What's the range on those? Surely someone could scan a booster box in a store before buying then (and know what rares are in the box)?

- qsort 5y agoWell, you wouldn't know what those rares are. If you are Wizards implementing this, you would have the RFID be random digits, and keep a database somewhere to match <string of hexadecimal numbers> with "English STX Professor Onyx". But it's a good point, the access checks on the database would be a nightmare to handle properly.
- noxvilleza 5y agoYeah I just mean for your automatic sealed pools concept you need a way for {whoever runs the tournament} to be able to scan a pool, or a verify decklist, which means a 3rd party. Local game stores are not necessarily to be trusted this much - simply because they are in the best position to scan boxes (and in the past LGSs have done shady stuff like this when sets were mappable).
- theamk 5y agoThat’s why there needs to be a system like in passports - the rfid part is encrypted with the code printed on a card itself. This way there is no way to decrypt RFID info unless one can see the face of the card.
