Actually you're not really correct on this, if you pay attention to the fine print, terms, etc on anything like membership cards, discount programs, it ALWAYS says something along the lines of " (Business Name) reserves the right to change the terms of this offer at any time without warning, including but not limited to etc etc etc termination of this offer." Which means for example using your example by paying the $10 for the discount program you agreed to the terms set about and if the business cancelled it the next week you're SoL.

Well, WotC did not provide any such fine print at the time that they issued the RL. In fact, they bent over backwards to communicate that this was a "forever" thing.

They did that because they had major consumer trust issues following Chronicles / 4th Edition. Building an escape clause like that into the RL would have undermined the purpose of it.

So basically, WotC created this problem for themselves. (See also: the D&D 3rd Ed. OGL.) It sucks for WotC, it sucks for the vast majority of players, but they can't really do anything about it now.

I am quite aware of the circumstances that lead to the reserved list, but there also was never any formal agreement, and verbal agreements and non binding written agreements are pretty much moot point. Especially when you have a multibillion dollar conglomerate vs a bunch of po'd consumers. Hasbro and WoTC can pretty much do whatever they want with the reserved list. Now it is decent of them to continue to honor it but in reality they could go as far as doing a full reprint run of ABU and there's nothing anyone could legally do to them about it.

Wait, so only 5 of the Priceless Treasures will be findable in BFZ (the new lands), and the others are in set 2? I'm confused.

25 will be findable in BFZ, the new dual lands, full set of shocks and full set of fetches. Then there will be another 20 cards in the next set.

I'm guessing that 10 of those will be manlands (enemy manlands will be normal rares in the small set) but I wonder what the other 10 will be in 'Sweat'?

Honestly, I'd rather they reprinted the Tempest pain lands (Caldera Lake and pals.)

But they're really bad:
- worst than painlands;
- worst than gainlands;
- worst than TAPlands.
So, please no.

Is anyone else really fed up with Wizards making all of these fancy bomby cards that self exile themselves?

Honestly what's the point? So someone doesn't cast it again, in the chance they do it the first time? Honestly, ot seems less abusible than Warp World, which can be returned from the graveyard and doesn't self exile.

I wish they would do an article on this because I am confused what their logic is.

The "self-exiling" effect is the way spells are described by lore. It basically tells us that by lore, the spell is so powerful/unique it doesn't even leave any trace of it being cast like common spells in the multiverse. Think about it. Snapcaster Mage picks up on spells that are still hanging around because they are common spells leaving behind what I would call "a trace", like a scent of the spell being left behind. A spell that exiles itself however just shows that the spell is rare/unique in effects and even powerful mages like Snapcaster can't grab onto it's "AEther Scent". That's how I've always thought of it.
