[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 7727327, member: 1465"] Is this really true? Because if AL players actually like the PHB+1 rule, why are they breaking (or create a shortcut to partially avoid some restrictions) it by reprinting stuff from one book to another? The choice of reprinted subclasses makes little sense with respect to the PHB+1 rule. Crawford has confirmed to multiple people that they were chosen because they are the [I]most popular[/I], and I take it for granted that this is true. But there is no special synergy between those 4 subclasses and the new material in XGE that actually gives a strong reason why the players of those 4 subclasses should be treated more favorably than players of other subclasses. Not to mention the possibility (although IMHO that's not the case) that something could be more popular exactly because it's better, which would make it the worst possible choice for bypassing the +1 limitation. It could be after all a mere marketing ploy... to boost the chances of selling XGE to someone who didn't buy SCAG. But doesn't it also decrease the chances of buying SCAG from someone who is going to buy XGE? I know I didn't buy SCAG because IMHO it had too little to offer to my games, now that it has even less, I am even less likely to ever pick it up. [/QUOTE]
