Will it suck? It seems like limited is where the current R&D shines, at least compared to construction. A draft focused Un-set should be perfect. I just hope it still feels like a true MtG set, like a more light-hearted Conspiracy set

Ok, so hear me out for a second here. Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis should've been an Un-Commander.
I mean, just LOOK at this thing. It's a GroupHug, Greco-Gay Biracial Power-Couple, and it's default card style is the pre-con foil. You couldn't make this thing more Fabulous without being too on the nose. I mean, on one hand, yeah, they put in lore and shit, but on the other hand... It's just about the gayest stereotype snowflake you could put in there!
I honestly think that they purposefully overdid this commander just so 1) SJWs that buy this precon for how gay it is will play Grouphug and at least be... tolerable in-game, and 2) to really point out how ridiculous the MTG Snowflakeness really is. Combine that with the Jacestice League getting BTFO by Bolas, and I think MTG might, MIGHT, be trying to shift themselves to a more palatable point in the lore... and I think Unstable is it going to be the Turning Point.
I personally, believe, and hope, that they're going to use Unstable to really satirize all of their past lore fuck-ups to some degree, and use it not politically, but strategically to re-orient themselves with their audience... Something akin to South Park when its at its best comedy and commentary.
Also, I think this will be the set that people will look back and say "Hey, that's when Magic became fun again."

>made a return to Dominaria with Garfield
I really do feel like this is a big turning point too. Even if all the sets suck, you can tell they are at least trying to have fun.

If it doesnt have the full art lands like the other un sets nobody will touch it

Which isn't saying much. Amonkhet was an abysmal set for limited and Hour is looking even worse. Pick quality wildly varies between boosters. You can get entire boosters full of below average filler trash.

I want to build a cube, so hopefully the lands will keep everything cheap.
