I'm kind of surprised the subtle saltiness that is building up in the mtg community as of late has become so prolific even outside this forum. There has been a number of people I've talked with who don't even come to this forum that seem to share the same dislike of masters sets and the way wizards is handling reprints. Normally this stuff is kind of contained to the internet.
I would love to know where you are seeing this. All 3 of the LGS I frequent sold out of MM17 by the second weekend it was out. I checks a few other LGS and there was very little product still on the shelves. According to the owners, players LOVE masters sets and buy it up faster then any other sets.
The game used to be far more diverse, explosive, and interesting. Dark Ritual, Exhume, Memory Jar, Turnabout, Swords to Plowshares, and Lightning bolt were built to be high impact cards that could swing the tide of the game when used with creatures and other spells. Those certainly would break the game as it is now, but that's only because they tried to turn this game into an over complicated mid-ranged affair with walkers.
The time you talk about in Magic I hated and is why I learned to draft better. I couldnt stand constructed formats back then. I personally dont like broken Magic and love the mid range fest its become. Even though I dislike Planeswalkers.
This is a perfect example of Wotc can not please everyone. No matter which way Wotc goes a portion of the player base is going to be unhappy.
They need to drop the MSRP on modern masters to 99 usd and do larger print runs. That's basically all I got on this subject because the modern "support" is pretty awful from Wizards.
When you figure its better then any other older/eternal format they ever sanctioned, I would say its pretty good.
Most expensive cards of the format (Modern) in the best draft format ever in the game, and you think you can start a boycott? This is laughable at best.
I know people that saved money for months just to get cases and draft as much as possible. Good luck trying to get those people to stop buying probably the best product they put out a year.
