Secret Lairs and Unique Card Mechanics for FOMO Cards: A Response RE: Mechanics ONLY

A lot of Magic Social Media has gone ballistic over the reveal of
the new "The Walking Dead" Secret Lair cards, which for a variety
of reasons can cause concern to players across multiple formats.
 While I am not going to disagree with the issues that have
cropped up over morality of character decisions, issues with
Magic's ongoing story (with crossovers with TWD) or the
direct-to-players card sales from Wizards, I do not believe that
Secret Lairs or unique mechanics on Secret Lair cards break
tradition with other major IPs that do similar things to boost
sales.  I also don't believe that we should discourage
people from buying these cards based on this issue - if people
want to buy these cards, then they should be able to play with
them.
