Much like the Pirate Code, the new Commander suggestions for MtG are merely guidelines. They aren’t law. Play the game how you like. Run events in your store the way you want.

My girlfriend told me this morning that she was thinking about paying $9.99 to continue her Duolingo streak because she forgot to do it yesterday. I wondered if anything was sacred anymore and became more cynical towards streak proclamations. As a capitalist, I did grin at that little profit owl.

I’ll never cease being amazed when I look at picture from a game store retailer that doesn’t charge for using their game library and it contains copies of games they don’t have for sale.

I can’t accurately describe exactly how I feel when someone says “it’s on Discord, just go there” but it’s similar to walking on a nice fall day and getting a waft of cigarette butts on a wet garbage can.

Tabletop Game Industry Distribution - I have lots of friends that work in this tier. They do a really good job of shipping product to my store in a timely manner based on what I order.
Their value falls down for me as very rarely do they have new release product available after my preorders.

It’s becoming more and more apparent that Facebook sucks. It just doesn’t do what I need it to in providing me the information in a concise and effective manner. I’ll be over here now.

Publishers moving to a direct to consumer model for board games has made the work of retail stores selling games harder than before. I'm a free market guy. Get into whatever you feel is going to make your business more successful. Just realize you may end up the only sales outlet for your games.
