Is WOTC Leaving LGS Behind?

Is Wizards of the Coast leaving local game stores behind? This week on **Commander’s Pod**, Duncan and Jeff dive into the growing frustration surrounding Magic: The Gathering product shortages, delayed releases, and Secret Lair sales that seem to sell out before everyday players even get a chance. Why do major retailers like Walmart, Target, and Micro Center appear to have products available on release day while local game stores are left waiting? Are bots and scalpers taking advantage of limited Secret Lair drops, and is Wizards doing enough to protect the players and independent stores that support the Commander community? We're talking questionable distribution priorities, inflated prices, collector booster shortages, and what Wizards needs to do to rebuild customer trust.#MTG #MagicTheGathering #Commander #EDH #WizardsOfTheCoast #SecretLair #SupportYourLGS #LocalGameStore #MTGShortages #Scalpers #Bots #MicroCenter #Walmart #Target #RealityFracture #CollectorBoosters #MTGDistribution #CommanderPodcast #MTGCommunity #CommandersPodSupport the Pod:Patreon: https://patreon.com/Commanderspod?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan&utm_content=join_link Website: https://commanderspod.comEmail: cast@commanderspod.com
