The thing that got me out of the magic fandom
Was them redesigning the website. Seriously. I read that every damn day for years, and when they changed the layout, I could not be assed to bother finding where the archives where or where the articles by some guy who had stopped writing a column that had been picked up by someone else a long time ago where, or whatever. So I stopped going. I gradually stopped caring at all. This also coincided with a massive shitting up of the whole WotC forums, which helped this along.
It was then that I realized, it wasn't the stuff they put in the packs making my addicted, it was subliminal messages in the website layout. People had led me to believe the addiction was something physical, and it was all a lie.

The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that it's not like YuGiOh in any way, where anything under $10 is complete shit, so you can't just THROW money at it to be good, you actually have to buy the good cards and get the common ones that don't suck to help you.
And strategy.
Either way, I like it due to that same reason as well. A $20 blue/green deck helped me beat a Grave Titan Zombie deck, which was cool.
Also, Selkies and Fairies. Love the art.
As for combat nerfing...I want to agree with you, and it pissed me the hell off when I first heard about it (although I'd basically already quit by that point), but to be honest damage-on-the-stack didn't make any flavour sense whatsoever.
@OP: Yeah, the new site design sucks balls. The shit with the forums is done now, though, and in actual fact they're less uptight than they were before the Gleemax shit. (You can upload your own avatars now!)
Worse, they fired all the non-american mods, and spread the remaining mods way to thin, so they would lock people or ban for almost nothing. One joker made a thread asking why people didn't use an extremely mediocre card, and for some reason this started a shitstorm. When a senior member seriously defended the original post as a good joke, he was banned for flamebaiting. He was later unbanned because everybody was making an even bigger shit storm about that. They also made it so the mods could have no contact with anyoneg at all. If a topic was violating the rules, they would post saying it was "under review", so nobody ever knew who or what was wrong. It sucked, and quite a few people left.
The networking site itself was a failure, and it eventually went down. I never went back to the forums, so I don't what happened after that.
I am sorry that a common red card made you quit.

@Gelzo: I wouldn't so certain. Burn.dec has been perpetually tier 2 in Legacy for some time now; something like this might actually go somewhere. Leyline does rape it, though, obviously. Of course, with no four-of rule, you could just run this instead (numbers chosen somewhat arbitrarily):
13 Plateau
39 Lightning Bolt
8 Disenchant
(Substitute Taiga and Naturalize for Plateau and Disenchant if you want.)
