accidentally happened across this website again in spoiler season and never have I been so acutely reminded of why I quit this site in the first place.
i'd like to highlight the absurdity we're seeing in this thread by pointing out the following:
- nobody had seen this name before yesterday
- suddenly, apparently, preserving a totally arbitrary card name you all just learned about is worth maintaining the circumstantial and unfortunate link with a current global disaster in which millions of people are predicted to die, because (and this is the only reason anyone has given so far) "I don't care". good job guys. just, just fantastic work.
- apparently emergent bad word-associations like these simply don't exist, because "words have other meanings". Oh i'm sorry SWASTIKA, you were apparently unfairly pigeonholed because contextual associations aren't real. All is forgiven because language is apparently a totally static, fixed thing and words never develop new meaning for any reason to do with culture or society. OH WAIT . Again, masterful work developing a sense of perspective there, people.
What happened to being a half-decent human being without it needing to be considered some sort of 'agenda' or political conspiracy?
this'll be the last time I ever post on this website. Thanks but no thanks for reminding me why I decided to stop spending my time being drawn in and frustrated by socially-toxic borderline-psychotic "opinions" being yelled into the void because people feel the need to just spout their broken ideas instead of thinking about them for more than five seconds with any sort of clarity. Since leaving i've found the game to be more fulfilling, i've learnt more and become a better player, and I think generally my mental health has been better than ever without the intrusion of sociopathic nonsense in my internet routines.
One was offered on Cardmarket for €300... But it's gone now and strangely, they also removed the Death Corona image. A single Chinese one is up for €100 right now.
I note the three Japan-exclusive Godzilla Series cards are at €200 (the Egg) to €250 (the two others).
I think once the set has been released worldwide, the Death Corona card will become significantly cheaper than the three Japanese ones. The latter will remain in print but they are strongly limited geographically, whereas Death Corona will be available in the entire English first print run, which in my estimation should be significantly larger than the entire Japanese print run will ever be.
Either way, completing this set is going to be very intensive monetary-wise...
This is merely a hollow gesture for publicity on something which will have little meaning outside of the game once M21 and Zendikar III become the focal points of people's attention.
In fact they're allowing people to profit off it this because the original print will garner a much larger price value due to its scarcity than concentrating on the issue at hand. If WOTC/Hasbro is so concerned about the effects of the corona virus, then maybe they can donate a portion of sales of the product to vaccine research or support for those affected. That's better than a knee-jerk reaction with zero communal benefits as a result.

Thank you for expending digital and mental energy on focusing on my comment. It shows that responding to it has more value than attending to other activities in your life. So thank you again for that wonderful investment.

Oh I see... then I guess this is really a collector's item, since it was artificially made more rare by a limited print run.

I wonder how much each one of these would cost?

That could be the case
Because theres is infact a few that got printed before the emergency name change they mentioned this
This could easily be 3 figures due to how scarce the original name will be

Who are you again?
Anyway.

Would it help if they posted their name a second time at the bottom of every post?

Maybe. It seems to be making people pay attention.
