Consumer confidence is a huge selling point for Magic... "you can spend $100s on this game and play all these places!" Is the very backbone of Magic's success. How many sets of golf clubs would people buy if there were no public golf courses? 7/x

The history of TCGs is paved with games that people loved fervently but couldn't find other players for. FLGS retailers talk and they've been beating the same drum for the last few years "DIVERSIFY AWAY FROM MAGIC" with many choosing to drop Magic events entirely. 8/x

If Wizards treats Magic through Amazon the same way they do their other IPs (D&D books are often sold at less than $1 above retailers' cost for example), we'll see a lot fewer "Magic shops" which results in less players, less play opportunities, and less Magic. 9/x

This whole situation reeks of Hasbro grasping at straws to cover the lost sales from one of their largest buyers closing up shop (Toys R Us). The suits see Magic as indiscernable from Monopoly, just look at their stockholder reports. 10/x
