      Magic is unique and already has decades of history with set game modes, metas and very well thought out card pools people already enjoy. With how the cards are structured, people have also made other game modes from the cards, which adds a level of sandbox-iness that doesn’t exist in most other games.

      Cards aren’t also typically power scaled to irrelevance, so people’s history with the game usually carries forward to eternal formats.

      Also, the community is already overwhelmingly pro-proxy for certain formats / game modes, and being pro-proxy is seeping into other formats too. Everytime shit like this happens with WotC/Hasbro, the default reaction from a lot of people is “I’ll just proxy the cards”.

      I’ve tried a few TCGs (Pokémon, Yu Gi Oh, Magic, and virtual ones like Gwent, Hearthstone, and Runeterra).

      Magic remains my favorite by far and is the one I keep coming back to most consistently.

      First of all, play what? Uno?
      Secondly, don’t you ever get tired of picking up your life and moving somewhere else every time some idiot decides to shit in your living room?

      Sorry if you’re asking this in earnest, by the way. I just find this unwillingness to believe in a better world infuriating. I don’t play magic, but I will stand up for people standing up for themselves.

      [edit]

      which they say risked saturating the market and reducing the value of existing cards on the secondary market.

      @[email protected], is it that this lawsuit is a good thing in spite of it being filed by weirdos? I feel like I’ve scarcely heard of that ever paying off.
