Holy poo poo, they play with unbanned dexterity cards. And some of them do play with mana burn, while others say nostalgia for that dumb old poo poo and batches is stupid whilst still pretending that the nostalgia for 1993 is the reason they're playing the format instead of wanting their own bitcoiner clubhouse.

Irony Be My Shield posted:Brain in a Jar actually can't cast 0 mana spells. Barry Shitpeas posted:No, because you can't ever cast a zero-cost spell off it You sacrifice it to Gargadon with the ability on the stack. There's no intervening if clause, so it tries to put a counter on, fails, then lets you cast a spell with cmc equal to the number of counters on it when it was last on the battlefield, which is zero. Not that I think it will actually make Gargadon Balance good, but hey.

You will probably not be surprised to learn its just a map that looks a bit like the original Harry Potter website circa 2001, except shoddier and with literally nothing to actually interact with.

93/94 is fine, if you don't have the resources to play 92/93 (Richard's own Alpha playtest cards only).

Would there be a big uproar if future sets were no longer redeemable, but mtgo prices went down?

If they got rid of redemption and made mtgo cost competitive to hearthstone they might even make more money than they do now while growing interest in the paper side of things. Of course that would be change that makes sense and not something WOTC likes to do.

Once you've ripped off the bandaid of tying online cards to physical ones through redemption lots of things become possible: Phantom constructed events where you just bring a decklist, subscription based revenue, scalable entry fees, you name it. But once again,  the secondary market.
