I didn't say legal action would be successful (I doubt any would), but fighting legal battles on numerous fronts is still extremely costly for large companies like Habro.

Splashed Zimone in BR treasures just because I could.

Dude that's awesome, it's also why I know you're a dude, because there's no woman who would be capable of doing that.

You're still probably the best magic player on the forum, at least drafting wise, so take the win.

Which is funny because the reason they'd bust the reprint list would be because Hasbro, the parent company, was in dire financial straits. As long is the game is healthy there's no other reason. If they get got a real boner for the idea they could formally add them to Arena. MTGO got them all years ago of course.

You just spent more time thinking about my gender than I do in any given month.

Hey Magic, can we get more balance to the game and maybe unban the reserve list?

Magic: best I can do is
We have consultants running around like ambulence chasing lawyers, to find some insane interpretation nobody complained about. It's just grifting.

I think I'm officially a 'collector' as far as MTG goes. I just cannot stop buying the foreign prints of revised/4th edition. The darker 4th edition inking specifically looks so fucking good with the black borders.

Ya I remember playing magic in person way back in the day and one guy had a bunch of Japanese versions of cards. Dark ritual is the one I remember most, looked super good.

Do you know anything about MTG? Commander is popular but not the only format. Also for most people in the casual space they tend to like to collect and build decks rather than buy. Certainly there's a lot of products that are in the precon space, or online.

TL;DR: maybe but depends what you're playing and what you want to get out of MTG.

I know zero about MTG other than learning the play via video's and what these guys keep running into my office telling me. This group of guys play Commander games here after work in the conference room. I always wanted to try playing MTG, so I figured this was a great chance to learn. Figured this commander was a playstyle I don't mind.

I don't know enough about the game, and the card synergies etc to make my own deck yet, Figured I'd buy a deck and tweak it as needed as I learn.

I don't mind spending the extra money if it saves me time, effort, and headache.

Honestly I would just buy some preconstructed boxed commander decks from an MTG store (WoTC precons) and learn the game before you spend money on custom stuff or start collecting crazy amounts. You won't know what you like until you learn to play and face a bunch of different deck archetypes.

I think they are like $40-50 each or something like that.
