MTG declined in revenue compared to 2016. Hasbro is banking on their ""successful"" beta of MTG Arena to drive new demand.
From their Q4 Phone Conference: MAGIC: THE GATHERING finished the year strong, as revenue grew in the fourth quarter, but full-year revenue declined slightly. Our investments and activities for long-term growth are taking hold, including a successful closed beta for our new digital initiative, MAGIC: THE GATHERING ARENA.
Please discuss the dying game that is Magic The Gathering. Will MTG Arena save it? Card prices will tank on the reduction in playerbase?
Revenue declined in 2017 despite a glut of products, reprints, and masters sets. That definitely means a contraction in playerbase. Ouch.

Okay Jeremy.

I doubt MTG will really die any soon. its too big to not be bought out by another company if that were ever to happen. now will WOTC be better or worse under different masters i cant say. Although we might see the return of alcohol references if so.

It deserves to die. The game is fun but the fan base is to retarded to realize that is a giant scam
Bans cards from only a few sets ago >hur dur this is just cuz it is to hard for them to balance their own game
