Link to the Official Reserved List?

[nevilshute]

It might just be my feeble google skills or it might just be wotc's famous ineptitude at running a website, but I can't find an updated list (or any list, really) of the reserved list. Google gives me this link: http://magic.wizards.com/go/magazine.../reprintpolicy

In google it reads as "Official Reprint Policy : Daily MTG : Magic: The Gathering" but as you can see it's a dead end.

I can find a list on mtg-wiki but I'm looking for the official wotc list which, surely, must be there. Anyone able to help?

The link has been down for quite some time.

That said it exists as an archive on the mtg site, which is probably fine since it isn't subject to updates.

On Google the link above looks to take you to an archive page, but instead it dead-ends.

Feels a bit unsettling to not be able to find any official list anywhere.

I wonder why this is not posted on their official site.

It's a known issue, they migrated servers, and as a result a bunch of older pages got disconnected, RL among them. They've tweeted about it in the past, it's in a thread on the Source here somewhere. So no larger conspiracy than usual guys.

Except they also announced conspiracy 2 today, so there is a way larger conspiracy than normal...

I keep thinking there is an option in Gatherer to extract the reserved list.

blocked at work or I would double check.

Some search engines have it but Gatherer is not one if them.

I don't know much about the Reserved List but I'm curious about one thing. I heard they modified it once (or maybe twice) in the past already. What was their reasoning, and how do we know they won't be changing it again? It seems a bit ridiculous to me to have a list of cards that you promise never to reprint if you can just change the list at any time. Sounds almost too much like a loophole.

Scroll up a bit on the previous wiki page to here: http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/Reserved_List#History

tl;dr - the two major revisions were 2002 (Masques) when the decided nothing new was going on the list and 2010 when they removed the "foil loophole" that allowed them to reprint cards like Mox Diamond as foils.

As far as I understand, the RL has only ever been modified to make it more restrictive, not less.

No, they've actually removed some cards from it. For example, Clone used to be on it; it was taken off when they took all non-Rares from Alpha off in 2002 or so.

EDIT: Here's the link of them announcing this change:
http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles...icy-2002-07-19

"Commons and uncommons from Limited Edition (Alpha and Beta) were removed from the reserved list due to overwhelming public support for this change."

Of course, at the same time they removed those, they added on a bunch of Rares from earlier sets, so it got harsher while it also got more lenient... but the fact remains, they straight up removed cards from the list.

Ah, that's what I was looking for, thanks!
