uh alchemy changing the cards four weeks in it's pretty funny that i'm talking about accessibility here and meanwhile the arena economy for people who aren't willing to grind the free-to-play is a messy predatory trash fire that seems to only get progressively worse as time goes on meanwhile the development team either stays dead quiet or people in charge of it like blake will claim they're going to give us a economy stream and then just not or not even give us any concrete dates so i guess we'll just sat waiting blake for when the arena economy stream is going to come so you can i don't know stick a lampshade on it and pretend there's no problems at all because your your numbers that we can't see say otherwise anyway so standard cards are cheaper now even foiled versions of the cards are cheaper than ever commander chase rare unnatural growth it's the main reason it's got um a price tag on it it's because of commander but for example this card ranges from around four bucks for normal right up to ten to twelve dollars for a full extended border one the normal foil is only around six to seven bucks at time of writing which suggests that general foil multipliers are down as well right we've known this for a while people only stretch themselves for the blingiest of bling the mid-range bling just doesn't demand the price tag that it once did the normal foils used to be the most extremely exciting version of a magic card and now they're kind of middle of the road and boring they're pedestrian by comparison to some of the stuff you're getting collector boosters paper standard was getting cheaper thanks to project booster fun and the large amount of product getting opened and the more extreme and fanciful versions of carts that was a really cool byproduct of getting draft collector and set boosters some might think that four dollars for an in standard ram might be a bit too much still i don't really know where to put the price tag of what a staple should be at four dollars is a lot for a piece of cardboard for one person and not much for another everybody's mileage may vary everyone has a different amount of disposable income where we draw that line and where we say this is a good like like aim we should aim for that i don't know i'm interested to see what people really think about that if they're on board with the idea that wizards could actively make magical gathering cheaper to get into and more expensive to collect and just to label this point a little bit more memory deluge the card seeing players a two three or sometimes four copies in blue white control in modern and it's currently six dollars this is fantastic meanwhile in the same deck we have a very expensive mythic from recent time as well four copies of solitude a push to mythic from a premium priced and non-standard one set solitude currently runs NUMBER_TOKEN bucks a pop double that of even the most expensive card in crimson vowel and NUMBER_TOKEN times the price of cards like memory deluge or most of the dual lands from crimson val and that's the base of course don't forget there are foils there are borderless thunfoils and there's borderless foils which will set you back around NUMBER_TOKEN bucks let's unpack that a little bit here shall we modern voices at present is still in
