That's true with almost everything, isn't it? Somebody sees a new way to
make money, everybody jumps onto the bandwagon, after a few years the
public loses interest (partly because of flooding of the market) and then
only the strong survive.

I tend to think of M:tG as the AD&D of the CCG market... It has all the
signs, if you ask me, and as such I don't really expect Magic to die and
