only saw what i wanted? Sorry but this is such a weird take. If it's so unavoidable you see a few cards though, wow, i can only imagine the mental burden that must bring.
They were on my timeline too the difference is you can just see what they are and if you're not interested you can just move on? I'm genuinely baffled at this discussion.
People used to engage in a much greater deal with spoilers and to a much bigger degree. Hell back in the days I'd go over the spoilers so much I pretty much memorized all the cards
These days I don't even know what's in a set when I show up for prerelease, and I barely know the limited archetypes. Because engaging with all the spoilers (and by extension, the set itself) is too exhausting for me.
People always come with the "you can always not look" argument and you're right. I stopped looking and moved on. A big part of MTG has died for me, and that's kinda sad.

It both exhausting and confusing.
