Excellent point.
Where would you be without it? Would you develop your own imagination to such a point?
Did the quick-sell imaginatory world (D&D, MTG, Harry Potter...) hurt your imagination by forcing the made up world by somebody else upon you, or did it acctually start it off, by giving you the needed push beyond the border of reality and imagination?

I personally was always in my own little world being an only child you live in your own little world anyways
D&D just helped fuel my creative drive to make worlds and populate those worlds with heroes, villians and monsters and then play as those heroes or villians and if your the DM the monsters.
Anyways I don't consider any form of writing hurting your imaginiation by giving it borders. When you think up new and interesting ideas that is never a bad thing and anything that helps the better.
I'm not sure about MTG using too much of your imagination though. That is more of a mathmatical problem type of game. IMO
