@MTGCritic @jtempkin @RalZarek whole innovation of mtg vs other collectibles was items had value beyond rarity. P9 has lost that. RL next?

@derelict515 @jtempkin @RalZarek NP. < 1% of all MTG players play Vintage/Legacy. This is Toyota guys wanting a Porsche w/o saving for it.

@jtempkin @derelict515 @RalZarek Avg cost to play competitive MTG has not changed in ages. MTG is $1.5-2k/annum, like many hobbies.

@MTGCritic @jtempkin @derelict515 @RalZarek why print EMA if not to make it accessible to its player base? WotC annually states that MtG is

@letzgoterps @jtempkin @derelict515 If EMA was about accessibility it would be paired with increased tourney support. That won't happen. $$$

@MTGCritic @jtempkin @derelict515 exactly my thoughts. Everyone is going to say it's about legacy or the game or players, it's not. $$$ only

@letzgoterps It's as simple as the timing was good, the slot was there, and so was the demand. Reprints intended as a drip not a river.
