Yeah I made this point repeatedly and I feel it's been overlooked but Wizards doesn't just have to analyze the risk v reward of breaking the RL at all vs. never, but of breaking it now vs later.
...

Even in a three color deck, if you have one proper dual of each color pair, it feels like you’re not actually going to lose many games if the rest are shocklands. I don’t really know where that falls...

I think it again needs to be emphasized that Magic the Gathering makes over a billion dollars in revenue annually. Yes the individual prices of old RL cards on the secondary market can be staggering,...

No it doesn't. De Beers is hyping diamonds so it can sell diamonds generically, the types of diamonds it displays in commercials are actually usually way bigger than the diamonds it actually sells...

Like even if you think an Underground Sea isn't a luxury good, which is wrong, surely you have to recognize that Beta and even Unlimited ones are, right? There's no extra utility over an HP Revised...

You need it demonstrated to you that a $500,000 piece of cardboard is a luxury good

Okay buddy pal



Irrelevant

Like it's probably worth talking about the archetypical example, which is the diamond market. You can go read an article on it but the basic thing is that diamonds aren't, in the modern era and ever...

This is just begging the question since the entire point is that it does have something to do with the reserved list. You just want to be able to assert that it doesn't as a prior, probably because...

You dips know that luxury goods do exist and are driven by careful brand management and artificial scarcity, right? Like that's just. The material reality of the world. People really do pay $50k or...

So I mean if you don't understand luxury marketing/economics, okay, that's not surprising really it's a weird and confusing niche of an already dumb and dismal science. You don't understand why...

So then. Whether they want to keep Legacy accessible is, by your own description, directly relevant to whether they want to reprint duals, or near-duals or whatever.

So the opposite of what yous...

Some of y’all just refuse to understand basic economics.

“If one Modern Horizons set makes Wizards money, then they should release ten Modern Horizons sets every year! They’ll make ten times as...

Throw out a number then.



No I didn't but we've established that you can't read so this claim isn't surprising.



No I didn't but we've established that you can't read so this claim isn't...

What the fuck are you talking about? How is whether Wizards wants Legacy to be more accessible not important to the question of whether they'll print near-duals in general, much less ones...

It's funny because what actually happened was that I outlined in painstaking detail, including actual data, why reprinting the duals wouldn't actually make Wizards that much money.

I guess I "have...

What do you imagine that evidence would look like?



Uh what

Do you realize how many unspoken assumptions you've packed into this or nah

Besides which this is also like, again, what would...

I'm getting a little tired of you saying I said things I didn't say, but I'm going to chalk it up to poor reading comprehension rather than malice.

The evidence I have that they don't care very...

I thought it was a discussion about whether we think Wizards will ever again print dual lands that are better than shocks

And like, again, and I know you'll just keep ignoring this question, but...

Historic is Arena's "eternal" format. Fetchlands aren't banned for power reasons, at least not power reasons as it relates to mana fixing. The problems fetchlands introduce to the game are unintended...

+this

Including fetchlands just being absolutely terrible for the game. I find them being banned in Historic a promising sign but yeah then they went ahead and reprinted them in MH2 so, not 100%...

See this guy knows what's up



You seem to be incapable of not strawmanning people, or at least incapable of understanding how numbers work. Legacy players don't buy new cards in the same...

Like just rename the thread “Design duals that skirt but don’t break the reserve list” if that’s the only thing you’re interested in. Because instead you asked a question you seem to really not want...

Yeah I never asked that question a first time and I’ve spent honestly way too much time explaining in painful detail why Wizards has no incentive to do the thing you’re imagining. It’s obvious to me...

I am really fucking confused as to what you want at this point, much less what you think Wizards would plausibly do

If they want to get around the reserved list without breaking the reserved list-...
