I responded to Gavin in a lengthy email, but the crux of it is that the theme (whether draft archetypes or flavour) should not override the need for staples coming back (such as Scapeshift and fetchlands) and that I sincerely hope Modern Masters comes back with alternating themes in off-years or summer releases.

Courier7 posted a message on Is pauper going to be the next big format?Posted in: Magic GeneralQuote from Mig2014 »
Are they doing it because Pauper is hot at the moment, or are they trying hard to make it look hot at the moment? I don’t know. All I know is this was all done at the same time pauper cards were spiking like crazy.
Probably both. The real question is this: is Pauper being hot right now a bad thing? I would say that the answer is "no"--it gets people to tournaments, it generates interest in cards or sets people might not have looked at before, people enjoy playing it, etc. The fact that some people are going to make money in the secondary market because of Pauper's current popularity is irrelevant--some people are *always* going to make money in the secondary market regardless of what is going on. -

TBuzzsaw posted a message on plainswalkers is imbalanced againstr white manaUh what? Nothing like that exist with any Jace planeswalker card not to mention Jace doesn't have any cards where he attacks.Posted in: Magic General
EDIT: I think I see what the confusion is. You're thinking of the mechanic plains walk, which gives creatures the ability to be unblockable if the opponent controls a plains. That has nothing to do with a PLANESWALKER, which is a type of card and not a mechanic. And just so you're aware, plains walk does not effect lands that produce white mana, just the ones marked plains like a basic plains or something like Temple Garden that says it's a plains.
Sorry if this sounds mean, but this is the weirdest confusion of a card I have ever seen.

MSRP is a guiding light that empowers consumers with knowledge of what the manufacturer suggests the price should be. Stores can charge more or less but we are armed with the ideal price and thus can assess if something is under or over priced. Without MSRP, we do not have that guiding light, which makes the process of deducing if something is fairly priced or not more difficult. It means we the consumer must do research before we purchase a product to know if we are getting ripped off or not.
The lack of MSRP also hurts stores who are not as heavily versed in the arcane ways of Magic. Instead being able to simply put an item up and sell if for the listed price, they too need to do research and determine what a fair price is for something. Charge too much and no one will buy from you, charge too little and you are missing out on profits.
And the lack of MSRP does not affect us much right now but going forward, WotC will likely obfuscate what the price of a product is to the consumer by offering new and different products. I remember when Heroclix first came out with their really big miniatures (action figure-sized miniatures). They did not have an MSRP and they were a completely new product. No one had any real context on how much the boxes should cost. Some stores charged a lot, some stores charged a little. It was all over the place. The market eventually found an equilibrium but not before some people wound up paying vastly more than others (I was one of those who was over charged. My FLGS owner actually gave me store credit when he found out how much more he charged me than his competitors).
I do not worry about the loss of MSRP that much but to say it has little bearing on the market going forward is a little silly.

MSRP does not exist any more, so stores can charge whatever they think they can for all of the products.
The Red Deck will sell better than the White Deck. Stores are forced to buy boxes with an equal number of decks in them. The best way to efficiently sell everything is to charge less for the less popular decks and charge more for the more popular decks.

Why though? Why not make these the cool time stamped Planeswalker cards from WAR's Pre-Release?
