Does MTG make more money from drafts or card sales?

Card sales, no contest. Think about it; every draft needs cards, but not every card sold is used for drafting. Plus, the collector's market is HUGE. Those rare and mythic editions aren't just sitting in binders; they're making bank.

Honestly, it's tough to give a straight answer without seeing Wizards of the Coast's books, but we can make some educated guesses. Card sales, especially booster packs and special editions, likely bring in a huge chunk of revenue. These are consistent sales that happen year-round. Drafts, on the other hand, are popular events that also require purchasing packs, but the frequency and participation can vary. My bet? Card sales probably edge out just because of their constant demand and the premium prices of certain special editions.

Drafts might seem like a big deal, but you gotta remember the sheer volume of card sales happening every day worldwide. From your everyday player picking up a new Commander deck to collectors hunting down that elusive foil, the money's in the cards.

It's all about the cards! Drafts are fun, but collecting is where it's at.
