Ambiguity as a literary device only has value in poetry and fiction. Ambiguity in a serious discussion simply obfuscates your argument (or in your case, likely, obfuscates the fact that you don't really have an argument.)
For the sake of those of us without your genius, please explain what, if anything, is multi-faceted about your ideas in this thread?

Am I supposed to be impressed by people with readied diatribes against "big words"? I mean sure, it's hard to understand, but when I say for example, vouch for a competitive environment restricted by price, I mean that I want one of two things. I happen to want an environment where prices disable the use of power cards. This has two effects.

I don't have any readied diatribes. I have no issue with "big words" at all. I have issue with sentences that are clearly constructed by someone who doesn't understand half of the words they are using. Your posts make no sense. This might be deliberate, but it is further confounded by the fact that you are making actual mistakes on top of your garbled sentence structure. You want an environment where prices disable the use of power cards? Why not simply play any other format, where these expensive cards are not legal for play? Why take away from the one competitive format that has them?
Keep your naysaying out of our forum, please. You aren't even being elegant in your trolling.

Alright, seeing as you're being so feckless, there's no sense in carrying on this raging shitstorm. Good day.

Le Sigh.
In what way am I being feckless? Are you quite certain you know what that word means? I'm certainly not being indifferent, so you must mean that I'm being ineffectual. I'll concede that I am having no luck wringing any sense out of you, and your position seems to be that there should be room for terrible decks/cards in the most competitive format ever, but I don't know why that would be a reason to say good day to me; surely one prefers, as a general rule, to engage in a conversation that they are winning. Have you given up because you feel so thoroughly ahead that there is no longer any point? Because that doesn't seem to be the case to me, or likely anyone else in this thread.
Goodbye.

good stuff guys! 2 questions right now
1. How much do you think a card like a time walk would cost out of a new expansion set?
2. In regards to building on a budget is Ghost Quarter seeing any vintage play?

they would not release p9 in a new expansion it would ruin other parts of the game i.e. type 2, legacy ect ect. ghost quarter does not really see play stripmine is not all that costly and wasteland still better. those 2 lands are main pretty much. if wizards ever and i mean ever decided to release p9 as a reprint i can see it as a Vault of...whater maybe Vault of power or vault of leetness and it would have a heafty heafty price tag on it.

Reprinting p9 wouldn't affect Legacy unless they changed the banned list. However, it would have a huge effect on Standard for the two years it'd be playable for. Although, it'd probably end up getting banned quickly in both Standard and Extended, so really, I don't think it makes sense for them to reprint power since essentially, it would still only be usable in one format. The one that in my opinion gains the least recognition.

Ghost quarter can be used as a compliment to stripmine. It is land destruction that destroys "any land" and that cannot be countered by spells like force of will.
You can also use ghost quarter to fetch a basic land if need be. For example, in the case of a magus of the moon being in your opponents deck or even your deck for that matter.
Ghost quarter can also be used strategically if an opponent decides to use a card like mystical tutor or vampiric tutor. End of your turn your opponent tutors to top deck a card. Their turns upkeep, sacrifice the ghost quarter to destroy "any one" of thier lands(maybe only an island or swamp or forest etc.) If they decide to search for a basic land they lose their key card with the library shuffle, if not ghost quarter is essentially a strip mine. ............................................
As far as the P9 reprints I see why not, different playing formats would lose thier flavor for a while.
I think retailers would like to see an actual P9 reprint for more reasons than just pack/box sales.
Sealed play might be awesome for a while.

yes ghost quarter can destory my dark depths then i say thank you for giving me a underground sea or a tropical island or what ever dual land. i would not use ghost quarter as a fetch land since you should be running fetch lands in your deck to get your duals out. yes crucible can bring back your quarte and do it again but same for fetch lands and strip mine and company. all and all ghost quarter is a very subpar card and there are many better choices out there.
