“Hasbro hopes these sets will bring in new and lapsed players” what they really want is target a different audience for each released UB who will buy just this particular set. The question is what happens when you run out of popular IPs to print. Do you just cycle back to Marvel every 3 years?
Probably exactly what will happen-- Hasbro will nominate an ‘evergreen’ IP to return to during stale times, and in 20 years, there’ll be more capes than planeswalkers roaming the in-game world. Magic’s identity swirling down the same drain Hunt: Showdown’s is (I mean hey, at least you don’t have Post fucking Malone as a Planeswalker or Legendary Human yet).

I don’t really think this is a realistic concern for them.
