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.
Never been a fan of CCGs as their business models are exploitative and inevitably lead to power creep.
Netrunner and Compile have me sorted for card games for a while.
The original pay to win game. Even back in the early 2000s a competitive deck ran about $400 in standard.
