    I mostly play commander and haven't played for to long, i fell like the reserve list is useless. The point of card games is to play with cards and seeing timetwister for over $1000 when it's basicly windfall is dumb. I say just remove the reserved list. Plus EDH has it's own banlist and can fix itself.

    I tend to follow cedh and a good example would be Nadu: it's still inside the top 10 decks on edhtop16 and some of those decks if you look at them are not all that expensive: If you remove the dual lands (Unnecessary given how much Nadu in and of himself ramps anyway) and some of the super fancy versions players include (price is inflated because someone uses a 1k version of sol ring instead of a reprint for example) it shows that a fairly pushed new and rather cheap card using fairly inexpensive cards in the 99 can do just fine and still be tournament legal.

    Kinda hard to beat 0 mana add 3 of any colour if we ever get there then I think there will be much bigger issues in Magic. Every Magic players collection would essentially be worthless by utility. Essentialy the entire game would be considered "rotating"

      It was already there to begin with, and the fact that these things are still legal in any capacity just goes to show how flawed it already is

    That runescape background and magic topic was irresistible to click on.

    Depends
    When it comes to mana generation the reserved list will never be power crept, wotc is terrified of printing more raw fast mana
    Every other RL staple is being/has been crept aside from the p9, duals, and WoF

    Obsoletion is the word for it. New mtg being more relevant to current year increasing deck synergy/versatility.
    Old reserved edh 'Staples' will linger or be proxied.
    I.e. Mishra's workshop is made weaker but better.
    - Comes in tapped unless you pay 1 generic.
    - tap for two colorless only for artifacts
    - tap for any color to cast a colored artifact.

    If the Reserve List didn’t exist, power creep would make those cards irrelevant over time. WotC can only sell you so many duals, so many Time Walks before you don’t care. The solution would be to creep everything out of the game to keep selling cards.

      Tbf i don’t know how possible it is to power creep timewalk. 2 mana take an extra turn that doesn’t exile itself? I guess if they made it free.

    The reserve list shouldn't even exist in the first place

    MTG has a powercreep, feature creep, and greed problem.
    The reserved list is anything WotC decides to add to it, so even new cards can be reserved. Other reserved cards will lose value (except a legendary few), but new ones will retain it and maybe appreciate it as they are "reserved" now. Powercreep won't kill the reserved list. It'll kill the game and then the speculators.
    The game has become too complex because of their use of gimmicks and keywords (which inherently add complexity). These new features they add to the game will start to become overwhelming for newer players (if it hasn't already. I just got back in after stopping in 2010, and im still learning everything again). Just like many people turn away from TtRPGs because of the manual, new players will be turned off by the amount of rules text and keywords, and mechanics that have been added over the years (and with reckless abandon as of late).
    Greed is also making the game too expensive to collect. As a player, I can give WotC the middle finger and print proxies, but if I want actual cards, I need to buy their product, and purchases in the secondary market also support WotC. The prices are way out of reach for a lot of players, and that's because of greed. 30th anniversary, anyone? Secret lairs? Conspiracy sets? Ridiculous amounts of skews for a single set combined with the breakneck releases of new sets along with cards that are format specific will be another nail in the coffin for this game.
    Hype cycles and chasing trends are idiodic things to speculate value off of. They are fleeting, even in older society, and the only people who can benefit from them are the ones setting the trends or having the capital to absorb any negative impact.
    Im not sold on your premise. There is a lot more involved than just Powercreep, and a lot more nuances on how the market operates as well as how game design impacts future purchases. Hype trains are used to sell a product without actually providing value (preorders are a perfect example), and trends are too fleeting and subject to a number of human behaviors, which are easy to manipulate with marketing. The speed of society is an advantage for speculators wanting a quick buck, and not necessarily something that affects the supply chain (which can be arbitrarily set, which can be good or bad depending on how manipulative, or not, a company is).
