socialism is inherently authoritarian so there is no soft fluffy pillow kind like the one you imagine in your head, the "dictatorship of the proletariat" is literal.

seems relevant

well I mean it's not really the pre internet era anymore and everythings spoiled now but generally what you describe here seemed to happen when you draft the set and you see cool stuff and go "what's that?" that's not lost at all with what I was describing. what I was talking about is after...

I saw someone with a breakdown a week ago claiming that the player base is basically 1/3rd of people who started in last 2 years, 1/3rd of people who started more than 5 years ago and 1/3rd that are 10 year plus. I think the avg player can go back like nearly 10 years in their head of cards.

it's definitely cost something, people used to have like every card memorized by the art, that's not really possible anymore, kinda makes you lose connection to the game a bit. it's subtle but I think it's a real thing.

that dark ritual is hot, the rest is meh you're misunderstanding me, they've spent like over 2 decades building up tournament magic and suddenly commander is more popular which is a format that was fan made. you're thinking I meant from the moment of inception, no.

they had no idea what they wanted then, it took several years for them to figure out what they wanted to do, by 1996 drafting was part of pro magic.

well they signaled this isn't going to happen, now what? this it's why it's funny and naive watching you go through is, everyone else said exactly what you're saying over last 2 years, you're just catching up

No I said they already do this so you aren't proposing a solution to anything, not to hasbro at least, they put commander stuff in standard AND all the other products even the non commander product, literally every product is a commnader vehicle. look at the shear volume of stuff they put out...

it's not for sale for another hour and 15

this setup doesn't invalidate what came before like commander products do, legacy is kinda turned into a wild west of nonsense that rotates constantly because of all the cards that get dumped into it from non standard products, mh2 turned off a lot of people because it was doing what you suggested.

it's a terrible idea either way because it would a bunch of stuff into draft and constructed that's useless, they don't bother to test commander products and if they wanted to put it into standard products it would tank the core product they've had this entire time.

"they should do X instead of Y" "they've done X for years and it doesn't stop them from doing Y" "that's what I said"...................

they already put things that people say "this is for commander" in every standard set, on top of everything else. For years now.
