[QUOTE="Dragon Snack, post: 5658250, member: 9810"] Ugh. The update was seriously flawed on the D&D side. So bad that it wouldn't let you report D&D Encounters as a D&D game - it literally made it into a Magic event and wanted you to set up matches. And it's still not fixed over a week later... There are a lot of formats for Magic, but for this discussion we will stick with "Standard" for recent cards and "Legacy" for older cards. As for Legacy Magic events being reportable, yes they are - however the issue of Magic being a collectible card game clouds the comparison. If you couldn't keep playing the older cards they would lose their value. To further confuse the issue, WotC also reprints (meaning they can be used in Standard) as well as re-releases some older cards in newer products outside of the current sets (which are not usable in the Standard format, but can be in the older Legacy format). And let's face it, there are a LOT of old Magic cards out there. As a store I have access to tons of older Magic cards to sell as singles. The same thing cannot be said of older D&D products. 2E D&D was my best selling RPG when I opened up (2.5 years ago) - until I ran out out of the books to sell... [/QUOTE]
