    Re: Abolish the Reserve List Petition

    You're also on a forum, and calling people names isn’t going to give you credibility or the ability to be taken seriously.

    Re: Abolish the Reserve List Petition

    You really shouldn't let it affect you - there are more important things in life to concern yourself with rather than being concerned about being called a "troll" on a Magic: the Gathering forum.

    Re: Abolish the Reserve List Petition

    One has to try - that's the purpose of the thread. Regardless of how many times it has been done before, who has done it, etc. If you want my honest opinion, I don't think the petition will do...

    Re: Abolish the Reserve List Petition

    So what you're insinuating is that there's no logistical cross-pollination of players between formats allowed? I fail to see how a theoretical unified policy on all formats (assuming Legacy and...

    Re: Abolish the Reserve List Petition

    In 2019, the Reserved List has nothing to do with Standard, or Modern, to any degree.

    The abolition of the Reserved List ideology isn't to satiate older players, it's to enable the influx of newer...

    Re: Abolish the Reserve List Petition

    Exactly. There's been this years-long belief that somehow it's only protected because collectors will sue. Claiming P.E. when it comes to cards that have existed since 1993 is not easy to prove in a...

    Re: Abolish the Reserve List Petition

    Lands are required to play Magic games - for the most part. They’re an essential part of optimal deck building. Duals are synonymous with Legacy and Vintage.

    Dropping ten or fifteen bucks a shock...

    Re: Abolish the Reserve List Petition

    Couldn't tell you. I guess it comes down to what people are willing to pay in a similar way to Modern and what their economic status is. I think a Legacy deck featuring multiple dual lands and...

    Re: Abolish the Reserve List Petition

    The baseline should, in theory, be predicated on the cost of dual lands and what would happen if they were reprinted. All of the other stuff is mainly fluff (I get it that stuff like Candelabra,...

    So, just so we’re clear: What exactly are you in favor of instead of belittling the efforts of others to entice change? Can you share?

    Re: Abolish the Reserve List Petition

    This move would be unprecedented. RL cards have been and already are tanking exponentially, if you’ve been following. If these hit unprecedented lows (which they have), in addition to this...

    Re: Abolish the Reserve List Petition

    Again, there's no way to know for sure what will happen. This is my entire point. It's fear-based, that's it. And showing a judge that proves nothing - those cards are always fluctuating.

    Re: Abolish the Reserve List Petition

    So, let's assume they abolish the R.L. and calculate preemptively loss versus gain. If money is the be-all, end-all, and they opt to abolish it, you don't think that would open the floodgates for...

    Re: Abolish the Reserve List Petition

    That's a good question. And that comes down to what the actual, quantifiable loss is for the collector. Let's say, for example, they abolish it and something like V.I. goes from 350 a card to 150 a...

    Re: Abolish the Reserve List Petition

    Can you prove that V.I. will be $50.00 a card? I could argue they would go up (counter-productive) based on history with Modern Masters, staples and the fact that a massive, MASSIVE influx of new...

    No it wouldn't, because people do not want to act proactively because they feel intimidated or plain lazy. I'm not dealing with that. Under no circumstances should these formats restrict people based...
