MTG over 2020 had their best year ever for sales, this despite the fact that a pandemic was making meeting up to play far harder.

Oh yeah, I think they realized that they can instead just make Magic Arena for the game part, and sell to the collectors for the cash part. Plus WotC has never fully understood commander and why people play it, just that the products seem to be good.
By replacing organized play with a digital game, suddenly, why are you bothering with all of these local gamestores, who gives a shit. Just sell directly to the customer and have them play on your platform instead. If something's OP, just ban it, people aren't buying physical cards and are getting any sort of value deleted, they can just get some wildcards instead.

I still think MtG is the best cardgame in the world, and now there's a platform where they can actually compete with Hearthstone and yu-gi-oh. I can't imagine them not crushing it.
