This is probably a three-step process:

1. Mishra's Bauble goes crazy high in price due to Modern play, so at least some people (myself included) look at Urza's Bauble and say, "Well, if I ever...

Yeah. People are forgetting that Ballista does not "die to removal." That is, even if you remove it, you can't reasonably stop the Ballista from unloading before it dies without burning another...

Yeah, Walking Ballista pretty much obsoletes Trike in eternal formats. Trike is bigger, sure, but the flexibility of having a colorless fireball on tap who plays super nice with Ravager and can even...

You know, it might just be that the people who complained about not having enough reprints are an entirely different subset of players than those who complain about too many reprints.

You only...

As someone who owns many cards that are getting devalued by reprints, I say, bring it on. This kind of aggressive policy helps make sure people can actually play. People still buy packs, which...

Remember how some of us keep saying: "Keep your shirt on, they'll reprint Reserve List effects without violating the List itself, it's all good. Calm down." ?



Now, can we please stop...

Don't play that deck until they make a functional replacement for Aluren. Baddaboom baddabing.

Yes, about ten years ago, five, tops.



Have you considered the possibility that Wizards is printing new cards that fulfill the same niches of old cards on the Reserve List without violating it?...

That's hyperbole. I agree that the Reserve List is a red herring, but Wizards is actively printing new cards to fix the problem. Stony Silence (Null Rod?) Spirit of the Labyrinth (Chains of Meph)?...

The Reserve List allows this, but I think you won't see something that close. They did this with Reverberate, and have since said it was a mistake. Specifically, Reverberate is just Fork, but it...

The article is useless because it suggests removing cards from the reserve list. Even the article itself acknowledges that the List will NOT be abolished, and removing most of the cards on it is...

Isn't that where the money should be, though? No one is unable to play Legacy for lack of Pimp.

Or, you know, we could look to the time in human history where people wielded more power individually than ever in the past, ate better, knew more, communicated better, lived longer, and were safer...

I have no idea why this is coming up in a thread about reprints, but Lord Seth here just touched on one my pet peeves: people waxing nostalgic about the old days where men were men and women lived to...

You're not wrong, but I don't like to use Reverberate as an example because of what Maro supposedly said about it:
...

Well, actually, the price matters if you're not buying and selling them, too. In that case, it increases the danger of theft or of someone shooting you to take your Magical Card Game.

Still with the Reserve List. As if any format depends for its life on the Reserve List! This is a bit of a cross-post from my discussion the The Drain, but it bears repeating: The Reserve List is a...

You know what? This guy is Part of the Problem, but nothing he said in that video was unreasonable at all. He was correct in his assumption that a buyout would drive a spike and people would be...

Well, it used to be that foreign cards were rare. Japanese, in particular. I don't know if that's true anymore. Here's my experience:

1. I like Chinese cards because I can typically get them...

This partly explains it.

I think the full explanation goes like this:

PLAYERS: "I'm either bored with the marquee constructed formats or priced out of it. I'd like to try a format that is...

I didn't miss any of that, Oh All Seeing Eye! I mentioned the interaction with legendary lands, and Eye in particular, and I mentioned the funny interactions with land-limiting cards like...

Cross-post incoming!

Speculators can and do lose money sometimes, and I bet whoever is trying the ol' pump and dump with Scorched Ruins is going to lose money after transaction and opportunity...

Ah, yes, no one should ever complain about anything. Look, not everyone started playing in the 90s. (DISCLAIMER: I did. I am not negatively affected by any of these spikes.) Each time these price...
