Legal with Masques doesn't mean it came out afterwards. Rather, 6th Edition came out the summer before Masques hit, after Saga block (and fundamentally made Morphling into Superman). If they stick to Masques+, then 6th Edition is ruled out of legality.
Not necessarily. It came out in the same year as Mercadian Masques, so feasibly the beginning point would be MM + 6th edition. It wouldn't make sense to skip two years ahead for the first legal core set.Quote:

So, assuming this new format is indeed true. That, having as their solution to the problem for legacy as the barrier for entrance is indeed high. Since they'll be supporting the format, as claimed by the original poster. We could imagine a pretty big turn out, however, the shock-lands that will be replacing the current dual lands, as well as the would be new staples. With such a high demand all the sudden for such cards, and card store's greed factoring in big time. Wouldn't the result remain the same?
If this is true (which I doubt), why would they choose the starting point to be MM?
Maybe because it's after the broken-ness of Urza block?
I would never play in this kind of format. No way, legacy is just great, many people play and there is no point of stopping it.
Hope WotC won't kill legacy.
Because that's when the Reserved List ends, maybe?Quote:

Aside from the fact that the OP had 1 post and isn't credible in the slightest, try this:
Legacy is on MTGO, Wizards could do an MTGO Legacy Pro Tour and "print" as many Force of Wills, USeas, Trops, etc as everyone needed (and they'd spend a boatload of cash too while they're at it) without breaking their Reserve List policy.
I honestly don't see why there can't be a Legacy PT or Legacy PTQ season. Saying "The prices and quantities just don't allow for it" without any quantitative analysis to back it up, is, and always will be, bullshit. Show some math before you start making claims.
haha! nice ;pQuote:

I'm not reading three pages of this when I called this a couple months ago.
Who's the man? Jeff's the man.
So mind's desire takes all?
If there is such a format, Mind's Desire will likely be banned. It was banned in Legacy and restricted in vintage before it was even released.
But that's the whole problem. Reprint the cards and the whole game collapses because no one can trust Wizards any more, so there is no point in owning cards, and people just play with proxies. If reprinting cards is not an option, at least when it comes to the Legacy staples, then this is the next best thing.Quote:

Heh, you weren't there when Wizards finished support of the Magic Encyclopedia all of the sudden, were you? It's far worse for the game having them not reprinting the cards than the other way around. It's the difference between having a game with players and having a game without them. And the problem only gets worse every year. Restricted availability is what will collapse the game, and not some reprints.Quote:

People realize that Wizards' motive is simple: to make as much money as possible, regardless of other things.Quote:
