Pathetic. Maro is a disgrace. I can see that WOTC has long stopped caring about the game, and instead are trying their best to milk it for as much as possible.
The snakecat really isn't that big of an issue guys, in any format. In standard, we're flush with removal and, as has been mentioned before, a ton of counterspells that get around the ability regardless. In modern, i mean, Gaea's Herald is already card and has seen zero play. Unless you're attempting to make your pet mono U deck work at the kitchen table, i don't think the cat does much, especially at 3 CMC. If nothing else, it adds another interesting dimension to standard. Won't see play outside of that, but that's okay and good nonetheless
Gaea's Herald is not exactly a main deckable card or a clock where as this beats for 4 starting turn 3. It's also not counterable itself.

--The wisest pot can pause
– 4chan of Phyrexia
Something like Nether Void or Moat would take a much larger hit. Something like Gaea's Cradle would probably be on par with FoW/Wasteland as far as drops go.
Even then the old ones wouldn't drop much. I mean, city of brass has 9 printings and there are a bazillion of them. You can get a playset for ten bucks. It sees pretty minimal use competitive formats. Oh, you want an Arabian Nights copy for your pimped-out EDH deck? That'll be $100, and by the way, it's a bit beat up.
Reprint Nether Void and new copies will be a hell of a lot cheaper than old ones, but the old ones won't drop much.
Even if you reprint those cards (esp Moat) vendors will snatch them up immediately and sell the for close to the current price, the power level is up there that even new printing will demand a premium. The only saving grace there is that they're not auto stables in decks.
I'm pretty sure a card getting banned has minimal impact on the price of a mat, if any. In fact it's more likely to add to the price depending on the notoriety of the card.
He taxes the crap out of Chinese counterfeit and makes Magic great again. He also abolishes the reserved list, because more cards to print = more American jobs.
I wouldn't mind Bolas losing. To this day I have no idea what his motivation is. Seems like a super bland villain. Bring back epic story lines like the Brothers War/Weatherlight please.

I can see an argument for foiling out your EDH commander because it is a special card. Anywhere else it looks tacky unless you foil the entire deck.

No plane is safe from the hacker known as 4chan.
