Rumor (as well as numerous tweets) had it, WotC isn't going to reprint duals etc. for legal issues.
A card dropping in value because it hits the banlist ist just part of the game. It's not like WotC would go "LOLOL value-b-gone" on the dealers all of a sudden; it's just a vital part of the game. I don't agree with baning Survival but I think your explanation, DragonFireheart, is flawed.
The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
1. Discuss the unbanning ofLand TaxEarthcraft.
2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
4. Stifle Standstill.
5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).
@FieryBalrog
Exactly, it is a bad policy. However, it's hypocritical to support the reserve list, citing protecting collection values and investments, but also ban expensive cards (like Survival) which would directly cause the price to drop and people to lose their investment.
Or you might just call it a trade-off.
Those card's "value" is dependant on people supporting the game therefor WotC has to be careful about pleasing dealers/collectors as well as players. Although I also disagree with baning Survival I really think it's wrong to actually call such a move "hypocritical".
