If 8 years had gone by with no loss in pouplarity for Legacy, I would agree. But we've definitely seen a decrease of popularity for Legacy over those 8 years, or at least the last 4. On a local level...

The sets only having "player value" has been true starting with Mercadian Masques, which they stopped including cards on the Reserved List. Somehow, despite absolutely no guarantee their cards would...

Why was Chaos Orb $200 to begin with? The card is banned everywhere.

It's true changing colors doesn't change CMC. But it doesn't say "converted mana cost." It says "mana cost." 2R is a different mana cost than 2U.

If you swap out Fork for Reverberate, 99.999999%...

The problem with Chronicles wasn't Chronicles itself. It's that they overprinted it to such an extent.


I actually liked having the Pro Tour be Modern. Made me more interested in trying to get to...

No, it's mostly Suicide Zoo. There also seem to be a few Junk decks running a couple of copies, I guess because LSV did in the World Championship.

For whatever it's worth, they apparently regard Reverberate as a mistake and don't plan to do things like that again, so citing it as an example of their willingness to break the list seems a bit off.

I don't know, I thought Innistrad (the first one) did a great job in this department. Though to be fair, that was also 5 years ago and the whole thing got kind of screwed over by Avacyn Restored, but...

Yeah, the gag is probably lost on someone who understands German. If you didn't know, that's a scene from the movie Downfall, and a common joke on the Internet is to take it and put fake subtitles on...

Oh no! They could have been warriors! Well, I feel so bad that instead of killing people, these players are... not killing people. I'm not sure exactly what the point of being an adventurer is...

You know, a friend of mine said he's surprised that an organized crime group hasn't tried to hit up a Grand Prix like that yet.

Or just getting into a cheaper card game. One of the big selling points of Force of Will (the TCG, not the card) is the fact that it's very similar to Magic but the price of entry is substantially...

I wouldn't necessarily trust everything that person said. It's true they called the Splinter Twin ban and Eternal Masters, but they got some things noticeably wrong. They claimed Amulet of Vigor...

Yu-Gi-Oh only does that because they don't have any rotating formats (e.g. Standard) to drive sales of new product. In fact, I think Yu-Gi-Oh is the only major TCG that doesn't have a major rotating...

What do you know, when you decide to ban a deck that's a reasonable part of the metagame and strongly encourages interaction, you end up with... a lot of uninteractive decks.

It's almost like they...

I notice that the original one seems to have noticeably better coloring.

The broad statements were about giving equal color fixing. Having only the allied fetchlands in Khans block still works because the enemy painlands are also in Standard.

The funny thing is, they did exactly that with Thoughtseize. The card was at about $70, then got a reprint in a Standard set with a huge print run (Theros had the highest print run of any Standard...

Don't think Dig Through Time will be particularly great in Spiral Tide because of its anti-synergy with Time Spiral; the deck wants cards to stay in the graveyard so Time Spiral can return them to...

Khans likely will be the next best-selling set of all time. However, we need to remember that, like Return to Ravnica, a big part of that is the game is growing in popularity, not just the set...

Thing is, the fetchlands are played in more formats than the shocklands, and are also played more in those formats than the shocklands. Fetchlands see more play in Modern than the shocklands do, and...

Well, its first reprint was in 10th Edition, not M10. It looks like it was around $16 at that time, though.

The Magic 2010 reprint was when it crashed from around $14 to less than $5.

Thanks...

But Thoughtseize came after. As I stated, I wanted to know the most expensive ones reprinted before the shocklands.

So here's a bit of a question about reprints, and I'm wondering if anyone knows it.

Prior to the shocklands in Return to Ravnica, what were the most expensive cards to be reprinted into Standard?...

Except they (well, Tom LaPille anyway) noted that it was odd that Modern was starting out without the allied fetchlands and indicated that this would be changed at some point in the future. As you...
