I'd gladly consume some Magic: The Gathering slop, ngl

Doesn't it already exist? There's a bunch of books and collectibles already

yeah but I want extra large buckets of slop that I can see on a shiny screen, moving around and flashing lights to delight my porcine brain

Yeah but people aren't going to read 300+ page novels to understand the lore of M:TG, they want to have it explained in an entertaining way over the course of about 2 hours.

Also, The Thran would be awesome as a movie. Hell, I'd even go see a stage production of The Thran.

They had an anthology I read as a kid that was maybe 20 pages/story

Genuinely good stuff, too

I'd have to track that down.

Also how big a screw is it that none of the Magic comics are canon?

Everyone wants to do a blank slate and an origin story, but as soon as writing gets hard they'll shamelessly plagiarize the old material.
