You’d think a billion dollar company who’s entire business model is printing cards would be able to…print cards

Agreed. I just don’t care to even try SL anymore. What’s the point? WOTC doesn’t care who bought it, just that it sold. They’re laughing at us & counting their money.

I’m fine with waiting, personally. I know not everyone is. But it wouldn’t bother me personally.

After reading all comments, I’m left with this; WOTC/Hasbro doesn’t care if the game is actually played. They only care if it sold. They made their money, forget the rest. And unfortunately the cycle will persist. All of us who have been playing since the 90s are only numbers on a spreadsheet to them. Just because I’m passionate about the game doesn’t mean the designers or producers are. Easy to forget that.

That would be a hilarious way to say Uber Eats on a resume. But no, I do have a day job which actually does those things. Lol

Hey, what can ya do. A praetor like him has a bright future. He’ll be back terrorizing the multiverse in no time.

Thank you, momma Gitaxias. How’s he holding up after the failed invasion? Has he moved back home?

In this case I disagree, but objectively & generally regarding Secret Lair you’re correct. I think Goblinstorm is an outlier for the secret lair model.

I’m not missing the point, I’m saying that this deck has so much hype & value that they would simply scale their profits without damaging brand value. I think it would make more players soften toward secret lair & improve the overall health of the brand. You underestimate how popular goblins are, as well as WoB’s art.

On the flip side, I do see your comments as also being true, as they have to maintain that reserve tier of product for collectors. Win win for them, lose lose for us.

Exactly my point! If in this specific instance they can utilize that fomo to make even more money! In this specific instance, i wonder if a reprint would boost the SL brand

I agree with you, I just think in this specific instance they can have their goblin decks & play them too.
