My experiences with the story recently is that while the characters are generally well-developed and and the writing itself is incredible (I got into other stuff by Valdez, McGuire, and Rivera through these stories), the actual plots tend to be fairly rushed and wrap up too quickly and cleanly for what's ostensibly a PG-13 series.

I tend to dip in and out of the online stories--I did original Amonkhet through Rival of Ixalan, skipped a ton (but kept up with summaries and wiki articles and stuff), and started again with Wild of Eldraine, getting halfway through Thunder Junction before sliding off again. So I'm not all the way up to date.

Overall, I agree with this post, and I apologize for not being able to discuss it more directly. I just wish the stories themselves would be developed a little better--I don't need, like, endless grittiness and deep moralizing over repercussions or anything, and I know the constraints of short story writing mean things have to keep moving quickly. But, as one example, the Agatha of the Vile Cauldron part of Wilds of Eldraine started and ended in half a chapter, and barely got mentioned again. There's a whole new story arc coming out in four months, let's get this one done.

Main characters: great.

Dialogue: generally strong.

Secondary characters: occasionally flat.

Setting description: excellent.

Main arc plot development: generally good, sometimes cramped.

Secondary plot development: can be missing entirely.

I don't want to be too harsh on the stories; I do enjoy them for what they are, and again, WotC got the right authors on board. But I'd like to see more of the world outside of what's immediately around the main characters of the moment, and there's maybe one story per set that does that. I've seriously considered writing my own fan fiction to fill in some of the details I'd like to see and flesh out the planes for myself.

Creature cheats always fun. Heartstone would br amazing in here with this commander. Agatha of the Vile Cauldron as well, especially if she can be buffed. Tutoring for these cards would also be a big plus.
