I could get behind this on the condition that they don't pull the booster packs as a "redundant product" or some bullshit. Granted I just got GW, but it seems like the boosters fit the random nature and all that. I actually kinda wanna try a GW duels where players draft their deck.

Everything is better when you read it in Bane's voice.
Your human antics and desire to continue living have moved me. Just kidding. You cannot move me physically or emotionally. Wall humor.
Copy effects work like a photocopy machine: you get a copy of the 'naked' card, NOT of what's on it.
Funny story:
InQuest Magazine (I think it was InQuest) had an oversized Chaos Orb which I totally rooked someone into allowing into a (non-sanctioned) game.
I had a proxy card that was a Mountain with "Chaos Orb" written on it. When I played it, my opponent cried foul:
Him: "WTF? a Proxy? no-one said anything about Proxies. Do you even own an actual Chaos Orb?"
Me: "Yes, but I thought it would be better to use a Proxy."
Him: "No way. If you're going to put a Chaos Orb in your deck you have to use your actual Chaos Orb."
Me: "*Sigh*. Okay."
I pulled out this huge Chaos Orb and placed it on the table. He tried to cry foul again but everyone else said he insisted I use my actual Chaos Orb and that was my actual Chaos Orb. I used it, flipped it and wiped most of his board.
Unsurprisingly, that only worked once and only because everyone present thought it was hilarious.

no, see i can kill defenders, but 8 consecutive crits on a battlemind, eh walk it off.
Hi guys! So, I'm a sort of returning player to Magic. I say sort of because as a child I had two main TCG's I liked. Yu-Gi-Oh, and Pokemon. Some of my friends branched off in to Magic, and I bought two pre-made decks just to kind of fit in. Like I said, Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon were what I really knew how to play. I have a extensive knowledge of deck building in those two TCG's. However, as far as Magic is concerned, I only ever used those two pre made decks. I know how the game is played, and I know general things, but now I want to get in the game for real. I want to begin playing it as a regular. My question is, are all cards ever released from the time of the inception of this game until present day fair game in a deck? Or are there special rules? Are some cards forbidden or restricted? Thanks guys, and I will gladly accept ANY help lol. 
I have the same problem with women.

And that's why you should never, ever call RP Jesus on being a troll, because then everyone else playing along gets outed, too, and the thread goes back to being boring.
See, this is why RPJesus should be in charge of the storyline. The novel line would never have been cancelled if he had been running the show. Specifically the Slobad and Geth's Head talkshow he just described.
Not only was that an obligatory joke, it was an on-topic post that still managed to be off-topic due to thread derailment. RP Jesus does it again folks.
I think I'm gonna' start praying to Jesus... That's right, RPJesus, I'm gonna' be praying to you, right now.
O' Jesus
Please continue to make my time here on the forums fun and cause me to chuckle.
Amen.
It was wonderful. Us Johnnies had a field day. That Timmy with the Grizzly bears  would actually have to think about swinging into your Mogg Fanatic  , giving you time to set up your silly  combo  . Nowadays it's all DERPSWING! with thier blue jeans and their MP3 players and their EM EM OH AR PEE JEES and their "Dewmocracy" and their children's card games and their Jersey Shores and their Tattooed Tenaged Vampire Hunters from Beverly Hills 
Seriously, that was amazing. I laughed my *ss off. Made my day, and I just woke up.

If I see foil versions of the cards show up, I might go a bit ballistic.
Actually, I'd prefer this to the current model. At least if the rares were only foil versions of the uncommon cards (for example), it'd be easier to collect a set of cards to play the game. Then the foil cards could keep the collectable element for those that want it (and WotC's coffers) and the rest of us could collect a set of usable cards for a reasonable price.

that being said, i'd prefer the option to buy the whole set of cards lock, stock, and barrel too. unfortunately i probably fall into the minority that wouldn't buy the cards any other way than outright. there's always the possibility that once they get the impression they've milked the collectable market they'll release a complete set. hard to say if there'll be the same enthusiasm for the game at that point though.
I have not and will not ever buy boosters. I will buy a complete set if it's ever offered. We're not the only ones. That's untapped market. That's money they're losing. That doesn't even count the money they're losing from all the folks that won't touch the game this time around for hatred of CCGs.
And, yes, if they put enough delay between the booster release and the complete deck release, vanishingly few folks will actually 'wait for the decks.' Some may even buy both.

Give it time. Considering that WotC seems to have deceided that the game is done after three boxed sets... I would imagine that you'll be able to find complete card sets on ebay pretty cheap eventually. Either that, or dirt cheep booster boxes like you see for other small-market CCGs.

There is "kind" of a solution to collecting a bunch of booster packs. Theese guys: store02.prostores.com/servlet/auggiesgam...sell individual cards and have complete sets on ebay as well. (admittedly VERY expensive for the 120 card set... I'm not buying it) But .25 a card for commons isn't a bad alternative to ending up with a bunch of duplicates from booster packs.

Thinking about it, there are no additional booster sets planned, are there? When the game first released, I was under the impression for some reason that each box set was going to have it's own set of cards, but given the rapid release of the three boxes...
Then again, at first, I had thought each box was going to cover a ten level bracket.
