When did the downfall of Magic The Gathering begin?
1990

>>729224093What's in all these? Are they all just boxes of unopened packs?
>>729224145I'm playing arena right now, this is vidya
>>729224093Who is even buying all this garbage? There can't be this much genuine demand for flashy card board.
>>729224204I sold the Black War Greymon ACE rare card that had just come out on the day I pulled it from a pack for £400, you'd be surprised
>>729224093Planeswalker card type to reach more players was the first nail to the coffin. Then it was the acquisition by Hasbro and out-of-universe card versions. Now it's dead and buried.

>>729224093Planeswalkers
>>729224284>>729224305I've never gotten to play with a planeswalker card, I don't own one and standard seems to be all about snowballing 1/2 drops. What's so bad about them?
>>729224251Yeah, but you probably sold it to some other guy who is trying to resell it. The population of genuine card collectors hasn't gone up to sustain the growth in the second hand market.
>>729224093MTG isn't a video game.
>>729224340Imagine a single card that completely turns the game from one of resource management to one of forcing the opponent to play around your over designed bullshit that often slows the game to a crawl.
>>729224340nothing, just seething boomers. Infact current magic which is in a terrible state has barely any planeswalkers
>>729224468planeswalkers are barely played in modern standard or commander
>>729224093As a newb that started then, my reference is only that Amonkhet and Ixalan were cool and not fucked, Innistrad was stinky. War of the Spark made me wanna puke.
1998
>>729224340The planeswalkers are a subgame that sidetracks the classic magic, they were nearly always overpowered and warped the meta even in eternal formats. Their addition was a big unnecessary gamble to sell more packs with new crazy mythics.
Blackrock does this with entire suburbs of houses.
