Are more expensive packs less likely to be mapped?

if two people had the same ref count, or similar, do you think it would be ok to try to trade/buy someone's username? like, if someone had an awesome username you wanted, do you think it would be a big deal? Hasn't happened. Just curious.

Possibly, but the price is the effect that mapping has had on boosters - you have to sell loose boosters cheap b/c of mapping (and the chance/likelihood that they were mapped) not because you've mapped them already necessarily.

Just out of curiosity - is your account so important to you because of all the refs you have acquired or is it because of the stellar reputation you've created for yourself?

Grats! I think some speculators are trying to drive legacy prices down or to a standstill with the whole "Legacy is dead sell your stuff" articles. __________________

I think I spoke about this earlier in the year, but only 2 SCG Legacy Opens have cleared 200 players this year, and it takes 250 entrants in order for the event to break even with the prize support. I think it was a valid point that SCG isn't necessarily looking to replace legacy opens with modern opens, but it's quite clear that one of the biggest drivers of legacy support is looking for a viable replacement to legacy opens next year. I guess we will see how quickly SCG is moving on that issue when they release the event schedule for the 2nd half of the year.

I think they will prob start to convert Sundays into each event rotating Legacy, Modern, and maybe limited, that way maybe if each of these is only a once every 3 or 4 week thing the player base each has may show up stronger increasing turnouts. I think if they go all modern it will have a similar effect to Legacy good turnouts for a while then as time goes on at it is the same decks week after week people will get bored, that is what is hurting legacy more than the cost, after all when they were generating 300 - 400 people more often most those people already had the decks they needed so I don't think cost is the main issue it's that while there is a good mix of decks you still land up seeing the same 20 or so every week, modern will prob be the same since adding new sets is not going to have as much impact to moder as it does to standard due to the increased card pool.

I think people are trying to compare it to years ago when it was Legacy vs Vintage. Problem is that Legacy is still a pretty diverse format, and things change all the time. Seems to me like Legacy vs Modern is a different fight all together. The deciding factor I think is that WoTC wants Modern to be the format. They want to have more direct control over the prices of cards. More importantly they want to make all the otherwise irrelevant cards in sets relevant with Modern. This way they can create more products (ahem, Modern Masters) that cater to it. They can't do the same with Legacy because of their reserved list. It seems Wizards has managed to find a happy balance between lining the crap out of their pockets, and making the Magic community as a whole very happy. All while promoting brick and mortar stores, and building the secondary market. To me this era, from Zen and up is like a golden age of the game.

That's funny I don't recall the last time a card got banned in standard until you mentioned this. One of the most oppressive decks of all time was built on that block. The benchmark of "powerful" planeswalker came out in that block. Heck, even valakut was fairly oppressive for a lot of strategies. On Legacy, I don't think it's going to die or go away. The people that invested in the format are still invested. I don't think they'll take too kindly to being forced to play a format where WOTC can mass reprint any of their stuff any given minute due to lack of availability. I think modern and legacy isn't so much a battle of formats, but more a different flavor aside standard.
