If Microsoft bought Mojang, would they ruin it like they did with RARE?

MS never ruined Rare, all of Rare's talent left before MS bought them. It's the reason Nintendo didn't want to keep them.

With that clarified, I don't know how MS could ruin a company that made one game. The game itself is mostly a sandbox of tools that users use to make their own fun. It's not like Minecraft has great graphics, music or story. It's just a great initial concept. I would expect MS to make Minecraft 2 with perhaps better graphics and more tools, etc, and possibly make a bunch of money off it.

No, the founders of Rare quit in 2007 and all the other good/original people at Rare were fired and the rest quit in 2010 and 2012. MS bought them YEARS before that in 2002.

Rare's creative staff began leaving in 1998, starting with Martin Hollis:
