Since I'll never give up, this will indeed be along thread. I especially will not give up because of childish insults, or because someone makes an offhand snarky remark online.


As such each day I will post until they see that this is a good idea.

That's not cool, friend. Please don't do that.

Why? I mean I am not trying to be defiant, but I have a goal and no one is required to post or read my threads. As such I fail to see how it would violate any ToS. If it does, let me know so I can A. Stop posting, and B find some place else to take my free time and business to.

I am required to read your posts. Spamming through repeated posts/flooding forums is against our ...

It's a difficult problem to tackle, but to do so, we're changing how Wildcards work for Historic cards. Starting after an update in November, crafting a Historic card will require you to redeem two Wildcards of the appropriate rarity instead of one.

^ Me when reading this for the third time.
After a lot of very welcome changes, this feels kinda out of place.
How does doubling the cost of Historic cards help... with anything? Could this be explained further? Did I even read it right?
Out of my head I can't think of any argument on this change helping to build up a good non-rotating format.

Again, as with any change to the economy, we’ll be monitoring both player behavior in-game and player feedback. If a card is reprinted into a Standard set you will only pay one Wildcard for that version and it can be used in Historic (only the old version costs 2).
