What I don't understand is why they're going after someone making proxies of the Power Nine. If he was making proxies of widely played cards in Standard, it would be a "duh" action, but the P9 exists only on the secondary market. I'm 99.99% certain Wizards doesn't have a huge warehouse somewhere with cases of Alpha in it, waiting to be re-released. I suppose that the reason they're doing it is because they want to dissuade people from making proxies of Standard cards by applying blanket C&D orders. That's still kinda lame though, considering cards in Standard are easy to get and never cost $300+ per card.

Part of it probably has something to do with Hasbro riding Wizards' ass. I have the suspicion that a lot of the changes we've seen in the past year, especially mythic rares, have been forced on Wizards by Hasbro in order to milk more money out of the product. Since we're now in a recession, Hasbro (as a luxury item retailer) has to be feeling the pinch, so they're going to try tying up as many loose ends as possible by resorting to game gimmicks and suing potential revenue leechers.

It's only a matter of time before MWS becomes a copyright infringement!

EDIT: Oh, and Bardo, thanks for the clarification.
