(Official Organized Play) Tournament Activity only exists because the Hobby still brings in money Want to play the Game on the most even fair playing field? Run it yourself, proxy friendly And you have my full support

And if you want to make a Proxy with a magic back That looks 90% like a real thing Don’t 🙂

"this will always be unfair" does also mean "tournament magic will never have diverse demographics" it will always be (mostly) white dudes with good jobs the solution (if you can call it one) is to subsidize the cost of physical space and judge staff elsewhere good luck

@RodneyBedell It's the same in any hobby. Auto Racing Hunting ComicBooks Whatever your hobby is will always be enjoyed within an individuals means.

@RodneyBedell I feel this put people with responsibility as a disadvantage imagine allowing students to use fake cards on tournament just bcoz they can’t afford it and grown peope who have kids and work grind it out to buy cards. is it fair still?

@RodneyBedell I think the best that could possibly come out of this is some group of players create their own alternative to the DCI and host a platform that looks to foster organized play decoupled from businesses. It's sadly unrealistic, and if at all successful would eventually be monetized

@RodneyBedell We could make it not unfair though.

@RodneyBedell Magic: the thing we tell ourselves we do as we pass Trade Binders around the table.

@RodneyBedell There's no victim in a tournament though
