Quick poll question: Are you guys still trading your cards away like the game intended?

What’s the point of me writing things if you’re not going to read it? Cards are losing value more effectively now than they did before thanks to tons of reprints that we didn’t have before. The. End.

That’s correct as I have previously stated many times now :P Not that I expect everyone to read all of it because it is a tall wall of text. We used to be able to trade with each other. You could use old cards to trade for new. Now, not so much anymore. It’s still possible but not as much.

Correct. Officially. But life finds a way :P

Alright maybe amulets can add mana :P Could be the sample size is just so small and that they are suppose to be able to produce mana but we just haven’t seen it very much yet.

I have one more note :) If you want Usually amulets don’t produce mana in Magic. There’s only one and it’s 29 years old and it can only produce mana in an odd way.

Hold it right there mister :) Upon the day the card is originally opened there aren’t really much difference. The topic of discussion is what happens to the card price of your card over time when Secret Lairs reprints the card into oblivion. And this is where Wizards is digging into the...

Okay then 3/3 > 0/4

Wuhuuuuu The enemy-colored Filter lands in that old Odyssey style that we got from Fallout now have Universes Within versions from Thunder Junction!! https://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&order=released&q=%21%22Overflowing+Basin%22+include%3Aextras&unique=prints

You’re going a bit off topic there when you accidentally include Arena there. And the game isn’t actually cheaper because of Secret Lairs even though Wizards might want you to believe it. Let’s put it this way: Before you could trade your cards away because your cards had a higher value than...

Yes But if you want the cards cheaper because of Secret Lair reprints then you are taking money from the players of Magic who wish to trade away their cards to get new cards. And you put the money in the shareholders of Wizards of the Coast instead of George from the local game store. And if...

If that’s the case then you might as well keep it colorless and keep the flavor connection intact.

That makes you a collector. If you want to sell your cards or trade them away like you could before then you no longer get the value you want. So you have to pay pay and pay more. The game is not more cheap if that’s your belief. The money just goes to Wizards now instead of players who open...

No no no :) Stop with the evil investors :) Your logic applied in old times but not anymore. This is one of the issues with Magic. You cannot even trust that the cards you buy or open can help you stay in the game. Now you have to pay Wizards again because you can no longer (as well as before)...

You misunderstand No one is saying anything about ‘getting your money back’ But someone (that was you) said you would like the cards to be cheaper. I just added the fact that the people who will make the cards cheaper is the people who already bought packs or singles. It’s them who lose the...

@Onderzeeboot Sure. If you want to make it hybrid, you can do that. I didn’t think about mana rocks before you asked us to brainstorm. My initial idea was to keep the flavor connected to the original Chimil from Ixalan. Then I somehow added white mana and I regret this haha :) I personally...

You’re not doing that to this conversation :) The people who buy cards are NOT evil investors :) I repeat, it’s a zero sum. So if I want to have things more cheap, then others have to lose the same money. And it’s not Wizards losing the money. It’s people who opened Booster packs. I repeat, if...

But you always have to pay to play. Except if you can sell some cards and make money so you can keep playing without paying. But this goes away if your cards keep losing their value because Wizards want that money instead.

@Onderzeeboot Yeah okay, I understand. May I point out that it's not a Day of Judgment but a Planar Cleansing. Does this change your valuation? If you want it to be 4th pick then it probably has to cost either {3}{W}{W} or {4}{W}{W} or {3}{W}{W}. I would start with the 6 total and then maybe...

Don’t you think that could be related to the ability and cost of Unstable Obelisk and not a general rule per se?
