[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 2688973, member: 11697"] Market share would drop like a stone into a bottomless well with a majority of their audience dropping any new edition that had an integrated and required collectable element. In my opinion. Any attempt to do this would be a financial suicide on the order of a second coming of Dragon Dice. I'd stop buying WotC material if that rumor held true, period. MtG is fine as a game on its own. MtG isn't DnD, and MtG players can happily play their game while DnD players happily play their game. Similarly the miniatures game isn't DnD, and they can sit and play their minis game while I can play DnD. Seperate product lines and everyone is happy with the game of their choice; life is good. The existance of one doesn't muddy the waters of the other, but any true attempt to introduce the randomized element of one into the other wouldn't be DnD, it'd be some freakish abomination stitched together from the dismembered body parts of the worst aspects of other games, given life by dubious game design and perhaps the electricity from a broken coffee pot in Redmond WA. It will demand your money and walk around stiffly and maybe moan and smell funny, leaching away your ability to play an RPG rather than a CCG, and eventually you and your friends will have to chase it into a burning windmill that was once converted into a FLGS, or perhaps exile it into the arctic. Or something like that. And yeah, the OP was full of it. [/QUOTE]
