Where do you think prize support for tournaments would come from if no one had to buy the cards?

Entry fees?

  • And sponsorships, and vendors and etc.

    There's tournaments for _all kinds_ of games that don't require loot-box purchases to compete, it's not exactly an unknown problem.

  • The Mtg Pro Tour is free of entry and has a $500,000 prize pool. Tournaments encourage people to buy cards.

    • And all it requires is a gross, exploitative business model and lots of grief.
