I still can't imagine the logic of the people making decisions like, "Yeah, let's charge $50 - basically the price of any next gen console game - for 1/3 (if you're lucky) of one deck in Magic!"

I have played Magic since around 1994. In that time I have seen every form of “the sky falling” and every fear that the game was dying. While I’m sure Wizards is getting tons of new players, I have NEVER seen this many people irritated with the state of the game and quitting.

Things that could have fixed Nadu: - Only triggers once per turn. - Lands enter tapped. - 3/3 instead of 3/4. - Ability cap is for Nadu itself and not per creature. - Only triggers from spells OR abilities, not both. - Only triggers from opponents' spells and abilities.

1) Calling Magic a “children’s” card game is condescending and reductive; I literally know zero children who play the game and it was never marketing toward children. 2) Something doesn’t specifically have to be a “financial decision” to be upset about losing money on it.

This take is utterly insane to me. PLAYING TOURNAMENT MAGIC IS NOT A RIGHT. If you want to play tournament Magic, which is an expensive hobby, owning the cards is the price of doing so. You need to seriously check your entitlement if you think like this.

@mtgaaron I think for me, live coverage was a huge draw. Being able to tune into an SCG or a GP every weekend and see new and exciting decks, or tweaks to existing decks, that you could then play the next week was invigorating for a Constructed format.

Welp, @MTG_Arena strikes again. If you guys are going to build decks, make sure you DON'T click "Standard" in Advanced Filters. It won't show you legal cards you have that AREN'T from Standard sets and you'll end up wasting mythic wild cards. Absolutely fucking infuriating.

The reasons @CKiritz gives for not being able to "shift" or "trade up" wildcards from lower to higher rarities is because it "feels bad when a player can't build a deck because they don't have enough common/uncommons wildcards." Have these people ever PLAYED Magic?

I don't have a problem with the "requesting that people ask" part. It's mostly just odd how unhinged the first part comes across as. You're playing a game, with other people. Someone you're engaged in a game with picking up a card to read it seems pretty harmless.
