prettyflyforajeskai asked: Do you think we could see more cards taken off the reserve list in the future?
It’s definitely a possibility.
Yes! Power Nine!

How is that a bombshell? It's a vague maybe so he can't be held to a solid yes or no.
Well, at least he said that it is a possibility. Before that the reserved list was carved in stone for WotC. Progress!
Except it's been changed a bunch of times, as recently as 2012, and their stance on it has swayed back and forth a lot as well depending on who you asked and what mood they were in. It's never been carved in stone.
This isn't any kind of news I'm afraid, until they actually put some of that community speculation into action. As said before it's vague and non-committal. Positive message? Sure! Shows they are thinking about it. That's the extent of what we can take from it though.

Apparently, Tumblr misdirected an answer to the wrong question. Sadness.
Maro has said before that he has had to delete answers before because they gave away too much information by accident or too early. It is probably wishful thinking, but it is odd that it didn't happen to any other answers today. Normally when tumblr mismatches answers it does it to all of them for a time period, showing answers that have absolutely nothing to do with the question. Again probably wishful thinking, but a man can hope.

This is the most the Magic community has gotten him to say about the Reserved List, ever. Honestly this is the closest thing to victory lots of people will get when it comes to the Reserved List. Watch though the only thing they take off the Reserved List is something like Thunder Spirit.
It may be a bit of wishful thinking (correction: DEFINITELY wishful thinking) but maybe the one that made the mistake was MaRo 'cuz he said stuff too early. It has been a loong time IIRC since Tumblr derped him up and answered something wrong by accident.
Oh, and btw, today's article is about making mistakes.
I could see this being an intended false positive. MaRo or WOTC seeming to hint at the possibility of changes to the reserved list to gage the fan reaction, without any real plans in the pipeline. They then claim a mixup to avoid as much bad PR as they can if there is a negative reaction.

Thing is MaRo has stated openly that he doesn't agree with it and that if he could get rid of it he would. But he has state that he can't even talk about why he can't talk about the reserve list.
Also while im not going to archive bing, im fairly certain this isn't the first time tumblr goofed on a single answer before. And they don't need to guage for community reaction,they already know a reasonable amount of players want it gone, even huge secondary market sellers like StarCity Games.

It was just a mistake. If he released information he wasn't supposed to, he could have just deleted the post and moved on. He didn't need to draw more attention to it by answering the follow up question.

Except people already noticed. If he deleted without saying anything, people would think he leaked something he shouldn't have. Here he is telling us it was not the correct answer.
Except he explicitly did not deny it, either. His first answer, "It's a possibility," was open-ended, with neither a confirmed yes or no. His post about it said Tumblr sometimes sends his answers wrong, and apologizes, but he doesn't flat-out say that that's what happened this time. When he refuses to give a straight answer, especially when it's something that SHOULD have a straight answer, we have to wonder. He's been deliberately evasive on his wording too many times to assume anything he doesn't outright SAY. (And some of the things he does say, but I generally assume those are said in good faith and change after the fact.)

Cards are game pieces, and should be treated as such, easily replaceable.
Cards are not money, investments, or a retirement fund, and should never have been treated as such.
Wizards made a mistake caving to speculators once, and we still pay for that mistake 2 decades later.
