Heh yeah, its like the linux meme, where we got everyone using operating system that can't even play games haha CLASSIC. Honestly the rules of mtg are open source and that's why hearthstone yugioh pokemon netrunner can get away with stealing mtg's rules. So what's so bad about using cards that just happened to not be produced by WotC? Frankly WotC's business model is unethical and should have the same regulations as casinos. It might have been revolutionary in how it avoided card price bubbles but they sure didn't adapt to the times. Go see for yourself what a pitiful state mtgo is in. The game itself is pretty fun... I just wish wotc would go bankrupt though. I can't believe there isn't a hell. | ||

I just wish wotc would go bankrupt though. I can't believe there isn't a hell. I don't really want to get into this, because there is definitely an issue with pricing in formats I love (due to the reserved list). Also, modern is starting to get out of control. However, what I love about the game (being able to play in regular, semi-competitive pick-up tournaments pretty much anywhere anytime) is largely enabled by a strong secondary market. Counterfitting hurts that. | ||

Counterfitting hurts that. I second this sentiment. Wizards of the Coast has no control of the secondary market. A card costing X dollars is at the whim of the players and the stores, not Wizards of the Coast. As such, any counterfeiting does nothing but hurts players and stores and does nothing to Wizards of the Coast. | ||

The best common in Standard isnt going to cost $60 While Wizards indeed has no control over the secondary market they do have some control over the supply side. | ||

Wizards can only flood the market as much as there's demand. They sell to stores who sells it to us. If you think the stores need to buy more boxes from wizards, then players need to buy from stores more. | ||

No my point was that Wizards could have upped the chance of getting a Jace or Hangerback in a booster which would have increased supply and reduced prices. | ||

The availability of a card is controlled as to not affect draft. Hangerback walker would break the draft format if it were an uncommon (for example) What drives prices up more than anything is demand. Loot at the costs of Serum Visions for example. Or the price difference between Volcanic Island and Badlands. In fact, both Jace and Hangerback were considered bad cards in early previews and even Wizards spent more energy talking about Lili and Nissa than they did Jace which they mostly said "Hey look! its a Looter!" So its not like they could have predicted the demand of any given card. Whether it be Jace, any other card they print. Hindsight is hindsight for a reason. | ||

Haven't really had time to fix up my deck for the new standard, but it's going to have Seige Rhino in it, because I love that card. still waiting on my bfz box delivery, I just don't want to play any rhinos, jaces, or hangarbacks. #hipster | ||

Thats pretty good to open. And you realize an expedition is in app. 1 out of 6 display, do you? You opened the most valuable card in Gideon and Drana which will be a force in standard as well. Say day indeed.. o_O | ||
