Players are likely to cut back or take their money somewhere other than the Magic ecosystem and get the same value. Drafts cost $19 instead of $12? There's sure to be fewer people wiling to buy in (see Masters set drafts firing less often than Standard ones). If Magic costs go up significantly, people can go to hundreds of other options for cheap(er) fun. Any singular entertainment product has a lot of substitutes and thus demand will be price elastic. In real terms, wages have stagnated since the 90's, with the price of essentials going up, making it so the average worker has less to spend on non-essentials. My theory on why Magic packs, and similar entertainment products, haven't tracked with inflation is due to the heavy competition in the sector for a shrinking pool of disposable income.
