Also in the Magic world has WOTC been making a stir recently. They have reprinted non-playable versions of cards they promised never to reprint like Black Lotus and sell them at staggering prices. This has been seen as a breach of trust in a desperate attempt to fulfill their promise of growing profits[1] and even Bank of America has warned against their stock[2].

- thom 4y agoThe high prices of the packs were ridiculous but the reserve list is tournament legal cards only, and as far as I can see almost every playgroup has a cube or commander decks with high quality proxies these days, so I don’t blame them for trying. Far worse is the systematic dismantling of organised play that has meant ‘tournament legal’ has become meaningless for many people, but perhaps the latest iteration of the Pro Tour will stick.
- YeGoblynQueenne 4y agoCan you say more about "the systematic dismantling of organised play" please? I've been out of the loop for a few years, but I used to play semi-competitively (i.e. I tried to play competitively but I sucked at it :)
