Standard (or any other format) would be better if they would also RESTRICT cards as well as ban certain cards. Some cards could be restricted to ONE copy. This would effectively ban it but potentially keep it around.
They did that back when Standard was created but ultimately all the top decks became centered around the restricted cards and they opted to just ban cards outright.
I imagine banning a card would still impact its price tag more than restricting it but it would be interesting to see how that would effect Bo1 formats in Arena.

Yep it is an ignored option that should be looked back into. The game is a lot different today from the last time it was used.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.
Margaret Thatcher: “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”
Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Martin Luther King Jr.: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Never bought from them but good for them, hope they stick to their guns on this one.

His points are spot on. Now we will see if he takes it the next step by refraining to buy and open this product on his channel for monetization clicks. Practice what you preach.
FWIW, the Professor just said he won't be buying any 30th Anniversary Edition, neither for himself or the channel. And I'd trust him far more than I trust Rudy.
Good for him then. Rudy is a sleazeball he would sell his mother if there was money in it.

WTH? I just logged on to order mine and it says "No Longer Available" even though the sale ends in "1 day, 21+ hours".
How is that possible? Aren't Secret Lairs supposed to be print to order within the sale window?
Was this one limited supply or something?
It's bad enough this is (was?) only available for 3 days
What a joke
I guess WoTC wants to limit how many consumer dollars they can syphon up easily for this product
What a pity and slap in the face
They should never do this. Very upset now. Why allow LGSs to buy up all the stock so they can corner the market and mark up the price?!
I thought the whole point of Secret Lairs was to replace limited print run products like FTV and Commander's Arsenal so players and collectors could actually have access to such box sets which were too easily and quickly sold out upon release day in the past!
This literally just went on sale today!
EPIC FAIL on WoTC's part!
Meanwhile, I still haven't even received the coin-flip Commander deck Secret Lair which I PAID FOR LAST DECEMBER!
WTF WoTC?! Where's my deck?!

A proclaimed "whale" stating they will not buy 30th anniversary edition proxies.
