Hello, i'm not sure if i'm allowed to post this here (if not you can delete).
Recently a new petition to end the reserved list was created, if you agree please help and share.

This is stupid. If they were going to get rid of the reserve list they wouldve done so already.
I don't think it's necessarily going to happen either, but I don't see anything wrong with occasionally reminding them that a sizable (we assume) portion of the player base wants it to happen. I'm just wondering how this information is going to make it to WotC?
I think the biggest thing is the deep seeded emotional understanding that the right play is the right play regardless of outcomes. The ability to make a decision 5 straight times, lose 5 times because of it, and still make it the 6th time if it's the right play. - Jon Finkel
"Notions of chance and fate are the preoccupation of men engaged in rash undertakings."
Remember several years ago when they were going to end it? They were printing paper foils of cards on it? Then Hasbro legal decided they couldn't because it would lead to lawsuits they thought they'd lose?
Yeah. None of that has changed. It's not happening.
Is not hard to try
"Play-test cards" please. Proxy means something that a judge does in a tournament, and counterfeits are counterfeits. The way to go casually is "play-test card."

Basically this, WOTC doesn't like it, SCG (and I'm assuming other large retailers) doesn't like it, and the community doesn't like it (well at least a sizable chunk of it, there are those people that do like it for one reason or another), yet it still exists.
Reserved list is the best thing for collectors. After all, this is a collectible card game.
When you get a job then you can slowly buy your gems if you like.
I'm not sure why collectors even care, I don't imagine most collectors plan on selling anytime soon and the truly collectible things (Beta, English Legends, etc) are going to retain their value regardless of any reprint.
Speculators may but that comes with the territory of spec'ing cards.
Well written petition. Signed.
Like most petitions it probably won't do anything but I signed anyway.
Serious question: has anything on change.org ever resulted in something?
I own all of these "collectable" cards and I want this ridiculous policy to end. I want to play Legacy again with a decent base of players that can grow. Legacy is Magic.
The Reserved List is stupid.
Signed.
Seriously just reprint the cards with terrible artwork. Problem solved, collectors can continue hording the original art that are worth more and people who want to enter the format get the more affordable worse art versions of cards. Premium cards are going to remain premium regardless of the number of times that they are reprinted.
There are claims it has...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change.orgBut no, probably not.On October 1, 2011, Molly Katchpole, a "22 year old nanny with two jobs" in Washington D.C., started a petition on Change.org "asking Bank of America and their CEO Bryan Moynihan to drop its unexpected new $5/month banking fee" for debit card customers. Less than one month later, 300,000 signatures were collected. The petition was widely cited as a contributing cause for the bank formally announcing to drop the new banking fee. U.S. President Barack Obama signed the petition; U.S. Senator Dick Durbin, the Democratic senator from Illinois, responded to Bank of America and the petition on Twitter. It may have contributed to the U.S. Congress deciding to "look at legislation for out-of-control banking fees".
No matter how many people sign it's up to the policy holders to make a decision.
And that is the RL stays.
I don't remember that, because that didn't happen. First, they never gave any reason for it, so the idea that lawsuits would ensue is supposition (and what's even more supposition is that they'd lose said lawsuits). However, even if we accept that supposition, I believe Aaron Forsythe said that it was a decision Wizards of the Coast made, and that Hasbro had nothing to do with it.
This petition will do nothing, though. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Online petitions only accomplish one thing, and that is making money for the petition site. There might be times there will be a petition for something and it ended up happening, but in that case the petition was incidental.
