I haven’t played since before Wizards started pushing Commander, at that time called EDH. I felt the Standard Format was a perfect setup to keep the game fresh and innovative while still making money, and the Legacy Format was perfect for the people who had cards that are no longer in Standard. I think the Commander Format killed a perfect system, and Wizards/Hasbro are just trying everything to make money and keep the game mostly unplayable with the licensed tie-ins.
I think some of the lore is cool, but actually all games based on collectables are trash.
Netrunner is where it’s at. Community run and maintained with the sole purpose of keeping the game good instead of making a profit.
The game has to evolve or die. There’s only so many 1 cost 1/1 mana dorks you can print before people stop caring.
But when things evolve, some people join, others leave. You sound like a leaver. It sucks that you lost something you liked, but it’s not that unpopular of an opinion. I’m sure most people playing 20 years ago don’t still play.
It’s also the sheer amount… They are getting new sets every two months… On top of things like secret lairs and everything… It’s just to much…
I’m 50. I was playing M:tG back in high school. Revised was the unlimited set out at the time. I thought they were overdoing the expansions back then.
Now it all seems remarkably silly to me with all the licensed stuff, and I’m glad I gave it up 30 years ago.
It was fun at the time but now it’s too exhausting to keep up with.

So you haven’t played in two decades. Hard to take your opinion seriously. You can play for free with their app now.
Its so funny to see opinion posts that start with “I haven’t actually consumed this product yet/since the update that I have an opinion about”
Planeswalkers broke the game.
