you don't want it causing a complication with prize money or etc if you try to play in a regional tournament and get dqed by this I assume
It doesn't solve the problem, but I thought I saw something about tournaments allowing proxies for a card that's present but in unplayable condition.
MTG tournaments become a test of playing skill, deck building skill, and the skill to have enough money to buy important limited production cards. It is what it is, but sometimes it feels gross.
Is there a legitimate reason not to, or is it just a money grab?
I really don't understand why no legislation is targeting this market that is exactly like loot boxes.
maybe a counterfeit that's also from the 90s would have a similarly interesting story, but one from last week is much less interesting than the possibility of a beta card from the first set of a game inherently, and so less collectible.
