It's wild to hear how Flesh and Blood looks in the rest of the country, because the scene in my area is very active. I was hesitant to get into any new card game and didn't even really learn about it until the initial "investor" thing had pretty much run its course, but it seems like there are a lot of Magic players who genuinely enjoy the game and are looking for competitive in-person tournaments, and it's been worth our time to carry it even if it dies out and we end up holding the bag on some of the product.

As far the effect a downturn in Magic would have on our store, it would be noticeable, but honestly, it's Pokemon that's keeping our lights on. Before we opened, I bought a bunch of standard draft boosters being cleared out by another local store at $72/box and wondered "why can't they sell this stuff?" Well, it turns out that, yeah, standard Magic stuff is just a little harder to move these days. Collector's boosters are particularly rotten. Most of our Magic revenue comes from the supplemental sets.
