If Magic makes a Harry Potter set or even Secret Lair, I'm done. I play Arena a couple hours a day. I play every weekend with my kids. I'll just play something else.

@magic.wizards.com I hear there's an email survey testing the waters on Harry Potter. I didn't get one, but here's a free data point. I dropped $3K+ on Reality Fracture. If HP becomes a release/Secret Lair, I'll contribute $0 in sales. I won't play with those using those cards. 👇

I love magic and have played it to some degree nearly my whole life If they do a Harry Potter set, WotC can eat shit and die tbh

My Ur-Dragon deck *by itself* clears $10k but, if Magic does UB Harry Potter, I'm out. All of it.

We actually have an internal protocol for HP UB. It's called "stop selling Magic because all our customers are gonna be quitting if that ever gets announced".

i've been playing this game since the beginning. i was a judge for seven years. a wizards employee for eight (five of which were in magic r&d), and even to this day i spend upwards of a thousand dollars on every new non-ub set. hp in magic would almost certainly get me to quit forever.

If they print Harry Potter, fuck them. I'll happily toss 28 years of playing & collecting, spending at least $500 on each set out of the window to send a "fuck you very much" to that franchise. Make no mistake: there will be only trash people left.

It is important to note here, even if you don't get this survey, many important people at WotC are readily accessible via e-mail and e-mailing them to let them know your thoughts is important, too!

You should take the survey to make sure to say fuck no

Oh I should say its not just Magic I'd leave. I would also abandon D&D.

Willow@vorrenthalla.bsky.social · 20h ago

If wotc does a Harry Potter set I leave magic. There's no negotiation on this one. Doing a Harry Potter set is telling every trans person that they are happy to help fund the persecution of us if doing so makes them money. I can find another card game.

If this ever becomes a thing, I'll fully retire from magic.

This would make me divest fully from Magic. I'll be extremely sad for sure but no hobby of mine is worth giving more money and legitimacy to someone who spends the majority of their time expositing bigotry.

I'm already proxying most things, this would be "I am never touching Magic again" Played since '94, it was a good run until it wasn't vibe

I’ve already been engaging with the game less lately. This would make me sell of nearly my entire collection and keep just my most special commander decks.

So far, no one has actually produced an image of this survey, so I'm withholding judgment until we see proof. But as a premature warning to Wizards of the Coast: the moment I catch even a hint of TERF shit in this card game, you've lost me for good.

@magic.wizards.com I have been playing since 2001, I spend about 15k a year on MTG, and I have friends who spend more. If you do a Harry Potter set we will all stop immediately. You can do better than align yourself with a transphobic bigot.

@magic.wizards.com You won’t be getting any more of my money if you make a HP set. You’ll be dead to me.

Reno St.John, Rogue Radio Host@renothevast.bsky.social · 20h ago

@magic.wizards.com I didn't get a WotC email either, but that's ok. Here's your free data point from me: I'm not buying any. Print it and watch my next 4.1k posts divert new players away from Magic/Hasbro. Harry Potter money is used to persecute my friends and family. Go get Owl House instead.

Dear Hasbro and WotC: if you create a Harry Potter MTG set I will never spend another dollar on any of your products ever again.

Yeah I would 100% be done with Magic if we ever get HP anything. Set, Secret Lair, Anything at all, and I am done

@magic.wizards.com I didn’t get the email asking my thought on HP coming to Magic. Here’s yet another free data point for you. DON’T YOU DARE. This is the only thing I believe would truly kill the game. Your players don’t want it. New players don’t want it. Your staff doesn’t want it. Just no.

If wotc prints a single hp card I'm flooding the market with proxies and personally tanking the value of every reserve list and commander staple. I will personally undercut any creator that works with the hp ip. TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS #mtg #magic #wotc #fuckjkr #freebugs #freethebugs

Wizards is testing the waters on how people would receive a Harry Potter product. I haven’t gotten the survey, but I’d like to register a whole-hearted “absolutely fucking not.” Hate has no home in Magic.

Imagine being so out of touch that you have to ask your customer base if it's okay to fund that psychotic transphobe's endless war on trans people. If that set gets announced, I will sell all my cards, never buy anything from wotc again, and tell everyone who will listen to do the same!

I'll be very clear: If HP comes to Magic; I'm out. I'm already on my way out and pivoting to Riftbound. Funding trans hate would fully cement me in camp "I'll sell out and play anything else." Fuck JKR. Fuck Harry Potter. Protect your trans friends 🤘

I've been a Magic player since 1994. please Wizards, PLEASE, do not print Harry Potter cards. this isn't just a UB property some people opt out of. it would be something that gets huge swaths of your customers out of the game PERMANENTLY.

Well, that's an easy way for me to drop this game. Forever.

i don’t buy ub products because i want to “vote with my wallet” but if they print harry potter cards i will absolutely never buy any magic products ever again. even having the gall to ask about it in a survey is disgusting. heinous loser behavior. trans rights are more important than any hobby. 🏳️‍⚧️

ToadBrews@toadbrews.bsky.social · 21h ago

For everyone saying "I wouldn't buy Harry Potter cards" they know. They're banking on you still buying other cards while Potter fans buy the Harry Potter cards. You're gonna have to boycott entirely to impact their bottom line and they know most people won't.

i've been playing this game since the beginning. i was a judge for seven years. a wizards employee for eight (five of which were in magic r&d), and even to this day i spend upwards of a thousand dollars on every new non-ub set. hp in magic would almost certainly get me to quit forever.
