    Hasbro Lawsuit Over Magic Card Overprints Voluntarily Dismissed

    Convenience and dopamine from just opening the packs. And mostly just to play the game.

    Hasbro Lawsuit Over Magic Card Overprints Voluntarily Dismissed

    I mean, the game mostly sells in small packs at pharmacies and grocery stores for kitchen table play. The collectable market is not as important as many hardcore hobbyists think it is.

    By all of 42 minutes, lol. The tension, it is palpable.

    It is most definitely not, though if they blew it up it may impact new sales. A lot of people buy packs to have the fun of opening them, sell the big ticket cards and build low level "Pauper" decks for their own use.

    D&D General Former Head of D&D Says Vecna: Eve of Ruin Was Not Going To Feature Obelisk Plot

    So, just going to bump this to make a last second prediction: the latest that WotC has announced the first product of the year during the 5E era was February 25th, 2019. On that day, theybunveil d Ghosts of Saltmarsh for a May 21st release date. The equivalent this year would be this coming...
