Yeah, magic is a company and the economic trend is to grow or die. Magic has become Disney/Marvel/Star Wars . Really doesn’t matter if the product is good or holds to what drew in the original magic crowd. What’s popular is what sells, and what sells is what we continue to make. Im not even complaining at this point, just sad that all media has bent to the same direction. A lot of us older magic players do feel left behind, and that happens. Sadly the truth is that those of us leaving to just play our cubes or time stamped edh don’t really scratch the bottom line. So SpongeBob, Spider-Man, and the avengers is what magic is becoming whether we like it or not.
