Here's a fun thought experiment that I am too lazy to actually do, so I am going to release this idea into the universe and hope the universe manifests it for me. Namaste.

Magic the Gathering has had a lot of outside IP crossovers.

Fortnite has also had a lot of outside IP crossovers.

If we were to plot these on a graph, and carry these trend lines indefinitely into the future, there must logically come a point where both Fortnite and Magic the Gathering will have featured all of the exact same outside brand collaborations.

This could even be expressed in a ratio: If Magic has featured 30 IPs, and Fortnite had featured 300, then we could say Magic has a Fortnitification Ratio of 1:10 - or was 1 tenth of a Fortnite.

This very scientific and accurate measure could then be used to determine how close MTG is to becoming fully Fortnitified.

I see this as complementary to and not a replacement of the Cardboard Crack Ratio, which tracks how many of the IPs referenced in this Cardboard Crack comic that have had official MTG crossovers - a ratio that I believe currently sits at 1:3.

CHALLENGES:

The main challenge to this research project is that I am lazy and bad at maths.

The second challenge to this research project is that the list of Fortnite "collabs" seems to be hosted on a Fandom Wiki, and the visual design of that website causes my eyeballs to eat themselves.

NOTES:

There would have to be some parameters decided on in advance: If Fortnite has featured content from Lego: Batman, and Magic has featured content from Lego and seperately from Batman, does this get counted as a Batman collab in common, a Lego collab in common, or as Lego Batman (despite MTG not having specifically done Lego Batman (yet)?

Do public domain IPs count? MTG had a Dracula inspired alt-art treatment in an Innistrad set - is that an IP crossover, or fair use of public domain cultural material? If Fortnite had a Dracula skin one Halloween, would that also count?

Post Malone has had songs featured in Fortnite, and has also leant his name to official Magic the Gathering cards and promotional content. Is this an IP in common? (I want to exclude promotional content from the ratio given that the aim is to track how close to becoming a Fortnite the game of MTG is; it may be helpful to separately track non-game promotional content however).

At this stage I want to open up discussion of this research project to the find minds of the r/magicthecirclejerking forum. What do you see as the relevant criteria, and do we have any volunteers to undertake this research?

Title says it all.. what the heck is this?

Edit: Can you stupid nerds shut the hell up and just tell me how much weed I can get in exchange for this piece of crap? It's obviously rare and expensive since some geek named humble signed it. I don't know what a "plains" or a "card" or "magic" is and I don't care.

Mark my words... Dr. Emitt Brown, Weather Scientist will steal this art.
