That sudden about face makes me think someone caved to social conservatism in some form or another, which is bad taste and soured it for everyone.
Me I'm in an exploratory state after years of suppression, so seeing a storyline cater to this is enlightening. The baiting factor is not, though I can sort of appreciate the reasons for doing so. But the sudden change at the end? Nuh uh!
*sigh* Being able to be a strong woman like Jhoira is a dream that I will make happen soon. (oh snap! did 'buster just reveal something deep? )

In short: War of the Spark ****ed it up for everyone and they were spooked by it. Nice to see them admitting this and are going back to the latest tried-and-true approach.
This ought to be interesting moving forward.

In all the feeling I got from this Theros storyline was merely in place to tie up loose ends from the end of the first block, with little or no main correlation to the next big arc that seems to be setting up via Eldraine. I suspect the same thing with Zendikar III.
But with Ikoria? A new place, new dynamics. I thought this morning about who or what would be an ideal character for this, and immediately I thought of Vivien. Her homeworld is ravaged and Ikoria seems to be the place where she would call home as a refugee.
Then I saw a pic of an Ikoria ad on the back of one of the THB cards, so it looks like my theory was right re: Vivien. Where that will go? Who knows. It's cool though nonetheless.
