Show like yugioh where the players have the stuff appear around them. Or more like pokemon there the man characters are acutally planeswalkers?

Honestly, they should wait and see the success of the WoW movie, in the big picture, we as fans of MTG are a tiny demographic.

If the WoW movie has further success than its own audience, then maybe approach an MTG idea. The expectations will be very high as fans for lore, but the general public will want something that's worth their time.

Hasbro doesn't want to waste $1 million dollars for a movie that won't generate past $200k in revenue

The manga for the original Yu-Gi-Oh! was awesome. The English anime was blah. They added a lot of stuff that wasn't in the manga.

You are correct, but you aren't accounting for how much advertising a movie generates for such a niche game. WoTC could easily afford a loss for the movie if they generate more than the loss in card sales (which will likely be more than one-time buyers).
