An increase in the price of select Magic: The Gathering<\/em> products will go into effect with the launch of Streets of New Capenna<\/em> and throughout the remainder of 2022, according to Wizards of the Coast<\/a>. <\/p>
The estimated 11-percent price hikes on MTG<\/em> products are scheduled to take place following the Hasbro profit and revenue growth that was revealed<\/a> in February. WotC, in conjunction with digital gaming segments, saw an increase of 42 percent in overall revenues during 2021, according to the report. A bulk of the MTG<\/em> price increases will take place later this year, highlighting an increase of around 11 percent. <\/p>
“Over the past year, the costs of goods, transportation, and manufacturing have increased significantly and steadily for just about everyone across nearly every industry,” WotC said<\/a>. “For Wizards of the Coast, this means that we’ve seen a large spike in the overall costs to produce Magic: The Gathering<\/em>. As such, we will be increasing prices by around 11 percent, allowing for regional variation, on select products in our lineup starting in September.”<\/p>
In addition to the SNC <\/em>Commander decks, price hikes will go into effect for premier sets like Unfinity <\/em>and Jumpstart<\/em>, along with Dominaria United<\/em>, which is scheduled to release<\/a> in the third quarter of 2022. The sets that are not getting an increase in cost are Masters<\/em>, Modern Horizons<\/em>, Secret Lair<\/em>, Challenger <\/em>decks, and Universes Beyond<\/em>. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
