Sizzling Soloist

I'm okay with the Universes Beyond cards, mostly because I usually know way more about M:tG than whatever franchise they're pulling in. To me, it's just another plane with a different tone or technology level.
The biggest sticking point for me right now is the Doctor Who Planechase planes. Most of them are okay, but a couple of them are set on actual, non-fictional places on Earth, the worst offender right now being Prime Minister's Cabinet Room. I know early sets like Portal Three Kingdoms and Arabian Nights have historical references, but those are heavily adjusted by folklore and the passage of time. Maybe it's just my cultural shortsightedness, but Capture of Jingzhou feels about as real-world Earth-y as Fiery Cannonade or Sizzling Soloist. Putting a card, even one specifically for a variant format, at 10 Downing Street is just a little too specific for me.
I've been wanting more planes that aren't direct copies of Earth cultures for a long time now. They're my favorite type of plane. Now, we're getting cards on contemporary Earth itself. This annoys me, both aesthetically and philosophically. (If we get a Wizards of the Coast HQ plane, I'll be happy.)
