Ah, the 90s cash-cow is still getting milked, I see. What a poor slop of slack-jawed bastards: shelling out for shiny flotsam w/ inflated valuation that can be instantly erased at corpo whim β the same bullshit tactics GW's been peddling in plastic for years before. (and still is, yes)
FFS, I noped out during Antiquities when I saw what a POS "card crack" model it was. How is this still alive?! π€’
Because it's fun to play? People buying and hoarding cards because of their monetary value is certainly something that happens, but this is first and foremost a game.
So, proxy's fine, then?
I would say so. As long as you aren't abusing the secondary market to proxy cards that are totally out of reach for your play group's power level
If proxies are allowed, then why wouldn't everyone in said group reconfigure their decks to include their clutch cards? That sounds like an unnecessary and illogical parameter, and implies an unavoidable need by the group to purchase their cards "normally" to feel that they're doing it correctly. π€πΌ
Brings us right back to "Fuck WotC, GW, CMON, etc.", eh? π€·π½ββοΈ
Speaking as a player that doesn't use proxies, if the people I play with suddenly all started to compete with stronger and stronger decks using proxied cards, I'd feel more likely to quit playing with them than try to keep up. Not everyone is looking for power.
Speaking as a fellow peasant, I'd like to point out that you seemed to understand earlier that proxy-use is assumed to be agreed on by the group and therefore open to all players. This latest comment implies a lie-by-omission ambush tactic, which is indefensible of course, so I'm not sure why you bring it up.
I'll restate for crystal-clarity:
Unless, of course, the commercial component is essential to your personal validation of the gameplay β which, let's be honest, is basically just painting a new face on clown punching.
In other words, Pay-to-win systems're pretty commonly regarded (worldwide) as greedy corpo bullshit, so how do you reconcile this Pay-to-feel-like-a-winner tradition?
By simply not looking it in the face? πΆπ€·π½ββοΈ
