My head hurts, and it's all thanks to MTG Spider-Man.
Magic: The Gathering publisher Wizards of the Coast has revealed a new plan to make sure its digital releases line up with paper expansions, and it's... well, it's pretty wild. To get around what I assume are rights issues, MTG Arena on mobile and PC will be receiving copies of sets like MTG Spider-Man with identical mechanics but totally different names and art. And I don't mean tweaks. By the sounds of it, cards are going to use the same rules but have completely different illustrations, titles, and theming. Prepare for Professor Octopi, who is in no way similar to Doctor Octopus. No sir. Spider-Man? Don't be ridiculous, this is Arachnid-Boy with his legally-distinct string-slingers. Totally different.
