Producing content you don't like isn't remotely close to "enshittification".

That's literally been their business model since the beginning, it just used to be that the content was Umezawa's Jitte or Chrome Mox and now it's Gandalf or Doctor Who.

The real pack sellers are power creeped cards, not the IP of that set.
