The Seven Unforgivable Sins of Wizards of the Coast, revisited.

Me looking at MTG in 2025

Seven years ago, I started a series of articles called "The Seven Unforgivable Sins of Wizards of the Coast". At the time, the blog was new and was entirely based on card/deck reviews. A part of me wanted something more though, than just my thoughts on Bog Imps and Pikemen. 

I started the series with what I felt were, in chronological order, sins WotC had committed primarily about Magic: the Gathering (MTG) and its resulting fallout. 

At the time I featured a great deal of sources, quotes, and articles. A lot has changed since 2018, the massive archive of articles on Magicthegathering.com is gone, gatherer comments are gone, a great deal of reddit like and MTGSalvation.com threads are gone. The Internet is in its book burning phase for the sake of saving money, and it sucks. 

I will take each sin, link it to the original article, give a basic overview of my point from seven years ago, and then talk about how much that has changed, for better or for worse. 

I will try to source articles when I can, and I will, as said, certainly like the original article I wrote.

Naturally, this will take time, but I'm hoping to have the series finished by the end of the summer.
