I can understand WoTC's idea to expand MTG and make it even bigger, but this is just too fast. I haven't been building as many new decks just simply because there's been too much product
overload, and as an EDH player, too many new legendaries and potential staples to look at. If there were just half of what there is now coming out, it would be so much easier to actually think about the game. The product
overload hits everyone and just makes the creative process less fun.
However, what WoTC HAS been improving on is the reprint value in the commander decks and sets. There haven't been any
Dockside Extortionist /
Fierce Guardianship cards printed this year, and so many $20 card have been reprinted, driving down their prices. (Still waiting for a
Smothering Tithe reprint though.) In addition the introduction of collector boosters has driven down the prices on rares and foils, which is actually fairly nice if you're someone who builds on a budget. 2#20 was an interesting, if a bit unsavory year for Magic, and 2021 has felt a bit better, except for the overwhelming product
fatigue. If Wizards can slow production of new sets and cards just a little bit, it wouldn't hurt their financials a bit, and those precious stockholders wouldn't have to worry.
If Wizards listens to the comunity just a little bit more and decides to focus their attention on making the Magic more fun to play instead of greater profits, they could reverse the very slow but gradual decline of the game everyone loves, MTG could really get a whole lot better.
