The people who seem to think Magic is fading would appear to be very much mistaken.In any case, the whole thread rests on a mistaken notion of the relative importance of D&D and Magic to WotC's bottom line. Magic is their cash cow (along with Duelmasters outside North America) and I wouldn't be surprised if there have been times - the last few months before 4E came out, at the very least - when Magic was subsidizing D&D. This seems to be something that (a)  WotC is comfortable with and (b) Hasbro shows no signs of giving a crap about one way or the other.</blockquote>
