I’m 41 years old and I’m by no means an expert of magic. What I am is a fan remembering when I was 14-15 years (1995-1996) old and being introduced to this new world of game play. Such a fun time remembering how everyone gathered to play this game, either played in the back of an old comic store or on the floor (where ever) to play. The point that I’m trying to make is that the innocence of a youth being able to afford a pack and share it with friends is long gone. I grew up poor but for my father to be able to purchase a single pack was huge for me let alone two. Just scrolling YT and to see that this product is being sold at these prices is ridiculous, especially for cards that can’t be used is silly. And in that pack I opened an “Icy Manipulator”, not a rare card but something I was happy for. Sad to see these companies try to squeeze the pockets of potential future players and leave the core fans out (exclusivity). Side note, surprisingly I was able to find my original decks from the 90’s in my garage. What great memories and that is something you can’t put a price on.

I attended Magic Celebration for the 20th anniversary at my lgs. Wizards gave everyone 30 card decks of the core set in the color they wanted to play. There were at least 30 of us there. WotC provided boosters to give out in between rounds, three rounds of play. Then we got promos at the end, albeit old promos from the LGS. It was all free to the Magic community, and one of the most enjoyable events I've ever attended. This offering for the 30th anniversary is anti player.

I feel for ya, man. As someone else who loves, I mean LOVES this game (bc as much as I hate Wizards as a company, I still just love Magic), this has all been truly heartbreaking to witness over the years. For me, unfortunately the downfall really began back in 2007-2008, and was actually more so like a bunch of "steps" the company took, rather quickly, than a singular "moment". It first began with Tarmogoyf in Future Sight, and it being the first NEW card to reach first $30, and then shortly thereafter $35, that I had ever seen up til' that point. Sure, OLDER cards commanded high prices. But prior to Goyf, it just seemed normal that the nuts cards in an upcoming or brand new set were around $18-20, and went down from there. Goyf was $30, and I just remember all my friends and I thinking like...what the HELL?! And it was like EVERY good deck ran 4 as well. That was step one. Step two came with Lorwyn, and a brand new card type in Planeswalkers. Which as soon as you played against them, you realized that yeaaaa...these things are here to stay lol. Not that there's anything at all wrong with growing the game and making new, exciting card types. But when they're made absurdly powerful (which we all knew they WOULD be, eventually) then it becomes mandatory to play them, and so if Goyf just hit $35, what does that mean for the Planeswalkers in the upcoming sets? $40? FIFTY DOLLARS?!?!?! Hahahaha...makes me chuckle how naieve we were back then. And the final new introduction was the adding of a new rarity level, the mythics. I don't think that one really merits any further elaboration haha.

@championchap they can price them however they want. The secondary market determines the aftermarket price based on supply and demand (aka capitalism). What Wizards is doing is trying to manipulate that price by setting a high bar for the base with a grossly inflated retail so that they get a cut. And its not like a new printing of Black Lotus is going to reduce the price of old ones. Old cards are valuable because they are rare and old and they are going to maintain that value as long as people care about the game. To use another example from the same company an original edition of Monopoly costs $140,000 despite the current version which is functionally identical being available right now on Amazon for 16.34 (15.99 with a coupon).

There aren't many of us who've been playing since 93 (I'm one of them). But I was so disappointed in this product announcement. I thought for sure there were people at Wizards that understood the community. Clearly, if there are, they have no voice in the decision making process. Next year could have been an amazing celebratory year for us as a community. This is the first time in my 30 years of magic fandom that I am seriously considering not giving another dime to them. My logical mind says this is the trial balloon. If it sells out, it's the first, and least disgusting product we'll see in the coming years, and I don't know if I want to be a part of it anymore.

I don't even think you need to hear the voice of the community to not sell a mediocre product for such an insanely price, and only online. It's just common sense that it needs to be cheaper, more consumer-friendly, and more available. They did that on purpose. It's purposefully anti-community and anti-consumer, because it's pro-speculator. It's thought of as a product that collectors will fight for and pay a lot of money for. It was never designed for people to enjoy old-style magic. They know MTG is going to be successful no matter what, and they deliberately choose to be more greedy than necessary. They could be more than profitable and still sell community-friendly products, but they'd rather make even more money without having to care. And you know what's even worse? They probably didn't even listen to their own designers and creators. It's very likely just a marketing concept. Chances are that people in their very own company dislike that approach, and would rather sell more approachable products, because they enjoy people playing their game and discovering what made them love it too. Instead, that company sells a product for a few people who won't play it.

As someone who has been playing since a few years after you (95), my feelings are very close to yours. Before this product was announced I was very eager to get into a few drafts with Unfinity and was kinda hyped for the next set because of the Transformer cards; now I am questioning if I want to keep giving money to a corporation that no longer even tries to pretend they want to give us a good product/experience, they just want our money. The sad part is that this will be a major success, they will sell every single box, and you will see scalpers selling them back for 4000 or more and people will still buy them, just like it happened with Double Masters VIP...they will just create some other disgusting overpriced product for next time. My only hope is that this is a bubble and that eventually it will all come crashing down, forcing them to focus again on the game part, instead of exploiting their playerbase/fans.

I feel pretty similar, this has very much become an abusive relationship. The really, really funny part to me is that if players stop playing, these cards will very quickly be worth almost nothing, and none of the speculators will be holding onto value, just rubbish, yet WotC keep shoving it's head up the speculator's asses instead of concentrating on making a fun game. They've actively tried to obsolete almost every old card (if you're observant you'll note how often WotC 'weirdly' doesn't reprint the better cards and just keep printing the shit ones, or the 'budget picks', because they actively want 'expensive cards' for the speculators, even if the majority of the money the game actually makes comes from players). The company is being run by moronic children at this point, caricatures of 80s business greed parading around as humans, but they have a lot of very dumb consumers (ever wonder why the brass wanted the game 'dumbed down a lot' way back? That was because you can sell more/lazier products to less sophisticated consumers. They wanted people that think it's fun to play with Phyrexian Obliterator type cards, not people who like Stax and Pox decks that are hard to play/play against.

As a complete set but _also_ in pseudo-random booster packs so you could take it out of the box to play immediately? Toss in some cool card treatments (and better art selection, come on - love the old art, but not in the new frames) (hey, what if the did tarot-style gold rimmed cards?

Thank you Prof. for expressing my (and not only my) thoughts on this with the clearest and most polite words that only you are capable of. I am an Italian veteran collector, started at the very beginning, and I feel insulted by this product, and by WotC in general. I have always loved Magic since I was a kid, it has always been my n.1 passion. I have a very bitter taste in my mouth now that I see how they plan to "celebrate" this very important result. THIRTY YEARS! How many games have lasted so long? Do they even realize what they have? Of all the good there is in Magic, the only thing they can see is the money-making potential. Which of course, is fundamental part of Magic and its health and prosperity. But they have forgotten that this is the result of all the rest that is amazing in Magic. The game, the art, the lore, the characters... And most of all, the PLAYERS AND COLLECTORS BASE, and the STORES that make all of this possible! They are nothing without us, and still they treat us like we are nothing without them. How shabby! I don't want to write too much, but I want to conclude with this. I remember when during Lorwyn block one of the "commercial tip cards" you could find in boosters was one that simply said "15 years. Thank you." Maybe I am oversentitive, but that warmed my heart when I saw one. We didn't ask for that, but it was a simple message. It was for US, the players, the collectors, the store owners. It was free. It was sent for everyone out there. Maybe a commercial card with "30 years. Thank you." would have been better than all this scam. Sometimes less is more. When it comes to gifts and gratitude, really, what matters is the gesture itself, not the monetary value. Thanks to everyone who read this entire wall of text. A very disappointed Italian Magic lover

I played Magic for 20 years of those 30. It was such a beauty of a thing. You saw someone play at school, the next week there's an entire playgroup, the next week after that we all find an LGS and hang out there. So many afternoons just having fun, making memories. Then it's the sad reality sinking in. You see the LGS (plural) in your area struggling, eventually close or change into a snack bar to pay the bills. You see the company pumping out product after product, you can't keep up anymore. You see all these shiny cool things, being limited, complicated to get and at abusive prices. You see no more PTs, no more GPs, no more exciting moments to talk about the next day with your homies. Entire formats being abandoned. Some being exploited for money like EDH. You see no flavour, no captivating stories, every set is just a bland "A to B" adventure. You even see out of place IPs being advertised within your once favorite card game. Steady increase in prices, even for older products. And now this...technically selling you 60 fake cards for 1000 dollars. A slam dunk of a product completely butchered by availability and price. And they even have the audacity to call this a celebration. I would call it murder. I discuss all of these events as they happen with my homies from way back then. We all laugh our asses off and keep saying "What he fuck happened to Magic, dude?? It USED to be so cool". But inside It literally pains my heart to see what the "game" became. It's not "Magic" anymore...just sleight of hand. A farce performed by a charlatan. What once was a fun game that could also be a cool collectible just turning into a mere «exclusive» collectible for rich people, gambling addicts, investors and shareholders. No game left to play. Fuck you, Hasbro. Fuck you, WotC. Fuck the state of this franchise.

I watched vids about war of the spark, elder dragons, Capenna and so much more that made me switch from YGO to magic. I was of course a bit intimidated by the price but I just told myself there is not TCG thats cheap or atleast the cards aren't cheap. And now this... Welps I might have to dust my YGO cards cause atleast there I already know it's fun and they treat the community right for the most part.

What made me fall in love with the game is no longer there to me, see? The proxies are a mere speck of the iceberg. I rather see the company that makes the game have (and consistently keep having) great ideas that solve known problems and make players band together so they want to support THEM (and henceforth the game itself), than just seeing the company herpaderp their brains out with decisions that are "$$$ first, player....not even last, not even in the metrics" and make consumers incredibly untrusting of them in the process.

Never played magic, just a casual yugioh player and I have to say two things. One thank you for this beautiful and candid video. Two, even as a casual player of a different TCG under a different company, I am disgusted. All of my friends and other members of my Yugioh community have a profound respect for MTG and what it has stood for for all TCGs. The level of greed and disregard for the community that is the life blood of their company is an insult to all TCGs. I can only hope that Konami sees the vast amount of outrage and is reminded to always respect the players.

This one actually made me want to cry. I experienced Magic well before Pokémon by watching classmates have duels on the concrete during recess with cards like Chaos Orb and Juzam Djinn. My parents wouldn't allow me to have Magic cards due to the early art and criticism of the game so I grew up playing and collecting Pokémon. Once an adult with a job I was able to go back to Magic's art and multiple formats. The game of Magic is continually becoming more big business with Hasbro now making a product to directly sell to the secondary market with the biggest payouts they have had, not only blocking out the average/budget consumer, but limiting quantity to even block out whales. This isn't a player/fan celebration whatsoever, which really irks me the most. I've accepted not partaking of premium products or having the time to get to appreciate a set before the next release is upon us, but it really makes me want to wash my hands of Magic since the 'Gathering', casual gaming and collecting doesn't seem like it will be affordable much longer. Magic the Gathering is becoming the product not for me. 😟

When I discovered magic, it was during the Tempest block- and I was in love. I had a science teacher who kept his class open for kids to play during lunch break, and he even organized a trip to play the release tournament for stronghold. Back then, the thought of trading your cards to make the best possible deck wasn’t even a consideration. You just did it. The game was what mattered; not collecting- not financials. The community, the fun- all of it was possible because of an amazing game and a company that seemed to listen and care about the people that played with their products. I’m not sure they look at us as anything more than investors now.

But here they are pushing, four digits even. It's genius from a marketing standpoint. They'll even get valuable data with how much they can get away with in the future.

It’s a unique rarity called 10,000 Secret Rare with a unique foil pattern and watermark in the text box and is just a big beater. It’s purely a collector’s item and no one would need it or really want to run it in a competitive deck as more than a flex. It was in a reprint box - _Battles of Legend: Armageddon_ - that was all holos. You could have been just lucky and pulled your golden ticket in a regularly priced booster pack.

Same, I’m actually in a financial position to play mtg again as a 42 year old. I started playing when revised came out and had a beautiful time playing with my 12-14 year old friend group. I played up until homelands came out. I moved on to other hobbies and never imagined my beloved game of Mtg would become what it is today. I have kids of my own now that are graduating from school. Many times I’ve wanted to introduce the game to them. But where to start? Do I go back and rebuild my old decks? Do I go back to Unlimited, Arabian nights, Antiquities and spend 10-15k on nostalgia? Do I jump back into Mtg with the current sets? They only come out every 2-3 months with a new set. Which one is going to be the one? Are there starter decks? Do I buy a starter deck and and booster packs from the last 3 sets and the next 3 sets? It’s all a bit overwhelming at this point. I have kept collecting over the years, but only the cards I really like from ABU. It’s sad that this game has been reduced to a bi-monthly cash grab. It still holds a special place in my heart and it always will. If only Mtg 30th anniversary was the opportunity it should have been.

X. ...and it was only 50 bucks.
