WotC needs to do a Uro buyback program where you send them your copies of Uro and they send you a thank you card for not quitting Magic.

I would like to open a dialogue with
@wizards_magic
about updating the economy on
@MTG_Arena
. I feel like the current setup is more predatory than any other game I've ever played. Without real life collectability attached to the cards, the price point on everything needs to drop.

Can't play EDH because when someone attacks me for 2, I say "I'll take it" instead of squealing like a stuck pig and making it my life's mission to ruin that person's professional and personal life.

With all due respect,
@MTG_Arena
cards are too expensive by about 50%. Not having a dust system also creates a lot of problems like duplicates when reprints ultimately happen. I hate playing Arena because my decks get banned constantly and I feel like I'm literally burning money.

If drafting needs saving, you should stop making more than one booster pack and reduce price. Every change you've made in the last five years is strip mining the player base for short term profits.

I can assure you that the majority of play patterns with this card will entail making a creature every turn. It is the most aggressive blue planeswalker I've seen in a long time, and will easily dominate games where it isn't killed on sight.

Dear Wizards,
Just make Historic Horizons. Let us draft and buy packs and every card is able to be crafted as normal. Repeat once a year and you'll be rolling in wildcards without cheating your customers.

Person who's never won a tournament: I'm READY to WIN this weekend. My list is broken and I'm unstoppable.

Hey y'all, I just want to say that Alex Bertoncini stole tens of thousands of dollars from me and my friends and he shouldn't ever be allowed to play Magic again unless he gives $500 to every opponent at every tournament for three straight years.

If

really wants people to engage with Modern again, the easiest way to do it is to completely unlock the Ban List. Let's start from scratch and see if a larger card pool full of stone cold killers from Magic's past can compete with Grief.

Pro Tips for anyone playing important events at
#MagicConChicago
:
1) call a judge
Your opponent(s) will not have your best interests at heart. Make sure you know what their cards do, and call a judge for anything that feels off.

557
A few more ways to alleviate pressure on Standard:
1) cheaper boosters ($2 for Aftermath would have been sick)
2) push for stronger uncommons
3) promos for stores for running Standard events (FNM)
4) rethink conventional creature sizing to promote more combat in gameplay
Starting with the release of Wilds of Eldraine, standard rotation is changing. Standard sets will now rotate every three years instead of two to improve the overall tabletop Standard experience.
Read about how and why the change is coming on DailyMTG:

hey dude i know you're getting beat up, and I don't wanna add to that. Just hear this: treat women like people. Ask them out, and if they say no, just be normal and say "okay." Then leave them alone. That's it.
If it's a public or professional setting, don't ask them out.

If you're their boss, don't ask them out. If you have power over them or their money, don't ask them out. If they have headphones on, don't bother them.
That's it. Maybe try to connect with someone as a friend before asking them out. Don't press the issue when they say no.

I know it is easy to hate on SCG but just remember these facts:
1) they stopped live MTG coverage
2) they laid off most of their directors so they could contract for FaB coverage
3) lean toward casual crowd while complaining about competitive attendance

By adding 2 extra or more boosters for each set, you've created the problem in your own marketplace. Draft boosters weren't something people bought because YOU changed it from the default booster. And now you've effectively doubled the price of your base booster pack to fix.

At your next competitive commander event, try these 3 easy tricks:

As a content creator, I spend a good amount of money buying booster packs. I get to see first hand that $100 doesn't go very far. The current wildcard system needs to be changed. You should never need more Rare wildcards than Mythic. It's a scam.

Would you watch coverage of a Magic tournament where one company (e.g. SCG) had 6 "grandmasters" that they would follow the whole tournament, had their own feature match area, etc? Once those players were eliminated, coverage would follow others until the finish.

Context: Trevor was banned in roughly the same breath as Jared Boettcher for almost exactly the same type of cheat. They both shuffled their opponent's deck an enormous amount, manipulating it so they'd draw zero lands and mulligan. They'd often stop doing it at 5.
