Yeah, they should print all of the cards they are designing for RDW at common to lower the cost of the deck even further. 




To be fair, Rarity only has a strong effect on Draft settings.  And this would be a pretty nuts draft common. 

Rarity does have some value on the secondary market, however isn't necessarily the value maker so much as demand is.  Just that good cards at rare are harder to obtain  And you can add on the mental effect of calling something a "rare" which makes people willing to pay more, as I have to wonder how "rare" certain money cards are as I see them for sale all the bloody time-at least with other collectibles you have to search a bit to find the money items.  That said printing it at uncommon probabl wouldn't do terribly much to the value unless it gets into the 10+$ range once prices have evened out. 



Still, ultimately, rare cards are thrice less common than uncommons (3 times rarer) and 30 times rarer than uncommons because EVERY SINGLE cards comes from (mainly) booster (pratically we can ignore intro packs and the other special sealed product I believe)
Demand is a strong factor, but so is supply.

Welcome to the community!

First use some deck tags so that others will see the cards in your deck:

(deck)20 Mountain
20 Goblin Guide
20 Lightning Bolt(/deck)

Just replace the ( )s with [ ]s:

20 x Mountain
20 x Goblin Guide
20 x Lightning Bolt

I will give u advice after u have completed this task!


I am Red/White

I'm both chaotic and orderly. I value my own principles, and am willing to go to extreme lengths to enforce them, often trampling on the very same principles in the process. At best, I'm heroic and principled; at worst, I'm hypocritical and disorderly.

But if you make all of the cards have equal chance of being in a booster you don't greatly increase the odds of getting a specific rare and you make it harder to get specific commons and uncommons. In the end you get the same supply and demand problems so making everything the same rarity is in fact not a solution.

Well, I never proposed anything at all, I was just poiting out rarity does influence on singles price to some extent.

If every card had equal rarity (so no rarity at all) we would ultimately have less quantity of useless cardboard gathering dust in a corner.

This measure would breake limited (fixeable by manteining the current system just for these events), but would be eco friendly AND lighter on our pockets.

Basically not true at all. You would have about the same chances of getting stuff as you do now and they still print "bad" cards because it makes for a good limited environment. Only a handful of cards from each set are constructed playable and it will always be that way.

I like how the Goblin's all amped up and charging and the soldiers in the background are all chill. The card? The card is good Wouldn't be surprised if we started seeing 2+ of this in aggro decks, either in the SB or MD.

And there goes flavor right out of the window again.

Now they can just DIRECTLY reference the stack in the next expansion.

Which can be a good thing:
"Remove target creature card you own from the game. Return it to the playing mat on your side when the stack is empty."
