[QUOTE="Art Waring, post: 9431822, member: 7037141"] I agree 100%, however, I personally find that I can still enjoy the game by playing alternative formats. Cube is for me the best way to play mtg because you get to curate what cards are used. You can go full on A/B/U & Power 9, or pauper with block restrictions, you decide what is not allowed (so you can cut off any cards made after 2010's for a cube better suited to your preferences). There are still plenty of ways to enjoy the game without suffering from the current situation. I also hope that I am not getting you annoyed (as I know your outlook on the situation), personally I think that card games, particularly ones originally designed so well, will endure over time. I don't know if you are familiar with star trek ccg (originally made by Decipher), but despite them going out of business years ago, their star trek card game is still alive and well thanks to the star trek continuing committee, a website that has an archive of the entire library of cards made by decipher, and also a massive growing library of player-made custom sets of cards that go through the committee to rule on balance and such. Despite the fact that the company is long gone, the game still endures and is still played among friends. I hope that some day the same will happen with MTG, where the community designs cards for the health of the game, not for profit. Hope you have a good day Scribe. [/QUOTE]
