"Your attempts to make me more profit didn't make me enough profit" is a wild basis for a suit, even in 2026.
Right, is there something I'm missing? They made a mistake and thought it would be more popular. What if it had been the other way and didn't print enough? I bet they would have sued as well.
It's not that they're printing too many cards from each set, making the cards less valuable due to a lack of scarcity. It's that they're printing too many sets, driving down the value of each set as players get overwhelmed by the volume of new keywords and mechanics.
And most card shops exist because of the secondary MTG market. So this isn't just card speculators being impacted, but the brick-and-mortar stores that created the popularity of MTG in the first place.
Hasbro is eating their player base in order to secure more and faster profits. Yeah, this lawsuit isn't the best angle, but it's going to be a good thing if it works and forces Hasbro to stop this shit.
That's a different angle I hadn't thought of. That's interesting to hear about. I've never played,
is there a way to take the game back? Maybe have an agreed upon name for supplemental cards to add on to your old set?
I know of this controversy second-hand, sorry.
