    I will never understand PLAYERS who want to keep the Reserved List. Investors sure, but investors who don't play....hose them, by all means. the game doesn't need them. it's not about demanding things dirt cheap, it's about wanting access. Look at Imperial Recruiter, the original dropped what, $20? I don't need ABU duals, Power, etc. Would it be nice? sure! but if they were reprinted, if anything the originals would gain value because more people would come play Legacy if fetches and duals were about the same price, and some would want the classics. Look, Karn Liberated is the most expensive card i own, i have my Tron playset. I would LOVE to see him in Standard again. I would love to see KL as a $15 card, because not only could I get one more for EDH, but the 3 people at my LGS trying budget substitutes for him that leave them with no chance would be able to roll with me. I'd love to see the Elfball player be able to afford Karn, I love the Tron mirror, I'd love to see more people running it. I'm never selling my set, I don't CARE what TCG says it's worth, I pick up cards to play the game.



    I bet you that the people that made the game and a lot of people close to them have a lot of original product and that is why the reserve list will never be rescinded. There would be nothing in it for them really.

    This does sound ridiculous, but it might save them a lot of money to go entirely digital and forego the cost of printing and distribution.

    What is going on with this set?? This is terrible. I hope this isn't real.

    The store owner is too lazy to reap a profit by just putting in the hard work and remaining vigilant. I wouldn't spend money in there anymore. Find a place that treats you with respect.

    I will predict no bans and no unbans in Modern. Birthing Pod just won Grand Prix Omaha. I play a lot of Modern and from what I can tell Treasure Cruise *finally* made Delver a real deck. The people claiming that the card has warped the format sound absolutely absurd and resistant to change. Treasure Cruise has changed some of the dynamics of the format, that's what is supposed to happen once in a while.


    It has warped the metagame completely and any claim otherwise is insane. Im going to assume you saw the top 8 of GP Omaha, you saw almost every deck was packing Chalice/GY hate or some form of hate for Delver so much so that most of the top decks in the format are either aiming to generate too much value for Delver to deal with or to do unfair things like Through the Breach or Scapeshift. It has also further bury multiple decks and cards that used to see play in the format. When a format becomes Delver, Pod and everything else, there is a problem. But because the format was balanced before Cruise, its easier to believe in a future where with less Delver, Pod's levels decrease in response to the increase in Twin, Scapeshift and other decks that used to police it.

    Its not about being resistant to change, its about disliking the change that was brought to them. Changing the entire format for the worse is not a good thing. Changing the entire format for the BETTER is a good thing.


    The format hasn't changed for the worse. See, this is the resistance to change I was talking about. Delver put up 2 copies in the top eight. I don't even see Treasure Cruise in any of the other top decks playing blue, let alone the feared Dig Through Time, which some have claimed is just as broken. And buddy, your beloved pet Birthing Pod won, what a laugh, get outta here.
