@lorty if they want women to play, they need to step up their harassment response. They need to run events geared towards women. They need to reach out to disenfranchised groups and make them welcome.
Women don't not play magic because the cards are uninteresting, they don't play magic because they don't feel welcome or valued

Right on all accounts. I will say however that, compared to all other cardgame communities I've been part of, MTG seems to be the one with the most women actually playing. I can't say if it's something magic or WotC does different from the others or not I can't say.
