Quote from SpeedGrapher »Quote from DJK3654 »Quote from SpeedGrapher » No there aren't enough players. That's the thing that wizards doesn't get. Attendance is going down. A lot of people have moved on to cheaper hobbies. Do you seriously think WotC knows less about attendance numbers than you, a random person on the internet? Because, no. Maybe attendance numbers will be a problem- I don't know, I haven't looked at the data- but if they do, it won't be because WotC is making this decision in ignorance of attendance numbers. Yes I do know more about attendance numbers than Wizards of the Coast. I know more about Magic The Gathering than employees at Wizards. There are huge areas of low attendance around me. I've seen the player base decline for years. Return to Ravnica was the player pool height and it's been dropping since then. That's why they printed Ravnica 3 and are going to print Zendikar 3. Again, yes, I do know more about magic than Wizards does.

Quote from SpeedGrapher »Quote from ed06288 »Isn't Fabled Passage gonna see heavy play? And that's sorta a fetchland. I was hoping the format wouldn't have heavy shuffling effects. Now it feels like a way to rotate out khans fetchlands or something, i don't know. Do we even have enough players for this format? It's hard enough to fire modern sometimes.

Quote from user-11102155 »reprints of beloved un-cards ? was there ever any un card beloved or is it just a poor excuse for "sorry, we had to cut down developement cost, so we wanna make money with reprints, you will probably just buy it for the lands anyways" ?
It’s actually called “Mystery Booster”.
Quote from Marl Karx »I wonder if they just considered going full circle and bringing back Lord instead.
Quote from SpeedGrapher » A little unsure as to these being premade decks. Boosters would have been fine. Then again rarity doesn't make much sense for non-tournament playable cards Makes it easier to get all of the cards.
We were looking for a fun boxed experience. Unstable sold very well. We’d never reprinted any silver bordered cards. It just seemed like a cool product to make. Its existence doesn’t prevent the possibility of another Un-booster product. In fact, it’s success would only help such a product’s chances.
The idea is a product that you don’t know what it is until you open it up. The mystery is a feature of the product.
Quote from SpeedGrapher »Quote from SavannahLion »Quote from grid_monitor »what we want is silver bordered , non - legal , VINTAGE pre-constructed decks . But... but... what about the reserv.... Yeah, I got nothing. Silver border cards are fairly steadfast in the realm of unset territory. We're more likely to see Blacker Lotus or something g really goofy like White Lotus but non-legal versions of Vintage legal cards? Might as well print gold borders again. I'd also like silver bordered or gold bordered reserve list cards. It would be great. Or people will just keep buying the fakes online. Underground sea for about $3 is super appealing to a lot of people. Getting that silver bordered Wizards official also for $3 would be nice. Unsets are fun, I've played a bunch of them. It's fun for a weekend or two.

Quote from Anachronity »Quote from italofoca »Imo it's unfair some strategies in the colors gets a better landbase them others. It's needless constraint.I agree with this. Most land cycles are symmetrical in their constraints. If they aren't then it has a weird side effect of telling players what colors or strategies they're allowed to play right from the manabase, rather than as a result of what other cards are in the format's pool.

Quote from user_938036 »Twenty is a lot, other go to numbers would be 15 because 5 and 14 as double the starting hand size. Though it's really hard to evaluate as this is technically difficult for the opponent to disrupt and some cards let you draw a lot.
