1) 5% hopefully headed to 0%

2) Magic only

3) I think Hasbro is doing the right thing and what's good for Hasbro is good for Mana Pool. MTG is all of Hasbro's profits now and 30% of its revenue... the rest is almost margin-free. MTG is going to grow a lot further... pandemic brought forward revenue but collectibles will keep growing forever.

I'd love to talk more techie mtg stuff on our Discord: https://discord.gg/u4J5aGU2

YIKES. That's certainly one way to look at a market: unbridled optimism that it will never shrink!

I did think about doing climate change stuff, but Magic is in my blood for better or worse.

I hope we don't destroy the planet, and I hope we get to space, and then I think there will be at least a solar-system-sized economy of collectibles. Physical ones will be extra rare because of distance issues too.

Hey! From a technical point, how did you get all the card images? Is there a way to download them from somewhere?
