Holy crap. Think of what % of all of Hasbro WoTC is, profit wise. Then think of what % of that you think MTG is.

spoilerIt's a LOT more than you think

spoilerLast quarter, according to Seth, WoTC was ~95% of Hasbro's profits

Yet the company reinvests only 8% of it's profit. So they are milking magic until it dies instead of building up it's lore, competitive scene, make some films in mtg settings etc.
