    Nice video and commentary! Keep it up! 👍 Also regarding your question about proxies, I’m also a casual player and keep more sealed, I’m all for people using proxies. But it does feel nice to have the real thing that carries value. You could relate it back to your video game analogy, in a game like WoW or CS2, it’s cool to have the higher value skins or items in the actual game instead of a private server or where you can get every look or item, in my opinion! 🔥

    Investing in cards that are not on the reserved list has to be one of the most foolish decisions ever. Every investment channel and personality would agree with this statement. They aren’t even seen as equity, so you can’t even take out a loan against the fluctuating value of your cards.

    Lol I also don't own the banned cards but have a bunch of vaults floating around I bought for around 15 each a long while ago. Guess I gotta sell them and cash in on the pain train. I also think they will replace all the banned cards, it's just common sense at this point but people really wanna believe WOTC is their best friend who loves them and holds their personal collections in high esteem. Universes beyond shows they don't care about the IP, modern horizons show they dont care about the formats, and Magic 30th shows they do not respect the players or the history of the game.
    Wake up people, there is not exactly a good track record going on here.

    The answer for “why not proxy” is for official WotC events you have to have the real cards.
    And coming from games like YGO where the ban list is updated every quarter and very frequently the top gets chopped, this is comical. Grow up man.

      @@ToGoBox69 no, bc a car isnt gonna magically lose value bc of balance, bc there is no balance. Investing isnt bad, but using a card game to invest, then pretending the only reason to ban cards is price, is ignoring the normal side of the card game. There are reasons for these cards to be banned, that have litterally zero to do with price, theyve listed them and people who play with these cards seem to agree, the sentiment is mostly"why now and not earlier". Going into a card game to earn money and crying when cards are banned is dumb.

    In your WoW analogy, it’s a private server. Just like how you turn on creative mode for Minecraft to build whatever you want in your private server, but have to abide by survival mode in the regular game. So while you could proxie around your kitchen table with friends, places like tournaments or some play groups at your local LGS won’t allow them.
    Also very rude to call the RC members 300 lb neckbeards that angry about the cost of the pieces. Not only can you see who’s in the RC and they are active members in the community, but they very clearly explained the reasoning behind the bans even following up with an FAQ after all the uproar.
    I’ll agree WotC was scummy squeezing out extra profit knowing these cards were on the possible chopping block, but that’s just on par for Wizards. Profits over players.

      @@BlueGriffin20 best comment of the video by far. Great feedback. Ya the personal attack on them uncalled for since I’ve never owned the cards and don’t even play the game. I think we just have to be careful with the word “community” because I can promise you wizards only cares about the money in the “communities” pockets. The second people start thinking a billion dollar company actually cares about their feelings then they’ve got you brainwashed.

      @@ToGoBox69 oh 100% wizards is trying to get as much money as they can. (or at least since Hasbro has pushed them to squeeze as much at they can to double their profits.) Their track record with the OGL, M30, etc has been a mess.
      The RC and wizards are separate entities though. The RC doesn’t get profit the better Wizards does, don’t get healthcare coverage. They attend cons, have their own TH-cam channels. Yes they do interact with Wizards, but aren’t paid by them.
      I think community is a fine word to use to describe the magic players collective though.

    • @BlueGriffin20
      @BlueGriffin20 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      No, but these just came out of no where after the Rules Committee hasn’t been moving much with any bans. These were also some high $ pieces. Most of the time a card is realized as too powerful and people can see the ban hammer coming or it’s a new card that doesn’t have a lot of time to peak in price. These have been out for years, untouched and nothing recently released would have made them any better.
