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.
So you haven’t played in two decades. Hard to take your opinion seriously. You can play for free with their app now.
I visit many of the game shops in my area to try to find TTRPG’s and players, but all I find is Magic players and they will talk about the game in length.
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”
