So then all books are now mystery boxes, and so are movies, tv shows, music, etc? Unless you’ve memorized every word? That’s not ridiculous at all lol.

I think you might have missed this from my reply:

That said, I’ll concede the point that they’re not really equivalent despite the fact that they’re both games played with printed pieces of paper, because that mystery aspect to a pack of Magic cards makes them different

But yes it does kind of seem like you’re putting down those who collect “useless” things and your distinction of collecting to display vs collecting to play a game is tenuous at best.

Listen pal, I already told you that wasn’t my intention, and clarified again that the existence of the game is the thing I hold as the differentiator between Magic and quite literally everything else on that list. You can do me the courtesy of believing me, or you can fuck off. You don’t get to dictate my intentions or meaning.
