And that's just supposed to make me ignore this ridiculous nonsense?

To the point about D&D rulebooks, do you not know you're buying a pack of Magic cards? No, you just don't know what's in the pack. If you already knew exactly what was in the D&D rulebook, why would you need to buy the book?

No. I replied to it. Maybe don't argue the point and continue being wrong while you're "conceding" then if you expect me to take it seriously. Keep that smug shit to yourself especially when you're this off base, smugness is for the correct.

Listen pal,

Not your pal, guy.

I already told you that wasn't my intention,

"But then I doubled down."

but the existence of the game around Magic means there's a literal difference between that and all the other examples, for fuck's sake.

It doesn't make people who collect Magic cards any better. It just means their collection has a practical use in addition to display.

Makes it sound like you're saying those who play rather than simply collect are indeed better, "magic collecters who don't play are just as bad as those buying labubus" type shit. Your "dickhead" routine isn't helping that. Just saying, that's probably why you got those five downvotes you're crying about, if I had to guess. I mean, you did ask I'm just trying to help.

Sure, I'll believe it wasn't your intention and you're just a natural asshole, fine. That better sweetie?
