Can someone explain to me why these backgrounds in Ravnica and Strixhaven are so overwhelming overpowered and near useless if you're not a spellcaster...
I know these are MTG backgrounds but if your playing I these settings isn't there just a massive power imbalance between those who use these and who don't.
Why would you ever allow these in a none MTG D&D campaign...
Well, Strixhaven is literally a school for casters, so it does make sense that they'll be for casters, and casters will be assumed to be the vast majority of characters present. The backgrounds, from what I remember (I don't own it), also only really make sense in Strixhaven. The only issue is if you have characters in Strixhaven that reject the Strixhaven backgrounds...which is on them, I guess?

If you're not willing or able to to discuss in good faith, then don't be surprised if I don't respond, there are better things in life for me to do than humour you. This signature is that response.
They are going to be rewriting a lot of the standard backgrounds to follow the same suit. The original material was written a long time ago and opinions change.
