Arachnophobia
An entire set (+more?) based on a VERY COMMON phobia seems either cruel or shortsighted. I saw some physical card previews and I could deal -- but I panicked at the new Arena loading screen. Is there any way to avoid interacting with these cards? If the whole set is nightmare fuel, then it means a hiatus until the avalanche of spiders is out of standard.

I concur that the new loading image is in poor taste considering arachnophobia is a very real thing and WotC had many, many other possible 'spider motifs' they could've considered to obtain the same subtle Spider-Man marketing tie-in w/o having such a "realistic" looking image.
Then again, I'm offended by the "leather bustier person" https://feedback.wizards.com/forums/918667-mtg-arena-bugs-product-suggestions/suggestions/50439576-please-remove-the-leather-bustier-person-in-the , so what do I know? ;)
