  • Very, very bad in ~Magic: the Gathering~. It's gotten to the point where "Magic is dead!" has essentially become Memetic Mutation.
    • This is the reaction of many fans to every release of a new Magic the Gathering set. Even a single card, to many, can spell the doom of the game - witness the reactions to Tarmogoyf, Remand, and Umezawa's Jitte, to name a few prominent examples. Keep in mind that a new set is released every three months; that each year brings a new block (meaning cards from the previous block are no longer relevant in block-format tournaments or drafting); and that Wizards of the Coast has made a Banned/Restricted list for cards that break the game too hard. Even when Wizards brings back old cards, fans will decry some choices as being The End of MtG - even though they didn't break the game the first time around.

          • The game was very nearly ruined by Xyz Monsters due to a ruling that allowed profound abuse of a certain card. The price of this particular card shot to nearly $200. The mistake was noted, repealed and, ironically ruined the game for all those who had bought the cards instead.
