What is the average buy price for most cards? 50-70% of what they sell for. Most people trade in for other cards or product. These two facts actually drive down significantly the prices that stores...

1) death and taxes - wasteland and karakas got reprinted and sanctum prelate and recruiter of the guard are new toys and Thalia is a beating - teir1

2) Eldrazi - tier 1

3) Merfolk - tier 1.5

You can still play legacy at a different price point. You just can't play every deck.

My deck of choice is dead guy which most of you know is black white junk. With all the reprints, it's quite an...

It is true there is no crime in making cards more affordable. But how Wotc does it will make a difference.

I tried to push for a trade-in program. For example, if you had a revised Tundra you...

Magic the gathering is an investment compared to other games. It is one of the few games that cost so much money. Why on earth would you pay so much for a booster box if it
did not retain some...

Why would tabernacle be exempt? So the one card you paid a high price for is okay, but the rest is free game. I don't even own a tabernacle, but if the other reserved list cards are on block so is...

Here is another food for thought.

But what if Wizards printed every card 4x MTG for any set and sold it like the game Dominion for 40 bucks.

Would you pay 500 dollar a year for that product....

Try this as an experiment. Pay 500 dollars per year in standard. Than after the year give your cards away to a new player. I mean if your point is so valid, please try that out.

Standard cards are not completely worthless. All those Urza cards were once standard cards right? Once the secondary market crashes, so does Wotc as a game. Many of you forgot chronicles or were not...

In case it is not clear, I am not against reprints. The game needs reprints to survive. Responsible reprints are good for the game.

What I am against is cash grabs by Wotc and their shareholders....

If they phased out the reserve list in 5 years, no one would buy. Why would anyone buy any cards that were going off the reserved list? That does not give anyone time to sell. You would only be able...

Magic is not expensive. You can buy thousands of cards for like 20 bucks on ebay.

Modern and Legacy are expensive. These formats are earned through years of collecting. You have to pull your...

I am not sure you own that many cards that you paid a high price for. If you bought an underground sea for 200 dollars and it dropped to 20 dollars you would be mad.

If you are not mad, than...

Here is something interesting. I just paid 25 bucks on ebay for these commander sets.

You get a whopping 32 rares, 6 mythics and chase uncommons/commons in one pack.

In contrast when you pay...

I am a player like most of you and I don't own any sealed product. But I meet people at FNM all the time who buy 2-4 booster boxes just to complete their set. Just trying to point out to people that...

The game need reprints to survive, but I don't see the point in collecting complete sets if all of them trend towards 100 bucks over time. If fact in most cases it costs much more than 100 dollars to...

prices of mtg sets of good non-reserve list cards are dropping to historic lows and new sets are being printed to oblivion.

Has anyone noticed a semi-crash or softening in mtg prices.

Old sets...

Though this analogy has some merit. It is not exactly accurate. Compare Magic with other board games. With other board games, you really only pay once and maybe two or three times for some expansions...

Abolishing the reserve list won't stop counterfeiting. It would be naive to think so. They will just counterfeit something else. Any card that sell for 5 dollars and up is a candidate to be...

Solution to the reserved list:

Wotc could have a trade-in policy for reserve list cards:

Legacy player trades in Underground Sea
Wotc gives player 8 copies of Underground Sea with security...

The reserve list is the only thing keeping Wotc from printing everyone's collection of cards to oblivion. Every time they reprint a chase rare/mythic they are just stealing from you.
The only safe...

I tried searching with a random set like apocalypse. Vindicate dropped like a rock in price after the eternal masters reprint. Phyrexian Arena keeps getting reprinted. Whenever, I hear a player say...

New MTG sets from Return to Ravnica forward are being printed to Oblivion. I think MTG cards are headed towards the same end as 90's baseball cards.

Prices are high on old cards, which spawned...

1) The modern analysis might be correct. I can see Wotc lopping off older cards for newer ones over time just to make money. Greedy corporations!

2) I don't think that Wotc can eliminate some but...

dual land prices are actually dropping

Badlands,
Savannah,
Scrubland
etc..
have not moved in price.
