Just waiting for the shoe to drop.

And you have to wonder, why does someone need to make this video in the first place? What is really trying to be communicated here. At the end of the day, pulled apart is "Spend money on MTG, the water is fine, and definitely In-Crowd acceptable now!" BC it is covert marketing.

This video is clarifying that all people can play MTG, but they are leaving out a dangerous thing occurring to TCGs because the likes of Logan Paul drove mainstream hype, accelerated vintage card valuations, and heavily influenced collector culture, turning it speculative assets

All the while "new players" will choose casual because of IP interest in a set alone. Instead of a stable community and audience, they choose a fluxing product that works for everyone, but to do so it waters down their original intent/storylines/historied lore, as exampled in UB

It's become a classist gatekeeping by way of product lines. To keep up in competitive, you need to be hitting higher middle class with time and money to spend that will automatically force those of lower socioeconomic/capital rings to go to casual just to continue to play.

There is nothing wrong with more players per se. It's the trading of types of players. The shift to more 'casual' content allows them to drop in and out of sets. But true competitive players are left with increasingly expensive cards, making comp. and std players to be whales.

Trying to get the shading and crying is so dead on.

Saw the onion ramen episode of Tojima Wants To Be Kamen Rider on Sunday. Made the damn thing on Tuesday. It was every bit as good as Sena made it out to be. @Crunchyroll @ToeiAnimation @ishimoripro @yokusaru_works

Don't worry Max, we all know the type. Ball and shooter. Hasn't been touched by a girl since his last cousin. Has several loli waifu pillows with names. Streams as a low res vtuber chick with massive tits dressed as a nun. Just play what you like to piss in their cornflakes.

Going with the 'dickless f*gg*t' over a video game franchise IP? This kind of insult is how you know someone bought all the garage kit models from Morimiya Middle School Shooting and where all that revenge edgelord isekai doujin comes from at Komiket.
