"Magic sets are being released too fast" No, they're really not. For us, 90% of a set's sales are in the first 45 days. That leaves 180 days in the year where standard legal sets are selling at a fractional rate. That's 50% of the year with anemic sealed product sales...

So Wizards adds in ancillary products which typically have a smaller sales window and people complain that they can't keep up. Do you complain when the bakery makes too many flavors donuts that you like so they can appeal to a larger base? No. Get out of here with that shit.

You have 4 months between sets, then 3, then 1, then 1, then 1. That's why every year at this time people say it's too fast, and it's not because it's the players who are at fault.

People say Magic releases too fast all year round man and have for years regardless of the release schedule

I really only think about it at this time of the year where War is still fresh, the latest "masters set" just released 3 days ago, and we're having spoilers for the next set that releases in two weeks ... followed by other specialty products.
