>What are your suspicions?
wotc has now put its gloves on to tackle the fact that proxies have become a legitimate alternative in enjoying the game
>how to make people keep buying real cards then
i think wotc knows the age of 60 card competitive is truly over; much has been said about the failure of mtg being an esports, but i think it goes farther than that
i believe the brackets system being released this year is not a coincidence
this might sound ridiculous to you guys but i believe that brackets are the new formats - think vintage, standard, modern - and that events will now be bracket 2/3 edh (with random deck checks) using chase boosters as prizes to ensure people get out there buying, i've seen the game stores around my area doing this already
i believe the massive success of FF is exactly what wotc was looking for, nintendo allowing their non-pokemon IP to enter magic for example is every wotc exec's wet dream
this is why i believe magic will not get cheaper anytime soon, as instead of making cards cheaper to compete with proxies ala gabe newell/steam wotc is heavily leaning into magic as a luxury product with all the IP you could ever want
just like women will never be caught dead using fake chanel bags, nerdy guys won't dare come out in the wild with proxies - imagine going outside with that in a luxury hobby - the peer pressure and fear of shame will ensure you keep buying if you ever plan on leaving your small island of proxying friends
expect more UBs using the IPs that tickle the fancy of every nerd in the world in some kind of Weiss Schwarz future, with events offering the perfect kind of prize (surge foil, all the bells and whistles, hidden in boosters) to make people continue buying, and since holding the rights for reprints is never a sure thing that will only cause prices of chase cards to go higher and higher
feel free to ask again if i'm not being clear
