Look, you try going into the database and changing the pauper legality of every single card that's shifted down to common. There are tens of thousands in there!

Reminder that Gleemox was randomly legal for a few days, this is not surprising in the slightest.

e: MTGO has to be like 1 guy running it, there's no way they have a team of people and they have to delay by 4 weeks.

Gleemox was only legal in vintage and legacy, it was still "banned" in modern.

I wonder: Would I still like Magic if I could afford to actually play it?

Some people are addicted to the idea of treating magic the gathering like a stock market and making money off it. Far too few people ever do it consistently and so few of those actually do it to a point where the time investment is worth more than minimum wage.

Basically, "Nerd Dreams".
Nailed it. "I made $40 on a bunch of cards" when reality it is "I spent 3 hours making $1 per card after postage on 20 cards! Oh and I also still have 100 Savage Knuckleblades that I bought years ago that no one wants"

Because they had a bunch they couldn't move?
This too. Frequently is "this card is good / could be good in ______, you should buy them before they become scarce - full disclosure I bought a bunch already"

It's just that card specifically that I don't get. It's only got a home in Commander and nothing else. We could argue the same thing for a card like Doubling Season, but you can play with that in regular two-player games because there's no substitute for that effect.

Oh well, joke's on them. You can still get copies of Call the Spirits for about $25 and flip Grasp of Fate for $40 to someone that needs a radiated Banishing Light that badly.

All the Onslaught ones are great too, most have little huts on them. Onslaught lands and foil lands are great.

This.
Mirrodin #209 plains

He also had it in his version of the snake scales deck, so I wonder if he specced on it himself.
